About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Prospective, Multicentric, Superior Efficacy and Safety of Naphazoline Hydrocloride + Pheniramine Maleate + Panthenol Compared With Naphazoline Hydrocloride in the Symptomatic Control of Nasal Congestion and Nasopharyngeal Due to Colds or Other Upper Respiratory Allergies

The common cold is a major cause of nasal obstruction and reaches children and adults two or more times a year. At the moment, there is no cure for the common cold, and therefore the reduction of symptoms is the focus of the treatment.

The study has parallel distribution design, with two equal groups, in which one group will be treated by a combination of naphazoline hydrocloride + pheniramine maleate + panthenol and the other will receive treatment with naphazoline hydrocloride.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of treatment in nasal congestion reduction based on Peak Flow Nasal Inspiratory (PFNI) assay

    The individual response rate to the nasal congestion reduction is calculated by measuring the peak flow nasal inspiratory (PFNI) during the first and last visit.

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety will be evaluated by the Adverse events occurence

    Adverse events will be collected and followed in order to evaluate safety and tolerability

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing naphazoline hydrocloride and Naphazoline hydrocloride + Pheniramine Maleate + Panthenol in people with Flu and Cold, run by EMS.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Efficacy of treatment in nasal congestion reduction based on Peak Flow Nasal Inspiratory (PFNI) assay (time frame: 3 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2019.
