Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy assessment Change from baseline, 3 hours after dosing in the Jackson Total Symptom Score (JTSS)
Time Frame: At 3 hours post dosing
The severity of common cold symptoms will be self-assessed using the Jackson 8 items scale (questionnaire) by the participants on the site. This questionnaire measures the severity of 5 local symptoms (nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, cough, and sore throat) and 3 systemic symptoms (chilliness, headache, malaise) each on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=not present, 1= mild, 2=moderate, 3= severe).
At 3 hours post dosing

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
