Randomized Controlled Smoking Cessation Trial on Adaptive Pharmacotherapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Varenicline Standard Protocol, Nicotine Patch Standard Protocol, and 2 other interventions for Nicotine Dependence. Completed, enrolled 188 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess an "adaptive" approach to smoking cessation pharmacotherapy. The protocol is designed to compare adaptive vs. standard approaches to two common smoking cessation pharmacotherapies - Varenicline (commonly known as Chantix) and the Nicotine Patch. The investigators hypothesize that participants allocated to adaptive therapy will show significantly higher biochemically confirmed 30-day continuous abstinence at 12 weeks post-Target Quit Day (TQD).
