Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral administration of three new nicotine lozenge formulations (V0474) in comparison with two reference products. The clinical and biological safety of V0474 and the lozenge acceptability will also be assessed.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral nicotine lozenge administration in healthy smokers12 time points up to 6h after oral administrationPharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral nicotine lozenge administration in healthy smokers by measuring Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax), Time of Maximum Concentration (Tmax) , Area under the nicotine plasma concentration curve (AUC0-t), for each test and reference formulations

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical safety (reported adverse events)Screening up to Day 5Safety by evaluating the number of subjects with emergent adverse events and changes from baseline to end of study in vital signs, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory parameters.
Acceptability questionnaireUp to complete lozenge dissolution, about 30 minutes (4 times)Quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis of the scores reported by treatment and assessment time
