About this study

This will be an open label study to evaluate puff topography in adult smokers using a JUUL 5% ENDS. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled and evaluated on Day 1 and Day 15. The duration of the study is 15 days with up to a 28 days screening window.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy, adult, male or female smoker, 21 to 65 years of age
  • Has been a smoker for at least 12 months prior to Screening.
  • Currently smokes an average of 5 to 40 manufactured combustible (menthol or non menthol) cigarettes per day.
  • A female subject of childbearing potential must have been using 1 of the following forms of contraception and agree to continue using it through completion of the study
  • Provides voluntary consent to participate in this study documented on the signed informed consent form.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a clinically significant abnormal finding on the physical examination, medical history, vital signs, ECG, or clinical laboratory results, in the opinion of the PI.
  • Has a body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2 or < 18 kg/m2 at Screening.
  • Has a history of drug or alcohol abuse within 24 months of Day 1.
  • If female, the subject is pregnant, lactating, or intends to become pregnant during the time period from Screening through the end of study.

Treatment and study plan

JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS product

Other

Subjects participate in a 15 day product use period during which subjects will be requested to predominantly use the JUUL 5% product ad libitum as their primary source of nicotine. Subjects will be asked to report their daily use of the JUUL 5% product and CPD throughout the 15 day product use period.

Other names: ENDS

Primary outcomes

  1. Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Duration

    Time frame: 15 days

    To characterize overall puff duration

  2. Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Volume

    Time frame: 15 days

    To characterize overall puff volume

  3. Puff Topography Parameter - Peak Puff Flow Rate

    Time frame: 15 days

    To characterize overall peak puff flow rate

  4. Puff Topography Parameter - Average Puff Flow Rate

    Time frame: 15 days

    To characterize overall average puff flow

  5. Puff Topography Parameter - Inter-Puff Interval

    Time frame: 15 days

    To characterize overall inter-puff interval (time between puffs)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-reported product use over 15-day period

    Time frame: 15 days

    To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and self-reported product use (number of puffs per day and number of JUULpods started each day) in a 15-day product use period.

  2. Subjective measure of product liking

    Time frame: 15 days

    To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and JUUL 5% ENDs liking using a "Product Liking Questionnaire". Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at all) to 100 (Extremely) in response to question "I like using the JUUL Product."

  3. Subjective measure of cigarette dependence

    Time frame: 15 days

    Assessment of cigarette dependence with "Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence Questionnaire (FTCD)". Questionnaire consists of 6 questions.

  4. Subjective measure of smoking urges

    Time frame: 15 days

    Assessment of current smoking urge with "Questionnaire of Smoking Urges - Brief (QAU-B)". Responses to various statements with scale 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).

  5. Subjective measure of effects of nicotine

    Time frame: 15 days

    Assessment of nicotine using the "Direct Effects of Nicotine Scale." Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at All) to 100 (Extremely) in response to words describing how the subject feels.

  6. Subject measure of affect

    Time frame: 15 days

    Assessment of affect using the "Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS)". Scale consists of a number of words that describe different feelings and emotions. Scale 1 (Very Slightly or Not at All), 2 (A Little), 3 (Moderately), 4 (Quite a Bit), 5 (Extremely).

  7. Subjective measure of nicotine withdrawal

    Time frame: 15 days

    Assessment of nicotine withdrawal using the "Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS-R)." Scale consists of 15 words/statements that describe different feelings. Scale 0 (None) to 4 (Severe).
