Registration Number
NCT01702532
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

Nicotine mouth film is a new dosage form of nicotine replacement therapy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the craving relief efficacy of nicotine mouth film by comparing mint nicotine mouth film to nicotine lozenge in light smokers using the provoked craving model. The cues used to provoke a craving episode will be the sight and smell of a lit cigarette and the manipulations required to light a cigarette. The smokers will be denied access to cigarettes for 4 hours prior to the provoked craving session in order to precipitate nicotine withdrawal and an increase level of cigarette craving.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Change From Pre-dose Post-provocation in Craving Score at 50 SecondsPre-dosing post-provocation to 50 seconds

Participants completed a cigarette craving assessment consisting of the following five items: "I have a desire for a cigarette right now; If it were possible I would smoke right now; All I want right now is a cigarette; I have an urge for a cigarette; I crave a cigarette right now. All participants indicated craving intensity on a pre-drawn 100 millimeter (mm) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (disagree) to 100 (agree). The average of the scores over the five items was defined as craving score for each time point.
