The purpose of this proposed pilot study is to examine the use of varenicline in people with schizophrenia to specifically assess tolerability and efficacy for smoking cessation. Specifically, The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine if taking of varenicline along with an individual smoking cessation supportive program is a safe and effective treatment of nicotine addiction in schizophrenic patients. We hypothesize that the varenicline treated patients will achieve higher rates of smoking cessation than those who receive placebo and individual support.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change of ExpiredCO Level From Baseline | End expired carbon monoxide (CO) level change from baseline to determine participants' level of smoking reduction by treatment assignment. Larger negative values represent a greater level of smoking reduction. | Weekly for 12 weeks | |
Primary | Level of Nicotine Dependence by Treatment Assignment | Nicotine dependence was measured using the total score from the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) assessment. The total score is computed by adding the scores from the five subscales. Total scores range from 1-10, with lower scores representing a smaller degree of nicotine dependence. | Weekly for 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) - Total Score | The total BPRS score is calculated by adding the scores for subscales #1-#18. Each scale ranges from "1=Not Present" to "7=Very Severe". Total scores range from a minimum score of 18 to a maximum score of 126. A higher total score indicates a more severe psychiatric symptom rating. | Baseline (week 0) then again during the Treatment Phase at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. | |
Secondary | Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) - Psychosis Score | The psychosis score is calculated by adding the scores for scales #4 Conceptual Disorganization, #11 Suspiciousness, #12 Hallucinatory Behavior, and #15 Unusual Thought Content. Each scale ranges from "1=Not Present" to "7=Very Severe". The minimum psychosis score is 4 and the maximum psychosis score is 28. A higher score indicates a more severe psychosis rating. | Baseline (week 0) then again during the Treatment Phase at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. | |
Secondary | Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) - Anxiety/Depression Score | The anxiety/depression score is calculated by adding the scores for scales #2 Anxiety and #9 Depressive Mood. Each scale ranges from "1=Not Present" to "7=Very Severe". The minimum anxiety/depression score is 2 and the maximum psychosis score is 14. A higher score indicates a more severe anxiety/depression rating. | Baseline (week 0) then again during the Treatment Phase at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. | |
Secondary | Side Effects | Side effects (33 items) were measured using a Side Effects Checklist (SEC). The percentage of participants endorsing each side effect were reported regardless of the severity or relation to study drug. | Weekly for 12 weeks |
