Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral administration of three new nicotine lozenge formulations (V0474) in comparison with two reference products. The clinical and biological safety of V0474 and the lozenge acceptability will also be assessed.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral nicotine lozenge administration in healthy smokers

    Pharmacokinetic profile of nicotine following a single oral nicotine lozenge administration in healthy smokers by measuring Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax), Time of Maximum Concentration (Tmax) , Area under the nicotine plasma concentration curve (AUC0-t), for each test and reference formulations

    Time frame: 12 time points up to 6h after oral administration

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical safety (reported adverse events)

    Safety by evaluating the number of subjects with emergent adverse events and changes from baseline to end of study in vital signs, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory parameters.

    Time frame: Screening up to Day 5

  2. Acceptability questionnaire

    Quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis of the scores reported by treatment and assessment time

    Time frame: Up to complete lozenge dissolution, about 30 minutes (4 times)
