简要总结
Research Aims
The aims of this research study are:
- To determine which of the following three smoking cessation medications is most effective in achieving cessation:
- Nicotine Patch
- Nicotine Patch + gum or inhaler
- Varenicline (Champix;
- To investigate how often participants experience neuropsychiatric symptoms over the course of their cessation attempt and to assess whether:
- They occur more often when taking one medication versus another
- They occur more often in those with or without psychiatric illnesses.
Hypotheses to be Tested
The hypotheses to be tested include the following:
- The CO-confirmed continuous abstinence rate from 5 weeks to 52 weeks following a target quit date will be significantly higher in smokers receiving long-term transdermal NRT in combination with other NRT products or those receiving varenicline compared to those receiving transdermal NRT alone.
- Some participants will experience neuropsychiatric symptoms during their cessation attempt, and those in the varenicline group will experience a greater incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms than those in the groups receiving transdermal NRT alone or in combination with other NRT products. Patients with psychiatric illnesses will report higher levels of withdrawal symptoms than those without psychiatric illnesses.
详细描述
Participants will be recruited from the UOHI Smoking Cessation Clinic and via media advertisements. Following the baseline assessment, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:
- 10-week standard regimen of transdermal NRT (NRT);
- Long duration of transdermal NRT in combination with other NRT products (NRT+); or
- Varenicline (VR).
Participants assigned to the "NRT" standard regimen group will follow a 10-week treatment of nicotine patches alone.
Participants assigned to the "NRT+" long-duration group will follow the same regimen as the NRT group, but will not be limited to a fixed declining dose strategy, nor limited to a 10-week duration (potential maximum dosage of 35mg/day and maximum treatment duration of up to 22 weeks). Participants will also be provided with other NRT products (i.e., gum or inhaler).
Participants assigned to the "VR" group will start the medication on the day of the baseline assessment and set a target quit date any time within the 8 to 14 day period after baseline. Participants will receive a 12-week supply of varenicline with a possible extension of up to 24 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome will be measured at 5, 10, 22, and 52 weeks after the target quit date and include: CO confirmed continuous abstinence from 5-10 weeks, 5-22 weeks and 5-52 weeks.
时间窗: 5-10 weeks, 5-22 weeks, and 5-52 weeks post target quit date
次要结局
