1,147 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This project will investigate the effects of alternative nicotine products on smoking, weight gain, and related outcomes.
Smoking Cessation, Obesity and Obesity-related Medical Conditions
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of Actívatexto (Aim 1) and the mediators of the presumed treatment effect (Aim 2) among Latino adults who smoke. Actívatexto is a mobile intervention that integrates four components: 1) a text messaging program that promotes both smoking cessation and physical activity, 2) wearable devices to monitor physical activity, 3) smoking cessation pharmacotherapy \[i.e., nicotine replacement therapies (NRT)\], and 4) an online dashboard where the research team manages participants' incoming and outgoing data from both the text messaging program and wearable devices.
Smoking, Smoking Cessation, Physical Inactivity
This phase III trial compares a smartphone application with or without nicotine replacement therapy in improving smoking cessation among Hispanic adults who would like to quit smoking. The iCanQuit smartphone application focuses on skills for managing urges, motivation, and relapse prevention with personalized quit plans. Nicotine replacement therapy works by giving small, steady doses of nicotine to help stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking without any of the other harmful chemicals found in tobacco products.
Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma
This trial develops a contextually tailored and optimized smoking cessation intervention and studies smoking motivations and motivations to quit smoking in homeless youth. Identifying motivations for smoking and motivations to quit smoking may help researchers build a program to help homeless young people quit smoking cigarettes if desired.
Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the success rate (efficacy) of a newly developed program to help smokers and vapers quit smoking. There will be no drugs of any nature involved, nor will there be any replacement addictions offered (ie; patches, gummies, etc.) It will also learn about the demographic profile of inbound participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the new program offer an improved success rate for smoking cessation? Does the program eliminate the need for long term "trigger" management? Does the program effectively diminish the anxiety that is normally associated with smoking cessation? Participants will: Attend a 1 hour group zoom session each week for the duration of the program (8 weeks). Fill out an onboarding demographic questionnaire and exit demographic questionnaire. Agree to a 6 month follow up questionnaire regarding their continued success/failure. There are no physical meeting requirements. Participants can be located anywhere within the US.
Nicotine Addiction, Smoking Cessation
This clinical trial develops a chatbot smartphone application (app), QuitBot, and text messaging to help American Indians (AI) and Alaska Natives (AN) to quit smoking commercial tobacco (smoking cessation), and evaluates two remote smoking cessation programs to see how well they work for helping AI/AN people quit smoking commercial tobacco. AI/AN populations have one of the highest rates of commercial cigarette smoking of any racial and ethnic group in the United States (US). They also have a higher rate of developing smoking-related cancer but are less likely to quit smoking. The two programs are designed to provide personalized support in setting a smoking cessation goal, tasks to reach the smoking cessation goal, and motivation to remain smoke-free. This may help to keep participants engaged and support them in their quit efforts, and may improve smoking cessation among AI and AN.
Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma
Individuals prone to suicidality are typically excluded from tobacco cessation interventions even though they are disproportionately likely to smoke, and even though smoking cessation has been linked to improved mood and reduced risk of suicide. This trial enrolls Veteran smokers at high risk for suicide, and assigns them to receive either cessation treatment as usual, or a novel treatment that incorporates standard behavioral cessation treatment with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based treatment for suicide risk.
Tobacco Dependence, Suicidal
Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and there are persistent and significant disparities in tobacco use among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals. Stigma, discrimination, gender dysphoria, and other gender minority stressors likely contribute to these disparities, and the increased burden of gender minority stress may also be driving higher prevalence rates of anxiety and depression, both of which are more common among TGD individuals and among those who smoke relative to comparison samples. This study will (1) explore the ways in which gender minority stressors and associated anxiety and depression compromise smoking cessation among TGD individuals, identifying elements in an existing smoking cessation intervention that need to be adjusted to meet their unique needs; (2) adapt an existing smoking cessation intervention for TGD individuals; and (3) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted intervention in a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Smoking Cessation, Depression, Anxiety, Nicotine Dependence, Gender Minority Stress
This study will examine how Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) may help people interested in quitting smoking, quit.
Mental Illness, Tobacco Dependence
This study's long-term goal is to improve clinical outcomes among smokers living with HIV (SLWH) by providing smoking cessation interventions in HIV clinical care that will increase the chances of quitting smoking, limits costs and burden on staff and reach many smokers living with HIV.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Smoking Cessation
The current study will conduct an RCT to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-based incentive intervention with Alaska Native/American Indian families. The experimental arm will be compared to a control arm on biochemically-confirmed smoking abstinence at 6- and 12-months post-intervention.
Smoking Cessation
The purpose of this study is to test the usability, engagement and acceptability of SmokefreeSGM Español, a culturally and linguistically tailored version of SmokefreeSGM, among Spanish-speaking SGM smokers.
Smoking Cessation
The purpose of the study is to obtain feedback on a new quit-smoking treatment among individuals with a cancer diagnosis using a prototype app we developed.
Any Cancer Type
This study seeks to develop and test an internet video series aimed at helping individuals reduce cigarette smoking. Participants (daily smokers) will be asked to watch a series of six videos (approximately 6.5 minutes each) which cover various empirically-supported smoking cessation strategies and tools. Examples of strategies included in the videos include noticing smoking cues and consequences and relaxation training. Participants' demographic information, motivation to change, reactions to the video series alliance with video therapist, and confidence in avoiding smoking will all be measured. Additionally, participants will be asked to report their smoking behavior at study baseline and follow-up.
Tobacco Use Cessation, Tobacco Smoking
This develops a novel behavioral tobacco cessation program for pregnant smokers in San Bernardino County.
Tobacco Use, Tobacco Use Cessation, Tobacco Use in Childbirth
Tobacco use among US Veterans poses significant health problems and challenges to their overall well-being. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a program called Contingency Management (CM) in helping Veterans quit smoking during lung cancer screening or cancer care at VA clinics. CM is a behavioral treatment that uses rewards to encourage smoking cessation when verified through biological testing. In the first year, the researchers will develop a mobile CM protocol based on feedback from Veterans and healthcare staff through focus groups. In the second year, they will conduct a pilot study to test the feasibility of the mobile CM program along with counseling and medication for 20 Veterans over a five-week period. The success of the pilot study will determine whether to proceed with a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT) in years three to six, comparing the efficacy of mobile CM with standard treatment. The project will take place at SFVA.
Tobacco Use Disorder, Substance Use Disorder
This clinical trial assesses the acceptability and efficacy of Empowered, Queer, Quitting, and Living--New Mexico (EQQUAL-NM), a smoking cessation intervention for sexual and gender minority young adults in New Mexico. Smoking prevalence among sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults in New Mexico is more than twice as high as non-SGM adults. Helping young adult tobacco users to quit is critical, yet there have been few efforts to develop tailored treatments specifically for this population. EQQUAL-NM is a digital smoking cessation intervention designed specifically for SGM young adult smokers in New Mexico and may help them quit smoking.
Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma
The goal of this project is to refine and test a culturally-tailored smoking cessation intervention for American Indian women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). The primary aims of this study are to: (a) use a community-based participatory approach to refine intervention materials and finalize pilot intervention methodology for a culturally tailored, trauma-informed smoking cessation intervention for AI women who have experienced IPV; (b) examine feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention; and (c) explore changes in alcohol and drug use over the course of the intervention. Participants will be asked to participate in the 8-week Healing Within: Smoking Cessation Intervention for American Indian Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence, and complete interviews at baseline, end-of-treatment, and three months from the end of treatment.
Smoking Cessation, Cigarette Smoking
The purpose of the current study is to pilot the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of an evidence-based smoking cessation intervention adapted for cancer patients and delivered via video. Investigators aim to assess if this intervention is considered acceptable by participants, feasible to implement, and effective at increasing knowledge about smoking cessation before conducting a fully powered clinical trial.
Cancer, Smoking Cessation
This trial will examine the effect of semaglutide 2.4mg on changes in body weight, body composition, and peripheral and central mechanisms that control appetite, satiety, and food intake in the context of smoking cessation.
Obesity, Overweight, Cigarette Smoking
This clinical trial compares a new smoking cessation smartphone application (app) (iCanQuit) to an existing smarphone app (National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] QuitGuide) for helping American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) quit smoking. Compared to other racial/ethnic groups, AIANs have 6 times higher rates of developing smoking-related cancers, including lung cancer. Commercial cigarette smoking accounts for half of all deaths among AIANs nationwide. AIANs' often lack of access to smoking cessation interventions, which may be due to inequities in the healthcare system, lack of health insurance, living in rural areas, systemic racism, and historical trauma. There is also a lack of effective smoking cessation interventions for AIANs. Smartphone apps have the potential to deliver a low-cost smoking cessation intervention with wide reach to AIANs. Apps require no in-person delivery and no provider training, do not require integration into complex hospital systems, can be freely accessed on an app store, and are available at any time and any place. iCanQuit is a behavioral intervention designed to help adults stop smoking by teaching skills for coping with smoking urges, staying motivated, and preventing relapse. The iCanQuit app intervention may be more effective than the currently available NCI QuitGuide app at helping AIANs quit smoking.
Cigarette Smoking-Related Carcinoma
This is a research study to find out if treatment decision making can be improved for smokers who find it difficult to quit with medications. Everyone who participates in this study will receive free product, either nicotine replacement therapies (patches and lozenges), varenicline, or a harm reduction product (e-cigarette) for a full 12 weeks. Most participants will receive some combination of these treatments, depending on individual response to each. All visits and study assessments will be entirely remote. All treatments will be provided free of charge for the first 12 weeks. After that, the study team will contact the participants 6 months after the first study phone call to complete another survey. The study lasts six months and will involve 8 surveys.

The main objective of this study is to identify the optimal adaptive smoking cessation program for the construction sector in terms of effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and potential implementation.
Smoking Cessation, Tobacco Use Cessation, Tobacco Smoking
Anxiety sensitivity, reflecting the fear of bodily sensations, is a risk factor for the maintenance and relapse of smoking. This study is designed to address the question - is a smoking cessation intervention personalized to high anxiety sensitive smokers and adapted for implementation by the YMCA effective among racially/ethnically diverse samples?
Nicotine Dependence
Clinical practice guidelines for smoking cessation emphasize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help patients develop coping strategies for urges. Mindfulness or Acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT) offer a different approach, which teaches smokers psychological flexibility through accepting negative experiences. While there is evidence for the efficacy of both CBT and Mindfulness/ACT smoking cessation interventions, it is unclear if these approaches are efficacious when implemented in real-time and with young adults. The overall goal of this proposal is to evaluate the efficacy of CBT and Mindfulness/ACT messages for young adults targeted at specific high-risk situations for smoking.
Tobacco Cigarette Smoking
This clinical trial evaluates an online Tai Chi intervention to promote smoking cessation among cancer survivors. Tai chi is a practice that involves a series of slow gentle movements and physical postures, a meditative state of mind, and controlled breathing. It is a gentle form of exercise that can be done while sitting or standing and does not involve any medications or medical procedures. Tai chi originated as an ancient martial art in China. Over the years, it has become more focused on health promotion and rehabilitation. The use of Tai Chi may be beneficial for cancer patients who want to quit smoking.
Cancer
This study is recruiting Veterans who currently smoke cigarettes and support persons who are nominated by the Veterans. The purpose of this study is to assist Veterans with smoking cessation by asking Veterans to choose a support person who will assist them with the quitting process, or who may assist them with the quitting process once the Veteran is ready to quit smoking sometime in the future. Study staff will assess how much or how little social support during the Veteran's quitting process is helpful to the Veteran. This information will help us come up with new ways to help Veterans quit smoking that are better tailored to their needs.
Smoking Cessation, Veterans Health
This trial assesses the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of Empowered, Queer, Quitting, and Living (EQQUAL) smoking-cessation intervention for sexual and gender minority young adult smokers. The prevalence of tobacco use among sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults is more than twice as high as non-SGM young adults, suggesting that existing SGM-related disparities in tobacco use will persist well into the foreseeable future unless sustained efforts are undertaken to address them. EQQUAL is an online smoking cessation intervention designed specifically for SGM young adult smokers, and may help them quit smoking.
