Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPoint-prevalent Abstinence at 4 Months4 months after the quit date
To test our hypothesis that among the subset of the 701 enrolled participants who quit smoking and then lapsed while using the nicotine patch, those randomized to continue the patch post-lapse will be more likely to be 7-day point-prevalent abstinent at 4 month follow-up than those randomized to discontinue the patch post-lapse. 7-day point prevalent abstinence was assessed by response to the question "In the last 7 days, on how many days did you smoke" on the 4 month follow-up survey. Respondents who replied "0" were classified as "Yes" for 7-day point-prevalent abstinence; all other responses (including missing) were classified as "No".
SecondaryMediators of Effect of Post-lapse Nicotine Replacement Therapy Use on Abstinence4 months after the quit date
To test whether the amount of use of nicotine patch post-lapse, craving, withdrawal, cigs/day, motivation to quit, confidence in quitting, nicotine reinforcement from cigarettes, and self-efficacy mediate any effect of post-lapse patch use on abstinence.
SecondaryAdverse Drug EffectsUp to 12 weeksTo test whether the incidence of adverse drug effects during the post-lapse use of nicotine patch is minimal.
