Prevention With Ismigen of RTIs in Kids (PIRTIK)

2026年7月6日 更新者:Lallemand Pharma AG

A Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Study to Demonstrate the Efficacy of PMBL® Sublingual Tablets in Reducing the Incidence of Respiratory Tract Infections in Children Aged 3-12 Years (PIRTIK).

Although the efficacy of PMBL® sublingual tablets is evident to most prescribers, the clinical studies available to demonstrate the efficacy of this bacterial lysate in preventing recurrent respiratory tract infections have undeniable methodological biases. To demonstrate the efficacy of PMBL® in the pediatric population without questionable bias, a randomized double-blind Placebo-controlled study will be conducted: one arm of children presenting with a risk of recurrent respiratory tract infections will be treated with PMBL® for a 3-month period, 10 days per months during the fall-winter whereas subjects of the Placebo arm will receive sublingual tablet indistinguishable from PMBL® but without active ingredients. Both groups of subjects will be followed for four additional months. To improve the accuracy of data and the tracking of respiratory tract infections (RTI), a diary will be provided to each subject, allowing them to report the event as soon as it occurs. If necessary, a visit may be planned to enable the investigator to assess the event accurately.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the leading cause of acute disease incidence worldwide that affect people of all ages. They are usually caused by viral pathogens, the most common of which including rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, adenoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza viruses. Bacterial pathogens can also cause RTIs, but they are less common. Various studies show the seasonality of RTIs. Influenza tends to occur in late autumn and winter, while other RTIs have a much more diffuse occurrence throughout the year. Although RTIs are usually not life-threatening, they significantly decrease quality of life and represent a substantial proportion of healthcare visits, mainly in women and young children, contributing to a financial burden on society.

Ismigen® (Polyvalent Mechanical Bacterial Lysate; PMBL) which is manufactured by mechanical lysis is currently authorized in two EU Member States (MS), Italy and Poland, where Lallemand Pharma Europe is the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) as sublingual tablets for the prophylaxis of recurrent RTI in adults. It is authorized in Poland in children from 3 years of age.

On 27 June 2019, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended that bacterial lysates-containing medicinal products authorized for respiratory conditions should only be used for the prevention of recurrent respiratory tract infections, with the exception of pneumonia. This followed a review in which EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) considered the results of clinical studies, data on side effects reported with these medicines, and advice from an expert group on infectious diseases. Although data are limited, the review found some evidence of effectiveness of bacterial lysates in the prevention of recurrent RTI together with a safety profile in line with what is expected for this type of product. The CHMP therefore recommended that use of bacterial lysates for prevention can continue, but the companies must provide further data on safety and effectiveness by Q1 2026 through the conduct of phase IV double-blind, multicenter, RCTs in this indication.

The present study is a Post-Authorization Efficacy Study (PAES) designed to demonstrate that PMBL® sublingual tablet used according to the SmPC instructions can reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections in children 3 to 12 years old during the fall and winter period when compared to a matched Placebo.
