| E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The principle question this project plans to answer is to determine if a tailored dose of varenicline provides better withdrawal and craving relief in the first week of abstinence than a standard varenicline dose.
The primary outcome measure will be the rating of urges to smoke one week after the target quit date assessed by Mood and Physical Symptoms Scale [MPSS] (West and Hajek 2004). |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
| The secondary outcome measure will be the rating of urges to smoke 24 hours after the target quit date, to identify the proportion of peopl who notice no effect of varenicline prior to TQD; to see if there is an effect of a tailored individual dose of varenicline on short-term abstinence (stopping smoking) rates at 1-week, 4-week and 12-weeks;withdrawal symptoms (e.g. irritability, hunger, anxiety) during the first 4-weeks of not smoking; client ratings of treatments; and adverse effects. |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
| Smokers seeking treatment, aged 18 and over, consenting to take part in the trial. Only those who report ratings of 4 or less on the enjoyment question and 2 or less on the nausea question at session 2 will be randomised. |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
| Pregnant or breastfeeding, end-stage renal disease, current psychiatric illness, severe heart condition, previous allergic reaction to varenicline, unable to fill out the questionnaire in English, is unable to attend the randomisation visit or currently taking part in a research study. |

| E.5 End points |
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
