A Clinical Trial of Adaptive Treatment for Early Smoking Cessation Relapse

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a research study to find out if treatment decision making can be improved for smokers who find it difficult to quit with medications. Everyone who participates in this study will receive free product, either nicotine replacement therapies (patches and lozenges), varenicline, or a harm reduction product (e-cigarette) for a full 12 weeks. Most participants will receive some combination of these treatments, depending on individual response to each. All visits and study assessments will be entirely remote. All treatments will be provided free of charge for the first 12 weeks. After that, the study team will contact the participants 6 months after the first study phone call to complete another survey. The study lasts six months and will involve 8 surveys.

Clinical Trial Description

Treatment seeking smokers across both Alabama and South Carolina (N=544) will be recruited and consented through established online methods and randomized to receive a 4-week course of either varenicline or combination NRT (patch + lozenge), counterbalanced. Using a concrete and measurable indicator of early treatment success (3 days non-smoking), smokers demonstrating early success at 4 week follow-up will continue with another four weeks of same medication, either varenicline or combination NRT. Those who do not demonstrate early success will be randomized to a subsequent 4-week course of either a) continuation of same medication, or b) switch to the other FDA approved option, either varenicline or combination NRT. The same process will repeat at Week 8, wherein treatment responders will continue with their ongoing medication and non-responders will be randomized to a final 4-week course of either a) continuation of same medication or b) switch to an e-cigarette. End of treatment outcomes will be assessed at Week 12 at which time no more product will be offered. Final follow-up at Week 24 will ascertain all primary (cessation) and secondary outcomes. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
