SBP-9330 for Smoking Cessation
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called SBP-9330 to observe its behavior in healthy individuals, both smokers and nonsmokers. The main goal is to understand how the body processes different doses and the effects of food on the treatment's absorption. Participants will receive either the treatment or a placebo (a substance with no active drug) for comparison. This trial suits healthy individuals who are nonsmokers or current smokers who smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day and are not trying to quit. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires participants to stop taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications, including health supplements and herbal remedies, at least 7 days before the study starts, except for hormonal contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and acetaminophen.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about SBP-9330 because it introduces a novel approach to managing conditions that may involve inflammation or other pathways typically targeted by traditional treatments. Unlike many current treatments which rely on well-known mechanisms, SBP-9330 works by targeting a new pathway, potentially offering benefits like improved efficacy or fewer side effects. Additionally, the study is exploring various dosages and conditions, such as effects in smokers versus nonsmokers, which could lead to more personalized treatment options in the future. This innovative approach has the potential to fill gaps left by existing therapies and improve patient outcomes.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective?
Research has shown that SBP-9330 might help treat nicotine addiction. In studies with rats, the drug quickly and effectively reduced nicotine addiction and helped prevent relapse. Early tests in humans, including this trial, have demonstrated that SBP-9330 is safe and well tolerated, with no serious side effects. Participants in this trial will receive SBP-9330 in various dosages or a placebo. Studies also found that SBP-9330 reduced the amount of nicotine animals consumed, suggesting it could help people cut down or quit smoking.23678
