DTheir clinical trials had already tested candidate nicotine vaccines, but they were unsuccessful. Recently, however, researchers have obtained encouraging results on this type of vaccine: the new formulation reduces and delays the effects of nicotine on the brain of mice. For many smokers, quitting smoking is a real obstacle course. Nicotine patches and chewing gums aren't always effective, and some smokers turn to drugs that target the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. However, these drugs can cause side effects like hallucinations, depression, or mood swings.
This is why the idea of targeting the nicotine molecule with a vaccine can represent an interesting alternative. Recently, two clinical trials testing vaccines failed. Still, the scientists learned from these failures and detected room for improvement: in these trials, people who produced the most anti-nicotine antibodies were more likely to quit smoking for more than six months. .
