Abstract

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Clevira Syrup in Human adult patients, with common cold and cough.

Methods: An Open Label, Balanced, Randomized, Multi-Dose, Two-Treatment, Parallel, Comparative Phase III Clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of Clevira syrup. 20 Patients were enrolled and received Clevira syrup along with Standard Treatment for common cold. Before enrolling in the Haematology, Biochemistry, Serology, RT-PCR and Chest X-Ray were done to the patients for Diagnostic purpose/Confirmation of infection.

Results: All the patients demonstrated safety measures with respect to Blood pressure and Pulse rate. Also, statistically significant (p<0.0001) improvement showed in temperature from baseline (101.74± 0.60) and at the end of the study treatment (97.71 ± 0.92).

 Conclusion: The study demonstrated an expedited clinical cure with normal vital signs & hematological results, which validated that Clevira is safe and efficacious in patients with   common cold and cough.  The data further entrusted that Clevira syrup can be used in patients with common cold and cough and relieve the signs and symptoms, with a rapid   recovery, without any adverse side effects.

Introduction

Clevira is a Proprietary Ayurvedic Medicine. The individual herbal ingredients used are known to have variety of medicinal properties against fever of viral origin and proven to have effective antipyretic, analgesic, anti-viral and immune-modulatory properties [1].

Clevira Syrup, a polyherbal formulation from apex laboratories, is a combination of ten ingredients, used in traditional medicine for management of viral infection and other disease conditions. The formulation is made out of Papaya leaf (Carica papaya), Persian Neem leaf (Melia azedarach), King of bitters plant (Andrographis paniculata), Khus Khus root (Vetiveria zizanioides), Pointed Guard plant (Trichosanthes dioica), Nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Black Pepper (Piper nigrum), Carpet Weed (Mollugo cerviana) and Heart-leaved Moonseed stem (Tinospora cordifolia). These ingredients were found to have anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, antibacterial, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, antihelmintic, larvicidal, hepatoprotective, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and hypolipidemic activity [2,3].

Respiratory infection pertaining to cold and cough are seasonal infections, predominant in winter season. Antibiotics are widely prescribed and drug resistance and allergy is a common clinical situation.  To overcome this clinical challenge, Clevira Syrup was evaluated based upon the activity pertaining to its safety and efficacy in Viral infections [2].  With this rationale the study was conducted in Human Patients diagnosed with the above signs and symptoms.  Further the outcome of the study could help in developing a new additional benefit in treating the patients, which is a common clinical situation.

Methodology

Study design

This study was an Open Label, Balanced, Randomized, Multi-Dose, Two-Treatment, Parallel, Comparative Phase III Clinical Trial to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Clevira Syrup [2].

Ethical conduct of the study

The study was conducted as per the Ethical guidelines for biomedical research on human participants, ICMR (2017), ICH (Step 5) 'Guidance on Good Clinical Practice. The study was initiated after obtaining proper ethical committee approvals and registered in Clinical trial registry of India (CTRI/2023/02/050004).

Patient information and consent

Patients were asked to read the informed consent document which was followed by a presentation by the trained study personnel. All the queries of the patients were resolved before obtaining their consent. Copy of the informed consent documents (English and vernacular language versions) used for obtaining consent for participation in the study. Patients were under medical supervision throughout their stay in the clinical facility to ensure safety and wellbeing of the patients.

Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion and exclusion

Patients who met all of the following criteria were considered for enrollment in the study:

Before enrolling in the study Hematology, Biochemistry, Serology, RT-PCR will be done to the patients for Diagnostic purpose/Confirmation of infection.

Inclusion criteria

Patients meeting all of the following criteria were considered for enrollment in the study:

Patients from either sex, at an age between 18-75 years, with an oral temperature of more than 38.0°C (100.4° F) without associated rash, body pain, Malaise, Lassitude, Bronchitis, Productive Cough, Cold, Running nose, Nasal Catarrh and Sneezing. Female patients, who tested negative for pregnancy (up to two weeks prior to the study).

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with Dengue hemorrhagic fever grade III and IV
  • Patients with platelet count less than 80,000/micro litre.
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Patients who have received blood or blood products transfusion, during the current illness
  • Patients with Thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), Leukemia, Hemophilia
  • Patients with serum ALT level 3 times higher than the upper limit of the normal range (>165 U/L) and Impaired renal function with serum creatinine> 1.5 mg/dl (males) and > 1.4 mg/dl (females).
  • Patients who were hypersensitive, to any of the components of the formulation.

Primary selection of patients

The primary selection was to assess the efficacy of Clevira from day one of enrollment/treatment initiation, soon after the confirmation of illness, which is defined as time taken for clinical recovery. Patients enrolled based on chest X-ray report. Due to common cold and cough, patient pulmonary imaging interference was evaluated by radiologist and physician. Hence 20 patients were enrolled in for treatment with Clevira syrup.

Common pulmonary report finding for patients:

  • Hyperinflation of the lungs
  • Air trapping
  • Increased lung markings
  • Flattening of the diaphragm

Sample size and treatment

Totally 22 patients were screened and 20 Patients were enrolled and received Clevira Syrup along with Standard Treatment for common cold and cough, 20 patients were received the daily dose of Clevira Syrup 10 ml twice or thrice daily for 7 to 10 days based on the severity of infection.

Data Analysis

Analysis sets

The statistical evaluation was performed using Chi-square test or Fisher exact test between the treatment groups. The proportion of patients with cold and cough on Day 10 and the percentage of patients receiving rescue therapy during the treatment period were analysis by using Pearson correlation coefficient or Spearman rank correlation. Statistical analysis was performed using XLSTAT/SAS softwares.

Safety analysis

A total of 20 patients involved in this study were successfully recovered from the infections. There were no adverse events and serious adverse events reported during course of the study. The planned safety analyses consisted of descriptive summaries of the data as relevant to the scale of data, e.g., frequency and percent for recovered days, and mean changes from baseline as appropriate. The details are provided in Table 6 and 7, respectively.

Efficacy and safety assessment

Evaluation Schedule

The first visit (Visit 01) is the screening Visit, followed by the second visit (Visit 02) which is a randomization visit/Study enrollment visit (Day 00).  The third visit (Visit 03) is evaluation visit on Day 01 to 10. (Visit 04) is follow up visit after One month, if required.  The visit is based upon the patient’s signs and symptoms, which are reduced between the treatment days and based on the Investigator’s decision.

Results

Out of 22 patients, 2 were found to be Negative for RT- PCR, hence 20 patients were enrolled for the study.  Based on RT PCR results infections with the patients has been identified. Some common symptoms were observed from the patients like cough, cold, running nose, head ache, body ache and stuffy nose etc. (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Identification of the infection by RT-PCR results.

X-Ray Findings and Observation

Emphysema was observed radiologically in 3 patients, where the inner walls of the alveolar sacs were found weaken and rupture, which resulted in larger air spaces, instead of many small ones. This reduces the surface area of the lungs and, in turn, the amount of oxygen that reaches your bloodstream. Postnasal drip is the annoying sensation of mucus dripping down your throat, making you cough and clear your throat frequently.  In 9 patients had post nasal drip findings. Bronchitis, was observed in 7 patients, where cough was also associated symptom. One patient had inflammation in airways and respiratory tract infection (Table 1).

Discussion

The main objectives of this study was to compare the efficacy of Clevira Syrup with Standard Supportive Care Treatment in Human Adult Patients with common cold and cough that affects nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs and monitor the safety and tolerability of Clevira in patient. There was a significant improvement in the quality of life of subjects in Clevira syrup related to the signs and symptoms of fever, sneezing, cough, headache, sore throat, runny nose, trouble in swallowing, compared to that of baseline.

From the study results of treatment with Clevira syrup, it is evident that the normalization of body temperature, cold symptoms, decrease in cough and infectious symptoms were down to significant levels in the treated Clevira syrup group from Day 1 to Day 10. This effect is probably due to the presence of antiviral property of A. paniculata, C. papaya, T. cordifolia and T. dioica which are the active ingredients of Clevira and it is proactive process of inhibit the viral growth [4,5]. It is clear that rapid recovery observed on Day 7 onwards in Clevira syrup group patients and herbal ingredients can boost to block [6,7] the spread of virus and prevent initial replication cycles [8] due to presence of M. azedarach [9] in Clevira. Thus, our present studies demonstrated that, Clevira is having a good anti-allergic activity [10]. It is also evident that Clevira is having a significant improvement from common cold and cough from Day 7 to Day 10 and it elucidated best recovered at end of the study Day 10 for 20 patients.

There was a significant improvement in the quality of life of subjects in Clevira group related to the fatigue, sense of feeling week, dizziness and sense of feeling depressed, compared to that of baseline and control group [11]. The overall response of Clevira group showed remarkable improvement [12] and were completely free from viral symptoms and very good subject compliance was also observed. There were no clinically significant adverse events during the entire study period [1].

Clevira, with its polyherbal ingredients showed a significant antiviral action against coronavirus, when given in addition to the standard of care medications suggested by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), which is also an recommended formulation for mild to moderate COVID-19 patients [1].

The antiviral property is also elucidated by the presence of 52 major phyto-constituents [2], which was identified by in silico studies, further substantiating its antiviral properties. From the Clinical study, it is clearly evaluated that all the hematological parameters were found to be normal and within normal limits at the end of the study period (Day 10) and all patients in treatment with Clevira Syrup (N = 20) showed no side effects and safety issues with respect to the parameters tested in this study.

Hence, this Phase III clinical study clearly demonstrates its clinical cure and normal vital signs & hematological results, to understand that Clevira Syrup is safe and efficacious in patients with Common cold signs and symptoms of the viral infection and for a rapid recovery without any adverse effects.

Conclusion

The Overall Clinical efficacy clearly demonstrates it good recovery percentage, which was observed among the infected patients for treatment with Clevira Syrup. Moreover, Clevira Syrup demonstrated, expedited cure, clinically on Day 7 to 10, showing the marked improvement of cure status, from the clinical signs and symptoms.

This randomized, Phase III clinical study has shown that Clevira is as clinically effective and safe as Contagious Respiratory Illness by Viruses causing cold and cough that infect the nose, throat, and respiratory track.
