Pilot Testing a Computer Delivered Tobacco Cessation Intervention in Outpatient Clinical Settings: A Feasibility Study
NCT05145738 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The investigators have developed a hybrid computer- and person-delivered intervention, called "C-Raven" for smoking cessation that is tailored to people with tobacco use in Baltimore City. The computer delivered component consists of two \~20 minute sessions on an iPad guided by Edna Poe, an interactive avatar. These sessions are followed by elective in vivo initiation of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Community health workers (CHWs) trained in smoking cessation and motivational interviewing provide 6 weeks of supportive follow up counseling. The investigators propose a pilot of the intervention package in the Tobacco Treatment and Lung Cancer Screening Clinic (TTLCSC) at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Johns Hopkins Broadway Center for Addiction, assessing feasibility and acceptability of using this tool in these clinical settings. In addition, the investigators will compare whether the use of a virtual counselor is associated with greater satisfaction and engagement with the program. To this end, the investigators propose a two-arm randomized controlled trial, randomizing up to 90 individuals with tobacco use to the current CRAVEN program which includes a virtual counselor, to CRAVEN without a virtual counselor. Primary outcomes include intervention feasibility and acceptability. The investigators will secondarily examine uptake and maintenance of pharmacotherapy for tobacco cessation, readiness to quit smoking, and tobacco cessation (7 day abstinence) at 6 months, patient satisfaction by intervention arm and CHW engagement by intervention arm.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05145738
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05145738 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 18 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Johns Hopkins University, which has 1,517 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Tobacco Smoking appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which C-Raven with avatar is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05145738 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
