Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Viral Load
Measured in nasal washes by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in participants inoculated with respiratory syncytial virus-A (RSV-A) Memphis 37b.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Total Symptom Score
Total symptom scores (from the 10-item Diary Card) were used to calculate the AUC. Each individual symptom score was graded on a scale of 0-3, where Grade 0 is absence, Grade 1 is just noticeable, Grade 2 is bothersome but does not prevent participation in activities and Grade 3 is bothersome and interferes with activities: Runny nose Stuffy nose Sneezing Sore throat Earache Malaise (Tiredness) Cough Shortness of breath Headache Muscle/ joint ache/ stiffness Total symptom score is the sum of individual symptom scores with a potential range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst). Data presented is hours x score.
Peak Total Symptom Score
Peak total symptom score was defined as the highest total symptom score between first dose of study drug and Day 12. Values presented are a sum of individual symptom scores, with a potential range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst). Total symptom scores at the time of the first dose of study drug can be before or after dosing. Measured by the 10-item Diary Card. Each individual symptom score was graded on a scale of 0-3, where Grade 0 is absence, Grade 1 is just noticeable, Grade 2 is bothersome but does not prevent participation in activities and Grade 3 is bothersome and interferes with activities: Runny nose Stuffy nose Sneezing Sore throat Earache Malaise (Tiredness) Cough Shortness of breath Headache Muscle/ joint ache/ stiffness

Time to Resolution From Peak Total Symptom Score
Time to resolution from peak total symptom score was defined as the time in days from the highest total symptom score (between first dose of study drug and Day 12) until the start of the first 24-hour symptom-free period (after the highest total symptom score). Total symptom scores at the time of the first dose of study drug can be before or after dosing.
Total Weight of Nasal Mucus Produced
Measured via weighed paper tissues and reported as a mean total across all study days.
Peak Viral Load
Peak viral load was defined as the highest quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) viral load value between first dose of study drug and Day 12. Measured by nasal wash RT-qPCR.
Time to Peak Viral Load
Time to peak viral load was defined as the time to the highest quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) viral load value between first dose of study drug and Day 12. Measured by nasal wash RT-qPCR.
Time to Resolution From Peak Viral Load
Time to resolution from peak viral load was defined as the time from peak until first confirmed undetectable assessment between first dose of study drug and Day 12. Measured by by nasal wash quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).
Time to Cessation of Virus Detection

Number of Participants With Correlation of Plasma Pharmacokinetic (PK) Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Viral Load AUC
The overall criteria to define correlation was based on identifying a PK AUC associated with a less favorable viral load AUC i.e. a low PK AUC and a high viral load AUC indicated a correlation.
