Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a registry entry for an active but not yet recruiting Veterans Affairs trial of a proactive interactive voice response quit line intervention (TeaM OUT) versus enhanced usual care for smokers with newly identified lung nodules. No results are posted; the study aims to determine whether a teachable moment intervention increases smoking cessation service uptake and 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 56 weeks.
Interventional, Randomized, Sequential, Open label, Health Services Research purpose. Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Multiple Pulmonary Nodules, Tobacco Use; age from 18 Years. Intervention: TeaM OUT Intervention; Enhanced Usual Care. Compared with: Enhanced usual care: Letter with information on how to contact the IVR quit line. n = 223. 3 sites: United States.

Results, when reported, will inform whether combining nodule diagnosis notification with proactive IVR-based smoking cessation outreach improves service engagement and quit rates in Veterans. This design capitalizes on a teachable moment to address tobacco use.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04574518). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 223 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Solitary Pulmonary Nodule, Multiple Pulmonary Nodules, Tobacco Use. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: TeaM OUT Intervention; BEHAVIORAL: Enhanced Usual Care. Primary outcome measures: IVR connection to smoking cessation service , 56 weeks after nodule identification; 7-day point prevalence nicotine abstinence , 56 weeks after exposure to TeaM OUT Intervention or Enhanced Usual Care. Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation outreach intervention (TeaM OUT) on increasing use of smoking cessation resources in Veterans. The hypotheses are 1) patients included in the TeaM OUT group will have higher accession of cessation services, such as counseling and medication therapies, compared to patients in enhanced usual care and 2) more patients in the TeaM OUT group will have quit smoking at one year after the intervention. Veterans with a recently diagnosed lung nodule who currently smoke will receive the TeaM OUT intervention or Enhanced Usual Care. The TeaM OUT intervention has 2 parts: 1) a letter that a) describes the nodule and the importance of cessation related to the pulmonary nodule (i.e. teachable moment) and b) notification that a Proactive IVR Quit Line will initiate contact and 2) call(s) from the Proactive IVR Quit Line which a) offers smoking cessation resources and b) helps connect the patient to those resources. The enhanced usual care group will receive a letter that provides information about how to contact the IVR Quit Line. The IVR system will track referrals to cessation services. Additional information about smoking status and use of cessation resources will be collected from the electronic health record and surveys.
