multicenter study to evaluate efficacy, tolerability, safety of derinat

Conditions: Respiratory Infections in Children

Summary: this multicenter prospective double blinded placebo-controlled randomized study is designed to to evaluate clinical efficacy, tolerability and safety of medical product derinat®, solution for external and local use 0.25% in acute infections of respiratory system in children

this is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized phase iii-iv clinical trial in parallel groups to evaluate the efficacy and safety of derinat versus placebo in patients with acute upper respiratory tract infection. the study will include only patients with mild to moderate acute upper respiratory tract infection, without complications. according to the recommendations of the fda (guidance for industry influenza: developing drugs for treatment and/or prophylaxis) this category of patients is the best suited for placebo-controlled studies, because the expected serious risks without treatment are negligible. for studies evaluating the therapy of patients with mild to moderate acute respiratory upper respiratory tract infection without complications, a placebo-controlled trial design is preferred, as opposed to designs with no less efficacy (non-inferiority). this study provides for the inclusion of both outpatient patients and patients admitted to the hospital for epidemiological indications (i.e. patients with acute respiratory infection of the upper respiratory tract of mild and moderate severity without complications that pose an epidemic risk. assessment of criteria of severity of acute respiratory infection of the upper respiratory tract will be carried out by investigator based on standards of diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in children at the stages of medical care, depending on the forms of severity of the disease. the study is planned sequentially in 5 age groups. the study begins with the older age group and as the results on the safety of the drug are obtained, in the course of the study, it is possible to move to younger age groups

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. signed informed consent 2. male and female patients. 3. the age of the child at the time of first intranasal administration of drug for age group 1: 12 years to \<18 years; for age group 2: from 6 years to \<12 years; for age group 3: from 2 years to \<6 years; for age group 4: 7 months to \<2 years; for age group 5: from 0 months to 6 months. 4. outpatient and inpatient patients hospitalized for epidemiological reasons, with a diagnosis of acute respiratory infection of the upper respiratory tract of mild to moderate severity.
