Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of the 21mg nicotine transdermal patch from GSK Dungarvan (Test) compared to the 21mg nicotine transdermal patch currently manufactured by Alza (Reference).
The proposed pilot study aims to develop and test a patient video educational tool, an interactive Mobile Doctor (iMD), that can be integrated in radiation oncology setting to effectively engage cancer patients receiving treatment at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to facilitate smoking cessation and maintaining smoking abstinence in the context of their radiation treatment. This study is the first to address tobacco use among can patients receiving radiation therapy that targets both tobacco cessation (current users) and maintaining abstinence (former users who have recently quit).
The goal of this project is to experimentally evaluate how expectations about reduced-nicotine cigarettes as well as actual nicotine content interact to determine behavioral and subjective response for these novel products.
The study is a randomized crossover trial. Current menthol smokers will complete a session with each flavor of an electronic cigarette: menthol and tobacco. The objective of this survey is to assess for flavor preference.
The aim of this study is to test intervention components to help young adults quit vaping. A 2x2 factorial design will be used where all participants receive quitline-delivered behavioral phone counseling, and components to be tested are a digital intervention (with text and online cessation support) and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). The research questions and hypotheses for this study are: 1. Which components and combinations of intervention yield the greatest success rates for exclusive vaping cessation among young adult exclusive e-cigarette users? H1: The complete condition (NRT + digital) will yield significantly higher rates of cessation compared to the control condition (quitline only). 2. Does 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) improve initial cessation outcomes relative to no NRT. H2: Providing NRT will yield significantly higher quit rates compared to the No NRT condition. 3. Do tailored text-messages and online support during cessation improve initial cessation outcomes relative to no digital content? Are young adult vapers engaged with and satisfied with digital cessation tools? H3: Digital support will yield significantly higher quit rates compared to no digital support. H4: Higher engagement in digital content will be associated with higher cessation success rates.
It is of considerable scientific and clinical importance to assess tobacco withdrawal accurately since withdrawal severity is highly determinant of smoking cessation success. In addition, smoking cessation pharmacotherapy produces its effects on smoking abstinence by suppressing such symptoms. However, in order to ensure that a measure of tobacco withdrawal is sensitive to severe withdrawal, it is essential to examine a period of unmedicated abstinence. The current study aims to validate, and possibly enhance, a revised Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale long and brief version for use in research and clinical settings. Two hundred adults who smoke cigarettes daily and report a desire to quit smoking will be enrolled. This is a treatment-delay, one-group clinical trial that is intended to enhance the assessment of tobacco withdrawal amongst participants who try to quit smoking with delayed use of cessation medication. Participants will not receive any pharmacotherapy during the first 1 week of their quit attempt and will initiate 8 weeks of combination nicotine replacement therapy (C-NRT; nicotine patch + nicotine mini-lozenge) starting 1 week past the target quit day (TQD). Participants will receive 4 counseling sessions as well (1 pre-quit, 3 post-quit). Participants will complete 4 weeks of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) smartphone surveys including a 2-week baseline (starting TQD-14) and 2-week post-TQD (1-week un-medicated, 1-week using C-NRT).
The overarching aim of this proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to test nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with text message support for two smoking cessation approaches among young adult dual users of combustible cigarettes (CC) and electronic cigarettes (EC). The investigators will use a 2x2 factorial design to randomize 390 participants to receive A) NRT plus text messages to quit CCs only, B) NRT plus text messages to quit CCs and ECs simultaneously, C) text messages alone to quit CCs only, or D) text messages alone to quit CCs and ECs simultaneously. The investigators primary outcome will be 7-day point-prevalence abstinence at the end of treatment (i.e., 3 months after randomization). The investigators will recruit participants using national advertising strategies. All treatment will be provided remotely in order to increase treatment access and comply with current COVID-19 restrictions.
EMB-001 is a combination of 2 drugs: the cortisol synthesis inhibitor, metyrapone (Metopirone®), and the benzodiazepine receptor agonist, oxazepam (original trade name Serax®; now marketed as oxazepam (generic) only). This is an open-label study in up to 50 adult subjects to help smokers abstain from smoking during a 12-week trial period.
To examine reward processing and cognitive control both with and without the influence of vaporized nicotine in young adults with no history of cigarette use using EEG and fMRI. The goal is to determine whether acute nicotine administration using a Juul device would impact functional correlates of reward and inhibitory control in people who commonly use juul devices.
This open-label study will evaluate EMB-001, comprised of metyrapone, a cortisol synthesis inhibitor marketed as a diagnostic drug for testing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, combined with oxazepam, an anxiolytic and sedative/hypnotic benzodiazepine, to help smokers abstain from smoking during a 12-week trial period.
