Evaluating the Effect of Nicotine on Eye Movements and Related Behaviors in Electronic Cigarette Users, NICS-EYES Trial

18 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: Patrick Tomko, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

Nicotine Effects on Eye Movements and Self-Report Measures (NICS-EYES)

This clinical trial evaluates the effect of nicotine on eye movements and related behaviors in people who use electronic (e)-cigarettes. Nicotine is an addictive, poisonous chemical found in tobacco. It can also be made in the laboratory. When it enters the body, nicotine causes an increased heart rate and the use of oxygen by the heart and a sense of well-being and relaxation. E-cigarettes are the most commonly used tobacco products in young adults in the United States. E-cigarettes deliver nicotine rapidly and the potential for addiction (abuse liability) is comparable to combustible cigarettes. The Food and Drug Administration uses a combination of testing including self-reported scales, withdrawal assessments and behavioral tasks to evaluate the abuse liability of a nicotine product. Research has shown that nicotine alters movement of the eye (oculomotor) and the amount of nicotine in the blood impacts the extent of oculomotor function impairment. Despite this evidence linking nicotine to oculomotor changes, it has not been studied as a reliable marker for abuse in e-cigarette users. Studying eye movements can provide information about how the brain responds to nicotine and may help researchers develop better, more objective ways to measure how addictive nicotine products in e-cigarette users.

Descripción detallada

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the between-session reliability of oculomotor biomarkers during standardized nicotine administration in daily e-cigarette users.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the association between oculomotor (OM) responses to nicotine and behavioral economic indices of reinforcing value.

II. To assess the relationship between oculomotor changes and nicotine withdrawal relief.

OUTLINE:

Participants abstain from nicotine for at least 12 hours and caffeine products for at least 2 hours, as well as obtain sleep for at least 5-6 hours before each study visit. Participants self-administer 5% nicotine non-mint menthol pods via an e-cigarette device using a guided standardized puffing routine over 5 minutes on visit one. At least 48 hours later, participants complete the same 5-minute guided puffing routine as in visit one and then use an e-cigarette as they normally would over 30 minutes at visit two. Participants also complete eye movement testing and undergo blood sample collection during each visit.
