Study summary

This is a multi-site, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the rate of smoking abstinence by the end of the study with healthy adult consumers of cigarettes when provided with an e-cigarette over a 13 week study period.

Read the detailed description

This will be a multi-site, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the rate of end of study (EOS) smoking abstinence of healthy adult consumers of combustible cigarettes (CC) when provided an electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) with a choice of multiple tobacco flavors over a 13-week study period. Outcomes from this study will be compared with those from a single tobacco-flavor comparator arm from an earlier conducted randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a similar design.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Impact of varying levels of access to tobacco flavor options

    To evaluate the impact of varying levels of access to Vuse ENDS tobacco flavor options on the rate of final 7-day abstinence from smoking CC among U.S. adult smokers at the end of a 13-week intervention period. The rate of final 7-day abstinence among participants with access to multiple tobacco flavor options in this study will be compared to the rate of final 7-day abstinence in the single tobacco flavor comparator arm in an RCT conducted earlier.

    Time frame: 13 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complete Switching

    Analyses of complete switching (defined as being abstinent from smoking CCs as well as being an adopted user of the Study IP) between participants in this study with access to multiple tobacco flavors and the single tobacco flavor comparator arm from a RCT conducted earlier, as well as between preferred flavor groups

    Time frame: 13 weeks

  2. Abstinence Between Flavor Groups

    Additional analyses will evaluate abstinence between preferred flavor groups; time to first 7-day abstinence between this study and the single tobacco flavor comparator arm from the prior study, and between preferred flavor groups within this study; reductions in CPD from baseline to end of study; and ≥50% CPD reductions between this study and the single tobacco flavor comparator arm in an RCT conducted earlier.

    Time frame: 13 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. Topography

    Puffing topography, quit attempts, descriptives of Study IP liking, intent to substitute CCs with Study IP, and intent to purchase will be summarized numerically.

    Time frame: 13 Weeks

  2. Demographics

    Demographic characteristics of the study population will be tabulated and summarized numerically.

    Time frame: 13 Weeks

  3. AEs

    The study will monitor any adverse events/experiences among participants using the Study IP.

    Time frame: 13 Weeks

2 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2027, 6 months after the start.

Of 155 interventional studies with no phase under Smoking, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 59. This study's planned 6 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
