About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study to Characterize Biomarkers of Tobacco Exposure and Nicotine Uptake From JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) in Adult Smokers
The JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) is being studied as an alternative to combustible cigarette use. This study aims to find out how much nicotine is in the blood and urine of healthy adult subjects after using three JUUL 5% ENDS compared to smoking usual brands of combustible cigarettes and stopping smoking.
Read the detailed description
This study will serve as a clinical evaluation of the exclusive use of selected JUUL ENDS, with the purpose of gaining an understanding of toxicant exposure.
- Being tested

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Treatment with JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, Treatment with JUUL 5%, Cool Mint, ENDS and Treatment with JUUL 5%, Mango, ENDS in people with Nicotine Dependence, Other Tobacco Product and Tobacco Use, run by Juul Labs, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in primary biomarkers day 5 values for each JUUL 5% product will be compared to baseline: (time frame: [Time Frame: 5 days]). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03463837, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2021.
