Efficient recruitment and data capture processes are needed to collect relevant information in a near-to-real-world environment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aim of this pilot study was to develop and test a protocol for an actual use study of a new tobacco product. The product included in this study was a commercially available oral nicotine pouch. Through the process of study design and execution, learnings were garnered to inform the design, execution, analysis, and report writing of future full-scale actual use studies with tobacco products.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A small sample (n=100) of healthy adult daily smokers of 7 or more cigarettes per day were recruited to participate in an 8-week prospective observational study conducted at 4 geographically dispersed sites in the United States. A smartphone-based customized electronic diary (eDiary) was employed to capture daily tobacco product use, including 1 week of baseline smoking and 6 weeks during which participants were provided with oral nicotine pouches for use as desired.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Online screening procedures with follow-up telephone interviews and on-site enrollment were successfully implemented. Of 100 participants, 97 completed the study, with more than half (59\/99, 60%) identifying as dual- or poly-users of cigarettes and other types of tobacco products at baseline. There was more than 90% (91-93\/99, 92%-94%) compliance with daily eDiary reporting, and the majority (92\/99, 93%) of participants expressed satisfaction with the study processes. Product use data from the eDiary indicated that after an initial period of trial use, pouches per day increased among those continuing to use the products, while per day average cigarette consumption decreased for 82% (79\/97) of all study participants. At the end of the week 6, 16% (15\/97) of participants had reduced their cigarette consumption by more than half.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The design of this study, including recruiting, enrollment, eDiary use, and oversight, was successfully implemented through the application of a detailed protocol, a user-friendly eDiary, electronically administered questionnaires, and remote monitoring procedures. High-resolution information was obtained on prospective changes in tobacco product use patterns in the context of availability of a new tobacco product. Future, larger actual use studies will provide important evidence supporting the role that alternatives to combustible cigarettes may play in smoking reduction and\/or cessation and lowering the population health burden of tobacco and nicotine-containing products.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/37573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]],"date-time":"2022-08-19T09:00:40Z","timestamp":1660899640000},"page":"e37573","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Designing Studies to Inform Tobacco Harm Reduction: Learnings From an Oral Nicotine Pouch Actual Use Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6572-6967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Campbell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3921-1089","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Feehan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6281-8615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Kanitscheider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7199-0628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrudu S","family":"Makena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7871-3727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenny","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9473-9719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah A","family":"Baxter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"The health consequences of smoking\u201450 years of progress. a report of the Surgeon General20142022-07-22WashingtonU.S. Department of Health and Human Serviceshttps:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/consequences-smoking-exec-summary.pdf"},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":"Cancer A-Z: lung cancer risk factorsAmerican Cancer Society2021-12-29https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/content\/dam\/CRC\/PDF\/Public\/8704.00.pdf"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.toxrep.2021.05.003"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/JMDH.S319727"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01480545.2021.1925691"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tobaccocontrol-2019-055321"},{"issue":"90","key":"ref7","first-page":"28973","volume":"81","year":"2016","journal-title":"Fed Regist"},{"issue":"190","key":"ref8","first-page":"55300","volume":"86","year":"2021","journal-title":"Fed Regist"},{"key":"ref9","first-page":"42","author":"Feehan, M","year":"2021","journal-title":"Quirk's Mark Res Rev"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.17606.2"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"McCaffreySLewisJBeckerEVansickelALarsonESarkarMSix-week actual use study to evaluate the impact of oral tobacco-derived nicotine pouches on cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco product use behaviors202202222022-07-21\n Preprint posted online February 24, 2022 https:\/\/www.researchsquare.com\/article\/rs-951433\/latest.pdf","DOI":"10.21203\/rs.3.rs-951433\/v2"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ntr\/ntab005"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-17-0460"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18126301"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5993\/ajhb.45.3.3"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/32825"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15112538"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/mhealth.6496"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40271-014-0090-z"},{"key":"ref20","unstructured":"Food and Drug AdministrationPart 11: Electronic records.
