Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Efficacy, Prophylaxis

To evaluate whether and to what extent OM85 compared to placebo is able to reduce Respiratory Tract Infections (RTIs) in a period of 12 months in a population of elderly subjects, residing in Healthcare Residence, and with a history of at least two respiratory tract infections in the 12 months before enrollment.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. Verify whether the rate of hospital admissions and emergency room visits due to RTI decreases in the OM85 group more than in placebo group having the year before the intervention as reference.
  2. To evaluate antibiotic prescriptions in the two groups (OM85 and placebo) during the 12 months of the study.
  3. Define the demographic, clinical and functional profile of the patient at risk of RTI.
  4. Evaluate the incidence of adverse drug reactions (TEAEs).

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Elderly patients with a positive history of at least two respiratory system infections in the year preceding enrollment and residents for at least 6 months in a Healthcare Residence.
