The multicenter, double-blind, Phase IIa study is being carried out at specialist smoking cessation centers in the USA. Smokers will receive ADX10061 or placebo for a seven-week period together with a targeted smoking cessation counselling program. Efficacy measures include the proportion of smokers continuously abstinent for a four-week period, total number of weeks of smoking abstinence, measures of nicotine craving and withdrawal, as well as mood scores.
