Exploratory Randomized, Controlled, Dose-response Study on the Impact of Nicotine From Five Variants of a Nicotine Tablet (NICOTINE TABLET) on Attention

This study aims to provide initial insights into the impact of orally delivered nicotine on attentional performance in adult occasional users of nicotine pouches. Nicotine will be administered via a dissolvable tablet for approximately 10 minutes. The main objective of this exploratory study is to characterize the effect of nicotine on attentional performance, using metrics derived from Continuous Performance Test (CPT).

Additionally, a second CPT assessment will be conducted two hours after the first administration to explore the potential sustained effects of nicotine on attention as an exploratory objective.

  • Subject expresses no desire to quit consumer nicotine product use within the next 3 months from Screening visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject uses or intents to start using nicotine replacement therapy or any other medication for smoking cessation.
  • Subject uses other consumer nicotine products besides nicotine pouches more frequently than once per 30 days.
  • Subject with a urine cotinine test exceeding 500 ng/mL.
  • Subject has exhaled CO reading ≥ 10 ppm.
  • Subject has reasons other than medical (e.g., psychological, social reason) to not participate in the study, as determined by the Investigator.

  • Subject has a positive urine drug test.
  • Subject has a positive urine alcohol test.
  • Subject has a visual or motor impairment that would interfere with their ability to perform a computer-based attentional task.
  • Subject has a current prescription for medical use of cannabis, any use of cannabis products in the past month, or inability to refrain from cannabis use during the Screening and Testing visits. For clarification, use of non-psychoactive cannabis-derived products which contain only cannabidiol is not considered to be cause for exclusion.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in attentional performance after 15 minutes

    Time frame: 15 minutes after the start of product use

    To evaluate the effect of nicotine on attentional performance following a 10-minute use of five NICOTINE TABLET variants containing 0 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, or 2.0 mg nicotine. Attentional performance will be assessed 15 minutes after the start of product use using the Conners Continuous Performance Test (CPT).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in attentional performance after 2 hours

    Time frame: 2 hours after the start of product use

    To evaluate the effect of nicotine on attentional performance following a 10-minute use of five NICOTINE TABLET variants containing 0 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, or 2.0 mg nicotine. Attentional performance will be assessed 2 hours after the start of product use using the Conners Continuous Performance Test (CPT).

  2. Change in self-reported craving for nicotine pouch use

    Time frame: 10 minutes after the start of product use

    Participants will rate their craving on a 100 mm unipolar scale (0 = no craving, 100 = strong craving) in response to the question: "How strong is your craving for using a nicotine pouch?" following a 10-minute use of five NICOTINE TABLET variants containing 0 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.5 mg, or 2.0 mg nicotine.
