Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Subjects With Four Week Continuous Quit Rate (CQR) [ Time Frame: Week 9 through Week 12 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of subjects who reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products since the last study visit (on the Nicotine Use Inventory [NUI]) and with end-expiratory exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) measurement less than or equal to 10 parts per million (ppm) for weeks 9 through 12 (inclusive).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Subjects With Continuous Abstinence (CA) [ Time Frame: Week 9 through Week 24 and Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of subjects who reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products (treatment phase = through week 12) or tobacco products (non-treatment phase = after treatment phase; follow up through week 52) at each contact (on the NUI) and with end-expiratory exhaled CO measurement less than or equal to 10 ppm from week 9 through week 24 and week 52. CO confirmed in-clinic visit.

  • Number of Subjects With Long Term Quit Rate (LTQR) [ Time Frame: Week 24, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Number of subjects who were responders for the primary endpoint (4-week CQR for Weeks 9 through 12) and who had no more than 6 cumulative days of smoking from Week 12 through the given visit (Week 24 and Week 52).

    CO confirmed in-clinic visit.


  • Number of Subjects With 7-Day Point Prevalence of Abstinence [ Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of subjects at given visit (Week 12, Week 24, Week 52) or telephone contact, reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products (treatment phase) or tobacco products (non-treatment phase) in the last 7 days and with end-expiratory exhaled CO measurement less than or equal to 10 ppm. CO confirmed in-clinic visit.

  • Number of Subjects With 4-Week Point Prevalence of Abstinence [ Time Frame: Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of subjects at Week 52 visit reporting no smoking and no use of other tobacco products in the last 4 weeks and with end-expiratory exhaled CO measurement less than or equal to 10 ppm.

  • Change From Baseline in Pre-bronchodilator and Post-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in mean FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second of forced exhalation) measured in millimeters (ml) as mean at observation minus baseline value. Directly after pre-bronchodilator measurement, subject inhaled albuterol or salbutamol delivered by metered-dose inhaler (MDI); post-bronchodilator lung function repeated 30 to 45 minutes following administration of albuterol or salbutamol.

  • Change From Baseline in Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week, 12, Week 24, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline: mean at observation minus baseline value. Subject-administered 10-item instrument to systematically assess COPD symptoms (items 1, 2, 5, and 6), functional states (items 7, 8, 9, and 10) and mental states (items 3 and 4); For each domain score = sum of items divided by the number of items; total score = sum of scores divided by 10; range from 0 (very good health) to 6 (extremely poor health). Assessed at each visit based on subject's experience during the week prior to visit.

  • Number of Cigarettes Smoked Daily During First 3 Weeks of the 12-Week Treatment Period [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 21 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of cigarettes smoked daily collected during the first 3 weeks of study after randomization using patient smoking diaries.

  • Change From Baseline in Inflammatory Biomarkers: C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Fibrinogen Antigen [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in CRP and Fibrinogen antigen (blood markers of inflammation) calculated as mean at observation minus baseline value; measured as milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).

  • Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline calculated as mean at observation minus baseline value; body weight measured in kilograms (kg).
