Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Taplucainium Inhalation Powder (NOC-110) for Adults with Refractory or Unexplained Chronic Cough

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying a condition known as Refractory or Unexplained Chronic Cough, which is a persistent cough that lasts for a long time without a clear cause or does not respond to usual treatments. The study is testing a new treatment called Taplucainium Inhalation Powder, also known by its code name NOC-110. This medication is taken by inhaling a powder through a device called a Monodose Dry Powder Inhaler. The purpose of the study is to evaluate how effective and safe this treatment is for adults who have this type of chronic cough.

Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the Taplucainium Inhalation Powder or a placebo, which looks like the treatment but does not contain the active ingredient. The study will last for 28 days, during which participants will take the treatment once daily. The study will test three different dose levels of the medication: 1 mg, 3 mg, and 6 mg. Researchers will monitor how often participants cough over a 24-hour period to see if the treatment reduces cough frequency.

Throughout the study, participants will be asked to report any side effects they experience. The study will also assess changes in how severe the cough feels and the urge to cough, using simple scales and questionnaires. The goal is to determine if Taplucainium Inhalation Powder can help reduce the symptoms of chronic cough and improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition.

You will be asked to complete additional questionnaires to track any changes in your cough and its impact on your daily life.

5 final assessment

At the end of the 28 days, a final assessment will be conducted to evaluate changes in your cough frequency and severity.

You will also provide feedback on your overall impression of any improvements in your condition.

Taplucainium Chloride

Taplucainium Inhalation Powder (NOC-110) is a medication being tested to help people who have a chronic cough that doesn’t go away or can’t be explained. This medication is taken by inhaling it, which means you breathe it in so it can work directly in your lungs. The goal of using this medication is to see if it can reduce how often you cough over a day. The study is looking at how safe and effective this medication is when used once a day for 28 days. By participating in this trial, researchers hope to find out if this medication can help people with persistent coughs feel better and cough less often.

Refractory or Unexplained Chronic Cough – This condition is characterized by a persistent cough that lasts for more than eight weeks and does not respond to standard treatments. The cough is often dry and can occur at any time of the day or night. It may be triggered by various factors, including environmental irritants, but the exact cause is often unknown. The cough can be disruptive to daily life, affecting sleep and social interactions. Over time, the persistent coughing can lead to physical discomfort, such as sore throat or chest pain. The condition is diagnosed when other potential causes of chronic cough, such as asthma or gastroesophageal reflux disease, have been ruled out.
