Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Primary Efficacy Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Percentage of Expected Cigarettes Smoked Per Participant During Study Treatment [Day 1 through Day 25]

    The daily cigarette counts (number of cigarettes smoked in the past 24 hours) were self-reported by participants in the diary. Percentage of expected cigarettes smoked was computed for each participant at the end of treatment (cigarette score), based on daily cigarette counts during treatment vs the screening period. The percentage of expected cigarettes smoked was computed as Y = (100 x N) / (T x R) where N represents total number of cigarettes smoked each day over the treatment period from Day 1 to Day 25; T represents number of post-randomization days where number of cigarettes smoked is recorded; and R represents the average number of cigarettes smoked daily over the 7-day screening period as baseline. T*R represents the total number of cigarettes that would have been smoked without intervention over the number of recorded days. Separate statistical analyses were performed for the two cytisine administration schedules (commercial and TID).

  2. Sensitivity Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Analysis for Percentage of Expected Cigarettes Smoked Versus Pooled Placebo Arms, Commercial Schedule [Day 1 through Day 25]

    The daily cigarette counts (number of cigarettes smoked in the past 24 hours) were self-reported by participants in the diary. Percentage of expected cigarettes smoked was computed for each participant at the end of treatment (cigarette score), based on daily cigarette counts during treatment vs the screening period. (See Outcome Measure 1 description for details.) The sensitivity analysis of the primary outcome measure was only performed if results of "Statistical Analysis 5" for Outcome Measure 1 demonstrated the placebo treatment arms (commercial and TID) were not significantly different, and so could be pooled. Separate statistical analyses were performed for the two cytisine administration schedules (commercial and TID).

  3. Sensitivity Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Analysis for Percentage of Expected Cigarettes Smoked Versus Pooled Placebo Arms, TID Schedule [Day 1 through Day 25]

    The daily cigarette counts (number of cigarettes smoked in the past 24 hours) were self-reported by participants in the diary. Percentage of expected cigarettes smoked was computed for each participant at the end of treatment (cigarette score), based on daily cigarette counts during treatment vs the screening period. (See Outcome Measure 1 description for details.) The sensitivity analysis of the primary outcome measure was only performed if results of "Statistical Analysis 5" for Outcome Measure 1 demonstrated the placebo treatment arms (commercial and TID) were not significantly different, and so could be pooled. Separate statistical analyses were performed for the two cytisine administration schedules (commercial and TID).
