简要总结
The overall purpose of this research is two-fold. First, the two smoking cessation medication treatments with the strongest evidence of effectiveness have never been directly compared. This research will determine how these two treatments compare in effectiveness in a head-to-head trial, and which types of smokers benefit most from each. Second, much of the data on smoking and health come from studies from many years ago. Today's smokers differ from earlier smokers in many ways that could influence the impact of smoking on health (e.g., weight, sex, diet, socio-economic status); the proposed work will determine how smoking cessation affects cardiovascular and pulmonary health in today's smokers.
详细描述
The proposed study will recruit and treat a large sample of contemporary smokers and former smokers at an age of increasing health risk, to achieve the following over-arching aims that are important to the NHLBI mission:
- Specific Aim 1: Produce important new data on how to treat smoking optimally by conducting an open label comparative effectiveness trial (CET) that for the first time directly contrasts the two smoking cessation pharmacotherapies with the strongest extant evidence of efficacy: combination NRT and varenicline.
- Specific Aim 2: Determine the impact of smoking cessation on biomarkers and health risk factors, especially those relevant to CVD, in today's smokers, which will elucidate the mechanisms via which cessation benefits health.
- Specific Aim 3: Identify which individuals are at greatest risk for exacerbation of biomarkers or risk factor status due to continued smoking, and who will benefit most from cessation. This will help identify individuals who are most in need of cessation intervention. While all smokers need to quit, this evidence could ultimately be used to help focus treatment and motivate smokers and clinicians to intervene more intensively with patients at greatest risk.
Two secondary aims are to use the results of Primary Aim 1 to develop a treatment assignment algorithm for the optimal treatment of today's smokers and to use the results from Primary Aim 2 to determine the relation of health biomarkers to clinically meaningful disease outcomes such as CVD events.
We will re-recruit as many smoking and non smoking participants from our past longitudinal cohort study("Wisconsin Smokers' Health study"; NCT01122238) in 2004. We will then recruit additional smokers to participate in the comparative effectiveness trial and join the longitudinal cohort..
All participants who enroll will complete questionnaires about their demographics, smoking history, withdrawal symptoms, affect, alcohol use, stressors, medication usage and diet. They will also complete a structured clinical interview to assess mental health. They will provide blood samples for testing of various markers of cardiovascular disease and risk as well as for genetics testing. They will all have carotid ultrasounds, pulmonary function tests, arterial tonometry assessments, and 12-lead ECGs. Participants in Madison will also have a treadmill stress test. Participants will wear a pedometer for 1 week and record the daily number of steps. Participants will provide permission for staff to review their medical charts to assess smoking-relevant diagnoses and treatment. These assessments will occur at baseline and again 3 years later. A smaller subset of these assessments will also be conducted 1 year after enrollment. Participants will also complete brief phone assessments at 6-month intervals up to the 3-year visit.

入选标准
- •a. To be eligible for the Comparative effectiveness trial, participants must:
- •smoke 5 or more cigarettes per day,
- •desire to quit smoking but not be currently engaged in cessation treatment,
- •be medically eligible to use either combination NRT or varenicline,
- •have reliable phone access,
- •if female, must not be pregnant and must be willing to use an acceptable birth control method.
排除标准
- •There are no exclusion criteria for participating in the main health outcomes study, other than being unwilling to complete study assessments.
- •All smoking participants from new and original cohorts will be excluded from the cessation trial for the following reasons:
- •end-stage renal disease with hemodialysis;
- •prior suicide attempts within the last 5 years or current suicidal ideation;
- •diagnosis of and/or treatment for schizophrenia;
- •other psychotic disorders or bipolar disorder within the last 10 years;
- •current PHQ-9 score indicative of moderately severe depression;
- •severe untreated hypertension >200/100 mmHg;
- •currently taking Wellbutrin, Zyban or bupropion;
- •hospitalized for a stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure or diabetes within the last year;
- •used pipe tobacco, cigars, snuff or chew more than twice in the past week.
- •It should be noted that if any incidental findings appear in any of the cardiology tests (e.g., ultrasound, tonometry, ECG, or exercise stress test; see forms in Supplemental Information section of application), the study cardiologist (Dr. Stein or his designee) will be assign the participant to the non-randomized treatment arm and they will be given the nicotine patch and the same counseling intervention as CET participants. They will not be included in the CET analyses. This will be done to properly address the cardiovascular risk warning from the FDA regarding varenicline (Chantix).
