Trial Outcomes & Findings for Nicotine Delivery Systems: Research & Treatment (NCT NCT00108342)

NCT ID: NCT00108342

Last Updated: 2014-06-04

Results Overview

In addition to quit attempts, use of NRTs, and preference among NRTs, we also planned to assess learning and changes in motivation at all visits. Unfortunately, the study was terminated due to common comorbidities among the Veterans that precluded entry into the study. Due to the consequent small sample size, we did not analyze any data.

Measure
NRT Sampling
Sampling = actual 3 minute testing of each of 6 NRTs (3 forms x 2 dosages) Nicotine gum - 2 mg and 4 mg Nicotine lozenges - 2 mg and 4 mg Nicotine inhaler - infrequent and frequent puffing for dosage (can yield 4 mg from 10 mg device)

Assessment of adverse events was carried out by the PI, a Study Physician, and a Research Assistant. In this study, a non-serious adverse event was one that involved expected side effects of the medications. These were monitored for the NRT Sampling Arm during testing. Side effects were not assessed for the Computer Learning intervention.
