Clinical Trials Related to Guaifenesin NR Liquid (Guaifenesin)

Safety and Efficacy of Mucinex and IR Guaifenesin the Treatment of Symptoms of Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infections [Completed]
The study is designed to meet regulatory requirement outside the US. The dosing regimen and assessments timepoints were dictated by immediate release (IR) guaifenesin (GGE) and do not match approved Mucinex labeling in the U. S. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Mucinex is effective and non-inferior as compared to placebo and immediate release guaifenesin in the treatment of symptoms of acute upper respiratory infections. This design was required based on EU regulatory guidance.

Single Dose Trial of Extended Release Combination Tablet Codeine and Guaifenesin [Completed]
The objectives of this study are (a) to determine if drug levels from a single dose of an extended-release Codeine/Guaifenesin tablet are similar to an immediate-release tablet given every four hours containing lower doses considered safe for over-the-counter use; (b) to evaluate if food affects the drug levels of this extended-release Codeine/Guaifenesin tablet after a single administration; and (c) to assess the safety and tolerability of the Codeine/Guaifenesin extended-release and immediate release tablet formulations.

Safety and Efficacy Study of Guaifenesin and Pseudoephedrine for Symptomatic Therapy to Treat Acute RTI [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with Mucinex D lowers the use of antibiotics in the treatment of upper respiratory infection when compared to placebo

Warming Sensation Intensity and Acceptability of the Flavour, Local Tolerability of Paracetamol 500 mg + Phenylephrine 10mg + Guaifenesin 200 mg Syrup in Patients Suffering a Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) [Completed]
This is an open label, in-use study to assess the warming sensation, acceptability and local tolerability of paracetamol 500 mg + phenylephrine 10mg + Guaifenesin 200 mg syrup, given as a single dose in subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. The purpose is to evaluate the acceptability concerning a warming sensation effect and its potential benefit in the target population. The primary objective is to assess the warming sensation caused by the excipient IFF flavor 316 282, in a syrup containing paracetamol 500 mg + phenylephrine 10mg + Guaifenesin 200 mg per 30 ml syrup. The syrup contains (0. 15% w/v) warming flavor. The Secondary Objectives are to assess subject acceptability of the syrup and the safety and tolerability of the syrup. The study will be run in fifty-six (56) subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) for 7 days or less, e. g. nasal congestion associated with colds and flu symptoms such as pain, headache and/or fever. Subjects must have one or more symptoms per category: 1. mild to moderate body pain, headache, fever or sore throat 2. nasal congestion (blocked nose) with or without rhinorrhea (runny nose) or sneezing 3. productive cough Adolescents will be included in the study population

Comparison Between Dexchlorpheniramine and Dexchlorpheniramine/Pseudoephedrine/Guaifenesin in Respiratory Infections [Not yet recruiting]
Patients with allergic rhinitis frequently present exacerbation of the atopic symptoms during viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. Also, allergic rhinitis makes the mucosa more reactive to infectious agents and potentiates mucus production. The combination of dexchlorpheniramine, pseudoephedrine and guaifenesin elicits antihistaminic, decongestant and expectorant effects. The study hypothesizes is that this product is superior to dexchlorpheniramine alone in the relief of allergic symptoms and in promoting mucus elimination in atopic patients with viral infections of the upper respiratory tract.
