Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Uptake of nicotine from the HNB 2.1 product as measured using plasma nicotine concentrations obtained from blood samples taken at 2, 3 ,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes following use of the HNB 1.2 product.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Nicotine pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g. maximum nicotine concentration (Cmax) and time to Cmax (tmax)) measured using plasma nicotine concentrations obtained from blood samples taken at 2, 3 ,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes following use of the HNB 1.2 product 2. Volunteer mouth level exposure (MLE) to nicotine during use of the HNB 2.1 product, as measured by the difference in weight of HNB 2.1 product + its associated pod insert before and after product use 3. Volunteer mouth level exposure (MLE) to nicotine during use of the CC1 product, as measured by assessing the amount of nicotine present in the product filter after product use 4. Volunteer inhalation to non-inhalation ratios during use of the HNB 2.1 product as measured by vidual analogue scare (VAS) questionnaire following use of the HNB 1.2 product
