What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
24-Hour Cough Frequency
Assessed using an ambulatory cough monitor
Measured: at Week 4
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change from Baseline in Cough Severity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at Week 2 and Week 4;
Assessed by Cough Severity Visual Analogue Scale [VAS] by the participant on a 100 mm visual analog scale where higher scores indicate greater severity.
Measured: at Week 2 and Week 4
Change from Baseline in the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) Total Score at Week 2 and Week 4.
The LCQ is a patient-reported quality of life (QOL) measure of chronic cough，the higher scores mean a better outcome.
Measured: at Week 2 and Week 4

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing HW091077 in people with Refractory Chronic Cough, run by Hubei Bio-Pharmaceutical Industrial Technological Institute Inc..
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 6 inclusion and 12 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2026. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
24-Hour Cough Frequency (time frame: at Week 4). 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 19 Mar 2026.
