About this study
Official title: A Randomised, Cross-over, Relative Bioavailability Study of Nicotine Delivery and Nicotine Extraction From Oral Products (Traditional Snus, Conventional Cigarette and Three Oral Tobacco-free Nicotine Delivery Products)
This study is a randomised cross-over, open-label, confinement study conducted in 24 male or female snus and cigarette consumers. The study investigates 5 different nicotine containing products in a cross-over fashion. The study incorporates pharmacokinetics evaluation, nicotine extraction evaluation, subjective questionnaire assessments as well as safety evaluation.
During the study participation, subjects come for two visits to the clinic, including a 5-day confinement period.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Sweden. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Oct 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Nicotine Cmax (time frame: Pre-use and at 2, 5, 7, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes, and 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post use start). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04891406, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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.
