About this study

Official title: Benefit of a Systematic Proposition of Nicotine Replacement Therapy Preoperatively for Patients Undergoing Planned Surgery and With Tobacco or Cannabis Addiction, Regardless of the Intention to Quit

Smoking is associated with a higher rate of surgical complications. For example, in orthopedics, the risk of complications is 31% in smokers against 5% in non-smokers. The management of this addiction is recommended and particularly interesting in scheduled surgery, because it allows smoking cessation well before the procedure. However, for patients who cannot consider this smoking cessation, the mere information of the risk cannot be sufficient and a real strategy must be constructed and evaluated.

Currently, studies results indicate that a patient reducing the number of smoked cigarettes will unconsciously modify their smoking behaviour to obtain the usual nicotine level, this effect is called self-titration. Conversely, nicotine replacement while continuing consumption could induce an improvement in smoking behaviour, therefore less intoxication which would be beneficial in terms of reduction of post-operative complications. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a systematic proposition of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in regular smokers. Tobacco addiction specialists have demonstrated that intoxication and dependence are well correlated with the exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) level, so this measurement will be used in addition to the patient's interview.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NRT proposition and exhaled CO measurementOther

    Nicotine replacement therapy is proposed to every patient included in the study.

    Whether the patient accepts the therapy or not, exhaled carbon monoxide is measured at the preoperative consultation (about 15 days before surgery) and the day of surgery by a nurse. These two measures are compared to assess efficacy of nicotine replacement therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of a systematic proposition of nicotine replacement therapy, regardless of the intention to quit Change in exhaled carbon monoxide level between the two measurements, assessed by a carbon monoxide breath monitor

    Measured: At inclusion, and before surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of patients who refuse nicotine replacement therapy

    Measured: At inclusion

  2. Effect of nicotine replacement therapy on the type of analgesics administrated

    Measured: At inclusion, before surgery, and 2 days after surgery

  3. Effect of nicotine replacement therapy on the duration of analgesics administrated

    Measured: At inclusion, before surgery, and 2 days after surgery

  4. Effect of nicotine replacement therapy on the dose of analgesics administrated

    Measured: At inclusion, before surgery, and 2 days after surgery

  5. Number of smoking cessations

    Measured: 2 days after surgery

  6. Efficacy of a systematic proposition of nicotine replacement therapy, depending on the intention to quit Change in exhaled carbon monoxide level between the two measurements, assessed by a carbon monoxide breath monitor

    Subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint according to predefined groups

    Measured: At inclusion, and before surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NRT proposition and exhaled CO measurement in people with Smoking Cessation, run by Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2023. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment goal not feasible). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Efficacy of a systematic proposition of nicotine replacement therapy, regardless of the intention to quit Change in exhaled carbon monoxide level between the two measurements, assessed by a carbon monoxide breath monitor (time frame: At inclusion, and before surgery). 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 16 Feb 2023.
