Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Comparison, vs placebo, during 6 months of the infective episodes of the respiratory tract (number of days of illness) from the day of the first dose. Number of illness days recorded by the patient on a special diary.
    Protection of trial subjects
    During the study period, to minimise the patients pain/distress, it was permitted to take the following concomitant medications: antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, bronchodilators, decongestant, mucolytics. The subject's wellbeing was evaluated at month 4 and month 6.
    Background therapy
    During the two weeks preceding the randomization the following drugs were not allowed: Immunestimulants, gamma-globulines, etc. of the ATC group J06 and J07AX; Anti-neoplastic drugs of the ATC group L01; Cytokines, interleukins, interferon, immune-suppressants of the ATC group L03 and L04. After the randomization and during the study (including the follow-up period) the following drugs were not permitted: Immune-stimulants of the ATC group J07AX; Anti-neoplastic drugs of the ATC group L01; Cytokines, interleukins, interferon, immune-suppressants of the ATC group L03 and L04; Systemic steroids (if used for more than 2 weeks); Any drug product or dietary supplement containing zinc (if used for more than one week); Any other product with immune-stimulant features.
    Evidence for comparator
    To minimise the patients pain/distress, it was permitted to take the following concomitant medications: antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, bronchodilators, decongestant, mucolytics.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 187 subjects were enrolled in 10 Italian Clinical Centres in the period September 2012 - September 2013. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) population consisted of 178 subjects (88 assigned to placebo and 90 to Buccalin).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Run-in and/or screening periods were not planned in the study design. Randomization visit (Visit 1) was considered as baseline visit.

    Roles blinded
    Subject, Investigator, Monitor
    Blinding implementation details
    This study had a double blind design. A computer generated randomisation list in blocks of 4, to balance the random allocation to each treatment, was managed by CRO. A duly closed and sealed copy of randomisation list was kept by the Sponsor. Each Investigator received a set of sealed envelopes, one for each subject assigned to his/her centre. Each envelope contained the identity of subject’s treatment, formed by a three-digit number.
