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

A single oral dose of each medication will be administered to each participant with a 48 hour washout period between administrations. Serial blood samples will be obtained at the following times after the administration of the nicotine dosage forms: 0, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes. Vital signs will be obtained prior to dosing and at 30, 60, 180, and 240 minutes after dosage administration. A craving questionnaire will be administered prior to dosing and at 5, 11, 17, 25, 35, 50, and 65 minutes. Craving questionnaires will then be administered at 30 minute intervals thereafter up to 180 minutes after medication administration. A Product Preference Questionnaire will be completed at the end of the second study period. A 30 day follow-up visit will be scheduled with each participant at the conclusion of the study

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.

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
Time Frame
The primary outcome measure is to substantiate that the pharmacokinetics of this novel nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) resembles that of smoking a cigarette, wherein the average Tmax is about 15 minutes or less. ►
Time Frame: Serial blood samples will be obtained at the following times after the administration of the nicotine dosage forms: 0, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes.
