123I-5-IA SPECT Imaging of Nicotinic Receptors and Effects of Nicotine Vaccine
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating NicVAX, [123I]5-IA-85380, and 1 other intervention for Nicotine Dependence. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a molecular imaging research study designed to examine how much nicotine gets into the brain before and after vaccination with NicVAX, a nicotine vaccine developed by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals. NicVAX (Nicotine Conjugate Vaccine) is an investigational vaccine designed as an aid to smoking cessation and long-term abstinence, as well as an aid to prevent relapses of a treated smoker. In this project we want to understand the degree to which NicVAX administration changes how much nicotine enters the brain in smokers.
