MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effectiveness of Sinutab on the symptom relief of nasal congestion and headache in the setting of a common cold. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To assess the effectiveness of Sinutab on the major symptom complex (MSC) of common cold which consists of 4 signs/symptoms: nasal congestion, headache, sore throat, and pressure around the eyes. 2. To assess the effectiveness of Sinutab on the symptom relief of individual sign/symptoms, including nasal congestion, headache, sore throat, and pressure around the eyes 3. To assess the number of days lost at work or school 4. To assess the effect of Sinutab on the quality of life (day/night) 5. To assess time-to-resolution of common cold 6. Overall safety evaluation

Any important intercurrent medical condition; The subject has given the answers under Medical History 8.1. Bronchial asthma, clinical bronchitis or other significant respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema or diseases requiring any use of assisted ventilation or continuous Positive Airway Pressure. Allergies to household allergens (e.g. dust, pets, etc.) and active seasonal allergies, excepted: (1) non-active seasonal allergies, (2) drug allergies, and (3) food allergies. 8.2. Have significant nasal abnormalities such as significant nasal mucosa thickening or severe nasal septal deviation, polyps, or other known significant structural abnormalities of the nasal cavity (based on subject medical history) 8.3.

Have a history of alcohol and/or drug abuse within a 6-month period immediately preceding the screening visit 8.7. Have conditions that might interfere with the drug studied e.g. cardiovascular (a gradation will be taken into account), respiratory, neurological, renal, urogenital, hepatic or malignant diseases, malnutrition or any chronic systemic infection (e.g. HIV) 9. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or known laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the sub-investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study 10. Participation in other clinical trials the last three months and during study participation 11. Employees of the clinical research centers at Pfizer, the CRO’s contracted for this study, or their immediate family members, are not permitted to participate in this study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Change from baseline in the sum of nasal congestion and headache sign/symptom scores during the treatment period. The nasal congestion and headache scores will be summed by day; the daily sums will be averaged over the treatment days; and the change from the baseline will be calculated. |
