Trial Outcomes & Findings for Precision Pharmacotherapy Smoking Cessation Program (NCT NCT04897607)

NCT ID: NCT04897607

Last Updated: 2023-03-31

Results Overview

Participants will report smoking status at the final assessment. Participants who self-report smoking cessation completed a carbon monoxide reading for biochemical confirmation of smoking status. The percentage of participants who achieve smoking cessation in each arm will be evaluated.

Measure
Treatment Plan Option 1 (Standard Care)
Standard smoking cessation counseling will be offered + participant choice of nicotine patches or varenicline. Participants are also free to decline either medication. Standard Care: Participants will be advised to quit smoking and offered a choice of nicotine replacement patches or varenicline. Participants are free to decline medication.
Treatment Plan Option 2 (Precision Pharmacotherapy)
Standard smoking cessation counseling will be offered + a recommendation to take either the nicotine patch or varenicline based on the results of the NMR test. Regardless of the recommendation, it would still remain the participant's choice to be prescribed either nicotine patches or varenicline. Participants are also free to decline either medication. Precision pharmacotherapy: Participants will be advised to quit smoking and provided a medication recommendation on the basis of their nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) test (i.e., nicotine replacement patches for slower metabolizers, varenicline for faster metabolizers). Participants are free to choose either medication or decline any medication.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1-week follow-up

Participants will report which smoking cessation medication, if any, was used. Medication usage will be classified as matching their NMR profile as follows: slower metabolizer = nicotine replacement therapy, faster metabolizer = varenicline. The percentage of participants who matched in each arm will be evaluated.
