Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): The primary study endpoints are the area under the urges to smoke-vs.-time curve (AUC) from start of administration until 5 minutes thereafter, AUC5min, the AUC from the start of administration until 3 minutes thereafter, AUC3min, and the AUC from the start of administration until 1 minute thereafter, AUC1min. ;Main Objective: The primary objectives of this study are: •to compare ONS (two sprays of 1 mg nicotine) and NiQuitin lozenge 2 mg after 5 hours of witnessed abstinence with respect to urges to smoke during the first 5 minutes after start of treatment., and •to compare ONS (two sprays of 1 mg nicotine) and NiQuitin lozenge 4 mg after 5 hours of witnessed abstinence with respect to urges to smoke during the first 5 minutes after start of treatment. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are: •to compare the study treatments with respect to the time to a 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of the baseline urges to smoke score, •to compare the proportion of subjects reaching 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction of the baseline urges to smoke within 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes for the study treatments, •to describe the urges to smoke profile of the study treatments during 2 hours after dose, •to evaluate acceptability of the study treatments, •to evaluate tolerability and safety of the study treatments.
