PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

Population: MITT defined as all participants receiving at least 1 dose of study medication and had 1 or more efficacy assessment after Baseline. Last observation carried forward method was applied to missing post baseline measurement in the analyses of the MITT population.

Yes the investigator would use this treatment for cold symptoms in the future.
