About this study

Official title: Double Blind Randomised Placebo Controlled Trial for Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Ingavirin® for Post-exposure Profilaxis During Rise in the Incidence of Influenza and Other Acute Respiratory Viral Infections in Adults

The purpose of the study was to evaluate efficacy of prophylactic Ingavirin intake by people having contact with sick people infected with influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections

Read the detailed description

The study includes 7 days of treatment period and 30 days of follow-up, 37 days total.

The participant was receiving Ingavirin or placebo for 7 days. Then during 30 days the participant was under supervision.

Visits were performed at days 2-7 (every day) since inclusion and then every 5 days during follow-up period.

Wherever during the study the participant developed symptoms of flu or other acute respiratory viral infection, the participant was taken for medical care to observe his condition, symptoms dynamics, lab tests, including laboratory verification of viral origin of the disease. Medical care was established for 10±2 days since symptoms. Everyday for 3 days and additional visits for 5±1 and 10±2 days of the disease.

The patient had the required symptomatic treatment, additionally the patient could be institutionalised if necessary.

Wherever the participant developed symptoms during treatment period, the patient was taken investigational drug on schedule.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Difference in incidence of flu / other acute respiratory viral infections between Ingavirin and placebo groups

    To evaluate incidence difference between Ingavirin and placebo groups. Incidence defined as ratio between number of people got sick in the group to all people in the group. 1) Efficiency Index (EI) was defined as incidence of flu in placebo group to incidence of flu in Ingavirin group. 2) Efficacy Ratio (ER) defined by formula: ER=(incidence in placebo group - incidence Ingavirin group)*100% then divided by incidence in placebo group.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 37 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparative evaluation of prevalence and duration of flu and acute viral respiratory infection at participants who developed flu / avri

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 37 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ingavirin (Imidazolyl Ethanamide Pentandioic Acid) in people with Influenza, Human and Acute Respiratory Infection, run by Valenta Pharm JSC at 2 sites in Russia.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 16 Jun 2017. 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 Russia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Difference in incidence of flu / other acute respiratory viral infections between Ingavirin and placebo groups (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 37 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03189537, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jun 2017.
