CSD190203: A Study to Determine Subject Puffing Patterns of an Electronic Nicotine Delivery System in an Ambulatory Setting

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Smoking, Smoking Behaviors, Tobacco Use, Tobacco Smoking

In brief

This study will be a single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel 2-cohort study to evaluate the puffing patterns of individuals switching from a similar usual brand (UB) Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) product to either a 2.4% or 5% nicotine level ENDS product in healthy adult ENDS users. This study will be conducted for potential submission to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) as part of a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) for an Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), comprised of an electrical power unit and four flavor variants each with two different levels of nicotine (2.4% and 5.0%).

Brief periods of abstinence due to illness, quit attempt (prior to 30 days of Screening), or clinical study participation (prior to 30 days of Screening) will be allowed at the discretion of the Principal Investigator (PI).
Primary flavor preference (75% use per week, self-reported) must be either Tobacco, Mint/Menthol, or a Fruit/Berry flavor and listed in the acceptable UB product guide.
Females must be willing to use a form of contraception acceptable to the PI from the time of signing the ICF until the end of the study.

You may not qualify if…

Presence of clinically significant uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, hematological, neurological disease, or any other concurrent disease or medical condition that, in the opinion of the PI, makes the study participant unsuitable to participate in this clinical study.
History or presence of diabetes.
Systolic blood pressure of > 160 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure of > 95 mmHg, measured after being seated for five minutes, with exceptions at the PI's discretion.

Participation in another clinical trial within (≤) 30 days prior to signing the ICF. The 30-day window for each subject will be derived from the date of the last study event in the previous study to the time of signing the ICF in the current study.
Females who have a positive pregnancy test, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or intend to become pregnant during the course of the study.
