Summary

This trial will compare 6 months of extended bupropion use to 7 weeks of standard bupropion use to help African American daily smokers quit.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American adults who smoke daily, want to quit, and are willing to commit to a 6-month treatment plan. Participants must not be using any stop smoking medications recently, be pregnant or breastfeeding, have had a recent heart attack, or take certain drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP2D6.
What is being tested?
The study compares two durations of bupropion treatment for quitting smoking: an extended course of 6 months versus the standard duration of 7 weeks. It aims to determine which is more effective in helping African American smokers achieve abstinence.
What are the potential side effects?
Bupropion may cause side effects such as dry mouth, trouble sleeping, headache, nausea, constipation and increased risk of seizures. Some people might also experience changes in mood or behavior.
