To demonstrate the reduction of Biomarkers of Exposure (BoExp) to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHC) in smokers switching from cigarette (CIG) to P4M3, an Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), compared to continuing cigarette smoking for 5 days.
This placebo-controlled Phase 2 study is being conducted at sites within the United States to evaluate the safety profile of 3 mg cytisinicline administered TID for 12 weeks.
This is a single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label, cross-over study with healthy adult smokers. The study will investigate the nicotine pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of two e-liquid variants used with the P4M3 Gen 2.0 e-cigarette, compared to smoking combustible cigarettes. In addition, pharmacodynamic (PD) effects (subjective effects and related behavioral assessments), will be evaluated to provide further insights on product evaluation, craving, liking, puffing topography. The study will be conducted with three periods and six sequences in a cross-over design. This study is exploratory and there is no pre-specified hypothesis to be tested.
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS/e-cigarettes/vaping) are increasingly popular among teenagers around the world. The safety and potential adverse effects of ENDS in this population are largely unknown. While the aerosol, that users inhale, appears safe under laboratory conditions, there are still open questions, which have not yet been assessed. These cover (a) differences in exposure to chemicals (such as metabolites of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and metabolites of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)) between healthy teenagers using ENDS and healthy teenagers not vaping, (b) effects of exposure to such chemicals on the body (measured by lung health indicators: airway symptoms such as coughing; lung function and lung structure tests; immune response of airway cells exposed to vapor; markers of oxidative stress), and (c) the role of nicotine metabolism. It is unknown which lung health indicator/s is/are most relevant to assess the effect of ENDS on lung health in teenagers. The primary hypothesis of this study is that there will be differences in exposure to chemicals, resulting in more or more severe airway symptoms in vaping teenagers compared to their non-vaping peers. While there might not yet exist any differences regarding lung function or structure, we expect already visible effects of vaping on the local immune response of primary cells isolated from airways in vaping teenagers as compared to non-vaping peers. In this study, participants of the Bern Basel Infant Lung Development (BILD) cohort, a birth cohort of healthy term-born infants and their follow-up, will serve as healthy, non-vaping controls.1 Vaping teenagers will be recruited independently from the BILD study through advertisements and visits to Bernese schools. Both populations combined represent the study population of the e-BILD study. All e-BILD study participants will undergo the same investigations. While these are currently planned for once in a time (so-called cross-sectional design) to compare results from non-vaping BILD study participants to otherwise healthy but vaping teenagers, repeated measures might follow, depending on the findings of the first phase.
The people of the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) face higher cancer incidence, especially lung/bronchia and head-and-neck cancer, and poorer cancer outcomes, compared with the U.S. nationally. This may partly be driven by the high rates of cigarette smoking and betel (areca) nut use in the USAPI. Previous data suggest that that adolescents on Guam, as young as middle school students report markedly higher e-cigarette and tobacco product use prevalence in the USAPI compared with the USAPI nationally. Guam youths are also at risk for the use of betel nuts. Yet, currently there are no tobacco product/areca nut use prevention programs that have been developed for and tested specifically USAPI adolescents. The proposed study will develop a school-based substance use prevention curriculum for e-cigarette, tobacco product, and areca nut use prevention among Guam youths. The curriculum will use lessons incorporating innovative videos and culturally grounded activities. The study's specific aims are: 1. To develop a school-based curriculum for e-cigarette, tobacco product (i.e., cigarette, smokeless tobacco), and betel nut use prevention among middle school students in Guam. 2. Test the efficacy of the school-based curriculum in a randomized controlled trial.
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.
The aim of this study is to determine if graphic messages prevent future vaping use among African American and Latino adolescents. The images have been developed in a user-design model and include four main themes: health reward, financial reward, self-efficacy, and social norms. We will assess pre- and post-exposure reactions on likelihood of future vaping among African American and Latino adolescents.
Menthol cigarettes comprise almost one-third of the United States (US) market share and are disproportionately smoked by racial minorities. Tobacco control policies targeting menthol flavoring in tobacco could have significant public health outcomes, especially among black smokers. One key challenge of tobacco regulation is weighing the risks and benefits of potential policies across different populations (i.e., users and non-users). Tension arises between policies intended to prevent adolescent and young adult (AYA) tobacco initiation and those intended to reduce harm among current tobacco users. The availability of menthol e-liquids may be important for encouraging menthol cigarette smokers to switch to e- cigarettes, but mint e-liquids, which are appealing to AYA, may be unnecessary to facilitate switching. Including mint e-liquids in flavor bans but allowing menthol e-liquids to remain on the market as potential substitution products for menthol smokers may be an optimal policy approach. The study team is proposing a lab study and field assessment to determine how including menthol and mint e-liquids in e-liquid flavor bans or sales restrictions affects tobacco product purchasing and use among menthol cigarette smokers. At lab sessions, participants will complete the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM) task, a behavioral economics task in which they receive account balances to an online store and can buy menthol cigarettes at escalating costs or buy e-liquids, non-menthol cigarettes, or nicotine replacement gum at fixed costs. They will complete the task under four marketplace conditions: (1) only tobacco e-liquids available, (2) menthol and tobacco e-liquids available, (3) menthol, mint, and tobacco e-liquids available, and (4) tobacco, menthol, mint, fruit, dessert. During a field assessment, product choice is validated by assessing use of products purchased during the ETM task. This proposal will inform policy-makers about the impact banning menthol and mint e-liquids will have on facilitating menthol cigarette smokers switching to e-cigarettes.
