Varenicline in smokers with diabetes: A pooled analysis of 15 randomized, placebo‐controlled studies of varenicline

Abstract: Aims/IntroductionStopping smoking deserves high priority in preventing complications of diabetes; however, only sparse data are available regarding the efficacy of pharmacotherapy in smokers with diabetes. We assessed the efficacy and safety of varenicline in smokers with diabetes who participated in 15 double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled studies.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective pooled analysis included data from smokers of ≥10 cigarettes per day with diabetes. Participants received varenicline… Show more

“…Numerous large randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of brief counseling in smoking cessation, including the use of telephone quit lines, in reducing tobacco use. Pharmacologic therapy to assist with smoking cessation in people with diabetes has been shown to be effective (172), and for the patient motivated to quit, the addition of pharmacologic therapy to counseling is more effective than either treatment alone (173). Special considerations should include assessment of level of nicotine dependence, which is associated with difficulty in quitting and relapse (174).…”

“…There is a dearth of evidence of efficacy on tailored smoking interventions for diabetic patients (Nagrebetsky, Brettell, Roberts, & Farmer, ). However, a retrospective pooled analysis of 15 RCTs examining the efficacy of the smoking cessation drug varenicline in smokers with diabetes showed a higher abstinence rate in the intervention arm compared to the placebo group at 3 months (43.8% and 24.8%, respectively) (Tonstad & Lawrence, ). The abstinence rate markedly declined to 18.4% after 1‐year follow‐up in the varenicline‐treated group (Tonstad & Lawrence, ), suggesting short‐term benefit.…”

Psychotherapeutic approaches to quit smoking in people with diabetes showed a success rate between 17%–50% (Canga et al., ; Hokanson, Anderson, Hennrikus, Lando, & Kendall, ; Persson & Hjalmarson, ; Thankappan et al., ).…”
