Study objectives | Nicotine dependence in patients with a recent enzyme-positive acute coronary syndrome: 1. To examine the impact of sustained-release bupropion on smoking abstinence rates at one year following an enzyme-positive acute coronary syndrome 2. To examine the safety of sustained-release bupropion in patients following an ACS |
Ethics approval(s) | Research Ethics Committee, Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, 24/01/2005 |

Phase | Not Applicable |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Bupropion |
Primary outcome measure | Smoking abstinence rates at 12 months post-ACS |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Cumulative side effects and safety of bupropion at 9 weeks 2. Composite clinical events (unstable angina, myocardial infarction [MI], seizure, death) |
Overall study start date | 01/09/2005 |
