This study will test a new medication strategy designed to help smokers quit. It will combine selegiline, a drug currently approved and available for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, with a nicotine skin patch. Forty nicotine-dependent smokers will enrolled in this study. Twenty will receive placebo (inactive pill) plus nicotine patch, and twenty will receive selegiline plus nicotine patch. Once enrolled in the study, subjects will visit the Nicotine Dependence Clinic at CAMH on a weekly basis for assessment of smoking behavior, a brief health check, collection of breath and urine samples (necessary to drug levels and nicotine levels), and receive brief individual counseling designed to help them stop smoking. The medication phase of this study lasts 9 weeks. A follow-up visit will be conducted six months after trial completion. At that point, health and behavioral measures will be re-assessed.

1: Experimental |
Drug: Selegiline + nicotine replacement therapy
Participants will begin selegiline once a day during Week 1, and dose will be graduated to full study dosage (10 mg/day) by adding an evening intake (a.m. and p.m. dosing) for Weeks 2-8. Day 15 of the trial represents target quit day and the transdermal nicotine patch (21 mg/24hr) will be applied at this time. Patches will be worn in conjunction with study medication for Weeks 3-8, after which the patch will be removed and study medication tapered throughout Week 9. |
2: Placebo Comparator |
Drug: placebo + nicotine replacement therapy
Participants will begin placebo once a day during Week 1, and dose will be graduated to full study dosage (10 mg/day) by adding an evening intake (a.m. and p.m. dosing) for Weeks 2-8. Day 15 of the trial represents target quit day and the transdermal nicotine patch (21 mg/24hr) will be applied at this time. Patches will be worn in conjunction with study medication for Weeks 3-8, after which the patch will be removed and study medication tapered throughout Week 9. |
This pilot study utilizes a double-blind, two-armed design to evaluate the efficacy of combining oral selegiline with transdermal nicotine patch for smoking cessation in 40 nicotine-dependent smokers. After successful completion of 3 screening visits (to ensure medical and psychiatric eligibility criteria are met), subjects will be randomized into one of two experimental groups:
Randomization will be performed through the use a random number list to generate 50% selegiline/50% placebo and also 50% male/50% female within each of those treatment groups.
Participants will begin selegiline (or placebo) once a day during Week 1, and dose will be graduated to full study dosage (10 mg/day) by adding an evening intake (a.m. and p.m. dosing) for Weeks 2-8. Day 15 of the trial represents target quit day and the transdermal nicotine patch (21 mg/24hr) will be applied at this time. Patches will be worn in conjunction with study medication for Weeks 3-8, after which the patch will be removed and study medication tapered throughout Week 9.
Subjects will present weekly to the Nicotine Dependence Clinic where they will provide breath, urine and blood samples as required, receive brief smoking cessation counseling and complete questionnaires regarding their smoking behavior and psychological state. A post-trial physical will be conducted upon completion of Week 9. Monthly follow-up phone interviews will be conducted for 5 months and subjects will be re-assessed in the NDC for a 6-month follow-up.
Trial Objectives
To determine if combination of selegiline hydrochloride and NRT (full substitution to tobacco) is superior to NRT alone + placebo (partial substitution) for smoking cessation in nicotine dependent smokers.
Hypothesis 4 is that selegiline in combination with NRT will be well-tolerated and that rates of adverse events will not be significantly different between subjects assigned to full substitution as compared to NRT group.
