Primary Outcome Measures :
- 4-Week Continuous Abstinence Rate: Percentage of Participants Who Remained Abstinent From Week 9 Through Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 9 through Week 12 ]The percentage of participants who, at each visit from Week 9 through Week 12, reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products since the last study visit (on the Nicotine Use Inventory) and at each of these visits were confirmed to have quit based on urine cotinine less than 200 nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL).
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of Participants With 7-Day Point Prevalence of Smoking Abstinence at Weeks 12, 24 and 52 [ Time Frame: Weeks 12, 24 and 52 ]The percentage of participants who reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products (treatment phase) or tobacco products (non-treatment phase) on the Nicotine Use Inventory in the 7 days prior to the study visits or telephone contacts at Week 12,24 and 52.
- Daily Number of Cigarettes Smoked at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]The average number of cigarettes smoked per day in the past 7 days reported at the baseline visit.
- Change From Baseline in Daily Number of Cigarettes Smoked at Weeks 12, 24, and 52 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, and 52 ]The reduction in the number of the cigarettes smoked was calculated by subtracting the reported average number of cigarettes smoked per day in the past 7 days at Weeks 12, 24 and 52 from the average number of cigarettes smoked per day in the past 7 days reported at the baseline visit.
- Continuous Abstinence Rate: Percentage of Participants Who Remained Abstinent From Week 9 Through Week 24 and Week 52 [ Time Frame: Week 9 through Week 24; Week 9 through Week 52 ]The percentage of participants who, at each visit from Week 9 to 52 (inclusive), reported no smoking and no use of other nicotine-containing products (Weeks 9-12) or tobacco products (Weeks 13-52) since the last study visit/last contact (on the Nicotine Use Inventory) and at any of the study visits were confirmed to have quit based on urine cotinine less than 200 ng/mL.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: First dose up to last dose (up-to Week 12) plus 30 days ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious AE (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both non-serious AEs and SAEs.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: First dose up to last dose (up-to Week 12) plus 30 days ]Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness to drug Varenicline was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an AE within a category were counted once within the category. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. A serious AE (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. AEs included both non-serious AEs and SAEs.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Neuropsychiatric Adverse Event Elicited by Neuropsychiatric Adverse Event Interview (NAEI) [ Time Frame: First dose up to last dose (up-to Week 12) plus 30 days ]An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. SAE: AE causing: death; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent/significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Solicited AEs collected by semi-structured NAEI inquiring about AEs: depression, anxiety, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, psychosis, mania, panic, agitation, dissociative states, feeling abnormal, hostility, aggression and homicidal ideation. If a participant had a positive response to any item on the NAEI, investigator determined if it met criteria AE criteria.
- Number of Participants With Categorical Scores on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [ Time Frame: Screening, Baseline, Week 1 up to Week 12 (treatment-emergent [TE]), thereafter up to Week 52 (last follow-up [FU]) ]The C-SSRS (mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) categories);was an interview-based instrument to systematically assess suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior.C-SSRS assessed whether participant experienced any of the following:completed suicide;suicide attempt(response of "Yes" on "actual attempt");preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior ("Yes" on "preparatory acts or behavior","aborted attempt" or "interrupted attempt"),suicidal ideation ("Yes" on "wish to be dead","non-specific active suicidal thoughts","active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act,without specific plan or with specific plan and intent,any self-injurious behavior with no suicidal intent ("Yes" on "Has participant engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior").Here,number of participants with positive response (response of "yes") to suicidal behavior or/and Ideation,any non-suicidal self-injurious behavior were reported.
- Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) - Anxiety (HADS-A) Total Scores at Specified Time-points [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44, and 52 ]The HADS is a self-administered questionnaire measuring anxiety. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Anxiety subscale (HADS-A) consisted of 7 items that were assessed on a scale of 0 = no anxiety to 3 = severe feeling of anxiety. Total HADS-A subscale score range from 0 = no anxiety to 21 = severe anxiety; higher scores indicated more severe anxiety.
- Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Scores - Depression Total Score at Specified Time-Points [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44, and 52 ]Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Depression subscale (HADS-D) consists of 7 items that were assessed on a scale of 0 = no depression to 3 = severe feeling of depression. Total HADS-D subscale score range from 0 = no depression to 21 = severe feeling of depression; higher scores indicated a greater intensity of depression.
- Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 12 ]Criteria for laboratory abnormalities: Lymphocytes Absolute (Abs), Lymphocytes percentage (%), Total Neutrophils (Abs), Neutrophils %: <0.8*LLN or >1.2*ULN; Basophils (Abs), Basophils %Eosinophils (Abs), Eosinophils %, Monocytes (Abs), Monocytes %:> 1.2*ULN; Total Bilirubin milligram per deciliter (mg/dl) >1.5*ULN; alanine aminotransferase: >3.0*ULN; Blood urea nitrogen, Creatinine: >1.3*ULN; Uric acid :> 1.2*ULN.
- Change From Baseline in Blood Pressure (BP) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]Measurement of BP included supine and sitting systolic BP, standing systolic BP, supine and sitting diastolic BP and standing diastolic BP. Blood pressure was taken after participants rested in a sitting position for 5 minutes. BP was recorded after participants had been supine for approximately 5 minutes, and then orthostatic blood pressure was recorded immediately when the participant stood.
- Change From Baseline in Pulse Rate at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]Measurement of pulse rate included supine, sitting and standing pulse rate. Pulse rate was taken after participants rested in a sitting position for 5 minutes. Pulse rate was recorded after participants had been supine for approximately 5 minutes and then immediately upon standing.
