- Brief Summary
This is an open-label, 4-way crossover study designed to estimate the nicotine, glycerin, propylene glycol, menthol, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein levels in exhaled breath samples during use of four MarkTen® XL e-vapor products. The study will enroll approximately 32 adult e-vapor-using subjects at one site in the United States in High Point, NC.
- Detailed Description
This is an open-label, 4-way crossover study designed to estimate the nicotine, glycerin, propylene glycol, menthol, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein levels in exhaled breath samples during use of four MarkTen® XL e-vapor products (which are no longer manufactured or sold commercially). The study will enroll approximately 32 adult e-vapor-using (with no more that 60% of either sex). Each of the 32 subjects will provide two exhaled breath samples (10 puffs for each sample) for all four test products. Subjects will make two visits to the site, one screening visit and one 4 day in-clinic visit to provide exhalation samples for four test products (one each day for 4 days). Subjects will also use their assigned test product ad libitum for 12 hours each day after the collection of exhaled breath samples. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a test product-use schedule at Visit 2, with one test product used per day. The anticipated study duration for each subject from screening through completion of all study participation will be approximately 34 days.

Questionnaire was collected after each product use session. Questionnaire consists of a single question ("If given the opportunity, I would want to use this product again") with VAS response range from "Definitely Would Not" to "Don't Care" to "Definitely Would". Participants indicated their willingness to use the product again by pointing to a line measuring 100mm, with scores measured from left to right and ranging between 0 to 100 mm. Scores closer to the right, and thus higher on the scale, indicated a greater willingness to utilize the product again. The raw scores were then converted to a binary, "unwilling" vs. "willing" to use response. Additionally, a 3-level ordinal response was computed using "unwilling" (VAS \< 50 mm), "don't care" (VAS = 50 mm), and "willing" (VAS \> 50 mm).
