Show all 19 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Prior participation in the ORCA-2, ORCA-3 or ORCA-V1 clinical studies
  • Former ORCA-2/ORCA-3 and ORCA-V1 subjects who are current daily cigarette smokers and/or daily nicotine-containing electronic cigarette users. Amount of daily combustible and/or nicotine containing electronic cigarette use at baseline is determined by subject self-report
  • At Screening, subjects must have expired carbon monoxide (CO) ≥10 ppm if self-reporting as smokers or ≥30 ng/mL cotinine using a point-of-care cotinine oral fluid screening device if self-reporting as users of nicotine containing electronic cigarettes
  • Willing to initiate cytisinicline treatment on the day after enrollment and set a quit date within 14 days of starting treatment
  • Willing to actively participate in the study's cessation behavioral support provided throughout the study
  • Able to fully understand study requirements, willing to participate, and comply with dosing schedule
  • Sign the Informed Consent Form

Who cannot take part

  • Recent history (within 3 months prior to screening) of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, cerebrovascular incident or hospitalization for congestive heart failure
  • Currently psychotic or having had a psychotic event within 3 months prior to screening; currently having suicidal ideation or risk for suicide (corresponding to question 4 or 5 on the screening C-SSRS OR "Yes" to any suicidal behavior question on the screening C-SSRS with clear suicidal intent or previous attempt); or current symptoms of moderate to severe depression (depression score ≥11 on the HADS) at screening. If any subject becomes psychotic during the study, they must be removed from cytisinicline treatment and/or additional study visits
  • Participation in a clinical study with an investigational drug in the 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Known hypersensitivity to cytisinicline or any of the excipients
  • Current uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg)
  • Clinically significant abnormal screening serum chemistry or hematology values
  • Severe renal impairment defined as a creatinine clearance (CrCl) <60 mL/min on screening lab (estimated with the Cockroft-Gault equation)
  • Hepatic impairment defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2.0 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) on screening lab
  • Clinically significant abnormal screening 12-lead ECG determined after minimum of 5 minutes in supine position (ie, requiring treatment or further assessment)
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential who do not agree to use acceptable methods of birth control during the study. Acceptable methods of birth control include:; True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. [Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception]; Barrier methods:; diaphragm; cervical cap; contraceptive sponge; Hormonal methods:; Oral contraceptives; Vaginal ring such as NuvaRing; Skin patch such as Xulane; Injection such as Depro-Provera; Implantable rod such as Nexplanon
  • Any other reason that the investigator views the subject should not participate or would be unable to fulfill the requirements for the study
