CESTO 2 is a 318 participants, 3-arm, multicentric, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial. The main objectives are to select the most efficient dose and to assess long-term efficacy of NFL-101 compared to placebo, for abrupt cessation and for reduction before cessation.
Long-term smoking cessation or reduction had been observed in thousands of patients when 1 or 2 subcutaneous injections of a desensitization treatment against tobacco allergy were taking place concomitantly with Target Quit Date (TQD). NFL Biosciences SAS developed a tobacco cessation drug candidate (NFL-101) consisting of a nicotine-free extract of tobacco proteins. According to the observations made during CESTO, a Phase I study on 24 smokers, NFL-101 appears to work by reducing cigarette appetence immediately and over a week after each injection.
