Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with depression tend to have a higher prevalence of smoking as well as increased severity of nicotine dependence. Phase 2 and Phase 3 varenicline clinical trials that demonstrated its efficacy and tolerability have not included subjects with depression. This smoking cessation study focuses on the depressed population and will assess the efficacy and safety of varenicline.
