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   43841   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7281   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The purpose of the double blind, randomized trial is to compare the efficacy of the treatment between fixed combination of xylometazoline and dexpanthenol (Septanazal®), nasal spray, and xylometazoline, nasal spray, on nasal congestion and the healing effect of dexpanthenol in patients with acute rhinitis and in patients after surgery in the nose and paranasal cavity.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were not included in the clinical study if they were hypersensitive to the active substances or to any of the excipients, if they had dry nasal inflammation, if they received local or systemic flu treatment, sympathomimetics or if they concomitantly received another nasal decongestant.

    		 Investigator`s assessment of nasal patency using anterior Rhinoscopy
    End point description
    The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of nasal sprays of a fixed combination of xylometazoline and dexpanthenol (Septanazal®) and xylometazoline in the nasal congestion of patients with acute rhinitis and patients after operation in the nose and paranasal cavities. The researcher examined the right and left nasal cavities of all patients using anterior rhinoscopy and evaluated the degree of global patency in the nasal cavity determined by the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scale (0 - complete nasal patency, 10 - completely occluded nose). The examination was performed on Visit 1 (Day 1), Visit 2 (Day 3) and Visit 3 (Day 7). In all patients (treated with either Septanazal or xylometazoline), the patency in both nasal cavities improved during treatment, which is directly indicated by a decrease in nasal obstruction from the first to the last visit.

The patient also evaluated nasal patency using a VAS scale. Nasal patency was assessed before IMP administration and 1 minute, 3 minutes, 6 minutes and 9 minutes after IMP administration. Both Septanazal and xylometazoline effect was observed within 1 minute of administration. Even greater is the reduction of nasal occlusion after 3, 6 and 9 minutes after application of any IMP. There were no statistically significant differences between Septanazal and xylometazoline before and 1 minute, 3 minutes, 6 minutes and 9 minutes after IMP administration.

    		 Questionnaire SNOT-22 REV 2 - "Nose occlusion"
    End point description
    SNOT-22 REV 2 is a questionnaire used to evaluate acute inflammation of the nasal mucosa and chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the paranasal cavities. Of the 22 questions asked, one was about "nose occlusion". The question was evaluated with points from 0 to 5, with the number representing the severity of the symptoms (0 - symptom no problem, 5 - symptom most severe). PATIENTS AFTER NOSE SURGERY: A statistically significant comparison of the average values of nasal occlusion was found at the 3rd visit, in favor of Septanazal and was 1.0, p=0.020. Comparison of differences in reduction of nasal occlusion from V1 to V3 between the two studied groups was statistically insignificant. PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RHINITIS: Average values of nasal occlusion on 1st and 3rd visit as well as comparison of differences in reduction of nasal occlusion from V1 to V3 between the two studied groups were statistically insignificant.

    End point description
    After the IMP application, the patient evaluated the severity of 11 symptoms on a scale from 0 to 4 (0 - symptom no problems, 4 - symptom very serious problems). One of the symptoms was the "sensation of obstructed breathing through the nose", which directly indicates nasal occlusion. The evaluation took place at all three visits. PATIENTS AFTER NOSE SURGERY: The observed symptom decreased statistically significantly from the V1 to the V3 (decrease by 41% in the xylometazoline group (p = 0.031) and 49% in the Septanazal group (p = 0.004)). PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RHINITIS: The observed symptom decreased statistically significantly from the V1 to the V3 (a decrease of 63% in the xylometazoline group (p <0.0001) and 64% in the Septanazal group (p <0.0001)).

    		 Global assessment of individual`s behavior - GAIB
    End point description
    At V2 and V3, the investigator evaluated the improvement in signs and symptoms during treatment using GAIB. GAIB contains a 7-point rating (0 - fully improved, 6 - worse disease/condition than at baseline). GAIB compared the end state versus the severity of the initial condition. PATIENTS AFTER NOSE SURGERY: The mean score decreased from V2 to V3 for 0.38 (35%, P=0.0078) in the group treated with Septanazal and for 0.39 (25%, P=0.0019) in the group treated with xylometazoline. Comparison of mean global estimates of improvement did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups studied. PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RHINITIS: The mean score decreased from V2 to V3 for 0.96 (52%, P<0.0001) in the group treated with Septanazal and for 0.72 (47%, P<0.0001) in the group treated with xylometazoline. Comparison of mean global estimates of improvement showed a statistically significant difference between the groups only on V2 with Septanazal group having a higher score (p<0.027).
