-Summary

Coldamaris lozenges are a medical device containing 10 mg carrageenan/lozenge. The goal of the study is to determine whether the iota-carrageenan content in the saliva of subjects who sucked Coldamaris® lozenges is sufficient to inhibit the replication of 4 of the most common respiratory viruses causing common cold. At least 29 subjects will be screened, in order to get 24 subjects included.

+Detailed description

Coldamaris lozenges are a medical device containing 10 mg carrageenan/lozenge. The goal of the study is to determine whether the iota-carrageenan content in the saliva of subjects who sucked Coldamaris® lozenges is sufficient to inhibit the replication of 4 of the most common respiratory viruses causing common cold. At least 29 subjects will be screened, in order to get 24 subjects included.

The primary objective is whether the mean iota-carrageenan concentration in saliva during sucking an iota-carrageenan containing lozenge reaches published IC90 values for HRV1a and HRV8.

The secondary objectives are whether the mean iota-carrageenan concentration in saliva (µg/ml; base line corrected) during sucking an iota-carrageenan containing lozenge reaches the respective IC90/MIC values (paired t-tests) of the clinical saliva samples for HRV1a, HRV8, hCoV OC43, influenza virus H1N1n and Coxsackie virus A10.

+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
CarrageenanExperimentalDevice: Coldamaris lozengesSubjects sucking carageenan containing lozenge
  • Coldamaris lozenges (Device), also known as Betadine, Quixx protect, Quixx grip-protect: sucking carageenan containing lozenge

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • The primary outcome measure is the iota-carrageenan concentration in saliva. [3 months]: The mean iota-carrageenan concentration in saliva during sucking an iota-carrageenan containing lozenge should reach published IC90 values for 2 human rhinoviruses.

Secondary outcomes

  • The secondary outcome measure is the iota-carrageenan concetration in salvia. [3 months]: Iota-carrageenan concentration in saliva of subjects should be high enough to inhibit replication of human rhinoviruses, human Coronavirus OC43, human influenzavirus H1N1n, and Coxsackievirus A10.
