About this study
Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, Parallelgroup, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate Effect of Paracetamol, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride, Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets Compared to Placebo in Subjects Suffering From the Common Cold or Influenza Over a 4 Hour Period
This phase IV multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-dose study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of the active tablets versus placebo in participants suffering from cold and influenza. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment groups (active or placebo tablets) and enter a four-hour (hr) treatment phase. Each participant will be administered only once during each study period. Participants will use a questionnaire to record the symptom severity scores as described, as well as time.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Symptom Severity Assessment at 15 Minutes
Symptom severity assessment was determined by Total Sum Score (TSS), TSS ranged from 0 to 21 with less severity score at the given time point represented a better outcome measure.
TSS was calculated as the sum of the non missing scores (all on a 0-3 scale measuring worsening or severity) of the following common cold symptoms: sore throat, headache, extremities pain, nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and cough post treatment administration.
Participants self assessed symptoms severity using 4 points (0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe) categorical scale at 15 minutes post product use.

Secondary outcomes (9)
Global Assessment of Treatment
After completing the 4 hours symptom severity assessments, participants evaluated their treatment response on a 5-point scale by answering the question: "How well did the test medication control your symptoms?" (0-ineffective, 1-poor, 2-fair, 3-good, or 4-excellent).
Measured: 4 hours
Sore Throat Severity Assessment
Participants self-assessed sore throat severity using 4 points (0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe) categorical scale at baseline and at 15, 30, 60, 120,180 and 240 minutes post product administration.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This phase IV multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-dose study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of the active tablets versus placebo in participants suffering from cold and influenza. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment groups (active or placebo tablets) and enter a four-hour (hr) treatment phase. Each participant will be administered only once during each study period. Participants will use a questionnaire to record the symptom severity scores as described, as well as time.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Test tablet in people with Common Cold, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Symptom Severity Assessment at 15 Minutes (time frame: 15 minutes). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2016.
