Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • WURSS-21 QoL sub score

    The primary endpoint is the AUC of Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey (WURSS-21) Quality of Life composite subscore during first 8 days of symptoms, to be assessed in comparison between verum and placebo.

    Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • 1. Composite daily severity of all symptoms within the Jackson score

    Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

  • 2. Exposure to any concomitant treatment (including natural health products) that may affect common cold symptoms

    Days 1-4 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

  • Other secondary endpoints: AUC days 1-8 for each single WURSS-21 QoL subscore item

    Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

  • AUC days 1-8 composite daily severity of all local symptoms within the Jackson score (mean of morning and evening)

    Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

  • AUC days 1-8 composite daily severity of each individual symptom of the Jackson score (mean of morning and evening)

    Days 1-8 (day 1 is the first day of symptoms)

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Safety endpoint: Physical examination

    From enrolment through study completion, maximum 16 weeks

  • Safety endpoint: Vital signs

    From enrolment through study completion, maximum 16 weeks

  • Safety endpoint: Vital signs

    From enrolment through study completion, maximum 16 weeks

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

ColdZyme

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

ColdZyme® Mouth Spray. The IP should be applied every second hour up to 6 times, with each time 2 sprays (1 dose) per occasion. The IP use should start when following conditions have been fulfilled: * Answering "Yes" to either of the questions in the subject daily diary: "Do you think/feel you have a cold?" or "Do you think/feel you are coming down with a cold (might be having the first signs of cold)?" AND * A Jackson score of at least 1 in the subject's cold diary (mild = present, but not disturbing or irritating) for any symptom except headache The IP should be used until 2 days after the subject is symptom free (=answering "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?" for 2 days in a row), but not longer than 10 days in total.

Device: ColdZyme

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Water based mouth spray manufactured to be similar to ColdZyme® Mouth Spray. The IP should be applied every second hour up to 6 times, with each time 2 sprays (1 dose) per occasion. The IP use should start when following conditions have been fulfilled: * Answering "Yes" to either of the questions in the subject daily diary: "Do you think/feel you have a cold?" or "Do you think/feel you are coming down with a cold (might be having the first signs of cold)?" AND * A Jackson score of at least 1 in the subject's cold diary (mild = present, but not disturbing or irritating) for any symptom except headache The IP should be used until 2 days after the subject is symptom free (=answering "No" to the question "Do you think that you are still sick with this respiratory infection?" for 2 days in a row), but not longer than 10 days in total.

Device: ColdZyme Placebo
