377 Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial to Test the Efficacy of genetically informed biomarker Nicotine Metabolite Ratio (NMR), and transdermal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) versus varenicline

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The overall aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness and clinical utility of the NMR as a biomarker of response to placebo, transdermal nicotine, and varenicline to be utilized within the clinical practice as a point-of-care predictor to tailor an individual’s smoking cessation treatment. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A 12-week phase II, stratified multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 3 treatment groups to measure treatment-seeking smokers (n-900:150 slow metabolizers; 150 normal metabolizers), randomized to 12-weeks of nicotine patch (active patch + placebo pill), varenicline (active pill + placebo patch), or placebo (placebo pill + patch). At the end of treatment, patients will be followed for 12 months. Study Population: Adult smokers 18–65 years old reported smoking≥10 cigarettes/day for≥6 months (verified by carbon monoxide (CO) >10 ppm). Drug and route of administration: RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The study would conclude the effectiveness of the interventions well defined. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The report will provide robust evidence to support the effectiveness of NRT intervention on smoking cessation.
