Complete article from COLDPREV I study published - strengthens documentation for ColdZyme

Enzymatica is presenting the recently published complete article from the COLDPREV I study in the Open Journal of Respiratory Diseases (OJRD). The double-blind placebo-controlled study evaluated ColdZyme® Mouth Spray for experimentally induced colds in healthy volunteers. The study results indicate that ColdZyme significantly reduces viral load and reduces the number of sick days with common cold symptoms.

The study was a pilot study conducted by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat) at Skåne University Hospital, and was previously published as both an abstract and a poster. In this randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled study, 46 subjects were inoculated (infected) with rhinovirus (cold virus). The results show a statistically significant difference between ColdZyme and placebo in reduction of both viral load (quantity of virus) in the throat (-99%) and number of days with common cold symptoms (-54%) from 6.5 to 3 days.

• The very interesting study results have provided us with valuable information that will aid in the design of future follow-up studies of ColdZyme," says Fredrik Lindberg, CEO of Enzymatica.

ColdZyme Mouth Spray is a CE-marked medical device, with the intended use of reducing the risk of colds or reducing the disease period when early symptoms are present by creating a protective barrier in the mouth and throat.

The analysis and graph are based on the number of people who were confirmed to be infected with the virus, or those who demonstrated symptoms.
