Viral Respiratory Infection | Drug: MMH-407 Drug: Placebo | Phase 3 |
Design: multicenter, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group randomized clinical trial.
The study will enroll outpatients of either gender aged 18-70 years old with clinical manifestations of ARVI within the first day after the onset of the disease during seasonal ARVI morbidity.
After signing patient information sheet and informed consent form, medical history, thermometry, objective examination, laboratory tests and concomitant medication will be performed. Severity of ARVI symptoms is evaluated with 4-point scale.
The nasopharyngeal swabs for PCR diagnosis and verification of respiratory viruses will be performed prior to therapy to confirm the viral etiology of ARVI.
If a patient meets all inclusion criteria and does not have any exclusion criteria, at Visit 1 (Day 1) he/she will be randomized into one of two groups: the 1st group will take MMH-407 according to the dosage regimen for 5 days; the 2nd group will take Placebo according to MMH-407 dosage regimen for 5 days.
The study will use electronic patient diary for recording morning and evening axillary body temperature (measured using a mercury-free Geratherm Classic thermometer) and disease symptoms (Symptom Severity Score). Besides, antipyretic dosing (if applicable) and any aggravation in a patient's condition (if applicable, for safety evaluation/AE documentation) will also be recorded in a patient diary. The investigator will provide instructions on filling the diary; at Visit 1 the patient together with a doctor will record ARVI symptom severity and body temperature in the diary.
Patient will be observed for 14 days (screening, randomization - Day 1, treatment period - 5 days, follow-up - up to 2 days; deferred "phone visit" - Day 14).
During the treatment and follow-up period the patients or investigators will make 3 visits and the fourth "phone visit" will be scheduled additionally: 1) visits by physician/patient - on Days 1, 5 and 7 (Visits 1, 2 and 3) - in a study center or at home; 2) "phone visit" (Visit 4) - on Day 14.
At Visits 2 and 3, the investigator will perform an objective examination, document changes in the symptoms and concomitant medications to check patient diaries. At Visit 3 compliance will be evaluated and laboratory tests will be performed. "Phone visit" is carried out to interview the patient about his/her condition, presence/absence of secondary bacterial/viral complications and use of antibiotics.
During the study, symptomatic therapy and therapy for their co-morbidities are allowed with the exception of the drugs indicated in the section "Prohibited Concomitant Treatment".

Experimental: MMH-407
Tablet for oral use. One tablet per intake. On day 1, five tablets are taken in the first 2 hours (one tablet every 30 min), followed by three more tablets regularly spaced during the rest of the day. From day 2 through 5, one tablet is administered three times daily. The drug is administered not during meals (i.e. between the meals or 15-30 minutes before meal). The tablet should be held in mouth until complete dissolution.

- Time to Resolution of Acute Respiratory Viral Infection (ARVI) Symptoms [ Time Frame: 14 days of observation. ]
Outcome Measure is evaluated on the basis of the "ARVI severity scale" to calculate total symptom score (TSS) in patients with confirmed virus by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
ARVI's resolution criteria: temperature ≤37.3°С + TSS ≤2. Axillar temperature, 6 flu-like nonspecific symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness), and 6 nasal/throat/chest symptoms (runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, hoarseness, sore throat, cough) were registered for TSS according to the 4-point scale for each of them (0 = no symptom; 1 = mild symptom; 2 = moderate symptom; 3 = severe symptom). To calculate TSS absolute axillar temperature (in degrees Celsius) was converted to relative units (or points) using the following scale: ≤37.3 С=0 points; 37.4-38.0 С=1 point; 38.1-39.0 С=2 points; ≥39.1 С=3 points. The range of TSS was from "0" to "39".
- Severity of ARVI (Clinically Diagnosed and/or PCR-confirmed) [ Time Frame: On days 1- 6 of the observation. ]Outcome Measure is based on the area under the curve (AUC) for TSS. AUC was calculated between 6 points (by TSS for every 6 days of the treatment and observation). The minimum value for the AUC was "0" and the maximum value was "234" units (day*score). Higher TSS and AUC scores meant worse results.
- Percentage of Patients With Resolution of ARVI Symptoms (Clinically Diagnosed and/or PCR-confirmed) [ Time Frame: On days 3, 4, 5 and 6 of observation. ]ARVI's resolution criteria: temperature ≤37.3°С + total symptom score (TSS) ≤2. Axillar temperature, 6 flu-like nonspecific symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness) and 6 nasal/throat/chest symptoms (runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, hoarseness, sore throat, cough) were registered for TSS according to the 4-point scale for each of them (0 = no symptom; 1 = mild symptom; 2 = moderate symptom; 3 = severe symptom). To calculate TSS absolute axillar temperature (in degrees Celsius) was converted to relative units (or points) using the following scale: ≤37.3 С=0 points; 37.4-38.0 С=1 point; 38.1-39.0 С=2 points; ≥39.1 С=3 points. The range of TSS was from "0" to "39".

- Percentage of Patients With Resolution of Acute Respiratory Viral Infection (PCR-confirmed) [ Time Frame: On days 3, 4, 5 and 6 of observation. ]
Outcome Measure is based on the Percentage of Patients With Resolution of Acute Respiratory Viral Infection, confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), i.e virus detection.
Acute Respiratory Viral Infection resolution criteria: temperature ≤37.3°С + total symptom score (TSS) ≤2. Axillar temperature, 6 flu-like nonspecific symptoms (headache, chills, sweating, weakness, muscle pain, drowsiness) and 6 nasal/throat/chest symptoms (runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, hoarseness, sore throat, cough) were registered for TSS according to the 4-point scale for each of them (0 = no symptom; 1 = mild symptom; 2 = moderate symptom; 3 = severe symptom).

The range of TSS was from "0" to "39".
- Dosing Frequency of Antipyretics. [ Time Frame: On days 1, 2, 3 of therapy. ]Outcome Measure is based on the rates of antipyretic use per patient during days 1 to 3 of therapy.
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Worsening of Illness [ Time Frame: From day 4 to day 14 of the observation period. ]Outcome Measure is based on the rates of Complications that require the use of antibiotics or hospitalization.
- Occurrence and Characteristics of Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From day 1 to day 7 of the treatment period. ]Severity of AEs, its causal relationship to the study drug, and outcomes.
- Changes in Vital Signs: Blood Pressure. [ Time Frame: On days 1, 5 and 7 of the treatment period. ]Outcome Measure is based on the medical records. Blood Pressure was measured by the physician in every visit (on days 1, 5, and 7).
- Changes in Vital Signs: Pulse Rate (Heart Rate). [ Time Frame: On days 1, 5 and 7 of the treatment period. ]Outcome Measure is based on the medical records. Pulse Rate (Heart Rate) was measured by the physician in every visit (on days 1, 5, and 7).
- Changes in Vital Signs: Respiration Rate (Breathing Rate). [ Time Frame: On days 1, 5 and 7 of the treatment period. ]Outcome Measure is based on the medical records. Respiration Rate (Breathing Rate) was measured by the physician in every visit (on days 1, 5, and 7).
- Percentage of Patients With Clinically Relevant Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: From day 1 to day 7 of the treatment period. ]Outcome Measure is based on the Hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis parameters, which were beyond the reference values at the end of treatment.
