Active clinical trials for "Tobacco Use Disorder"

A placebo-controlled study to enroll male and female tobacco smokers who will participate in five experimental sessions. subjects will be given an IV infusion of either saline or 1 mg nicotine at rapid, moderate or slow infusion rates (nicotine at 0.24,0.096, 0.048 and 0.024, mcg per kg body weight per sec).

The proposed study investigates the feasibility and efficacy of FITs in dual-smoker couples [DSCs]. The core design is a three-group mixed repeated measures design, in which participants are randomized into one of three conditions (control [CTL], dyadic target [DT] FIT or single target [ST] FIT) and tracked across 3 months. The FIT involves monetary incentives for online psychoeducation completion and smoking abstinence at follow-up.

The study is a randomized crossover trial. Current smokers will complete a session with each product: usual brand cigarette, e-cigarette, and heat-not-burn. The objective of this survey is to assess for ongoing use of study products and is part of safety monitoring.

The current pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of a novel mHealth app designed for people who are ambivalent about quitting smoking. Results will be used to refine the intervention and plan for a future randomized effectiveness trial.

This is an extension of a previous feasibility study (Clinical Trials Registry - NCT02571244). The actual study is a research aimed to compare the effectiveness of telephone counseling and personalized text messages (TM) for supporting post-discharge quit attempts among hospitalized smokers, with focus on smoking cessation as the main outcome. Smokers patients will receive brief interventions and nicotine replacement therapy during the hospitalization. After discharge smoker patients will be allocated into a intervention or control arm. In the first and third months, after randomization, the patients will be contact to smoke abstinence assessment.

The purposes of this study are 1) to determine the pharmacokinetics of nicotine after multiple dose administration by electronic cigarette and 2) to compare the acute effects of multiple dose of nicotine administrated by electronic cigarette compared with those obteined by cigarette.

The purpose of this study is to determine how reducing the level of nicotine in cigarettes may affect adolescent smoking behavior. In this study, the researchers will randomize adolescent (age 15-19) daily smokers to either receive VLNC cigarettes or normal-nicotine content (NNC) study cigarettes for three weeks following a one-week usual-brand baseline period. Participants will be instructed to smoke only those cigarettes. The researchers will conduct daily assessments of total cigarette use (both study cigarette and non-compliant use of usual brand cigarettes), craving, and withdrawal, weekly assessments of breath carbon monoxide (CO) levels, cigarette acceptability, risk perceptions of VLNC and NNC cigarettes and demand for usual-brand cigarettes, and pre- vs. post-use measures of nicotine and toxicant exposure. Overall, the project will help determine how VLNC cigarettes may affect real-world smoking behavior in adolescents, and illuminate the potential mechanisms through which these products may effect such changes. Such knowledge will contribute to the science base that may inform future policy decisions.

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of using e-cigarettes as a method for harm reduction and the effects of providing e-cigarettes (or placebo e-cigarettes) on smoking outcomes. Participants will be randomized to receive either e-cigarettes with nicotine cartridges or e-cigarettes with placebo cartridges, and followed for 3 weeks.

The objective of this study is to examine the cognitive, immunological, and neurophysiological effects of transitioning from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes. The central hypothesis of this study is that this transition will be accompanied by a decrease in peripheral inflammation, which will lead to significant changes in the neurocircuitry underlying interoception and appetite.

This is a multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of community health worker (CHW) vs. usual clinician support in helping chronically-ill patients with low socioeconomic status to improve their health outcomes.
