Phase 4
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Wheezing Lower Respiratory Illness
Respiratory Tract Infections
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05677763
Lead Sponsor
OM Pharma SA
Brief Summary

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.

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)
