Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in exposure to selected harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHC) by measuring biomarkers in adult smokers who partially or completely switch from smoking cigarettes to oral tobacco-derived nicotine (OTDN) products compared to those who continue exclusive smoking cigarettes or stop using all tobacco products.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open label, randomized, 6 parallel-group clinical study evaluating changes in exposure to selected HPHCs, subjective effects, and product use behavior in adult smokers relative to continued smoking who are randomly assigned to continue smoking, partially or completely switch to oral tobacco-derived nicotine products, or stop using any tobacco products for 7 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Voluntary consent to participate in this study documented on the signed informed consent form (ICF).
2. Healthy adult males and females 21 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at Screening
3. Smoking history of an average of at least 10 but no more than 30 factory manufactured combustible cigarettes daily for at least 1 year prior to Screening. Brief periods (i.e., up to 7 consecutive days) of non-smoking during the 3 months prior to Screening (e.g., due to illness or participation in a study where smoking was prohibited) will be permitted.
4. Positive urine cotinine (≥ 500 ng/mL) at Screening.
5. Willing to comply with the requirements of the study.
6. Willing to use all test products after product trial at Check in.
7. Willing and able to abstain from cigarettes from Day 1 through the End of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Use of any type of tobacco or nicotine containing products other than manufactured cigarettes (e.g., e vapor products, roll-your-own cigarettes, bidis, snuff, nicotine inhaler, pipe, cigar, chewing tobacco, nicotine patch, nicotine spray, nicotine lozenge, or nicotine gum) in the 7 days prior to Check in
2. Self-reported puffers (i.e., adult smokers who draw smoke from the cigarette into the mouth and throat but do not inhale).
3. Planning to quit smoking in the next 30 days (from Screening visit).
4. History or presence of clinically significant gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, neurologic, hematologic, endocrine, oncologic, urologic, existing respiratory diseases, immunologic, psychiatric, lymphatic, or cardiovascular disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or impact the validity of the study results.
5. Clinically significant abnormal findings on the vital signs, physical examination, medical history, ECG, or clinical laboratory results, in the opinion of the Investigator.
