Study Summary

This pilot randomized clinical trial studies how well bupropion hydrochloride works compared with patient's choice for quitting smoking in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. Bupropion hydrochloride may help patients quit smoking by enhancing central nervous system neurotransmitters noradrenergic and dopaminergic release. It is not yet known whether bupropion hydrochloride is more effective than patient's choice in helping quit smoking in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome

Observed rates of patients who are not smoking at 12 months and corresponding 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence intervals will be estimated. Next, will perform a Fisher's exact test to determine whether the proportion of patients who are not smoking at 12 months post-RT/CRT in the bupropion hydrochloride group and the patient's choice group are different.
