Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine if the study drug ANTIRIN® is at least as effective (non-inferiority testing) assessed by TNSS changes after 4 days of therapy as the comparative product NASIC® in the treatment of acute viral rhinitis, to compare ANTIRIN® with placebo to proof of its efficacy and to compare NASIC® with placebo to proof assay sensitivity.;Secondary Objective: To determine efficacy assessed by VAS changes mearusing intensity of all individual symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching and congestion) To determine the safety and tolerability of ANTIRIN®. ;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy parameter will be the absolute change from baseline to Day 4 in patient self-rated TNSS. The TNSS include a composite score of runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching and congestion. All symptoms are rated using four-point scale with following interpretation: 0 = absent symptoms (no sign/symptom evident) 1 = mild symptoms (sign/symptom clearly present, but minimal awareness; easily tolerated) 2 = moderate symptoms (definite awareness of sign/symptom that is bothersome but tolerable) 3 = severe symptoms (sign/symptom that is hard to tolerate; causes interference with activities of daily living and/or sleeping) The baseline value for TNSS is defined as the last measurement taken prior to application of test/reference drug. Day 4 assessment of TNSS was defined as endpoint (LOCF imputation technique will be used on ITT set).
