Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacokinetic Study of 4 mg Nicotine Lozenge. (NCT NCT01669122)

NCT ID: NCT01669122

Last Updated: 2015-01-22

Results Overview

Area under the plasma concentration time curve from zero and extrapolated to the time of last quantifiable sample was determined from plasma concentration time profile of nicotine. AUC(0 -t) was based on the baseline adjusted nicotine plasma concentration data.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE2

Target enrollment

40 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Blood samples were collected pre-dose and at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post dosing

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at the clinical site.

A total of 102 participants were screened, of which only 40 were randomized into the study. Fourteen participants did not meet the study criteria, 32 were lost to follow up, 2 withdrew consent while remaining 14 were not randomized due to other reasons.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Blood samples were collected pre-dose and at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post dosing

Population: Per protocol (PP) population: all randomized participants profiles, without a protocol deviation that would have lead to the data exclusion.

Area under the plasma concentration time curve from zero and extrapolated to the time of last quantifiable sample was determined from plasma concentration time profile of nicotine. AUC(0 -t) was based on the baseline adjusted nicotine plasma concentration data.
