About this study

Official title: Kagocel for Oral Administration for the Prevention of Influenza and Other Acute Respiratory Viral Diseases in Young People

This study evaluates the use of Kagocel for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) and influenza during the epidemic rise in the incidence of diseases in Russia in 2018 (epidemiology: the number of cases during the period of Kagocel administration and follow-up, bacterial exacerbations, the number of repeated episodes (reinfection), demographics of patients, safety, adherence to treatment) in students at risk due to stress, lack of sleep and fatigue.

Read the detailed description

This non-interventional prospective study included 75 health students over the age of 18 who had no symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) and influenza at the time of inclusion and had not taken any antiviral medications to prevent ARVI and influenza for 30 days before.

The total duration of the study was 2 months: the first month participants took either Kagocel (the main group), or did not take anything at all (the control group), during the next 1 month all participants were monitored.

The diagnosis of influenza and ARVI has been confirmed in accordance with the world health organization (WHO) guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 and other influenza viruses. All patient examinations are conducted in accordance with local routine clinical practice and local and international standards of care.

By the study were analysed and compared those data between groups:

  • demography
  • anamnesis data (the incidence of ARVI and flu for previous year, the date of the lastest episode of the disease, the presence of concomitant diseases, including ENT-organs, the date of the lastest influenza vaccination).
  • timelines: start of Kagocel's prevention - only for the group receiving Kagocel's prevention; start of the disease; duration of ARVI and influenza symptoms (fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough); start of treatment
  • symptomatic therapy (Yes/no, drug name)
  • bacterial exacerbations (Yes/no)
  • treatment of bacterial exacerbations (Yes/no)
  • adverse events

  2. Number of vaccinated and not vaccinated participants who have ARVI or influenza

    Measured: for the entire study period (for 2 months: for the 1st month of taking Kagocel+ for 1 month of follow-up after the end of the course of prevention)

  3. Index of preventive efficacy for vaccinated participants

    Index of preventive efficacy or I 1 I= P2/P1; P1 - patients (who get disease; %) in the experimental (main) group; P2 - patients (who get disease; %) in the control group.

    Measured: for the entire study period (for 2 months: for the 1st month of taking Kagocel+ for 1 month of follow-up after the end of the course of prevention)

  4. Index of preventive efficacy for not vaccinated participants

    Index of preventive efficacy or I 2 I= P2/P1; P1 - patients (who get disease; %) in the experimental (main) group; P2 - patients (who get disease; %) in the control group.

    Measured: for the entire study period (for 2 months: for the 1st month of taking Kagocel+ for 1 month of follow-up after the end of the course of prevention)

  5. Number of vaccinated and not vaccinated participants who required antibiotic therapy

    Measured: for the entire study period (for 2 months: for the 1st month of taking Kagocel+ for 1 month of follow-up after the end of the course of prevention)
