Study summary

To confirm the effect of Susu Xiaoer Zhike granules in treating cough caused by common cold (wind-cold cough Syndromes) in children aged 6\~13 years, shortening the course of disease and improving symptoms.

Read the detailed description

Susu used to be a clinical experienced Chinese herb formula for treating acute cough caused by common cold. The ingredients includes Hua Ju Hong, Qiao Rui Su, Zi Su Ye, Jie Geng, Gan Cao,which relieving cold and cough, resolving phlegm in traditional Chinese medicine theory. This prescription was used for a long time in clinical for treatingacute cough caused by common cold as an herb formula. To standardize the quality and make it easier to take, The investigators reproduced it into a patent medicine and design this trial for evaluating it.

The phase II clinical study of Susu Xiaoer Zhike Granules was carried out in the past, and the results showed that the use of Susu Xiaoer Zhike granules (containing 20.25g of raw drug) in the high dose group could significantly improve the clinical recovery rate (P\<0.05) and shorten the clinical recovery time (P\<0.05) in children aged 6 to 14 years (\< 14 years) caused by common cold (wind-cold cough). And good security. Based on the effectiveness and safety results of the phase II clinical study, this study intends to select the high-dose group of the phase II clinical study (containing 20.25g of raw drug) as the experimental group of the phase III clinical study, and the extremely-low dose group of the phase II clinical study as the control group. To conduct confirmatory clinical studies on cough (wind-cold cough) caused by common cold in children aged 6 to 13 years (6 years ≤ age \< 14 years).

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 19, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
