Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reduced Exposure to HPHC in Smokers Switching From Cigarettes to Different Versions of THS (NCT NCT05599451)

NCT ID: NCT05599451

Last Updated: 2024-09-20

Results Overview

Concentrations measured in urine, adjusted for creatinine, at Day 5. Geometric Least Squares means are provided for biomarkers of exposure (BoExp) in smokers switching from CIG to various THS versions (THS Blade device; THS Induction Mono device; THS Induction Mid device) compared to continuing CIG smoking for 5 days.

Cigarette
Subjects randomized to this arm participated in 5 days of ad libitum use, in confinement, of the subject's preferred brand of regular (non-mentholated) cigarette between 06:30 AM and 11:00 PM. (Every subject brought a sufficient number of unopened, single-brand packs of CIG for the entire confinement period.) CIG: Subject's preferred brand of commercially available regular (non-mentholated) cigarettes. (Cigarettes are not provided by the study sponsor.)
THS Blade Device
Subjects randomized to this arm participated in 5 days of ad libitum use, in confinement, of the THS Blade device (using regular THS blade tobacco sticks) between 06:30 AM and 11:00 PM. THS Blade device: Tobacco Heating System (THS) device with Blade technology for Blade tobacco stick use
THS Induction Mono Device
Subjects randomized to this arm participated in 5 days of ad libitum use, in confinement, of the THS Induction Mono device (using regular THS induction tobacco sticks) between 06:30 AM and 11:00 PM. THS Induction Mono device: Tobacco Heating System (THS) device with Induction technology (combined Charger-Holder device for Induction tobacco stick use).
THS Induction Mid Device
Subjects randomized to this arm participated in 5 days of ad libitum use, in confinement, of the THS Induction Mid device (using regular THS induction tobacco sticks) between 06:30 AM and 11:00 PM. THS Induction Mid device: Tobacco Heating System (THS) device with Induction technology (device with Induction stick Holder for Induction tobacco stick use and separate Charger).

Measure
Cigarette
n=19 participants at risk
Subjects randomized to this arm participated in 5 days of ad libitum use, in confinement, of the subject's preferred brand of regular (non-mentholated) cigarette between 06:30 AM and 11:00 PM. (Every subject brought a sufficient number of unopened, single-brand packs of CIG for the entire confinement period.) CIG: Subject's preferred brand of commercially available regular (non-mentholated) cigarettes. (Cigarettes are not provided by the study sponsor.)
