结局指标
主要结局
Palatability of new flavour - Taste (1)
时间窗: 15 minutes after investigational medicinal product administration
Subject are asked: How do you describe the taste of this medication? The corresponding answer are sweet, salty, sour, bitter.
Palatability of new flavour - Taste (2)
时间窗: 15 minutes after investigational medicinal product administration
Subject are asked: How much do you like the taste of this medication? The corresponding answer are given using a hedonic facial scale i.e. the 7-points rating Chen scale in which descriptive replies are associated to images showing different facial expressions to allow the children to easily quantitate their sensory experiences. For the Chen scale, a numeric score will be assigned by the Investigator as follows: * Very bad = 1 * Bad = 2 * Just a little bad = 3 * Not sure = 4 * Just a little good = 5 * Good = 6 * Very good = 7
