- Interventions
- Other: PlaceboDrug: Polyoxidonium 6 mg/ml
- Registration Number
- NCT03840135
- Lead Sponsor
- NPO Petrovax
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is is to demonstrate superiority of Polyoxidonium, nasal and sublingual spray, 6 mg/ml over placebo in children aged from 1 to 12 years with acute respiratory viral infections. This is a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study.
- Detailed Description
This is a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy of Polyoxidonium spray 6 mg/ml on acute respiratory viral infections symptoms in children population. A study will last for 13 days (maximum) for each participant and will include 6 visits: Day 0 (Screening), Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 8 ±1, Day 12 ±1. Express tests will be performed at the screening visit to exclude subjects with influenza or streptococcal infection. All eligible subjects will be treated with Polyoxidonium spray 6 mg/ml or placebo spray for 7 days. Clinical blood and urine tests will be performed at days 0 and 8 ±1. Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) will be filled in at days 0, 1, 3, 5 and 8 ±1. Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS) will be filled in by investigator and a parent/adopter at day 8 ±1. Adverse events information will be collected at days 1, 3, 8 ±1 and 12 ±1.

Group Intervention Description Placebo Placebo Placebo, nasal and sublingual spray - 7 days. Polyoxidonium 6 mg/ml Polyoxidonium 6 mg/ml Polyoxidonium 6 mg/ml nasal and sublingual spray - 0,15 mg/kg daily - 7 days.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Fever Duration (With a Superiority Cut-off Level δ=-0,52 Days) Day 8±1 Normalization of body temperature (axillary body temperature level ≤ 36,9 °C confirmed by two consecutive measurements (morning-evening/evening-morning)) will be considered as the end of fever
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in Intoxication Symptoms by 3 Day of Treatment Due to Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) Day 3 A total number of patients (NP) without symptoms due to "General intoxication symptoms" domain of the Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) was evaluated.
A total number of patients (NP) with mild symptoms due to "General intoxication symptoms" domain of SAS (1 point according SAS) was evaluated.
A total number of patients (NP) with moderate symptoms due to "General intoxication symptoms" domain of SAS (2 point according SAS) was be evaluated.
A total number of patients (NP) with severe symptoms due to "General intoxication symptoms" domain of SAS (3 point according SAS) was evaluated.
Domain "General intoxication symptoms" includes the following symptoms:
* altered/decreased activity;
* altered appetite;
* unhealthy appearance;
* altered or interrupted sleep.
Each symptom may be graded by the following points:
* 0 points - absent;
* 1 point - mild;
* 2 points - moderate;
* 3 points - severe.Number of Patients Discontinued From the Study Due to Requirement for Antibacterial Therapy Day 8±1 Number of patients who discontinued from the study due to requirement for antibacterial therapy
Number of Patients With Clinical Improvement (Symptom Assessment Scale Total Score ≤ 3) by 5 Day of Treatment Day 5 Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS) consists of 3 domains:
1. Domain "General intoxication symptoms" (altered/increased activity/dysfunctional behavior; altered appetite or food refusal; unhealthy or alter from common appearance; altered or interrupted sleep);
2. "Nose symptoms" (nasal discharge; nasal congestion; impaired nasal airflow; sneezing);
3. "Throat and thoracic symptoms" (hoarseness; sore throat; cough). The higher scores mean a worse outcome. The total score is the sum of points of each symptom graded in Symptom Assessment Scale. The maximum possible value of the total score is 30 points, the minimum possible value of the total score is 0 points.
Each symptom may be graded by the following points:
* 0 points - absent;
* 1 point - mild;
* 2 points - moderate;

* 1 point - mild;
* 2 points - moderate;
* 3 points - severe. Number of patients (NP) without nasal discharge symptom by 3 and 5 day of treatment (score on the scale 0 point), Number of patients (NP) with mild nasal discharge symptom by 3 and 5 day of treatment (score on the scale 1 points) Number of patients (NP) with moderate nasal discharge symptom by 3 and 5 day of treatment (score on the scale 2 points) Number of patients (NP) with severe nasal discharge symptom by 3 and 5 day of treatment (score on the scale 3 points)Assessment of Treatment Results With Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS) Performed by Investigator Day 8±1 Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS) is used to assess treatment efficacy and has the following gradations of health condition:
0 points - absolute recovery;
1. point - significant improvement;
2. points - slight to moderate improvement;
3. points - unchanged;
4. points - decline. The results is presented in number of patients with 0 points (absolute recovery), number of patients with 1 points (significant improvement), number of patients with 2 points (slight to moderate improvement), number of patients with 3 points (unchanged), number ot patients with 4 points (decline) by day 8 according IMOS.Assessment of Treatment Results With Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS) Performed by Parent/Adopter Day 8±1 Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale (IMOS) is used to assess treatment efficacy and has the following gradations of health condition:
0 points - absolute recovery;
1. point - significant improvement;
2. points - slight to moderate improvement;
3. points - unchanged;
4. points - decline. The results is presented in number of patients with 0 points (absolute recovery), number of patients with 1 points (significant improvement), number of patients with 2 points (slight to moderate improvement), number of patients with 3 points (unchanged), number ot patients with 4 points (decline) by day 8 according IMOS.
