The company OM Pharma is commencing recruitment for the clinical trial of the OM-85 in Paediatric Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections With Wheezing Lower Respiratory Illness. This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, 3-Arm, double-blind, multicentre, phase 4 Study to Assess the Efficacy of OM-85 (Broncho-Vaxom) Short- and Long-Term Treatment vs. Placebo in the Prevention of Respiratory Tract Infections in Children Aged Between 6 Months and 5 Years With Wheezing Lower Respiratory Illness.

The conditions include respiratory tract infections and wheezing lower respiratory illness. The trial officially began on the December 12, 2022 and is planned to complete by June 30, 2025.
