About
The purpose of this study is to find an optimal smoking cessation strategy in patients undergoing therapy for lung and head and neck cancers at selected cancer centers in Kentucky by delivering high quality smoking cessation to all enrolled patients. This study will also examine the feasibility of routinely implementing an array of smoking cessation strategies for this patient population.
Full description
Subjects enrolled in the study will be placed in one of twelve treatment arms. Subjects in each of the twelve treatment regimens will receive either varenicline or bupropion or long-acting nicotine replacement therapy, with or without use of supplemental nicotine replacement therapy, and in combination with either standard of care smoking cessation counseling or high intensity/motivational smoking cessation counseling.
