About this study

Official title: Study of Antiviral Therapy of Influenza and ARVI With Kagocel ® in Children

This study examined the etiology of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) during the 2015-2016 season, evaluated the statistics of the incidence of influenza and ARVI in this period (epidemiology: severity of the disease and bacterial exacerbations; demographics of patients; duration and timing of treatment; safety; quality of treatment), and evaluated the effectiveness of complex therapy with an emphasis on the using of interferon inducers in hospitalized children aged 3 to 11 years.

Read the detailed description

This non-interventional observational study included 80 patients aged 3 to 11 years who were hospitalized with influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) symptoms at any time from the onset of the disease (up to 15 days) and who were prescribed the interferon inducer Kagocel as an antiviral medicine.

The diagnosis of influenza and ARVI was confirmed in accordance with the world health organization (who) guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 and other influenza viruses.

All patient examinations are conducted in accordance with local routine clinical practice and local and international standards of care.

After the end of treatment, the following data were collected and analyzed:

  • demography
  • disease severity
  • anamnesis data (data of influenza vaccination in the current season; pre-school facilities visits; previous contacts with a patient with influenza / ARVI; previous antiviral therapy for the current episode of the disease; concomitant diseases)
  • body temperature (morning/evening)
  • chills and fever (cumulative score based on all symptoms: 0-no symptoms, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe)
  • intoxication symptom (cumulative score based on all symptoms: 0-no symptoms, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe)
  • catarrhal symptoms (cumulative score based on all symptoms: 0 - no symptoms, 1-mild, 2-moderate, 3-severe)
  • timelines: the beginning of the disease, the first visit to the doctor, the beginning of treatment, the duration of the disease
  • determination the causative agent by PCR (on presentation of patients and their discharge on 5-6 days from start of therapy)
  • antiviral therapy (Kagocel dose depending on age)
  • symptomatic treatment of the current episode of influenza or ARVI before and during the patient's hospitalization
  • bacterial exacerbations (Yes/no)
  • treatment of bacterial exacerbations (drug name)
  • adverse events

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • KagocelDrug

    The researchers prescribed antiviral medications, including Kagocel, according to routine clinical practice. Patients who were assigned Kagocel were invited to participate in the study.

    Kagocel administration:

    1. for children from 3 to 6 years old (n=41): In the first 2 days - 1 tablet 2 times a day, in the next 2 days - 1 tablet once a day. Total for the course of administration 6 tablets within the period of 4 days.
    2. for children from 6 years old (n=39) - administered in the first 2 days - 1 tablet 3 times a day, in the next 2 days - 1 tablet 2 times a day. Total for the course of administration 10 tablets within the period of 4 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in the number of respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal smears by multiplex PCR

    Identification of respiratory viruses such as influenza a and b, human respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza viruses of types 1-4, coronaviruses, metapneumoviruses, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses of groups B, C, E, and bokaviruses, and assessment of the duration of their isolation

    Measured: 2 points: day of hospitalization and 5-6 day of treatment

  2. Duration and severity of fever in patients with influenza and in patients with ARVI

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

  3. The dynamics and the severity of intoxication and catarrhal syndromes in patients with influenza and in patients with ARVI

    Intoxication syndrome: drowsiness, muscle pain, weakness, sweating, chills, eye pain, headache.

    Catarrhal syndromes: pharyngeal hyperemia, cough, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sore throa.

    Qualitative signs were evaluated in points-absence of a sign-0 points, weakly expressed sign - 1 point, medium (moderate) expressed-2 points, bright (strongly) expressed-3 points

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

  4. Number of participants with symptoms of ARVI or influenza

    Number of patients with intoxication syndrome (drowsiness, muscle pain, weakness, sweating, chills, eye pain, headache), catarrhal syndromes (pharyngeal hyperemia, cough, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sore throa) and fever

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

  5. Number of participants who required antibiotic therapy

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

  6. Number of participants with ARVI and influenza complications

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events (AE) with regards to type and severity of AE (mild, moderate, severe; according to physician's opinion)

    Measured: up to 7 days (at least)

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?

Changes in the number of respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal smears by multiplex PCR (time frame: 2 points: day of hospitalization and 5-6 day of treatment). 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.
