Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Areas under the linearly interpolated urges to smoke vs. time curve evaluated in a hierarchical order starting with the 5 minutes' evaluation (AUC5min, AUC3min, AUC1min)
from time zero following 5 hours of smoking abstinence (baseline), until 5 minutes, until 3 minutes, and until 1 minute, respectively
Cumulative Individual Irritation Scores after UVA and UVB exposure
15 or 30 min, and 24, 48, and 72 hr post-application, depending on trial phase.
Cumulative Irritation Score (CIS10)
@24 hours post- application for 21 days
Cumulative Individual Irritation Scores
15 or 30 min, and 24, 48, and 72 hr post-application, depending on trial phase

Secondary Endpoints

Areas under the linearly interpolated urges to smoke vs. time curve (AUC10min)
from time zero following 5 hours of smoking abstinence (baseline), until 10 minutes thereafter
Time to a 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% reduction from baseline intensity of urges to smoke score
from time zero following 5 hours of smoking abstinence (baseline), until 2 hours thereafter
Proportion of subjects reaching 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% reduction of urges to smoke
