Patients are offered the opportunity to take part in the clinical investigation at the time of payment and after the eligibility critera have been checked by the pharmacist.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

    Time frame: At Day 0 and Day 6

  8. Subjective feeling of reduced nasal obstruction immediately (2 minuts) after the use of the spray at Day 6

    Proportion of patient who experienced a reduction of nasal obstruction immediately (2 minuts) after the use of the spray, on Patient Questionnaire, at Day 6.

    Time frame: At Day 6

  9. Subjective feeling of reduced nasal obstruction immediately (2 minuts) after the use of the spray at Day 0

    Proportion of patient who experienced a reduction of nasal obstruction immediately (2 minuts) after the use of the spray, on Patient Questionnaire, at Day 0.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2026, 25 months after the start.

Of 12 observational studies under Common Cold, half reached primary completion within 20 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 35. This study's planned 25 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 25, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
