Study Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of Varenicline and Bupropion For Smoking Cessation In Subjects With And Without A History Of Psychiatric Disorders

The primary safety endpoint is the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "severe" adverse event of anxiety, depression, feeling abnormal, or hostility and/or the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "moderate" or "severe" adverse event of: agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, homicidal ideation, mania, panic, paranoia, psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or completed suicide.

The primary safety endpoint is the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "severe" adverse event of anxiety, depression, feeling abnormal, or hostility and/or the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "moderate" or "severe" adverse event of: agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, homicidal ideation, mania, panic, paranoia, psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or completed suicide. Estimated NPS AE rate (%) was calculated based on least-squares means analysis.

The safety endpoint is the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "severe" adverse event of anxiety, depression, feeling abnormal, or hostility and/or the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "moderate" or "severe" adverse event of: agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, homicidal ideation, mania, panic, paranoia, psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or completed suicide. Each of these 16 components is reported below.

Each of these 16 components is reported below.

The NPS AE composite results (as previously described) are for the two cohorts combined and are presented below.

The primary safety endpoint is the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "severe" adverse event of anxiety, depression, feeling abnormal, or hostility and/or the occurrence of at least one treatment emergent "moderate" or "severe" adverse event of: agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, homicidal ideation, mania, panic, paranoia, psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or completed suicide. Only those events rated as severe are reported; this excludes any moderate events in the primary NPS AE endpoint.

The NPS AE endpoint was the occurrence of at least 1 treatment-emergent "severe" AE of anxiety, depression, feeling abnormal, or hostility and/or the occurrence of at least 1 treatment-emergent "severe" AE of agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, homicidal ideation, mania, panic, paranoia, psychosis, suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or completed suicide. Only those events rated as severe are reported; this excludes any moderate events in the primary NPS AE endpoint.

The HADS is a subject self-reporting scale completed in person at clinic visits at Baseline and Weeks 1 through 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 20, and 24. It contains 14 individual item responses ranging in increasing severity from 0 (normal) to 3 (most severe) for a total range of 0 to 42. Of the 14 items, 7 assess anxiety and 7 assess depression, providing 2 subscales with ranges of 0 to 21. For each subscale, 0 to 7 is considered normal, while 15 to 21 represents severe symptoms.

The C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview designed to evaluate an individual's degree of suicidal ideation, preparatory acts or behavior to actual attempt, ranging from "wish to be dead" to "active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent". Answers at screening are for lifetime history. Answers for all other visits are since last visit.The scale is also used to record any completed suicides.

The CGI-I is a clinician rated instrument that measures change in participant's psychiatric condition (or lack thereof in the stratum without psychiatric disorders) on a 7 point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with 4 = no change. The ratings were applicable even to those without psychiatric diagnoses (eg, those with no psychiatric symptoms would be rated as "normal, not at all ill" on the CGI-S at baseline and assuming no psychiatric symptoms emerge during the trial, would be rated as "no change" on the CGI-I at follow-up visits). For those participants with a psychiatric diagnosis, the clinician should rate the severity of the mental illness with respect to the clinician's experience with the psychiatric population to which the participant belongs.
