结局指标
主要结局
Change in total severity score of throat irritation for subjective and objective symptoms during the clinical investigation (comparison between verum and placebo)
时间窗: Day 1 vs Day 4
A total severity score for throat irritation will be calculated at each visit as the sum of the subjective and objective symptoms. Each of the four criteria on a scale from 0 to 4: 1\. soreness, 2. difficulty swallowing (rated by the subject), 3. mucosal swelling of the throat and 4. oropharyngeal color (erythema) (assessed by the investigator)
次要结局
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo with respect to the subjective symtoms of throat soreness and difficulty swallowing(Day 1 vs. Day 7±1 and Day 1 vs. Day 14±1)
- Global judgement of efficacy by the investigator(Day 1 vs. Day 2, Day 1 vs. Day 7, Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the recovery time(Day 1 vs. Day 7 and Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the presence of Metapneumovirus and Bocavirus(Day 1 vs. Day 4)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo by analysing the detection of viruses(Day 1 vs. Day 2,Day 1 vs. Day 4, Day 1 vs. Day 7 and Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the proportion of rebound after treatment phase(Day 1 vs. Day 7 and Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the need for further medical intervention or treatments such as rescue therapy or pain medication(Day 1 vs. Day 7 and Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Global judgement of efficacy by the patient(Day 1 vs. Day 2, Day 1 vs. Day 7, Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the objective symptoms of mucous swelling and oropharyngeal color (erythema)(Day 1 vs. Day 7±1 and Day 1 vs. Day 14±1)
- Evaluate the efficacy of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse compared to Placebo regarding the proportion of expansion of the symptoms (e.g., subsequent bronchitis)(Day 1 vs. Day 7 and Day 1 vs. Day 14)
- Evaluate the safety of the Verum Mouth and Throat Rinse in adult subjects with acute sore throat (upper respiratory tract infection e.g., pharyngitis/laryngitis)(Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 7±1, Day 14±1)
