Arms & Interventions

ColdZyme

Active Comparator

ColdZyme® Mouth Spray. The IP should be applied every second hour up to 6 times, with each time 2 sprays (1 dose) per occasion.

The IP use should start when following conditions have been fulfilled:

  • Answering "Yes" to either of the questions in the subject daily diary: "Do you think/feel you have a cold?" or "Do you think/feel you are coming down with a cold (might be having the first signs of cold)?" AND
  • A Jackson score of at least 1 in the subject's cold diary (mild = present, but not disturbing or irritating) for any symptom except headache

The IP should be used until 2 days after the subject is symptom free (=answering "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?" for 2 days in a row), but not longer than 10 days in total.

Intervention: ColdZyme (Device)

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

Water based mouth spray manufactured to be similar to ColdZyme® Mouth Spray. The IP should be applied every second hour up to 6 times, with each time 2 sprays (1 dose) per occasion.

The IP use should start when following conditions have been fulfilled:

  • Answering "Yes" to either of the questions in the subject daily diary: "Do you think/feel you have a cold?" or "Do you think/feel you are coming down with a cold (might be having the first signs of cold)?" AND
  • A Jackson score of at least 1 in the subject's cold diary (mild = present, but not disturbing or irritating) for any symptom except headache

The IP should be used until 2 days after the subject is symptom free (=answering "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?" for 2 days in a row), but not longer than 10 days in total.

Intervention: ColdZyme Placebo (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

WURSS-21 QoL sub score

Time Frame: Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

The primary endpoint is the AUC of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey (WURSS-21) Quality of Life composite subscore during first 8 days of symptoms, to be assessed in comparison between verum and placebo.

Secondary Outcomes

  • 1. Composite daily severity of all symptoms within the Jackson score(Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms))
  • AUC days 1-8 composite daily severity of all local symptoms within the Jackson score (mean of morning and evening)(Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms))
  • 2. Exposure to any concomitant treatment (including natural health products) that may affect common cold symptoms(Days 1-4 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms))
  • Other secondary endpoints: AUC days 1-8 for each single WURSS-21 QoL subscore item(Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms))
  • Assessment of symptom sore throat per Sore Throat Scale(Days 1-8)
  • Percentage of subjects with confirmed common cold at Visit 2(1-3 days after symptom start)
  • Global evaluation of efficacy by subjects and investigators at study end(From enrolment through study completion, maximum 16 weeks)
  • AUC days 1-8 composite daily severity of each individual symptom of the Jackson score (mean of morning and evening)(Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms))
  • Assessment of symptom intensity(Days 1-4)
  • Frequency of subjects with use of concomitant treatment that may affect common cold symptoms or any medication/treatment known to affect common cold symptoms - at any dose(Days 1-4)
  • Assessment of duration of first intense phase(From enrolment through study completion, maximum 16 weeks)
