Frequently asked questions about Nicotine gum

What is nicotine gum used for?

Nicotine gum is being studied for tobacco use, with 22nd Century Group developing it as part of its very low nicotine product portfolio. The two completed Phase 1 trials evaluated abuse liability in adult smokers, including a mentholated version, rather than testing the gum as a smoking cessation aid.

Who makes nicotine gum?

22nd Century Group, Inc., which trades under the ticker XXII, is the developer of this nicotine gum asset. The company is known for plant biotechnology and reduced-nicotine tobacco products, and this program sits within its tobacco use research pipeline.

What phase is nicotine gum in?

Nicotine gum is in Phase 1 clinical development. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, and no active trials are currently listed. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA for tobacco use or any other indication.

What clinical trials is nicotine gum in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials are registered: NCT03559751, which evaluated abuse liability of very low nicotine cigarettes in 66 participants, and NCT03559725, which evaluated abuse liability of very low nicotine mentholated cigarettes in 55 participants. Both were conducted in the United States.

Is nicotine gum the same as nicotine gum (C)?

Yes, nicotine gum (C) is an alternative name for nicotine gum. Both refer to the same 22nd Century Group product candidate being studied in tobacco use, so searches using either name point to the same Phase 1 program.
