简要总结
The purpose of this research program is to understand how a biomarker called the "nicotine metabolite ratio" (also referred to as NMR) may influence a smoker's ability to quit smoking.
详细描述
Smoking is an enormous public health problem with a great need for research to improve treatment outcomes. Our prior data indicates that the cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) enzyme is critical in the metabolic inactivation of nicotine, and also influences smoking behavior and response to therapies. With a vision toward translation of our research to practice, we have characterized a genetically-informed biomarker of CYP2A6 activity, specifically the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR; 3'hydroxycotinine/cotinine), which reflects both CYP2A6 genetic variation and environmental influences on CYP2A6 activity. The NMR is measured non-invasively in smokers with established reliability, stability, analytic validity, and efficacy as a predictor of the ability to quit smoking and treatment response in multiple retrospective trials. Translation of these findings to clinical practice requires validation in a prospective clinical trial comparing alternative therapies for smoking cessation. Thus, the proposed trial is a prospective, stratified, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial of alternative therapies for smoking cessation treatment in approximately 1,200 smokers. Randomization to placebo (PLA), transdermal nicotine (TN), or varenicline (VAR) will be stratified prospectively based on the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR). Abstinence from smoking at the end of treatment will be the primary outcome. Quit rate at 6-month follow-up is a secondary outcome. To facilitate translation to practice, analysis of the cost-effectiveness of our proposed approach will also be completed. The proposed research provides the next critical step to validate a genetically-informed diagnostic tool, the NMR, which clinicians can use in the future to optimize treatment decisions for their patients who wish to quit smoking.

If a subject reports an isolated (non-daily) instance of using a non-study smoking cessation medication, the study physician and PI will evaluate the situation and determine if it is safe for the subject to continue participation.

结局指标
主要结局
7-day Point Prevalence Quit Rate at End-of-Treatment (EOT)
时间窗: Week 11
The percentage of ITT subjects who were verified as abstinent. Abstinence was defined as no self-reported smoking (not even a puff) for at least 7 days before the telephone assessment, with in-person verification for those self-reporting abstinence. In-person verification consisted of breath carbon monoxide analysis, with a reading of 8 parts-per-million or less confirming abstinence. Subjects who were lost to follow-up were considered smokers.
