About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Arm, Double-Blind, Multicentre, Phase 4 Study to Assess the Efficacy of OM-85 (Broncho-Vaxom) Short- and Long-Term Treatment vs. Placebo in the Prevention of Respiratory Tract Infections in Children Aged Between 6 Months and 5 Years With Wheezing Lower Respiratory Illness

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of OM-85 compared to placebo in reducing the number of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in children aged between 6 months and 5 years.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 4, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of short- and long-term treatment with OM-85.

The study will consist of screening (up to 20 days before randomisation), Treatment period of 12 months, and an Observational period of 6 months.

The subjects will be randomised in a ratio of 1:1:1 ratio to receive either OM-85 for 12 consecutive months (BV-12 arm), or OM-85 for 3 consecutive months followed by matching placebo for 9 consecutive months (BV-3 arm), or placebo for 12 consecutive months (Placebo arm).

The expected duration of subject participation is 18 months (+20 days).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing OM-85 in people with Respiratory Tract Infections and Wheezing Lower Respiratory Illness, run by OM Pharma SA at 42 sites in 6 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 22 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 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 42 sites in Poland, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom, Italy and 1 more country. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Rate of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) (time frame: 12 Months). 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 Sep 2026.
