简要总结
This is a single-site, open-label, randomized, 6-way crossover study designed to evaluate elements of abuse liability (AL) including subjective effects, physiological measures (pharmacodynamics [PD]), and plasma nicotine uptake (pharmacokinetics [PK]) during controlled monitored use and following ad libitum use of the study investigational products (IPs) by generally healthy smokers who are also users of smokeless tobacco.
详细描述
Smokers who only use filtered menthol or non-menthol cigarettes and who also use loose or pouched moist snuff smokeless tobacco [Moist Snuff Tobacco (MST)] will be recruited into this AL study to evaluate elements of AL of four modern oral (MO) nicotine products (hereinafter, Study IPs) compared to combustible cigarettes (CC) and MST.
For this study, participant's usual brand smokeless tobacco product needs to be moist snuff (loose or pouched) and not a Snus smokeless oral tobacco product.
Potential participants will complete a pre-screening telephone interview. They will complete a Screening Visit to assess their eligibility within 45 days prior to check-in and enrollment.
Starting on Day 1, participants will check-in at the clinical site to confirm eligibility. Eligible participants will be enrolled, randomized and confined in the clinic for 7 days (6 nights).
Participants will be randomized to a product use sequence (using a Williams Design) in which they will evaluate one IP in each of six separate daily Test Sessions, such that each participant will evaluate a total of six IPs; Wintergreen 12 mg nicotine (fleece A), Wintergreen 9 mg nicotine (fleece A),Wintergreen 9 mg (fleece B), Watermelon Mint 9 mg nicotine (fleece A), participant's usual brand moist snuff tobacco [UB MST], and a high-AL comparator (participant's usual brand cigarette [UB CC]).

- •Generally healthy males or females, 21 to 60 years of age, inclusive, at the time of consent.
- •Smokes combustible, filtered, non-menthol or menthol cigarettes, 83 mm to 100 mm in length as primary source of tobacco and who also use MST. Participant's usual brand MST product needs to be a moist snuff tobacco product and not a Snus oral tobacco product.
- •Smokes an average of at least 10 cigarettes per day (CPD) and inhales the smoke, for at least 6 months prior to Screening. Brief periods of abstinence due to illness, quit attempt (occurring 30 days prior to Screening), or clinical study participation (occurring 30 days prior to Screening) will be allowed at the discretion of an investigator.
- •Agrees to smoke the same UB cigarette throughout the study period. The UB cigarette is defined as the reported cigarette brand and style currently smoked most frequently by the participant.
- •Reports daily use of MST products and agrees to use the same UB MST throughout the study period. The UB moist snuff is defined as the reported moist snuff brand and style currently used most frequently by the participant.
- •Expired breath carbon monoxide (eCO) level is ≥ 10 ppm and ≤ 100 ppm at Screening and at check-in (Day 1).
- •Response at Screening to the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) Question 1 ("How soon after you wake up do you smoke your first cigarette?") is either "Within 5 minutes" or "6-30 minutes" (Heatherton et al., 1991) OR response at Screening to "How soon after you wake up do you place your first dip?" is either "Within 5 minutes" or "6-30 minutes" from the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependance-Smokeless Tobacco (FTND-ST) (Ebbert et al., 2006).
- •Positive urine cotinine test (i.e., ≥200 ng/mL) at Screening and at Check-in Day
- •Willing to use Study IPs, their UB cigarette and UB moist snuff (Product S) during the study period.
- •Willing to abstain from tobacco and nicotine use for at least 12 hours prior to the start of each of six Test Sessions.
- •Females must be willing to use a form of contraception acceptable to an investigator from the time of signing the ICF until End-of-Study.

- •vasectomized partner; or
- •post-menopausal and not on hormone replacement therapy.
