PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Upon completion of 8-week period

Population: The study population was randomized 1:1 across Treatment A (CT-101-M) and Treatment B (QuitGuide). The population enrolled was US only, male or female, ages 18 to 65, and smoke at least 5 cigarettes per day with an interest in quitting smoking within the next 30 days. Participants enrolled had not used Clickotine or QuitGuide; and were not using an NRT at the time of enrollment

Self-reported abstinence from smoking was assessed in the 8-Week Outcome Survey.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Upon completion of 8-week period

Confirmation with the remote CO assessment was conducted to assess concordance between self-report and remote CO assessment results. Abstinence as per the CO assessment was defined as an iCO reading of fewer than 7ppm exhaled CO.
