A single-center, randomized, controlled, open-label, crossover study in currently smoking adult participants to investigate the nicotine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Tobacco Heating System (THS) with LEVIA, a tobacco-free nicotine-containing consumable, compared to THS with TEREA, a tobacco-containing consumable, and cigarettes.
The study will use a 2-period, 2-sequence design for the ad libitum use days, and a 3-period, 6-sequence Williams design for the single-use days. Across the ad libitum use and single-use period, this is a design with 5 periods and 12 sequences.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| THS with LEVIA (ad libitum) | Other | On Day 1 through Day 2, after at least 10 hours of abstinence from any tobacco and nicotine-containing products, participants will use THS with LEVIA ad libitum in the randomized product-use sequence. The ad libitum use period will last approximately 12 hours. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Background-corrected plasma nicotine concentrations (cC0h) to (cC12h) | To measure the background-corrected plasma nicotine concentrations (cC0h) to (cC12h) | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Background-corrected maximum plasma nicotine concentration (Cmax) | To measure the background-corrected maximum plasma nicotine concentration [Cmax] | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Area under the background-corrected plasma nicotine concentration-time curve (AUC) (AUC) from the start of product use (T0) to the timepoint of last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-last) and extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-infinity) | To measure the area under the background-corrected plasma nicotine concentration-time curve (AUC) | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Time to the background-corrected maximum concentration (Tmax) | To measure the time to the background-corrected maximum concentration [Tmax] | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Terminal elimination rate constant (λz) | To measure the terminal elimination rate constant (λz) | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Half-life of nicotine (t1/2) | To measure the half-life of nicotine (t1/2) | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Product consumption | Product consumption expressed as number of LEVIA or TEREA sticks (N sticks) | Measured from Day 1 to Day 2 |
| NEQ in Plasma | Nicotine, cotinine and trans-3'-hydroxycotinine concentrations expressed as nicotine equivalents in plasma (NEQplasma) |

| THS with TEREA (ad libitum) | Other | On Day 1 through Day 2, after at least 10 hours of abstinence from any tobacco and nicotine-containing products, participants will use THS with TEREA ad libitum in the randomized product-use sequence. The ad libitum use period will last approximately 12 hours. |
|
| THS with LEVIA | Other | On Day 3 through Day 5, after at least 10 hours of abstinence from any tobacco and nicotine-containing products, participants will use a single THS with LEVIA in the randomized product-use sequence, as instructed by the investigational site staff. |
|
| THS with TEREA | Other | On Day 3 through Day 5, after at least 10 hours of abstinence from any tobacco and nicotine-containing products, participants will use a single THS with TEREA in the randomized product-use sequence, as instructed by the investigational site staff. |
|
| Cigarette | Other | On Day 3 through Day 5, after at least 10 hours of abstinence from any tobacco and nicotine-containing products, participants will use their usual brand of cigarettes according to the randomized product-use sequence and as instructed by the investigational site staff. |
|
| Measured from Day 1 to Day 2 |
| NEQ in Urine | Nicotine and metabolites concentrations expressed as nicotine equivalents adjusted to creatinine (NEQcreate) in first void urine | Measured from Day 1 to Day 3 |
| Craving for using a tobacco or nicotine product | Craving will be self-reported on a Visual Analogue Scale, asking participants to rate their craving for using a tobacco or nicotine product on a 100 mm unipolar scale, ranging from 0 (no craving) to 100 (strong craving). | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Product Liking | Product liking will be self-reported on a Visual Analogue Scale, stating "Overall, my liking for this product is:" which participants will complete on a 100 mm bipolar scale, ranging from 0 (strong disliking) to 100 (strong liking) with a neutral middle point. | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Nicotine Satisfaction | Satisfaction with the perceived nicotine content will be self-reported on a Visual Analogue Scale, stating "Overall, the nicotine level in this product is:" which participants will complete on a 100 mm bipolar scale, ranging from 0 (not enough) to 100 (too much) with a middle point (just right). | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
| Product Experience | The 12-item self-report measure consists of three multi-item scales and two single-item scales:
Participants rate each item on a 7-point scale, ranging from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely). A score is computed for each of the five scales. For each scale, the mean of the individual item responses is calculated. Higher scores indicate higher perceived intensity of the effect. | Measured from Day 3 to Day 5 |
