Purpose
There are no established evidences as to the effectiveness in smoking pregnant women of nicotine patches in increasing birth weight, smoking abstinence during pregnancy and concerning the safety their for the fetus/newborn. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the metabolism of nicotine is speeded up in pregnant women suggesting that dose adaptation may be necessary in this population. The main aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of nicotine patch comparatively to a placebo patch in pregnant women on birth weight and maternal smoking abstinence. The main secondary objective is the assessment of safety of these treatments for the fetus/newborn and for the mother.

Detailed Description:
Smoking during pregnancy is one of the main causes of low birth weight and several disorders during pregnancy involving the mother, the fetus/newborn or both. Only one previous study assessed the efficacy of 16 hours nicotine patch proposed for 3 months in pregnant women for smoking cessation. This study seemed to be underpowered and the compliance was very poor. However, some benefit on birth weight was observed.
The aim of the present study is to demonstrate whether nicotine replacement therapy with 16 h nicotine patch every day increases or not birth weight and abstinence during pregnancy in smoking women. Secondarily, it is aimed to provide descriptive information about the safety of nicotine patches in pregnant women.
This is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study. With 200 pregnant women in each arm it will have sufficient power to conclude about differences in birth weight and maternal abstinence between nicotine and placebo.
Women are recruited by health care professionals and directed to the obstetrical departments having previously been agreed to participate in the study.
After a grace period of one month without pharmacological treatment, the pregnant women are randomized into the placebo (N=200) or the nicotine group (N=200). Treatment duration is from randomization till delivery meaning a maximum length of drug/placebo exposure of 6 month during pregnancy. No treatment is started earlier than 3 months' pregnancy. Women may optionally continue their treatment for at least up to 2 months after birth.
At the inclusion visit when the women are smoking, saliva cotinine is collected and determined. The first dose of nicotine is adapted according to the saliva cotinine when smoking to obtain approximately 100 % substitution. A second saliva cotinine determination is realized 2 weeks later and at the next visit nicotine's daily dose is determined according to this second saliva cotinine results for the whole duration of pregnancy. This dose-adaptation is necessary to avoid as far as possible under- and overdosing of nicotine.
The women undergo monthly visits as it is usual and recommended in France. They are followed as well as their newborn up to 2 months after birth.
During the visits standard obstetrical information along with smoking related information and the routinely realized echography data are recorded and birth characteristics collected.
In a subgroup of pregnant women having given their written informed consent and undergoing an amniocentesis for medical reasons, nicotine and cotinine in amniotic fluid will be determined.
In a subgroup of pregnant women having given their written informed consent and breast feeding their baby during the 2 months period after birth, nicotine and cotinine in maternal milk are determined.
There are 2 main outcome comparisons between the nicotine patch and the placebo patch groups: birth weight and maternal continuous, complete abstinence during pregnancy
