| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Broncho-Vaxom® drops compared to placebo in children in reducing the severity and the rate of respiratory tract infections;Secondary Objective: · Proportion of patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections (i.e. presenting 3 or more RTIs) up to the end of treatment period (V6). · Proportion of patients with at least one additional RTI up to the end of the study period (V7). · Proportion of patient suffering of gastro-intestinal infection during the treatment period. · Rate of gastro-intestinal infection during the treatment period · Severity of RTI symptoms with symptom score. · Duration of RTI. · Type and duration of concomitant treatment(s) with medication score · Proportion of patients suffering from viral (Influenza A and B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)) or bacterial (ß-haemolytic Streptococcus A) infections detected with quick detection kits from nasal or throat swabs.;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to asses the efficacy and safety of Broncho-Vaxom drops compared to placebo in children in reducing the severity and the rate of respiratory tract infections;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The end point will be evaluated after the last patient out | — |
