Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Smoking Cessation
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01847443
Lead Sponsor

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AUC(0-t) of Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

AUC(0-t) of Nicotine 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum

Cmax of Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post-dose

Cmax for 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum

Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference ProductBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

Cmax for 2 mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum

Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Time 't' [AUC(0-t)] of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference ProductBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

AUC(0-t) for 2 mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference Products, and Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductsBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

Tmax for 2 mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum, and 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum

Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-life (T1/2) of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference Products, and Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductsBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

T1/2 of 2 mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum, and 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum

Apparent Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (Kel) of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference Products, and Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductsBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

Kel for 2 mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum, and 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum

Area Under Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to ∞ [AUC(0-∞)] of Nicotine 2 mg Test and Reference Products, and Nicotine 4 mg Test and Reference ProductsBlood samples to be collected from baseline to 12 hours post dose

AUC(0-∞) for 2mg test was compared with 2 mg reference gum, and 4 mg test was compared with 4 mg reference gum
