NCT05501288

Brief Summary

The investigators conducted a single-center, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of a Chinese herb compound granule Huashi Baidu granule (HSBDG) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed mild COVID-19. 108 recruited children (aged 3 to 18 years) with laboratory-confirmed mild COVID-19 were randomly allocated 2:1 to receive oral HSBDG for 5 consecutive days (intervention group) and to receive compound pholcodine oral solution for 5 consecutive days (control group). The negative conversion time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid and symptom scores were recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid negative conversion

    The primary outcome of the study was the time for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid negative conversion after randomization. The time from day 0 to the day of two consecutive negative reports confirmed was defined as the negative conversion time.

    up to three weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Symptom score, antibiotic use, and side effects

    up to three weeks

Study Arms (2)

intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

receive oral HSBDG for 5 consecutive days

Drug: Huashi Baidu granule

control group

OTHER

receive compound pholcodine oral solution for 5 consecutive days

Drug: compound pholcodine oral solution

Interventions

Patients were given HSBDG the day after randomization, with a dose of 2.5g for age 3 to 6 years, 5 g for age 7 to 12 years, and 10 g for age 13 to 18 years, twice daily for 5 consecutive days.

intervention group

Patients were given compound pholcodine oral solution (Bright Future Pharmaceuticals Factory, Hong Kong, CHN) the day after randomization, with a dose of 5 ml for age 3 to 6 years and 10 ml for age 7 to 18 years, three times daily for 5 consecutive days.
