About this study

Official title: Antiviral and Chinese Medicinal Herbs Treatment on Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection: Multi-centre, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Chinese medicinal herbs are effective and safe for treating novel influenza A (H1N1) infection.

Read the detailed description

The antiviral agent, oseltamivir, is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to treat recent outbreak novel influenza A (H1N1) virus infection around world. But limited stock and resistant strain emergence raised increasing concerns. Chinese medicinal herbs, are derived from plants and usually incorporate one or more herbs as the basic drug(s) to treat the disease. The investigators performed RCT to indicate that Chinese medicinal herbs was effective and safe for treating novel influenza A (H1N1) infection.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

time to resolution of fever (the period from start of study-drug to relief of fever) (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00935194, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
