NCT04969783

Brief Summary

The goals of this project are to determine the effects of varying degrees of cigarette filter ventilation on biomarkers of toxicant exposure and smoking behavior and on subjective responses to the cigarette. The primary aim of this study is to examine the effects of unventilated vs ventilated filter cigarettes on urinary biomarkers of toxicant exposure and smoking behavior (e.g., cigarettes per day, intensity of smoking). The secondary objectives are 1) to examine the effects of cigarette filter ventilation on subjective measures such as cigarette dependence and responses to study cigarettes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Total NNAL: 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol [ng/g Creatinine]

    Absolute change from baseline level of total NNAL (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol) at the week 6 visit (ng/g creatinine) measured in urine using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

    6 weeks randomized intervention

  • Change in Cigarettes Per Day (CPD)

    Change in cigarettes per day, daily diary reviewed data.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Intend to share findings from this research through publications and presentations. Institutions and individuals wishing to access any resources or data must contact the Principal Investigator (Hatsukami). Data will be available in two formats. One will be a summary of the data, with graphs and tables, posted as pdf files and as raw individual-level data for analysis. Data generated by this grant will be made to outside investigators, according to NIH Guidance. When data are shared, there will be no limits placed on how the data will be used. Users will agree, however, that the recipient must not transfer the data to other users and that the data are only to be used for research purposes. A record of transfer of data and a copy of the dataset that was distributed will be kept by University of Minnesota.
