简要总结
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of OM-85 compared to placebo in reducing the number of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in children aged between 6 months and 5 years.
详细描述
This is a Phase 4, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of short- and long-term treatment with OM-85.
The study will consist of screening (up to 20 days before randomisation), Treatment period of 12 months, and an Observational period of 6 months.
The subjects will be randomised in a ratio of 1:1:1 ratio to receive either OM-85 for 12 consecutive months (BV-12 arm), or OM-85 for 3 consecutive months followed by matching placebo for 9 consecutive months (BV-3 arm), or placebo for 12 consecutive months (Placebo arm).
The expected duration of subject participation is 18 months (+20 days).
