E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• to compare ONS, two sprays of 1 mg nicotine, and one Tabex tablet of 1.5 mg cytisine after 12 hours of overnight abstinence with respect to reduction of urges to smoke during the first 5 minutes after start of treatment, and
• to compare the two treatments with respect to the urges-to-smoke scores at 30, 45, and 60 seconds, 3 and 5 minutes vs. baseline.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• to compare the study treatments with respect to the estimated time to a 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of the baseline urges-to-smoke score,
• to compare the proportion of subjects reaching 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of the baseline urges to smoke within 30, 45, and 60 seconds, 3, 5, and 10 minutes for the study treatments,
• to describe the urges-to-smoke profile of the study treatments during 2 hours after dose,
• to compare the study treatments with respect to the urges-to-smoke scores at 30, 45, and 60 seconds, 3 and 5 minutes vs. baseline, and during the first 5 minutes, in the fraction of the subjects reporting “tough” baseline urges to smoke,
• to compare the study treatments with respect to negative affect related nicotine withdrawal symptoms (depressed mood, irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating),
• to evaluate preference of the study treatments with respect to craving relief,
• to evaluate tolerability and safety of the study treatments.

Females: Postmenopausal state (absence of menstrual discharge for at least two years and a serum Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level exceeding 30 IU/L) or premenopausal/perimenopausal state with an effective means of contraception (oral, injected, implanted, transdermal, hormonal contraceptives, vaginal contraceptive ring, intrauterine device, or status after operative sterilization) during the study and 30 days thereafter, single male partner who has had a vasectomy, or abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, during the study and 30 days thereafter.
6. Males: No pregnant spouse or partner at screening and willingness to protect potential spouse or partner from becoming pregnant during the study and 30 days thereafter.
7. A personally signed and dated informed consent document, indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
8. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, and other study procedures specified in the protocol.

2. Known sensitivity to any ingredient of the studied formulations.
3. Females: pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
4. History of alcoholism or substance abuse, as judged by the Investigator, within the past 6 months preceding this study.
5. Treatment with an investigational drug, other than those described in this protocol, within 3 months preceding this study and until the last treatment visit of the study.
6. Use of drugs indicated for smoking cessation or history of a quit attempt within than 3 months preceding the screening visit.
7. Pathological oral status interfering with absorptive function of the oral cavity.
8. Relationship to persons involved directly with the conduct of the study (i.e., PI; sub Investigators; study coordinators; other study personnel; employees or contractors of the sponsor or Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries; and the families of each).
