What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Effectiveness compared between drugs using the percentage of improvement (sustained response rate) at the end of treatment.

    There will be a total of three returns after inclusion (0 day), and they are 1, 3 and 7 days after initiation of treatment.At the returns of 1 and 3 days, there will be a tolerance of +1 day, and the return of seven days, the tolerance will be ± 1 days. On each return, will be collected data on the efficacy and safety as defined in this protocol.

    Time frame: 7 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of signs and symptoms during treatment, with a record of individual scores for each parameter established.

    There will be a total of three returns after inclusion (0 day), and they are 1, 3 and 7 days after initiation of treatment.At the returns of 1 and 3 days, there will be a tolerance of +1 day, and the return of seven days, the tolerance will be ± 1 days. On each return, will be collected data on the efficacy and safety as defined in this protocol.

    Time frame: 7 days of treatment.

  2. Statistical comparison of drug safety, by recording qualitative and quantitative parameters related to adverse effects occurring during treatment.
