| Scientific title | Using genotype to tailor prescribing of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): a randomised controlled trial assessing impact upon medication adherence |
| Study objectives | Adherence to NRT is greater when given feedback that NRT is tailored to genotype as opposed to heaviness of smoking. The trial is 1 of 3 studies that make up an MRC-funded programme of research: GRAB (Genetic Risk And Behaviour change) |
| Ethics approval(s) | Added as of 03/08/2007: Hertfordshire 1 Research Ethics Committee, approved in June 2006 (ref: 06/Q0201/21; Protocol No.1) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Smoking |
| Intervention | Participants will be divided into two groups of equal size by randomisation. One group will be informed that prescribing for NRT is based upon DNA information and addiction, and the other group informed that it is based on addiction alone. |
| Intervention type | Drug |
| Phase | Not Specified |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Nicotine replacement therapy |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
The proportion of all NRT consumed in the first 4 weeks of quitting or to the point of relapse, whichever is the sooner. This will be measured by self-report daily diary, backed up by 'pill count reconciliation' with the diary at the clinic. If pill counts are discrepant with the diary, this will be discussed and reconciled at the clinic visit. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Responses to the Mood and Physical Symptoms Scale, a measure of nicotine withdrawal symptoms |
