Active clinical trials for "Picornaviridae Infections"

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a CRTH2 receptor antagonist, OC459, in preventing or attenuating the worsening of asthma symptoms during rhinovirus infection. The study is a double blind, randomised trial in which half the subjects will receive OC459 and the other half placebo, before being inoculated with rhinovirus, that would normally induce a worsening of asthma symptoms i.e. an exacerbation.

This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy of pleconaril nasal spray in preventing asthma exacerbation and common cold symptoms in asthmatic participants exposed to picornavirus respiratory infections. Participants will be assigned treatment with pleconaril or placebo nasal spray for 7 days (14 doses). Participants will be followed for an additional 14 days.
