Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the performance of ColdZyme® mouth spray on prevention of common cold symptoms on experimentally induced rhinovirus upper respiratory tract infection in healthy volunteers. Half of participants will receive ColdZyme® mouth spray while the other half will receive placebo.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: ColdZyme® mouth spray
  • Device: Placebo
N/A

Detailed Description

88 subjects will be inoculated with rhinovirus 16 via the nasal route. The subjects will be randomized 1:1 to ColdZyme® or placebo. Treatment (6 doses per day) will be applied for 11 days from the day of inoculation. The subjects will visit the investigational clinic on 6 occasions. During these visits the subjects will leave nasal (lavage) and pharyngeal (swab) samples for quantification of virus replication. All subjects will have a diary for scoring of cold symptoms.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ColdZyme

ColdZyme® mouth spray liquid. Treatment (6 doses per day) will be applied for 11 days from the day of inoculation.

Device: ColdZyme® mouth spray

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Sugar based mouth spray liquid manufactured to mimic ColdZyme® mouth spray. Treatment (6 doses per day) will be applied for 11 days from the day of inoculation.

Device: Placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Reduction of virus load [7 days]

    The primary objective is to investigate the protective effect of ColdZyme® mouth spray against infection in the oropharynx by common cold virus (rhinovirus 16) in vivo in relation to placebo

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Reduce the number of days with common cold symptoms [11 days]

  2. Reduce the number of days with virus present in oropharynx [11 days]
