Study Summary

This trial is testing whether using a person's genetic profile to guide smoking cessation treatment (nicotine replacement therapy) may help them quit smoking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with coronary artery disease undergoing cardiac catheterization or who have had a heart attack, and are active smokers. They must be able to consent, not incarcerated, stable post-heart attack without life-threatening complications, and women of child-bearing age should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if nicotine patches and genotype-guided therapy can help patients quit smoking more effectively than standard treatments. Patients' genetic profiles determine their treatment plan in this randomized study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Nicotine patch use may cause skin irritation, dizziness, racing heartbeat, sleep problems or unusual dreams. Counseling has no physical side effects but discussing smoking cessation can sometimes cause emotional discomfort.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Genotype-guided (GG homozygotes)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
CHRNA5 rs16969968 genotype will be determined. Genotype-guided therapy will be given (GG homozygotes will be given smoking cessation counseling)
Group II: Genotype-guided (A allele carriers)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
CHRNA5 rs16969968 genotype will be determined. Genotype-guided therapy will be given (A allele carriers will be given pharmacologic therapy (nicotine replacement therapy --NRT; nicotine patch used according to FDA labelling).)
Group III: Standard (non-genotype guided) - NRTActive Control1 Intervention
1/2 of patients in this arm will be given nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; nicotine patch used according to FDA labeling) but this will NOT be based on the patient's genotype. Note that both nicotine replacement therapy and counseling are accepted treatments for smoking cessation in patients with coronary artery disease.
Group IV: Standard (non-genotype guided)- counselingActive Control1 Intervention
1/2 of patients in this arm will be given smoking cessation counseling but this will NOT be based on the patient's genotype. Note that both nicotine replacement therapy and counseling are accepted treatments for smoking cessation in patients with coronary artery disease.
