Trial Outcomes & Findings for Combination Bupropion / Varenicline for Smoking Cessation in Male Smokers (NCT NCT01806779)

NCT ID: NCT01806779

Last Updated: 2016-01-18

Results Overview

This will be determined by a composite of self-report at the 11-week study visit of no smoking between the 8-week and 11-week visits and expired air carbon monoxide (CO) \<10 ppm (measured at the 11-week study visit). An intent-to-treat criterion will be used, whereby drop-outs are considered to be non-abstinent.

Participant Flow

Recruitment began on 3/4/2013 and ended on 9/7/2014. Of the 376 subjects (subjs.) consented during this period, 197 subjects met all study criteria.

Of the 376 subjs. enrolled, 179 were withdrawn by study staff or withdrew voluntarily from further participation prior to the 1st study visit (V1). 197 subjs. met all study criteria, attended V1 \& given NRT for 1 week; 176 subjs. attended V2 \& completed SE quest.; 2 subjs. dropped out during this visit before randomization; 174 subjs. randomized.

Participant milestones
Measure
Chantix
For the first 3 days after being switched from Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT, occurring at one week after initiation of nicotine patch treatment, one week before the target Quit Day), smokers in this group will receive treatment with Chantix at a dose of 0.5 mg once per day followed by 0.5 mg twice a day for the remaining 4 days of that week. Subsequently, the dose will be 1 mg twice per day, and will remain at that dose for the remainder of the 12-week active treatment duration. Chantix Nicotine patches: All participants will receive 21 mg/24 h dose nicotine patches for 1 week.
Chantix + Zyban
For the first 3 days after being switched from NRT (occurring at one week after initiation of nicotine patch treatment, one week before the target Quit Day), smokers in this group will receive treatment with Chantix at a dose of 0.5 mg once per day followed by 0.5 mg twice a day for the remaining 4 days of that week plus Zyban at a dose of 150mg once per day. Subsequently, the dose of Chantix will be 1 mg twice per day and the dose of Zyban will be 150 mg twice per day for the remainder of the 12-week active treatment duration. Chantix Zyban Nicotine patches: All participants will receive 21 mg/24 h dose nicotine patches for 1 week.
Nicotine Patches Only
These subjects received nicotine patches at the first study visit but dropped out before randomization. 176 subjects attended the second study visit and provided side effects (SE) data. Two of these subjects dropped out during that visit (after providing SE data but prior to randomization). So, out of the initial 197 subjects receiving nicotine patches, 174 went on to receive Chantix or Chantix+Zyban; 23 subjects only received nicotine patches before dropping out.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Quit Day and 1 week, 3 weeks, 7 Weeks, 11 Weeks and 6 months post Quit Day

Population: A total of 163 subjects (Chantix n=82, Chantix+Zyban n=81) attended the first post-quit visit. However, ten subjects (5 in each condition) failed to complete or return their Quit Day withdrawal questionnaires; therefore change scores could only be calculated for 153 subjects (Chantix n=77, Chantix+Zyban n=76).

Withdrawal symptoms will be assessed by questionnaire on Quit Day, Week 1, Week 3, Week 7 and Week 11 post target quit date and 6 months post quit Follow-Up (if applicable) using the Shiffman-Jarvik questionnaire, which consists of 33-items rated from 1 to 7, where 1= not at all, 2= very little, 3= a little, 4= moderately, 5= a lot, 6= quite a lot, and 7= extremely. The 33 items are grouped into 8 subscales: Craving, Negative Affect, Appetite, Arousal, Somatic - Anxiety, Somatic - G.I., Somatic - Respiratory Tract, and Habit Withdrawal. The range of scores for each subscale will be 1-7, with higher scores indicating more of the withdrawal symptom having been experienced.
