Nicotine Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of the Tobacco Heating System 2.2 Menthol (THS 2.2 Menthol)

March 9, 2020 updated by: Philip Morris Products S.A.

A Single-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Study to Investigate the Nicotine Pharmacokinetic Profile and Safety of Tobacco Heating System 2.2 Menthol (THS 2.2 Menthol) Following Single Use in Smoking, Healthy Subjects Compared to Menthol Conventional Cigarettes and Nicotine Nasal Spray

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles (rate and amount of nicotine absorbed) after a single use of the THS 2.2 Menthol (mTHS 2.2) compared to a single use of the menthol conventional cigarette (mCC) and nicotine nasal spray (NNS).

  • Day 2 = wash-out
  • Day 3 = 2nd intervention (single product use of mCC).
Single use of mTHS 2.2
Single use of subject's own mCC
Active Comparator: mCC then mTHS 2.2

Each subject will follow the below study design:
