Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study compares a new oral Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) product with NiQuitin™ lozenge 4 mg and Nicorette®gum 4 mg, after 12 hours of nicotine abstinence, with respect to nicotine pharmacokinetics, during 12 hours after start of administration. Single doses of each treatment are given once in the morning during five separate treatment visits scheduled in a crossover setting with randomized treatment sequences. The study will include 45 healthy smokers between 18-50 years, who have been smoking at least 15 cigarettes daily during at least one year preceding inclusion. Subjects and study personnel will be aware of which treatment is administered at a given visit.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Plasma Concentration
Time Frame: During 12 hours after start of administration
Cmax, which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma after a dose is administered measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/ml)
During 12 hours after start of administration
Bioavailability
Time Frame: 12 hours
A measure of how much of the drug reaches a person's bloodstream within a given period of time for the body to use. The extent of product bioavailability is estimated by the area under the blood concentration vs time curve. The area under the curve (AUC) is calculated by plotting the drug's blood levels on a graph at different times during the set period to form a curve. The area under this curve reflects the amount of drug exposure in the set time period, calculated as hour*nanograms/milliliter (h*ng/ml).
12 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Nicotine Plasma Concentration
Time Frame: During 10 minutes after start of administration
Area under the nicotine plasma concentration curve at 10 minutes (AUC10 min)
During 10 minutes after start of administration
Time of Maximum Concentration
Time Frame: During 12 hours after start of administration
The time at which maximum concentration is reached (Tmax)
During 12 hours after start of administration
Terminal Elimination Rate Constant
Time Frame: During 12 hours after start of administration
The terminal nicotine elimination rate constant (Lamda z)
During 12 hours after start of administration
Released Nicotine
Time Frame: After 30 minutes' chewing
The amount of nicotine released from Nicorette® gum 4 mg during 30 minutes' chewing
After 30 minutes' chewing

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
