Trial Outcomes & Findings for Smoking Cessation Pilot for People Living With HIV (PLWH) (NCT NCT04808609)

NCT ID: NCT04808609

Last Updated: 2023-02-23

Results Overview

7-day point prevalence abstinence was calculated as the percentage of participants who reported no smoking/tobacco use in the 7 days prior to their 12-week follow-up visit biochemically verified by exhaled Carbon Monoxide (eCO) collected at 12 weeks. Participants with eCO levels \<6 parts per million (ppm) at 12 weeks were classified as abstinent while participants with eCO levels ≥6ppm at 12 weeks were classified as not abstinent.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from an existing database of persons living with HIV who had participated in earlier studies and agreed to be re-contacted for future studies and posting flyers at a local HIV clinic between 9/29/2020 and 4/19/2021. The first participant was enrolled 10/6/2020 and the final participant was enrolled 4/19/2021.

All 40 enrolled participants were randomized.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12 weeks follow up

Population: All participants who provided follow up data at 12 weeks were included in the outcome analysis

7-day point prevalence abstinence was calculated as the percentage of participants who reported no smoking/tobacco use in the 7 days prior to their 12-week follow-up visit biochemically verified by exhaled Carbon Monoxide (eCO) collected at 12 weeks. Participants with eCO levels \<6 parts per million (ppm) at 12 weeks were classified as abstinent while participants with eCO levels ≥6ppm at 12 weeks were classified as not abstinent.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12-week Follow-up

Population: All participants who provided follow up data at 12 weeks were included in the outcome analysis

Exhaled Carbon Monoxide (eCO) was measured via Micro +TM basic Smokerlyzer® in parts per million (ppm) and collected at Baseline and at 12-week Follow-up. Theoretically possible result values range from 0 to 150 ppm with higher values indicating more eCO. Mean change for this study was calculated as Baseline eCO value minus 12-week Follow-up eCO value such that positive mean values indicate a decrease in eCO from Baseline to 12-week Follow-up.

Timeframe: Baseline, 12-week Follow-up

Population: All participants who provided follow up data at 12 weeks were included in the outcome analysis

The CES-D measure contains 20 items asking respondents to rate how often over the past week they experienced depression-associated symptoms. Response options are coded as: 0 = Rarely or None of the Time, 1 = Some or Little of the Time, 2 = Moderately or Much of the time, 3 = Most or Almost All the Time. Scores are calculated by reversing scores for positive statements and adding all responses together. Scores range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater presence of depressive symptoms.

Timeframe: Baseline

The CAGE Substance Abuse Screening Tool contains 4 questions with binary answer options: 1 = Yes, 0 = No. Scores are calculated by adding response values. Scores range from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating alcohol problems. CAGE stands for the 4 question names: Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener
