The DUAL Study
The DUAL Study is a research study for cigarette smokers. The research study explores the potential of reducing smokers’ addiction to combustible cigarettes by reducing the nicotine content of tobacco. Study participants will also use e-cigarettes to model real world environments where e-cigarette use is growing. No research drug will be given, but you will be asked to use reduced nicotine cigarettes and an e-cigarette during the course of this study.
The purpose of this research study is:
- To gather information on the number of reduced nicotine cigarettes smoked per day
- To see at what point smokers can first detect nicotine and when smokers can detect a drop in nicotine
- To determine if e-cigarette use is related to the dual use of combustible cigarettes

The Embera Study
The purpose of the Embera study is to see if using a combination of two medications may help you quit smoking. Both medications (metyrapone and oxazepam) are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, but not specifically to help people quit smoking. Metyrapone is a drug used to test hypothalamic-pituitary ACTH function and oxazepam is a drug used to treat anxiety or alcohol withdrawal symptoms. The use of these drugs together is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

The COCO Study
The main purpose of this research study is to compare the measured amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in your exhaled breath between two different CO monitors and compare these to the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood measured directly from a sample of blood from your vein.
