Tobacco Cessation Clinical Trials
Dallas, Texas
Currently Enrolling
Giving up tobacco is an incredibly tough challenge, with many people facing strong cravings, irritability, and mood swings during the early stages of quitting. Nicotine’s addictive nature makes it hard to break the habit, creating both physical and mental dependence. The withdrawal symptoms can disrupt sleep, heighten stress levels, and make it difficult to focus, leaving many feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Even with the knowledge of smoking’s health risks, the powerful pull of nicotine often makes the process of quitting feel daunting and, for some, nearly impossible.
Clinical trials can be a valuable resource for individuals trying to quit tobacco by providing access to the latest treatments and methods. These trials explore new medications, therapies, or behavioral techniques designed to ease cravings and help manage withdrawal symptoms. Participants are given personalized support and supervision from healthcare professionals throughout the trial, ensuring their progress and well-being. By joining a clinical trial, individuals not only benefit from advanced treatments but also contribute to research that could help others struggling with tobacco addiction. These trials offer structured, guided assistance to help people on their journey toward a tobacco-free life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical approaches, such as medications, treatments, or procedures, in humans to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials may focus on treatments for diseases, prevention methods, diagnostic techniques, or improving quality of life for patients with certain conditions.
There are many different types of clinical trials. In a typical clinical trial, one group of volunteers receives the drug being studied and another group of volunteers receives a placebo (a drug which looks or acts like the study treatment but has no therapeutic action) to compare the two groups. In other trials, every volunteer may receive the drug/treatment being studied, with no placebo involved. Some studies involve investigational drugs, while other studies involve already FDA-approved treatments. Some clinical trials take place in an office setting, while others require volunteers to sleep at a research location overnight for monitoring. Every study’s protocol is different, and Pillar Clinical Research is happy to explain and guide you through any potential studies you are interested in.
Am I eligible to participate in a clinical trial?
Each clinical trial has specific inclusion and exclusion criteria that define who can participate. Factors such as age, gender, medical history, current health condition, and previous treatments may determine eligibility. You will typically undergo a screening process to see if you meet the requirements.
What are the risks and benefits of participating in a clinical trial?
Clinical trials offer benefits like access to new treatments before they’re widely available, close monitoring by healthcare professionals, and contributing to medical research. However, there are risks, including unknown side effects, possible ineffectiveness of the treatment, or the time and commitment required. Researchers will explain all potential risks and benefits during the informed consent process.
Will I be compensated for participating in a clinical trial?
Compensation varies by trial. Some clinical trials provide participants with a stipend or reimburse expenses such as travel, time off work, or childcare. However, not all trials offer compensation. Compensation details will be outlined before you agree to participate.
How many check-up visits are usually included in a clinical trial?
The number of check-up visits can vary depending on the study. Some trials may require weekly or monthly visits, while others may have fewer, spaced-out appointments. The trial coordinator will provide a detailed schedule before you enroll.
What if I don't have transportation?
Transportation to and from your home for pre-screening visits and visits during a clinical research trial can be provided by Pillar Clinical Research. Don’t let transportation concerns stop you from reaching out to us.
How long does a clinical trial usually last?
The duration of a clinical trial varies depending on its phase and the type of treatment being studied. Some trials last a few weeks or months, while others may span multiple years to assess long-term effects and safety.
Will I continue to see my regular doctor or therapist?
Yes, participants can usually continue to see their regular doctor or therapist during the trial. The clinical trial team will coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care throughout your participation.
Can I leave a clinical trial once it has started?
Yes, participation in a clinical trial is voluntary, and you can withdraw at any time without penalty. If you choose to leave, it is important to notify the research team so they can take steps to ensure your safety and, if necessary, adjust your treatment accordingly.
What happens after the clinical trial ends?
After the trial ends, the research team will provide follow-up care and share key findings. While there may be some cases where participants may continue to receive the treatment, this is a rare exception, and participants should not count on the investigational medicine or therapy to be continued.
This is your chance to make a difference.
