Relapse Prevention Study in Newly Abstinent Smokers

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GSK598809 compared to placebo for the prevention of relapse to smoking in recently abstinent smokers. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will enter a 4-week open label treatment period during which they will receive nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Subjects who have achieved at least one week of abstinence during the last week of an open label treatment period will be randomized to either GSK598809 or placebo in the double-blind treatment period and followed for another 12 weeks.
