Assessment of Smoking Topography and Behaviors During Response to Varenicline
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Varenicline for Nicotine Dependence. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will demonstrate the behavioral responses to varenicline, helping to better understand its mechanisms. Hypotheses for the study are to observe decreases in smoking topography and nicotine cigarette choice on varenicline, relative to placebo; and decreases on day 21 relative to day 7 during varenicline treatment. We also propose to examine if extended duration of treatment has clinical significance in decreasing smoking behaviors, thus increasing the efficacy of varenicline.
