About this study

Official title: Acute Impact of Switching From Tobacco Cigarettes to E-Cigarettes in People Living With HIV

Randomized controlled trial of acute use of electronic cigarette or tobacco cigarette on parameters of ventricular repolarization and inflammation/oxidative stress.

Read the detailed description

On separate days, participants will undergo 3 different exposures: an acute e-cigarette exposure, an acute tobacco cigarette exposure, and a sham (empty e-cigarette) control . Before and after the acute exposure, participants will have blood drawn for inflammation/oxidative stress markers and undergo a 5-minute ECG recording.

Being tested
TCIG, ECIG, sham control
Medical subject headings
Vaping, Smoking, Tobacco Smoking, Tobacco Use Disorder, Inflammation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tpe

    interval indicative of ventricular repolarization measured on ECG

    Measured: Change in Tpe 5 minutes after cigarette use

  2. Tpe/QT

    interval indicative of ventricular repolarization measured on ECG

    Measured: Change in Tpe/QT after cigarette use

  3. Tpe/QTc

    interval indicative of ventricular repolarization measured on ECG

    Measured: Change in Tpe/QTc after cigarette use

  4. Total Cellular Reactive Oxygen Stress

    total cellular oxidative stress measured by flow cytometry

    Measured: within 4 hours of cigarette use

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. QT

    interval indicative of ventricular repolarization measured on ECG

    Measured: Change in QT after cigarette use

  2. QTc

    interval indicative of ventricular repolarization measured on ECG

    Measured: Change in QTc after cigarette use

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TCIG and ECIG in people with E Cigarette Use and Vaping, run by University of California, Los Angeles at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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?

Tpe (time frame: Change in Tpe 5 minutes after cigarette use). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Oct 2023.
