A Bioequivalence Study Between Two Nicotine Replacement Therapies in Adult Healthy Smokers Motivated...
Tobacco DependenceThis is a research study to verify the same effectiveness and safety profile for the test product, Nicorette Strongmint lozenge, as for an already approved product, NiQuitin® Minimint lozenge (reference product), in a standardized mode. This verification is done in a so-called bioequivalence study, which means that the same amount of the same active substance (nicotine), in the same dosage form, for the same route of administration, and meeting the same or comparable standards is performed. During the study visits, blood samples will be drawn to measure the level of the substance in the blood to verify that the two products are comparable. Tolerability of the treatments will be evaluated based on reported and observed adverse events.
Stress Neuroadaptation in Tobacco Dependence
Nicotine DependenceThe objective of the current study is to evaluate the validity of the No Shock, Predictable Shock, Unpredictable Shock (NPU) stressor task for use as a surrogate endpoint to predict short-term clinical outcomes among smokers during a smoking cessation attempt.
Identify Biomarkers of Tobacco Exposure and Nicotine Uptake From JUUL 5% in Adult Smokers
Nicotine DependenceOther Tobacco Product3 moreThe JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) is being studied as an alternative to combustible cigarette use. This study aims to find out how much nicotine is in the blood and urine of healthy adult subjects after using three JUUL 5% ENDS compared to smoking usual brands of combustible cigarettes and stopping smoking.
The Influence of Electronic (ECIG) Heater Resistance on ECIG Acute Effects
Nicotine DependenceThe purpose of this study is to measure the individual and combined influence of electronic cigarette (ECIG) heating element resistance and liquid nicotine concentration on ECIG acute effects. Thirty-two experienced ECIG users will complete four independent laboratory sessions that will differ by heater resistance (0.5 ohm or 1.5 ohm) and liquid nicotine concentration (3 or 8 mg/ml). Other factors such as voltage, liquid solvent ratio, and liquid flavor will be held constant. Plasma nicotine concentration, subjective effects, and puffing behavior will be recorded for each condition.
Reactions to E-cigs and Alcohol
Alcohol AbuseNicotine Dependence Tobacco ProductThe purpose of this study is to 1) examine cognitive acuity following e-cig use (as compared to no e-cig use), 2) examine motor coordination following beer and e-cig use (as compared to beer consumption only).
Behavioral Economic Purchasing Decisions for Cigarettes of Varied Compositions
Tobacco Use DisorderSubstance-Related DisordersThe purpose of this study is to determine whether the abuse liability of cigarettes with altered composition (cigarettes differing in composition; e.g., tar levels, amount of sugar, casings) is reduced relative to standard composition cigarettes.
Translational Neuropsychopharmacology Research of Nicotine Addiction
Nicotine DependenceCigarettesThis study will examine the effects of combining Varenicline (VRN) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on neural circuitry function and treating nicotine addiction. Healthy adult nicotine dependent cigarette smokers interested in quitting (n=110) will be randomized to one of four PBO-controlled conditions for 4 weeks: 1) VRN+NAC, 2) VRN+PBO, 3) NAC+PBO or 4) PBO+PBO. Following 1 week of medication, participants will be contingently reinforced for 3 days of smoking abstinence and be scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques, while nicotine deprived during a resting state and a cue-reactivity (CR) task. Participants will be followed over the next 3 weeks of treatment and clinical variables will be assessed.
