What is being measured

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

  1. AUC value of the change in the symptom severity according to the WURSS-21 questionnaire

    Dynamics of symptoms severity according to the WURSS-21 is assessed using the Area under the curve (AUC) for the score for 3, 5, 7 and 10 days of the treatment.

Symptoms domain consists of 10 items: Runny nose, Plugged nose, Sneezing, Sore throat, Scratchy throat, Cough, Hoarseness, Head congestion, Chest congestion, Feeling tired. Ability domain consists of 9 items: Think clearly, Sleep well, Breathe easily, Walk, climb stairs, exercise, Accomplish daily activities, Work outside the home, Work inside the home, Interact with others, Live your personal life. The first 20 items are scored according to the 8-point scale (from 0 to 7). The last item is scored according to the 7-point scale: (from 0 to 6). Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

A Phase 3 study testing Broncho-munal® in people with Acute Uncomplicated Respiratory Tract Infections, run by Sandoz at 13 sites in Russia.

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 11 inclusion and 32 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 4 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Russia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

AUC value of the change in the symptom severity according to the WURSS-21 questionnaire (time frame: by 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after the start of therapy). 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 4 Aug 2023.
