Investigations and Research on Human Health Effects
Investigations and research concerning the human health effects of Vuse products are described below, pursuant to the requirements of N.Y. Pub. Health Law §§ 1701(1)(a)(ii) and (1)(b)(iii) as implemented by 10 N.Y.C.R.R. §§ 1006.2(b)(1)(iii) and (b)(2)(iv).
RJRV has conducted or sponsored a body of research to assess potential human health effects related to Vuse products and their ingredients. These investigations and research have been included in RJRV’s premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs). The FDA has completed review of PMTAs for the Vuse Solo, Vuse Ciro, and Vuse Vibe products available in the state of New York and determined that the marketing of these products is appropriate for the protection of the public health.
The investigations and research submitted in RJRV’s PMTAs draw from a range of scientific disciplines including chemical analyses, preclinical toxicology, clinical studies, survey research, and population modeling to estimate the health effects of Vuse products. RJRV has conducted or sponsored studies including:
Chemical Analyses: RJRV has conducted and submitted to FDA chemical analyses of Vuse aerosols to determine what constituents are present and at what levels, including how such constituents change over the shelf life of the products. RJRV’s studies also include analyses to determine what elements or organic compounds may leach into Vuse e-liquids over time from materials used in Vuse products that have contact with the e-liquid or aerosol. Levels of constituents in Vuse products were compared to those in other marketed vapor products, as well as to levels in combustible cigarette smoke. The results of these studies show what constituents users may be exposed to and in what quantities, and are important for estimating the potential health risks of vapor product use.
The results of these studies demonstrate that overall levels of aerosol constituents in the studied products were lower than those found in combustible cigarette smoke and similar to other closed e-cigarette ENDS products marketed in the U.S.
Preclinical Studies: RJRV has conducted and submitted to FDA nonclinical toxicological analyses of Vuse aerosols to determine their effects on living cells. These include the Ames mutagenicity assay, which is used to test whether a chemical can cause various types of DNA mutations; the neutral red uptake cytotoxicity assay, which is used to test whether chemicals or mixtures cause toxic responses that may lead to cell death; and the in vitro micronucleus genotoxicity assay, which detects whether chemicals or mixtures disrupt chromosomal structure or replication. These types of in vitro evaluations are established and integral components of FDA oversight across the agency’s historically regulated product sectors, and were conducted in accordance with ICH and OECD guidelines as available.
The results of these in vitro evaluations demonstrate that aerosols from the studied products are non-mutagenic, non-genotoxic, and either non-cytotoxic or markedly less cytotoxic than combustible cigarettes.
Clinical Studies: RJRV has conducted and submitted to FDA human studies of Vuse product use in clinical settings to assess abuse liability and nicotine pharmacokinetics, biomarkers of exposure and potential harm, adverse events, and user topography. These studies, which are based on actual human use of the products, are important for understanding the potential impact of Vuse products on both users and nonusers. The clinical studies sponsored by RJRV include assessments of:
- Nicotine Pharmacokinetics, to understand how Vuse products deliver nicotine over time and how such delivery compares to other vapor products, combustible cigarettes, and FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapy medications;
- Abuse Liability, defined by FDA as the likelihood that individuals will develop physical and/or psychological dependence on a tobacco product;
- Biomarkers of Exposure, which allow measurement of systemic exposures to nicotine and other chemicals during tobacco product use;
- Biomarkers of Potential Harm, to assess early biological effects related to tobacco product exposure that could eventually lead to the development of disease;
- Adverse Events, which are unfavorable changes in health that occur during a clinical trial and include determinations by independent clinicians of whether such adverse events were related or unrelated to use of the trial product; and
- User Topography, to understand how people actually use Vuse products, including measurements of how many puffs users take, the length of each puff, and the intensity of puffing.
With regard to nicotine pharmacokinetics and abuse liability, these studies demonstrate that the studied products deliver nicotine over time at a rate and level that is slower and lower than the delivery of combustible cigarettes, quicker and higher than the delivery of nicotine replacement therapy medications, and similar to other other closed e-cigarette ENDS products marketed in the U.S.
Biomarker studies demonstrate that adult cigarette smokers who switch completely to use of the studied products likely leads to decreased exposure to tobacco smoke constituents in users.
Adverse events observed in clinical studies of the studied products were generally mild in severity, resolved prior to completion of the studies, and the majority were not deemed related to use of the trial products.
Studies of use topography of these products support the selected non-intense and intense puffing regimens as representative of low and high use conditions. Specifically, the topography study results demonstrated that, in users of the product, the mean puff duration is similar to, or lower than, the puff duration for the non-intense puffing regimen. Therefore, it is likely that the levels of toxicants from a machine-generated study are overestimations of the toxicants to which the user may be exposed during the use of these products.
Statistical Modeling: RJRV has also conducted and submitted to FDA statistical modeling of the population health effects of Vuse products. This modeling integrates estimates of individual health risk based on other types of evidence, as well as observed rates of product adoption, product switching, and other use behaviors, to provide a robust estimate of the effects of Vuse products on the population as a whole.
The results of these statistical models demonstrate that the marketing of these products likely provides a net positive benefit to the population as a whole when current adult smokers reduce their cigarette consumption or switch completely to use of these products.
