Study to Evaluate Changes in Smokers Using on!® Nicotine Pouches

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tobacco Use

In brief

The purpose of this study is to generate evidence regarding the extent of reduction in exposure to selected HPHCs in adult smokers switching to on!® NPs. The study intends to determine changes in exposure to selected HPHCs by measuring biomarkers in adult smokers who completely switch from smoking to use of on!® NP compared to those who continue smoking cigarettes or stop using all tobacco products.

• Female subjects who are heterosexually active and of childbearing potential (eg, neither surgically sterile at least 6 months prior to check-in nor postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to check-in with follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] levels consistent with postmenopausal status) must have been using one of the following forms of contraception for the time period indicated and agree to continue using it through completion of the study:
• Hormonal (eg, oral, vaginal ring, transdermal patch, implant, injection) consistently for at least 3 months prior to check-in, double barrier (ie, condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide) consistently for at least 4 weeks prior to check-in, an intrauterine device for at least 4 months prior to check-in
• Exclusive partner who has been vasectomized for at least 6 months (inclusive) prior to check-in
• Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not currently engaging in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use one of the above methods of birth control through completion of study, in the event that they have heterosexual intercourse during the course of the study.
• Female subjects who are of nonchildbearing potential must have undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to check-in:
• Hysteroscopic sterilization (including Essure® or similar nonsurgical sterilization procedures); bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy; hysterectomy; bilateral oophorectomy
• Or be postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to check-in and have FSH levels consistent with postmenopausal status
• Willing to comply with the requirements of the study
• Willing to use all 3 on!® NP after the Product Trial at check-in
• Willing and able to abstain from cigarettes from Day 1 through the end of the study (EOS)
