Primary | Total Symptom Score (TSS) Over Days 2 to 4 (TSS2-4) | The total symptom score (TSS) is the sum of the 8 single common cold symptom scores consisting of 3 systemic (headache, muscle ache and chilliness) and 5 local (sore throat, blocked nose, runny nose, cough and sneezing) symptoms. Each common cold symptom was scored on a 4-point ordinal scale: 0 = symptom not present 1 = mild symptom (I can feel it but it has not disturbed or irritated me) 2 = moderate symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me some of the time) 3 = severe symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me most of the time) The mean over days 2 to 4 (TSS2-4) was calculated as (TSS2 + TSS3 + TSS4)/3 where TSS2, TSS3 and TSS4 are the total symptom scores calculated for days 2, 3 and 4 respectively. TSS2-4 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 24 (severe symptoms). |
Days 2, 3 and 4 | No |
Secondary | Mean of the Sum of 3 Single Systemic Common Cold Symptom Scores Over Days 2 to 4 (SSS2-4) | The mean of the sum of 3 single systemic common cold symptom scores (headache, muscle ache, chilliness). Each common cold symptom was scored on a 4-point ordinal scale: 0 = symptom not present 1 = mild symptom (I can feel it but it has not disturbed or irritated me) 2 = moderate symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me some of the time) 3 = severe symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me most of the time) The mean of the sum of 3 single systemic common cold symptom scores over days 2-4 was calculated as (SSS2 + SSS3 + SSS4)/3 where SSS2, SSS3 and SSS4 are the systemic common cold symptom scores calculated for days 2, 3 and 4 respectively. SSS2-4 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 9 (severe symptoms). |
Days 2, 3 and 4 | No |
Secondary | Mean of the Sum of 5 Single Local Common Cold Symptom Scores Mean Over Days 2 to 4 (LSS2-4) | The mean of the sum of 5 single local common cold symptom scores (sore throat, blocked nose, runny nose, cough and sneezing). Each common cold symptom was scored on a 4-point ordinal scale: 0 = symptom not present 1 = mild symptom (I can feel it but it has not disturbed or irritated me) 2 = moderate symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me some of the time) 3 = severe symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me most of the time) The mean of the sum of 5 single local common cold symptom scores over days 2 to 4 was calculated as (LSS2 + LSS3 + LSS4)/3 where LSS2, LSS3 and LSS4 are the local common cold symptom scores calculated for days 2, 3 and 4 respectively. LSS2-4 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 15 (severe symptoms). |
Days 2, 3 and 4 | No |
Secondary | Area Under the Curve (AUC) Over the 10-day Period for the TSS (AUC-TSS 1-10) | The total symptom score (TSS) is the sum of the 8 single common cold symptom scores consisting of 3 systemic (headache, muscle ache and chilliness) and 5 local (sore throat, blocked nose, runny nose, cough and sneezing) symptoms. Each common cold symptom was scored on a 4-point ordinal scale: 0 = symptom not present 1 = mild symptom (I can feel it but it has not disturbed or irritated me) 2 = moderate symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me some of the time) 3 = severe symptom (symptom has disturbed and irritated me most of the time) The Area under the curve (AUC) over the 10-day period for the total symptom score (AUC-TSS 1-10) was calculated as the sum of the TSS calculated on each day from day 1 to day 10. AUC-TSS 1-10 ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 270 (severe symptoms). |
Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 | No |
Secondary | Duration of the Cold | Duration of the common cold was assessed by the question "Do you still have a cold?" at the end of each treatment day. The duration of the cold was defined as ended by the first day of a "No" answer to this daily question. | Baseline up to 10 days | No |
Secondary | Patient Overall Assessment of Efficacy | Patient overall assessment of efficacy was assessed by the question "How effective was the treatment in relieving your common cold symptoms?" at day 10. A 5-point scale was used (0=poor, 1=fair, 2=good, 3=very good, 4=excellent). | Day 10 | No |
