Recently, the Spobiotic Research Center collaborated with Hanoi Medical University to conduct the study titled “Efficacy of Saline Solution and Probiotic Products in Preventing Upper Respiratory Infections in Children Aged 2 to 6 in Son Tay Town, Hanoi, 2024.” This study, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hoai Thu, was reviewed and accepted by the Institute for Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in probiotic research, aiming to support respiratory disease prevention in young children and reduce antibiotic dependency, especially in the field of preventive healthcare

This is the first study in the world to demonstrate the safety and superior effectiveness of nasal spray probiotics containing Bacillus spores (LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS) in preventing and reducing the recurrence of upper respiratory tract infections in children. Clinical trial results revealed that after 14 and 28 days of use, LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS effectively reduced typical respiratory symptoms-such as runny nose, sinusitis, hoarseness, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis compared to baseline and in comparison, with saline solution.

A key highlight of this research is the outstanding ability of LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS to prevent pathogenic viruses and bacteria, significantly reducing infection rates and the risk of viral infections such as including RSV, influenza, and rhinovirus, compared to physiological saline. Additionally, probiotics have shown the ability to regulate immunity, strengthening respiratory defenses and significantly reduce the rate of children needing to miss school or take antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.

The study received an “Excellent”  by the evaluation committee due to its high applicability and safety for children. LiveSpo^® NAVAX promises to become a potential solution in preventing respiratory tract infections, especially during the changing seasons, helping to minimize dependence on antibiotics in the treatment of respiratory infections in children.

Four staff members from the Spobio Research Center, ANABIO R&D Ltd, represented the company at the 27th National Scientific Conference on Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, held from November 1^st to 3^rd, 2024, in Ninh Binh City, Ninh Binh Province. This prestigious event attracted numerous leading experts, doctors, and pharmacists from both domestic and international communities to discuss, share, and update each other on prominent advancements in the field of Otolaryngology.

At the conference, Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Pham Tran Anh, who works at the Central Otolaryngology Hospital and is also a lecturer at the Department of Otolaryngology, Hanoi Medical University, presented a report titled “Effectiveness of Nasal-spraying Bacillus Spores in Preventing Respiratory Tract Infections in Children: Results from the Community Intervention Study 2023-2024.” This report is part of a scientific project in collaboration with the Institute of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, and the Spobio Research Center, ANABIO R&D Ltd. The report highlighted the safety and superior efficacy of the LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS products in protecting children’s respiratory health. Specifically, LiveSpo^® NAVAX significantly reduced the incidence of typical respiratory infection symptoms such as runny nose, sinusitis, hoarseness, sore throat, and tonsillitis by up to 60% after 14 and 28 days of use. Furthermore, the rate of children missing school due to illness and the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications also showed a significant decrease. Notably, LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS helped reduce the rate of bacterial infections by up to 70% and decreased the risk of viral infections such as RSV and influenza by more than 11 folds, showing superior results compared to the use of saline solution.

The study results present new opportunities for using Bacillus spores to prevent respiratory diseases in children, especially during seasonal changes. The report by Assoc. Prof. Dr. MD. Pham Tran Anh received considerable attention and high praise from leading experts and doctors in the field of Otolaryngology.

Outside of the report sessions, the booth showcasing LiveSpo^® NAVAX and LiveSpo^® NAVAX KIDS also drew considerable attention from experts and doctors. Delegates expressed special interest in the effectiveness of these products in preventing respiratory diseases in children.

On September 21, 2024, the ANABIO Spobiotic Research Center (ANABIO R&D) had the honor of welcoming Mr. Lukasz – an investor from Mekong Capital – to visit its Center.

During the visit, Mr. Lukasz was briefed by the R&D specialists at the Center on the research and development processes, as well as the outstanding efficacy of the probiotic products currently in development.
