Brief Summary

Multiple-dose nicotine pharmacokinetics with three oral nicotine replacement products. A study in healthy smokers.

Detailed Description

Fifty (50) healthy male or female subjects between the ages of 19 and 50 years, inclusive, smoking at least 20 cigarettes daily during at least one year preceding inclusion. Multiple doses of all study treatments are given either every 60 minutes or every 90 minutes, respectively. All products will be administered in accordance with labeling, on five separate treatment visits. The subjects will abstain from smoking from 8 pm in the evening before and until the end of each visit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentrationwithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma within the last dosing interval, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

Average Concentrationwithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Average Nicotine Plasma Concentration (Cav) within the last dosing interval

Area Under the Curvewithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Area under the nicotine plasma concentration-vs.-time curve during the last dosing interval (AUCt)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time of Maximum ConcentrationDuring 12 hours post-dose

The time at which maximum concentration is reached (Tmax)

Minimum Observed Concentrationwithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin), which is the minimum concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma within the last dosing interval, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

Peak-Trough Fluctuationwithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Percent of Peak-Trough Fluctuation in one dosing interval at steady state (PTF)

Swingwithin the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Swing in one dosing interval at steady state, calculated as (Cmax-Cmin)/ Cmin

Nicotine Released30 minutes
