Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
STUDY 1: INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to help people stop smoking by using very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes. This developmental pilot study (n=20) will determine the feasibility of the treatment approach and methodology using a targeted intervention, and lead to refinements for a subsequent randomized controlled trial (RCT). STUDY 2: RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL The purpose of this study is to see if a targeted intervention will help people to stop or reduce smoking better than a standard intervention using very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes, and to determine the optimal nicotine tapering schedule (gradual vs. immediate) during a 5-week pre-quit period. About 208 participants will take part in this phase of the study at Moffitt Cancer Center.
