Brief Summary

A Randomized Study Comparing Nicotine Pharmacokinetics of Seven Electronic Cigarette Products and One Traditional Cigarette Across Two Delivery (10 puff and ad- libitum) Conditions, in Healthy Adult Smokers

Detailed Description

E- cigarettes may be an acceptable alternative to traditional cigarette smoking. By utilizing vaporization rather than combustion, the generation and inhalation of HPHCs, smoke, and carbon monoxide (CO) may be reduced or avoided. This study will provide an understanding of the in vitro levels of nicotine obtained with use of the company's ENDS products compared to competitor products marketed in the United States of America (USA), and to a popular brand of combustible cigarette smoked in the USA.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Male or female aged 18 to 60 years of age inclusive.
  2. BMI between 18 to 35 kg / m2 inclusive.
  3. Healthy based on medical history and screening assessments, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  4. Current smoker of at least 8 cigarettes per day on average.
  5. Has been smoking for at least 12 months prior to screening. Brief periods of non-smoking (e.g., up to ~7 consecutive days due to illness, trying to quit, participation in a study where smoking was prohibited) are permitted at the discretion of the Investigator.
  6. Able to participate, and willing to give written informed consent and comply with study restrictions.
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Clinically relevant medical or psychiatric disorder, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  2. Clinically significant abnormality on screening ECG.
  3. Sustained blood pressure recordings at screening of < 90 mmHg or > 150 mmHg for systolic blood pressure, or < 50 mmHg or > 90 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure.
  4. Sustained resting heart rate of > 100 or < 40 beats per minute at screening.
  5. Positive result for urine drugs of abuse test or alcohol breath test at screening. If a positive urine drug test is observed, and it is believed the positive urine test is due to prescription drugs, the PI should obtain documentation that a) confirms the subject's use of the prescribed medication, and b) the prescribed medication will cause a false positive drug test.
  6. Clinically significant abnormality in laboratory test results at screening, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  7. Exposure to an investigational drug in a clinical trial within 1 month prior toAssessment Day 1.
  8. Blood or plasma donation of > 500 mL within 1 month prior to Assessment Day 1.
  9. Positive urine pregnancy test at screening or Assessment Day 1 in female subject.
  10. Any clinically significant concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with, or for which the treatment of might interfere with, the conduct of the study, or that would, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.48 days

Nicotine Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 e-cigarettes/cigarette will be estimated using Tmax(Time of the maximum measured plasma concentration over the duration of the measurement interval. If the maximum value occurs at more than one time point within the time span specified, Tmax is defined as the first time point with this value

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Characterize consumption of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes products by collecting total number of puffs for each e-cigarette48 days

To characterize consumptions of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes products within-each and between-all delivery conditions (10 puffs versus ad-libitum puffs), by collecting total number of puffs.

Measure exhaled Carbon Monoxide change in all product administration periods48 days

To estimate change in exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) for 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes Products, in all product administration periods under 2 different delivery (10 puff and ad-libitum) conditions. Exhaled CO will be measured 5-15 minutes prior to initiation of the first inhalation, and up to 15 minutes after the collection of the 30 minute PK sample

Characterize level of user Satisfaction for 8e-cigarette/cigarettes products using Modified Product Evaluation Scale48 days

To characterize measures of subjective effects with use of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes Products under 2 different delivery (10 puff and ad-libitum) conditions using a modified Product Evaluations Scale questionnaire using scale below after collection of the 30-minute PK sample and exhaled CO measurement.

Change in Evaluation: 1= not at all, 2= very little, 3= a little, 4= moderately, 5= a lot, 6= quite a lot, 7= extremely

Four multi- item subscales will be derived from "Satisfaction" (questions 1, 2, 3, and 12); "Psychological Reward" (questions 4 through 8); "Aversion" (questions 9, 10, 16, and 18) and "Relief" (questions 11, 13, 14, 15, and reversed for question 19) and single questions 17 and 20 will be summarized.
