Filter by:The objective of this investigation is to verify that ColdZyme® is deposited onto the throat and estimate the half-life of the ColdZyme® solution in the oropharynx of human volunteers using a log-linear mixed-effects model (LMM).
This study evaluates the use of various assessments of common cold symptoms for proof of efficacy of ColdZyme Mouth Spray on naturally acquired common colds. Half of the participants will receive ColdZyme® Mouth Spray while the other half may use optional care as needed.
This study evaluates the impact of ColdZyme® Mouth Spray on quality of life during common cold. Half of the participants will receive ColdZyme® Mouth Spray, half will receive a placebo device.
outpatient infants (0-6 months of life), affected by symptoms of upper airways disease will be randomly assigned to two type of intervention: A: treatment group, receiving resveratrol and carbossimetyl beta glucan; B: control group, receiving saline solution. Each subject underwent clinical history, objective examination and detection of rinovirus in the nasal secretions at enrollment, after 48 hours and after 7 and 30 days.
BACKGROUND/SIGNIFICANCE: With developments in mobile health and the abundance of smartphones, online consultations have emerged as a popular form of primary care in Sweden. Controversy exists regarding diagnostic accuracy, appropriate prescription of antibiotics, and effects on care-seeking patient behavior following implementation of online consultations. As empirical research is lacking, the investigators seek to evaluate online primary care consultations compared to physical consultations with regards to non-inferiority of antibiotic prescription for chief complaint of sore throat. METHODS: Medical record data is used to identify patients with a chief complaint of sore throat, cough/common cold/influenza, or dysuria after choosing online (DIGI) or physical (PHYSI) consultations. A cohort of patients with similar chief complaints prior to implementation of online consultations was used as a control group (CONTROL). Prospective data from local registries and medical records was gathered 14 days the consultation. The primary outcome was rate of antibiotic prescription after sore throat. Secondary outcomes included patient revisits (including hospital admissions), patient satisfaction, time to physician contact, registered diagnosis, and documentation or Centor Criteria and Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)-Criteria. SIGNIFICANCE: Results will shed light on whether antibiotic prescription differs significantly between digital and physical primary care consultations. Hypotheses may also be generated as to how patients seek care in light of improved availability in a tax-sponsored healthcare system.
This clinical study will be conducted to characterize the gastrointestinal transit of two multi-symptoms formulations by inclusion of a radiolabel marker.
This is an interventional, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which patients diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis will be randomized to either intranasal stimulation, or placebo treatment with the Chordate System at two occasions.
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of a new formulation of phenylephrine HCl and a currently marketed phenylephrine HCl for relief of nasal congestion in subjects with naturally occurring cold symptoms.
A study to examine the duration of effect of PrEP-001 in healthy subjects challenged with HRV-16
A randomized parallel-group two arm superiority trial with an allocation ratio 1:1, both participants and investigators blinded. The zinc lozenge that will be used in the study is a commercial product available from the University Pharmacy, Helsinki, Finland. The product is classified as a "medical device" and it is not regulated according to the jurisdiction for medicines. Each lozenge contains 13 mg elemental zinc as zinc acetate. The instruction in the commercial package for common cold patients is to dissolve slowly 6 lozenges per day in their mouth, which totals to 78 mg/day of elemental zinc, at most for 5 days. The same instruction will be used in this trial. The University Pharmacy prepared 200 placebo lozenge packages so that the placebo lozenges contain sucrose octaacetate, and they are similar with the zinc lozenges in visual appearance and in taste. 200 packages of zinc lozenges will be used as the active intervention. The packages will contain 30 lozenges (6 lozenges/day × 5 days). The packages of lozenges will be distributed to the enrolled participants in November 2017. The participants will be instructed to keep the package readily available so that, when they catch the common cold, they will find the package and they can start to take the lozenges according to the instructions. The participants will be instructed to start taking zinc lozenges as soon as they start to suffer from the first symptoms of the common cold. The participants will be instructed to take 6 lozenges daily over the time awake, evenly distributed, allowing the lozenge to dissolve in the mouth as slowly as possible. The duration of intervention is for the maximum of 5 days. If the symptoms disappear before 5 days, the participant may stop the usage of the lozenges. There will be no limitations for other treatments that participants wish to use for treating their colds. Participants will be requested to respond to a web-based symptom questionnaire daily from the first day of the treatment to the recovery from the common cold, or to a maximum of 2 weeks.
