Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Changes in Smokers Using An Oral Tobacco-Derived Nicotine Product (NCT NCT04079933)

NCT ID: NCT04079933

Last Updated: 2024-09-27

Results Overview

Summary statistics of percent change from baseline for urinary total 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol \[NNAL\] (%) in each study visit are presented. Baseline taken from Visit 3 (Day 8±1) value. Visit 4 = Day 15±1 Visit 5 = Day 22±1 Visit 6 = Day 29±1 Visit 7/End of Study = Day 36±1 Mean percent change from baseline is the mean of all individual subjects' percent change from baseline values. Each percent change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the individual subject's baseline value from the value at the desired timepoint and then dividing this calculated value by the individual subject's baseline value and multiplying by 100. These individual subjects' percent changes from baseline values were used to calculate the mean percent change from baseline using a Statistical Analysis System (SAS®) procedure.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 15 (Visit 4), Day 22 (Visit 5), Day 29 (Visit 6) and Day 36 (Visit 7/End of Study) relative to the start of the baseline period (Visit 2/Day 1)

Population: Per-protocol population. All Per-Protocol Test and Control subjects were included in the analysis. If a value was missing for any subject at any visit, that subject's value was omitted from the analysis for that visit only.

Summary statistics of percent change from baseline for urinary total 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol \[NNAL\] (%) in each study visit are presented. Baseline taken from Visit 3 (Day 8±1) value. Visit 4 = Day 15±1 Visit 5 = Day 22±1 Visit 6 = Day 29±1 Visit 7/End of Study = Day 36±1 Mean percent change from baseline is the mean of all individual subjects' percent change from baseline values.

Population: Per-protocol population

Summary statistics of percent change from Baseline for urinary S-phenyl mercapturic acid \[S-PMA\] (%) in each study visit are presented. Baseline taken from Visit 3 (Day 8±1) value. Visit 4 = Day 15±1 Visit 5 = Day 22±1 Visit 6 = Day 29±1 Visit 7/End of Study = Day 36±1 Mean percent change from baseline is the mean of all individual subjects' percent change from baseline values. Each percent change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the individual subject's baseline value from the value at the desired timepoint and then dividing this calculated value by the individual subject's baseline value and multiplying by 100. These individual subjects' percent changes from baseline values were used to calculate the mean percent change from baseline using a SAS® procedure.

Population: Per-protocol population

Summary statistics of percent change from Baseline of number of products used per day in each study visit are presented. CPD was tracked using an interactive voice response system (IVRS). During the Baseline Period (Days 1 to 8), subjects reported CPD daily through an IVRS each day between 16:00 and 19:00. Test and Control subjects continued daily tobacco use tracking via an IVRS and return to the study site once a week during the 4 week Product Use Period on Days 15, 22, 29, and 36. Mean percent change from baseline is the mean of all individual subjects' percent change from baseline values. Each percent change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the individual subject's baseline value from the value at the desired timepoint and then dividing the calculated value by the individual subject's baseline value and multiplying by 100. These individual subjects' percent changes from baseline values were used to calculate the mean percent change from baseline using a SAS procedure.

Summary statistics of change from Baseline for Total Score of Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence at the end of study/early termination are presented. The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence consists of Yes/No and multiple-choice questions where each response is assigned a value from 0 to 1 (for yes/no questions) or 0 to 3 (for multiple-choice questions). Values are summed to yield a total score with a minimum score of 0 points and a maximum score of 10 points. The higher the total Fagerström score, the more intense is the patient's physical dependence on nicotine. Baseline = Visit 3 (Day 8) value Population: Per-Protocol

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Daily during Baseline Period (Day 1 to Day 8)

Population: The CPD from Method 1 (Past 7 Day Cigarettes Use Questionnaire) for all subjects in the Per-Protocol population was compared to CPD from Method 2 (7 day average from IVRS) for all subjects in the Per-Protocol population.

This secondary objective was to compare differences in the biomarker of exposure between two methods for determining CPD during the Baseline Period. Difference in product use (Cigarettes Per Day \[CPD\]), including test product, between two methods for determining CPD during the Baseline Period: Method 1: Recall of average daily CPD for prior week using Past 7 Day Cigarettes Use Questionnaire (Day 1). Method 2: Daily CPD tracking using an interactive voice response system (IVRS; 7 day average of values recorded on Days 2 through 8). Population: Per-Protocol.

Population: The CPD frequency population (the subjects from the per-protocol population in each cigarette consumption category) was defined by the end of study cigarette use data. This population was then assessed for biomarker data at end of study and previous study visits. The number of samples for biomarkers data may not equal the number of subjects in population (defined by end of study CPD), due to missing visits, missing samples, or missing analytical results.

Summary statistics of blood carboxyhemoglobin in each visit among subjects in Test and Control groups sub-categorized by cigarette consumption categories obtained from End of Study ('Increase', 'No Change', \>50% Reduction', '50 to \<100% Reduction', '100% Reduction' and 'Missing') are presented.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (Visit 2), Day 8 (Visit 3), Day 15 (Visit 4), Day 22 (Visit 5), Day 29 (Visit 6) and Day 36 (Visit 7)

Population: The CPD frequency population (the subjects from the per-protocol population in each cigarette consumption category) was defined by the end of study cigarette use data. This population was then assessed for biomarker data at end of study and previous study visits. The number of samples for biomarkers data may not equal the number of subjects in population (defined by end of study CPD), due to missing visits, missing samples, or missing analytical results.

Summary Statistics of exhaled carbon monoxide in each visit among subjects in Test and Control groups sub-categorized by cigarette consumption categories obtained from End of Study ('Increase', 'No Change', \>50% Reduction', '50 to \<100% Reduction', '100% Reduction' and 'Missing') are presented.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8 (Visit 3) and Day 36 (Visit 7/End of Study)

Population: The CPD frequency population (the subjects from the per-protocol population in each cigarette consumption category) was defined by the end of study cigarette use data. This population was then assessed for biomarker data at end of study and previous study visits. The number of samples for biomarkers data may not equal the number of subjects in population (defined by end of study CPD), due to missing visits, missing samples, or missing analytical results.

Change from Baseline to End of Study summary statistics of urinary nicotine equivalents (mg/g creatinine) by Test and Control groups sub-categorized by cigarette consumption categories obtained from End of Study ('Increase', 'No Change', \>50% Reduction', '50 to \<100% Reduction', '100% Reduction' and 'Missing') are presented. Nicotine equivalents include nicotine and its 5 metabolites (cotinine, trans-3'-hydroxycotinine, trans-3'-hydroxycotinine-0-glucuronide, nicotine-N-glucuronide, and cotinine-N-glucuronide). Baseline = Visit 3 (Day 8) values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8 (Visit 3) and Day 36 (Visit 7/End of Study)

Population: The CPD frequency population (the subjects from the per-protocol population in each cigarette consumption category) was defined by the end of study cigarette use data. This population was then assessed for biomarker data at end of study and previous study visits. The number of samples for biomarkers data may not equal the number of subjects in population (defined by end of study CPD), due to missing visits, missing samples, or missing analytical results.

Change from Baseline to End of Study summary statistics of blood carboxyhemoglobin (%) by Test and Control groups sub-categorized by cigarette consumption categories obtained from End of Study ('Increase', 'No Change', \>50% Reduction', '50 to \<100% Reduction', '100% Reduction' and 'Missing') are presented.
