Summary

This phase 3 randomized controlled trial will test Metabolism-Informed Smoking Treatment (MIST), a precision approach to smoking treatment that biologically tailors medication selection to nicotine metabolism.

Conditions

  • Smoking

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Post-discharge automated phone calls (IVR) with option to connect with a tobacco coach.

Automated calls to assess smoking status, medication use, and additional support for quit attempt.

DRUG

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

FDA-approved forms of nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation.

DRUG

Varenicline

FDA-approved smoking cessation medication.

OTHER

Metabolism Informed Smoking Treatment (Nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR)-based selection of pharmacotherapy)

Nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR)-based selection of pharmacotherapy. NMR is a blood test to measure how fast the body breaks down nicotine.
