Addictions do not occur in isolation. Tackling addictions requires addressing social determinants such as isolation, homelessness, marginalization, and unemployment. Research on individuals living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS highlights that unemployment correlates with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and social isolation compared to employment. In Ottawa, the PROMPT project engaged homeless or at-risk populations, including people who use drugs and those living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis C using the Bridge ModelTM, a pragmatic community-based participatory action research approach operationalized through earlier projects at the Bridge Engagement Center in Ottawa, Canada. The PROMPT project demonstrated that implementing multi-component, complex interventions is both feasible and effective, achieving broader socio-economic outcomes beyond reduction and quitting tobacco and poly-substance use. However, PROMPT participants identified a lack of social and recovery capital -family and social connections, opportunities for volunteering and jobs- as a major barrier to recovery. To address this, we conducted a six-month feasibility pilot study with 20 PROMPT participants. By its conclusion, 15 participants were engaged in small paid or volunteer roles, including educational opportunities, fostering both social integration and recovery. Insights from this pilot study informed the design of a larger community-based multi-site pragmatic randomized trial (RCT) to further evaluate the effectiveness of the Bridge ModelTM, the Healthy People Initiative (HPI) project. The Healthy People Initiative (HPI) is a community-based, participatory, pragmatic parallel-arm multi-site with a cross-over design, recruiting 250 participants (16+) at risk of homelessness or low socioeconomic status in Ottawa and Toronto, Canada.

The study will recruit an anticipated 256 adults who currently smoke cigarettes and report a willingness to try switching to alternative, non-combustible products. Participants will be randomized to receive either e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches for a duration of 4 weeks and to 1 of 4 possible regulatory scenarios within products where flavor availability is either menthol and tobacco/unflavored available or tobacco/unflavored only available, and nicotine concentration is either higher (5% e-cig, 6mg pouch) or lower (2.4% e-cig, 3mg pouch). Participants will return for bi-weekly research visits (in person or remote videocall) to complete measures for study aims. Participants will complete a final follow-up at Week 6 to assess maintenance of cigarette reduction and willingness to continue using products once they are no longer provided. The investigators expect to observe which products and constituents lead to greater smoking reduction.

Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the US. Use of multiple tobacco products is becoming increasingly prevalent, with dual use of e-cigarettes and cigarettes representing the most common combination. Though e-cigarettes are not without risk, completely switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes likely reduces risk for tobacco-related harm. However, many established dual users maintain long-term smoking and the majority who use e-cigarettes non-daily are at an even greater risk for prolonged smoking than exclusive cigarette smokers. The Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products (FDA CTP) has announced plans to implement a nicotine-limiting product standard, capping the nicotine in cigarettes at a minimally or non-addictive level. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate that adults who exclusively smoke cigarettes respond to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes with reductions in smoking, demand, and dependence. However, nicotine reduction RCTs to date have excluded people who regularly use e-cigarettes and therefore it remains unclear how a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes would affect smoking among dual users. Given the potential substitutability of e-cigarettes for cigarettes, reducing the nicotine in cigarettes could promote a transition to exclusive e-cigarette use among dual users unable to completely quit nicotine, but only if sufficiently appealing e-cigarettes remain available. E-cigarettes containing 5% nicotine-salt solution are currently most popular in the US, but policy makers have proposed restricting e-cigarettes to ≤ 2% nicotine to curb youth e-cigarette use, and several states have already set limits to reduce nicotine in e-cigarettes. Prior laboratory studies indicate that higher vs lower nicotine e-cigarettes serve as better substitutes for cigarettes among adult dual users. As such, a restriction on e-cigarette nicotine concentration could undermine the potential for e-cigarettes to substitute for cigarettes and diminish the benefits of a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes among dual users. This study is a 12-week double-blind 2 cigarette level (Normal Nicotine vs Very Low Nicotine) x 2 e-cigarette level (High Nicotine vs Low Nicotine) between-subjects factorial trial to investigate how a nicotine-limiting standard for cigarettes affects adult dual users and whether these effects are impacted by constraints on e-cigarette nicotine concentration. Outcome measures include cigarettes per day, cigarette dependence, and toxicant exposure. The research is highly relevant to FDA CTP domains of Addiction and Behavior because it will test whether reducing the nicotine content of cigarettes reduces smoking and dependence, and whether these effects are moderated by the availability of high vs low nicotine e-cigarettes.

Background: The goal of this study is to address parental smoking and social adversity, which can present an obstacle for smoking cessation, in order to decrease childhood exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke. To address these factors, this study includes a smoking cessation intervention for parents and legal guardians recruited in pediatric clinics (CanCEASE), as well as the support of a Health Navigator (HN) to work with the participant towards the resolution or mitigation of unmet social needs. Participants: The research team will recruit one thousand participants from pediatric outpatient clinics within two healthcare centres in and around the city of Montreal, Canada, over the course of 2.5 years. Eligible persons are parents and legal guardians, of any sex and gender, accompanying children under 18 to their scheduled medical appointments, and who report at least one social risk in selected areas (i.e., employment, housing stability, ability to pay for utilities, financial resource strain, food security, transportation, childcare, parent education and health literacy). Participants must also be 18 years old or older with sufficient proficiency in French or English to complete the interviews and questionnaires. In households in which both parents smoke, only one will be eligible to participate, but smoking cessation information will be offered to both. Families presenting at the clinic for an urgent medical issue are not eligible to participate. Intervention: Participants will be divided into control group (care as usual with CanCEASE at the end of the study period) and intervention (CanCEASE + Health navigator). All participants will complete questionnaires at Baseline, 6 and 12 months. The intervention group will receive CanCEASE at the end of each questionnaire. Controls will receive CanCEASE at 12 months. The intervention group will have the possibility to meet with the HNs and will be invited to commit to at least two sessions (i.e.: evaluation and a follow up), with the option to book more time as needed. Aims and hypotheses: Examining how effective the combination of CanCEASE with HN support is in helping parents with unmet social needs quit smoking. Investigators will also examine the effects of the intervention on status of unmet social needs, if the intervention was implemented as planned and well accepted by clinics and participants, and what is the cost of the intervention for each person who quits smoking.

The overall objective of this project is to develop and obtain preliminary data on acceptability, feasibility, and initial efficacy of Native PATHS. This work is guided by the stage model guidelines for treatment development and adaptation 25. Stage 1a will occur in two sequential steps. First, the investigators will recruit youth who are in 5th - 8th grade and their family members (N=24, 12 youth, 12 adults 18+) to participate in three talking circle sessions to obtain feedback on the cultural adaptation and implementation of the treatment. Next, the investigators will conduct an open label pilot (N=9). Youth and their family members, (up to 3 per youth) will provide qualitative and quantitative feedback after each session. In Stage 1b, 60 youth will participate in a pilot randomized controlled trial, testing the efficacy of the newly created program (n=30) against a wait list control (WLC) condition (n=30). Ultimately, this program of research is expected to result in a well-specified, efficacious prevention program that could be readily disseminated and generalizable to other Indigenous populations with minimal adaptation.

The long-term goal of FRESH Delivers is to fill a critical gap in knowledge on the role of a home-based food delivery social intervention in the elimination of tobacco-caused cancer health burdens. The central hypothesis is that smokers who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling and home-based food deliveries will have greater cotinine-verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence than those who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling alone or home food delivery alone. The rationale for this approach is that studies show increased odds of smoking cessation with increasing food security.

Relighting Cigarettes for Smoking

Minneapolis, Minnesota
Characterize effects of relighting on smoke toxicant deliveries and subjective smoking measures. This will be a within-subject comparison in a single experimental group of 30 smokers who report engaging in relighting behaviors. We will assess smoking intensity for relit and non-relit (i.e., smoked continuously without relighting) cigarettes in the natural environment and will conduct in-clinic measurements of smoking topography and subjective responses for relit and non-relit cigarettes. Information on relighting patterns and smoking topography collected from each participant will be used to compare machine-measured smoke yields of key harmful constituents when their usual cigarettes are smoked with and without relighting. Hypothesis: Relit cigarettes will produce higher levels of toxicants than non-relit cigarettes.

Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and there are persistent and significant disparities in tobacco use among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. Stigma, discrimination, gender dysphoria, and other gender minority stressors likely contribute to these disparities, and the increased burden of gender minority stress may also be driving higher prevalence rates of anxiety and depression, both of which are more common among TGD individuals and among those who smoke relative to comparison samples. This study will (1) explore the ways in which gender minority stressors and associated anxiety and depression compromise smoking cessation among TGD individuals, identifying elements in an existing smoking cessation intervention that need to be adjusted to meet their unique needs; (2) adapt an existing smoking cessation intervention for TGD individuals; and (3) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention in a pilot randomized controlled trial.

E-Cigarettes for Smoking

Boston, Massachusetts
This study investigates the feasibility, acceptability, and short-term effects of providing 4 weeks of complimentary electronic cigarettes (ECs) to 30 individuals who did not quit after smoking cessation treatment provided in the context of lung cancer screening and do not plan to quit smoking. This open-label single-arm pilot clinical trial will test the impact of EC provision on: 1) study feasibility, 2) EC acceptability, 3) tobacco use behavior (e.g., cigarettes per day, EC use), and 4) biomarkers (e.g., carbon monoxide, cotinine, and anabasine). Participants will be asked to switch from combustible cigarettes to the NJOY ACE 5% nicotine electronic cigarette (EC) for 4 weeks. They will be followed an additional 4 weeks after EC provision ends (to 8 weeks). The first study hypothesis is that more than 40% of eligible smokers who are offered participation in the trial will enroll, and that 75% of enrollees will complete the trial. The second study hypothesis is that participants will report fewer cigarettes smoked per day at the end of 4 weeks of EC provision, relative to their baseline values.

Smokers living with HIV represent a major health disparity population in the United States and the world more generally. Major contributing factors to the maintenance and relapse of smoking among smokers living with HIV include increased exposure to multiple stressors associated with HIV, which often exacerbates anxiety/depression. In a previous project, the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a 9-session, cognitive-behavioral-based intervention to address smoking cessation by reducing anxiety and depression via specific emotional vulnerabilities (anxiety sensitivity, distress tolerance, and anhedonia) was tested against an enhanced standard of care in a pilot randomized controlled trial (NCT01393301). It was found that when compared to a brief enhanced treatment as usual control, patients in the intervention achieved higher short-term and long-term smoking abstinence rates. In this project, the investigators seek to test this same intervention in a fully powered, 3-arm efficacy/effectiveness trial. The goal of this study is to randomize 180 smokers across three sites to test the efficacy/effectiveness of the intervention at increasing point prevalence abstinence by reducing anxiety and depression at a 1-month follow-up (the end of treatment timepoint/ approximately 1-month post quit day) and a 6-month follow-up (approximately 6-months post quit day).

This clinical trial studies widefield fluorescence and reflectance imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, and tissue samples in regularly examining (monitoring) participants at risk for developing oral cancer. All tissue and cells are made of tiny particles. Some of these particles give off small amounts of light. This light is called fluorescence. Fluorescent imaging use instruments that shine different wavelengths (colors) of light in the mouth taking fluorescence pictures through a portable head light or by taking fluorescent and reflectance pictures through a dental microscope using a digital camera. Fluorescent spectroscopy uses a small probe placed gently against the lining of the mouth and the tissue is exposed to small amounts of fluorescent light that is then collected with a special camera and a computer to be analyzed. Checking mouth tissue samples under a microscope may also help detect abnormal cells. Diagnostic procedures, such as fluorescence and reflectance imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy imaging, and tissue samples, may help doctors detect pre-cancer or early cancer when it may be easier to treat.

The goal of this pragmatic, multilevel Type III Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation trial is to increase the reach of existing evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for tobacco cessation and to mitigate the impact of adverse Social Drivers of Health (SDOH) among safety-net healthcare system patients who live in persistent poverty (PP) census tracts. Aim 1: Test the ability of patient-level Conversational Agents (CA) \& Patient Navigation (PN) dissemination strategies to increase the Reach (primary outcome) of evidence-based tobacco cessation treatment delivered via the Utah Tobacco and Nicotine Quit Services (Quit Services) among Community Health Center (CHC) patients who use tobacco and live in persistent poverty census tracts. Secondary analyses will examine the outcome of Reach of services for SDOH among these patients and will evaluate both 1) patient-level CA and PN dissemination strategies and 2) a clinic-level implementation strategy using a pre-post design. Aim 2: Explore contextual factors (e.g., clinic size, patient composition, rurality, patient demographics) related to the Reach, Adoption, Implementation, and potential Maintenance of strategies. Aim 3: Determine the cost-effectiveness of clinic and patient-level strategies based on Quit Services enrollment and service receipt for SDOH. This trial implements a clinic-level implementation strategy, Ask-Advise-Connect (AAC), to address tobacco cessation and needs around social drivers of health for patients in all participating clinics. Eligible patients who are not enrolled in Quit Services four weeks after the clinical encounter, will receive text messages from a chatbot offering information and connections to the Quit Services and patient navigation support from a Community Health Worker.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Tobacco Use Disorder clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Tobacco Use Disorder clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Tobacco Use Disorder trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Tobacco Use Disorder is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Tobacco Use Disorder medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Tobacco Use Disorder clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Varenicline for Smoking, AI-Enhanced App for Nicotine Addiction and ACT on Vaping App for Nicotine Addiction to the Power online platform.
