Extended Treatment for Smoking Cessation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Bupropion, Nicotine patch, and 1 other intervention for Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 223 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Adult smokers (21-65) and adolescent smokers (18 - 21) years of age residing in Alameda and Santa Clara counties will serve as the target population for this study. A total of 400 smokers meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized. Treatment will include both open label and extended treatment phases. Randomization. Participants will be randomized to extended therapy or control conditions at baseline (prior to open label treatment) and the analysis will be intention-to-treat (ITT) to avoid the threat of selection bias. Primary hypothesis. Smokers randomized to receive CBT during extended treatment will have a higher prolonged abstinence rate (PA) at 52 week and 104 week follow-up than participants in the Supportive therapy Control treatment.

Both groups received the same pharmacotherapy per protocol. During open label treatment, all received CBT and bupropion and NRT patch. At week 10 those who continued to smoke were switched to varenicline through week 26. At week 10 those who are abstinent and reported low levels of craving and low levels of depression symptoms were withdrawn from study medications. Those who were abstinent but reported difficulty with craving or depression symptoms remained on bupropion and NRT through week 26. Medication was not available after week 26.
