Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Intensity was determined by the Investigator. For symptomatic Adverse Events (AEs) the following definitions were applied.

    Mild = AE did not limit usual activities; subject may have experienced slight discomfort.

    Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities; subject may have experienced significant discomfort.

    Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may have experienced intolerable discomfort/pain.

    Relationship to Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP)

    Unlikely = Slight, but remote, chance that AE was caused by IMP. Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by IMP. Probable = Most likely that AE was caused by IMP.

    Measured: Up to day 2 (Period 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vicks Cough Syrup for Chesty Coughs, Robitussin Extra Strength Chest Congestion and Organ-I- NR tablet in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Reckitt Benckiser Inc..

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 13 inclusion and 13 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 27 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 22 Feb 2019). 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Guaifenesin (time frame: 0 (Pre-dose), 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 8.75, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 16 hours). The study lists 16 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 27 Mar 2019.
