Efficacy and Safety of Oral Pleconaril for Treatment of Colds Due to Picornaviruses in Adults: Results of 2 Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trials 2003-06-15 .txt text/plain 3985 215 45 More recently, retrospective analysis of 2 phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies found that pleconaril treatment provided clinical benefit for colds due to picornaviruses in previously healthy adults [10] . Calculations indicated that enrollment of 1000 subjects in each study was required to detect a 25% relative difference between treatment groups in the proportion of picornavirus-infected subjects reaching the primary end point (or an estimated 2-day difference in median time) with 90% power (2-sided test at the 5% level of significance [20] ). Among the picornavirus-infected (ITT-I) population, the time to reach the primary end point of illness alleviation was significantly shorter among pleconaril-treated subjects than among placebo recipients in each study (figure 1). severity score was reduced by 19% over the duration of the study for pleconaril recipients (table 4) , who also experienced significant reductions from baseline in symptom severity scores by day 2 of treatment, compared with placebo recipients (figure 2). ./cache/cord-010599-nwp2if8d.txt ./txt/cord-010599-nwp2if8d.txt
