Study Summary

This trial looks at the side effects of using Nozin to prevent respiratory viral infections in stem cell transplant patients. Nozin is a non-antibiotic, alcohol-based nasal sanitizer that may prevent community acquired respiratory virus infection in stem cell transplant recipients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking patients undergoing stem cell transplants for malignant or non-malignant diseases, who can consent and follow the study plan. They must be able to visit the transplant site for 100 days post-transplantation. Those with recent respiratory infections, using antiviral therapies, allergic to Nozin's ingredients, having nasal issues, on oxygen therapy or using daily nasal products cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The PREV-NOSE STUDY is testing Nozin's effectiveness in preventing respiratory viral infections during stem cell transplant recovery. It compares standard practices against the use of Nozin—a non-antibiotic nasal sanitizer—to see if it reduces infection rates.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from Nozin may include irritation in the nose or an allergic reaction to its components like jojoba oil, orange oil, coconut oil, lauric acid, benzalkonium chloride or vitamin E.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (Nozin)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Beginning 7 days prior to transplant, patients receive Nozin via nasal single-use popswabs or single-use cotton tipped applicators and swab the inside of their nose BID up to 100 days after transplant.
Group II: Arm II (standard of care)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients receive standard of care.
