A total of 30 neuraminidase gene sequences (23 influenza A/H3N2, 5 influenza B and 2 negative) from 21 participants were obtained from 76 samples. There were no resistance associated neuraminidase mutations or mutations in the neuraminidase active site identified in viruses isolated during this study. Therefore the frequency of resistance emergence to zanamivir could not be determined.

Influenza symptoms were assessed at Baseline (pre-dose): the presence of the following symptoms were recorded: nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion), feverishness, cough, myalgias, fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia, dyspnea, headache, sore throat, nausea and vomiting. The investigator assessed and recorded influenza symptoms based on interview with the participants. In cases where participants were not able to communicate their symptoms, in participants ventilated and/or sedated, the investigator recorded those signs/symptoms as 'unable to assess'.

Influenza symptoms were assessed at Baseline (pre-dose) and throughout the study period as presence of the following symptoms were recorded: nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion), feverishness, cough, myalgias, fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia, dyspnea, headache, sore throat, nausea and vomiting. The investigator assessed and recorded influenza symptoms based on interview with the participants. In cases where participants were not able to communicate their symptoms, in participants ventilated and/or sedated, the investigator recorded those signs/symptoms as 'unable to assess'.

Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected on Day 1 up to Day 33 (last day) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization. The baseline assessments were referred to assessments at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the indicated time point minus the Baseline value. Analysis was done for participants with positive Influenza A RNA and Influenza B RNA. Data is presented for Day 3, Day 5 and last day.

Quantitative viral culture as 50 % tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) defined as median tissue culture infective dose is that amount of a pathogenic agent that produces pathological change in 50% of cell cultures inoculated. It was carried out on nasopharyngeal swabs collected on Day 1 up to Day 33 (last day) depending on the extend of continuation of treatment and duration of hospitalization. The baseline assessments were referred to assessments at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at the indicated time point minus the Baseline value.

Brief Summary
This study will be an open-label, multi-center, single arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IV zanamivir 600mg twice daily for 5 days in hospitalized subjects with laboratory confirmed influenza infection.
Detailed Description
Adult subjects and adolescent subjects (≥50 kg) with normal renal function will receive 600mg per dose. Subjects with renal impairment will receive an adjusted dose based on calculated creatinine clearance. The initial 5 day treatment course may be extended for up to 5 additional days if viral shedding is determined to be ongoing or if clinical symptoms warrant further treatment with IV zanamivir. The study duration is approximately 28 days for subjects whose treatment duration is 5 days, and up to approximately 33 days for subjects whose treatment duration is extended to a maximum of 10 days. The study will consist of Pre-dose Baseline Assessments (Day 1), During Treatment Assessments (Days 1 to 5, and up to Day 10), and Follow-up Assessments on the following days: Post-Treatment +2, +5, +9, +16 and +23 Days. For subjects who have been discharged from hospital, the Post-Treatment +2, +5, +9 and +16 Days Assessments can be made by telephone contact.
