Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial of Varenicline for Cessation of Nicotine Vaping in Adolescent Non-smokers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study will test the hypothesis that varenicline, when added to behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation, will improve vaping abstinence rates in adolescents dependent on vaped nicotine over placebo plus behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation. Approximately 225 adolescents will be randomly assigned to one of three arms (1) varenicline up to 1 mg bid for 12 weeks plus behavioral and texting support for vaping cessation (V+BC), (2) identical appearing placebo plus behavioral and texting support (P+BC) and (3) enhanced usual care (EUC). The primary comparison will be the double-blind, placebo-controlled comparison of vaping cessation rates in those assigned to varenicline vs placebo.
