| NCT00394914 | Effects of Pleconaril Nasal Spray on Common Cold Symptoms and Asthma Exacerbations Following Rhinovirus Exposure (Study P04295) | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 311 | — | — | Aug 1, 2006 | Apr 1, 2007 | Jul 16, 2015 | - | — |
The common cold was defined as moderate or severe rhinorrhea and at least one other cold symptom of moderate to severe intensity for at least 1 day, together with rhinovirus-positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR), after a participant had temporal exposure to an index case. PCR+ was defined as positive or equivocal outcome of the picornavirus test any time after randomization.
Asthma exacerbation was defined as a participant having one of the following: 1. 0.5 point or more increase in the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) from Baseline at Day 7. The ACQ is a validated instrument containing 7 questions to assess asthma control which incorporates symptoms, beta-agonist use, and spirometry. Participants recall their experiences during the previous 7 days and respond to each question using a 7-point scale. The items are equally weighted and the ACQ score is the mean of the 7 items and therefore ranges between 0 (well controlled) and 6 (extremely poorly controlled). The ACQ completed on the day of exposure was the Baseline ACQ. 2. Any change to asthma treatment as prescribed by a physician, unscheduled contact (either office visit or phone contact where medication was changed for asthma symptoms), emergency room visit, or hospitalization. PCR+ was defined as positive or equivocal outcome of the picornavirus test any time after randomization.
