What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Difference in the Jackson scale between the study groups
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Jackson scale - total score, local symptoms, systemic symptoms, 2-item score (sore throat & malaise) as recorded in subject diary twice daily, morning and evening).
The Jackson score is calculated by summing the following 8 symptom scores: sore throat, blocked nose, runny nose, cough and sneezing (local symptoms) as well as headache, malaise, and chilliness (systemic symptoms).
Symptoms are assessed on a 4-point scale: 0 = none (symptom not present), 1 = mild (sensible, but not disturbing or irritating), 2 = moderate (symptoms sometimes disturbing/irritating), 3 = severe (symptoms disturbing/ irritating most of the time).
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Difference in WURSS-21 Quality of Life sub score between the study groups
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
WURSS-21 Quality of Life (QoL) recorded in subject diary once daily, in the evening.
WURSS-21 is an evaluative illness-specific quality of life instrument with 21 items, designed to assess the negative impact of acute upper respiratory infection, presumed viral (the common cold).
In this study, the QoL part of the WURSS-21 will be applied, from item 12 ("think clearly") to item 20 ("live your personal life").
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Difference in the Sore Throat Scale between the study groups
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
The Sore Throat Scale is a 0-10 Likert scale where 0=not sore and 10=very sore.
Recorded in subject diary twice daily, morning and evening.
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Difference in the Irritated Throat Scale between the study groups
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Irritated Throat Scale is a 0-10 Likert scale where 0=not irritated and 10=very irritated.
Recorded in subject diary twice daily, morning and evening.
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Percentage of subjects with prevention of cold outburst
Time Frame: Within 3 days from symptom start
|
Based on the assessment of the symptoms recorded in the diary by means of the specified criteria for a common cold episode, as well as the evaluation of any symptoms by the investigator at V2 (whether they are attributable to common cold), the percentage of subjects with prevention of common cold outburst (upon originally having experienced initial symptoms) will be assessed.
|
Within 3 days from symptom start
|
Difference in number of findings during physical examination compared between the study groups
Time Frame: From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Physical examination will be performed using standard products and procedures at all study visits.
Physical examination by standard clinical examination of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, eyes, respiratory tract, lymph nodes, musculoskeletal system, neurological functions, urogenital tract, thyroid gland and skin.
|
From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Blood pressure (mmHg) compared between the study groups
Time Frame: From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Sitting blood pressure (mmHg), systolic and diastolic, will be measured using standard products and procedures at all study visits.
|
From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Pulse rate (bpm) compared between the study groups
Time Frame: From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Pulse rate (bpm) will be measured using standard products and procedures at all study visits.
|
From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Number of subjects with adverse events
Time Frame: From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Any AE that occurs during the course of the study.
|
From randomisation through study completion, maximum 16 weeks
|
Number of device deficiencies
Time Frame: During IP use, maximum 12 days from symptom start
|
Device deficiencies occurring in the active group (verum)
|
During IP use, maximum 12 days from symptom start
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Duration of common cold symptoms
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Number of days since start of cold symptoms until the end of the symptoms (defined as the last day with one or more symptoms followed by at least two symptom-free days (subjects have to answer "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?"
for 2 days in a row)).
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Use of concomitant treatment/remedies
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Use of any concomitant treatment/remedies, reported in subject diary once daily, in the evening
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
Global evaluation of efficacy by subjects at study end
Time Frame: 16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
|
The subjects in the verum group will evaluate the efficacy of the IP (global scaled evaluation with "very good", "good", "moderate" and "poor") at study end.
|
16+/-4 days from start of common cold symptoms
