Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Continuous Smoking Abstinence From Week 2 to Week 6
Week 2 to Week 6

Percentage of participants with carbon monoxide (CO)-verified self-report of continuous abstinence from smoking

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration
within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma within the last dosing interval, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

Average Concentration
within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Average Nicotine Plasma Concentration (Cav) within the last dosing interval

Area Under the Curve
within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Area under the nicotine plasma concentration-vs.-time curve during the last dosing interval (AUCt)

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
During last dosing interval 11-12 hours post-dose

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma after a dose is administered, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

Average Concentration (Cav)
During last dosing interval 11-12 hours post-dose

The average concentration of nicotine in the blood. \* The dosing interval (τ) in this study will be one (1) hour. Consequently, Cav will have the same value as AUCτ (but with a different unit), since Cav is calculated as AUCτ divided by τ. Therefore Cav will not be displayed in results, only AUCτ.

Bioavailability [AUCτ]
During last dosing interval 11-12 hours post-dose

AUCτ is the area under the plasma concentration-vs.-time curve during the last dosing interval and is a measure of how much of the drug reaches the person's bloodstream. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) is calculated by plotting the drug's blood levels on a graph at different times during the set period. The area under this curve is calculated as hour \* nanograms (ng) per milliliter (mL).

Frequently asked questions about Nicotine

What is Nicotine used for?

Nicotine is used for tobacco dependence and smoking cessation. It is a small molecule being developed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) as a nicotine replacement therapy. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for these indications.

Who makes Nicotine?

Johnson & Johnson (ticker: JNJ) is developing Nicotine for tobacco dependence and smoking cessation. The drug is a small molecule currently in Phase 3 clinical trials.

What phase is Nicotine in?

Nicotine is in Phase 3 clinical development for tobacco dependence and smoking cessation. It is an investigational drug and not yet approved by the FDA. All completed trials include Phase 1 and Phase 3 studies.

What clinical trials is Nicotine in?

Nicotine has completed five clinical trials, including NCT00966901, NCT01321931, NCT01478230, and NCT02355665. The Phase 3 trial NCT02355665 enrolled 1,198 participants in the United States to evaluate efficacy and safety of a novel nicotine replacement therapy.

Is Nicotine the same as nicotine replacement therapy?

Nicotine is a nicotine replacement therapy product being developed by Johnson & Johnson. It is intended to help people quit smoking by replacing nicotine from cigarettes. The drug is in Phase 3 trials for tobacco dependence.
