Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Trial Objectives and Exploration Indicators:

1. To explore the improvement effect of different doses of Qinqiao Yanshu Granules on the symptoms/conditions and TCM syndromes of acute pharyngitis (Wind - Heat Exogenous Syndrome), and its effect on shortening the course of the disease.
2. To observe the safety of the clinical application of Qinqiao Yanshu Granules. Overall Trial Design:A block - randomized, double - blind, dose - escalation, multicenter clinical trial design was adopted.

Sample Size:It is planned to enroll 72 cases in each group (high - dose group, low - dose group, and extremely low - dose group), with a total of 216 cases.

Investigational Products:Experimental groups:

1. High - dose group: Specification: 12g/bag;
2. Low - dose group: Specification: 12g/bag.

Control group:

(1) Extremely low - dose group: Specification: 12g/bag.

Rescue medication:

(1) Paracetamol tablets: Specification: 0.5g/tablet. Dosage and Administration: High - dose group: Dissolve in boiling water and take 1 bag each time, 3 times a day, half an hour before meals; Low - dose group: Dissolve in boiling water and take 1 bag each time, 3 times a day, half an hour before meals; Extremely low - dose group: Dissolve in boiling water and take 1 bag each time, 3 times a day, half an hour before meals; Rescue medication: Paracetamol tablets. During the trial, if the subject's body temperature exceeds 38.5°C (including 38.5°C), rescue medication can be added. Use it according to the instructions and doctor's advice and record it truthfully.

Treatment Course:5 days Efficacy Indicators:

1\) The disappearance rate of pharyngeal pain 3 days and 5 days after treatment; 2) The change value of the pharyngeal pain VAS score compared with the baseline 5 days after treatment; 3) The time to disappearance of pharyngeal pain; 4) The effective rate of pharyngeal signs 5 days after treatment; 5) The clinical cure rate of the disease 5 days after treatment; 6) The efficacy of TCM syndromes 5 days after treatment; 7) The disappearance rate of single symptoms 5 days after treatment; 8) The frequency of rescue drug use. Measurement and Definition of Endpoint Indicators:

1. The criterion for the disappearance of pharyngeal pain: The pharyngeal pain VAS score drops to 0 points and persists for 24 hours or more.
2. Pharyngeal pain VAS score:

Starting from the evaluation time of the VAS score during the screening period, the subject evaluates once every 24 hours (±1 hour) and records the most severe degree of pharyngeal pain in the past 24 hours in the diary card.
3. The criterion for the effective rate of pharyngeal signs: "Effective" is defined as a decrease of at least 1 point in the pharyngeal sign score. The effective rate = (Number of effective cases / Total number of cases) × 100%.
4. The criterion for the clinical cure of the disease: The clinical symptoms of the disease disappear, and the pharyngeal signs are reduced to mild or less. The cure rate = (Number of cured cases / Total number of cases) × 100%.
5. The definition of the efficacy of TCM syndromes:

Efficacy of TCM syndromes: Cure means that the TCM syndrome score decreases by ≥ 95%; Marked effect means that the TCM syndrome score decreases by ≥ 70% and \< 95%; Effective means that the TCM syndrome score decreases by ≥ 30% and \< 70%; Ineffective means that it does not meet the above criteria.

The change value of the pharyngeal pain VAS score compared with the baseline = The baseline pharyngeal pain VAS score - The pharyngeal pain VAS score on the 6th day.
