NCT03059940

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to offer lung cancer screenings to smokers who want to change their smoking behaviors. All eligible participants will receive smoking cessation counseling and may be offered at least one form of smoking cessation drug. Different forms of counseling (the delivery of counseling and access to counseling) will be compared. This is an investigational study. Participants on this study will not be prescribed smoking drugs directly by the study staff. However, participants in this study may or may not receive smoking cessation drugs, depending on what the provider thinks is in the participants best interest. All smoking cessation drugs being used are FDA approved and commercially available. It is investigational to compare the different forms of counseling participants receive. Up to 1260 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Smoking Abstinence Rate

    Statistical power will focus on primary objective. Primary analyses use intention-to-treat (ITT) principles, with missing observations imputed as smoking.

    6 months

Study Arms (3)

Quitline (QL) Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Questionnaires completed at baseline and at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months after the CT scan. CO level measured at baseline and at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months after the CT scan. Participants have a CT scan of chest to look for signs of lung cancer. Participants watch a short video about lung cancer, CT scans, and smoking cessation. Brief cessation counseling given by LDCT provider. Participants given shared decision making and discussion about screening with the LDCT provider. Participants referred to the Quitline for counseling and NRT (nicotine patch). Participants have 5 smoking cessation counseling sessions over the next 12 weeks.
