简要总结
In this multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind stuy in which patients with acute pharyngitis will receive Myramistin™ / Placebo, which is provided as a spray. Patients will be randomised at Visit 1 on a 1:1:1:1 basis to one of the three MyramistinTM doses (0.005%, 0.01% and 0.02%) or placebo. The trial duration for an individual patient is 72 hours.
The primary objective is to evaluate the short-term efficacy of different MyramistinTM doses (0.005%, 0.01% and 0.02%) compared to placebo in the symptomatic treatment of acute pharyngitis.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity Differences
时间窗: 2 hours
The primary endpoint is the Summed Pain Intensity Differences (SPID-2Pain), defined as Pain Intensity Differences (PID) summarized over the time course of 2 hours after first application on Day 1 (Baseline). The sum is calculated over the time-weighted differences from each measured time point to baseline after dosing using the 100mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Sore Throat Pain Intensity Scale (STPIS).
