A Pilot Pragmatic RCT of a Hospital-based Precision Pharmacotherapy Smoking Cessation Program
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard Care and Precision pharmacotherapy for Smoking Cessation. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the benefits of a personalized treatment approach, compared to a non-personalized treatment approach, for smoking cessation. In other words, this study will help us know if recommending a specific medication to individual smokers will make it easier to quit smoking than simply offering an option of medications. The specific recommendation for a medication will be based on a test that measures how quickly a smoker breaks down, or metabolizes, nicotine.

Interventions
Participants will be advised to quit smoking and offered a choice of nicotine replacement patches or varenicline. Participants are free to decline medication.
Participants will be advised to quit smoking and provided a medication recommendation on the basis of their nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR) test (i.e., nicotine replacement patches for slower metabolizers, varenicline for faster metabolizers). Participants are free to choose either medication or decline any medication.
