Summary

This completed Phase 3 study tested the long-term safety of cytisinicline, a plant-based pill, taken three times daily for 52 weeks by 479 adults who previously took part in smoking or vaping cessation trials. The main goal was to track serious side effects. Researchers hope this drug could offer a safe, long-term option to help people quit nicotine products.
