OM Pharma to Unveil the Largest Multi-Country Real-World Evidence Study on Broncho‑Vaxom® (OM‑85) for RTI Prevention at EAACI 202614.6.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
REACH study met its first primary endpoint, showing that Broncho‑Vaxom® (OM‑85) was associated with a 28-38% reduction in respiratory tract infection rates at 12 months and 29-41% reduction at 24 months, comparing post-treatment versus pre-treatment initiation.1 The reduction was observed regardless of the frequency of respiratory tract infections in the previous year (1-3, >3) and across age subgroups (1-5, 6-11, 12-17, 18-64, >64 years).1 By reflecting everyday clinical practice and capturing episodes that necessitated a visit to the doctor, these extensive data offer critical new evidence of the therapy’s long-term relevance for patients suffering from recurrent respiratory tract infections. Evaluating a vast cohort of more than 15,790 paediatric, adolescent, adult and elderly patients in China, Italy, and Belgium, REACH represents the largest and only multi-country real-world evidence study to date for Broncho-Vaxom®.1,2 The study cohort includes patients with different co-morbidit
