Study summary

The purpose of this Real-World Evidence study is to generate real world data from participants with cough associated with the common cold, evaluating the effects in two arms with commercially available cough syrups on health-related quality of life (QoL). Arm 1 includes one cough syrup (which can be used day or night) and Arm 2 includes the daytime cough syrup and a nighttime cough syrup.

Read the detailed description

This is a longitudinal, randomized, decentralized, open-label study evaluating the effect on QoL factors in participants with cough associated with the common cold in two arms using Robitussin Maximum Strength in a real-world setting. A sufficient number of adult participants (approximately 372) with symptoms of common cold will be screened for eligibility. The study expects to enroll approximately 260 eligible participants with a total of 200 participants expected to complete the study, approximately 100 in each study group. Participants will be randomized into one of two study groups (at a 1:1 ratio). Participants will be recruited through targeted advertising on social media channels and participants will not be required to physically attend any on-site visits.

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 (WURSS-21) Total Score

    The WURSS was an evaluative illness-specific quality of life instrument, designed to assess the negative impact of acute upper respiratory infection, presumed viral (the common cold). WURSS-21 was the short version of this validated survey. Participants rated their cold symptoms (10 questions) and Quality of Life (QoL) related 9 questions using WURSS-21. The responses were evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 7, where 0=Do not have symptoms/Not at all and 7=Severe symptoms/Severely. Thus, the minimum and maximum possible total scores were 0 and 133 respectively, where higher total scores indicated more negative impact on symptoms and quality of life. Change from Baseline was calculated as each post-Baseline value minus Baseline value. EOT was defined as the day when the participant ceased study involvement because they no longer required relief from their cough/cold symptoms or the participant reached Day 7 (Or their last available questionnaire information).

Outcome measures

PrimaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-21 (WURSS-21) Total Score

The WURSS was an evaluative illness-specific quality of life instrument, designed to assess the negative impact of acute upper respiratory infection, presumed viral (the common cold). WURSS-21 was the short version of this validated survey. Participants rated their cold symptoms (10 questions) and Quality of Life (QoL) related 9 questions using WURSS-21. The responses were evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 7, where 0=Do not have symptoms/Not at all and 7=Severe symptoms/Severely. Thus, the minimum and maximum possible total scores were 0 and 133 respectively, where higher total scores indicated more negative impact on symptoms and quality of life. Change from Baseline was calculated as each post-Baseline value minus Baseline value. EOT was defined as the day when the participant ceased study involvement because they no longer required relief from their cough/cold symptoms or the participant reached Day 7 (Or their last available questionnaire information).

PrimaryMean Change From Baseline in Each of the WURSS-21 Symptom Scores: Feeling Tired

The WURSS was an evaluative illness specific quality of life instrument, designed to assess the negative impact of acute upper respiratory infection, presumed viral (the common cold). WURSS-21 was the short version of this validated survey. The individual symptoms included runny nose, plugged nose, sneezing, sore throat, scratchy throat, cough, hoarseness, head congestion, chest congestion and feeling tired. Participants rated each of the 10 individual symptom domain questions and the responses were evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 7, where 0=Do not have symptom and 7=Severe. Thus, the minimum and maximum score for each symptom domain question was 0 and 7, where higher scores indicated more negative impact on symptoms. Baseline was defined as Day 0. Change from Baseline was calculated as each post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.

SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Categorized QoL Questions Score: Sleep Quality

The QoL factors were categorized into 4 categories - Sleep quality, Vitality, Physical activity and Social activity. Sleep quality category included 3 individual questions - Sleep well (WURSS-21: Question 13), Falling asleep (QoL: Question 4) and Sleep through the night (QoL: Question 5). Participants rated each question, and the responses were evaluated on a scale ranging from 0 to 7, where 0=Not at all and 7=Severely. The individual question score was added to derive categorized QoL score. Thus, the minimum and maximum possible total scores was 0 and 21 respectively, where higher scores indicated more negative impact on QoL. Baseline was defined as Day 0. Change from Baseline was calculated as each post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.
