Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Time to Improvement of Influenza Symptoms
Participants assessed the severity of 7 influenza-associated symptoms (cough, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion, feverishness/chills, muscle/joint pain, and fatigue) on a 4-point scale (0 = no symptoms, 1= mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe). Time to improvement of symptoms was defined as the time from the start of treatment to the time when all influenza symptoms were alleviated, maintained, or improved, as defined below, for a duration of at least 21.5 hours:
Preexisting symptoms (cough, fatigue, or muscle/joint pain that existed prior to influenza) that were worse at baseline must have improved at least 1 point from baseline
Preexisting symptoms not worse at baseline must have maintained baseline severity
New symptoms must have alleviated, defined as a symptom score of none (0) or mild (1).
Time to improvement of symptoms was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods; participants who did not experience improvement of symptom s were censored at the last observation.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants With Positive Influenza Virus Titer at Each Time Point
Virus titer was quantified from nasopharyngeal swabs (or throat swabs if nasopharyngeal swabbing was not feasible) using tissue culture methods. Positive influenza virus titer was defined as virus titer not less than the lower limit of quantification (0.7 log₁₀ of the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID₅₀/mL) among those assessed for virus titer on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9.
Percentage of Participants With Positive Influenza Virus by RT-PCR at Each Time Point
Influenza virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) was quantified from nasopharyngeal swabs (or throat swabs, if nasopharyngeal swabbing was not feasible). The percentage of participants with detectable virus RNA (2.05 for flu A and 2.83 for flu B log₁₀ virus particles/mL) measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) among those assessed on Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9.
Change From Baseline in Virus Titer at Each Time Point
Virus titer was quantified from nasopharyngeal swabs (or throat swabs if nasopharyngeal swabbing was not feasible) by tissue culture methods.
If virus titer was less than the lower limit of quantification, the virus titer was imputed 0.7 (TCID₅₀/mL).
Change From Baseline in Virus RNA (RT-PCR) at Each Time Point
Nasopharyngeal swabs (or throat swabs, if nasopharyngeal swabbing was not feasible) were obtained for viral quantitation. Virus RNA was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Area Under the Curve (AUC) Adjusted by Baseline in Influenza Virus Titer
This endpoint was defined as AUC of change from Baseline in virus titer from Day 1 to Day 9. AUC was calculated using the trapezoidal method.
Area Under the Curve (AUC) Adjusted by Baseline in Viral RNA
This endpoint was defined as AUC of change from baseline in the amount of virus RNA (RT-PCR) from Day 1 to Day 9. The AUC was calculated using the trapezoidal method.
Time to Cessation of Viral Shedding Determined by Virus Titer
Time to cessation of viral shedding by virus titer was defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and first time when the virus titer was below the limit of detection (0.7 log₁₀[TCID₅₀/mL]). The median and 95% confidence interval (CI) for time to cessation of viral shedding determined by virus titer was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method; participants whose virus titer had not reached cessation by the last observation time point were treated as censored at that time point.
Time to Cessation of Viral Shedding Determined by Virus RNA
Time to cessation of viral shedding by RT-PCR was defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and first time when the virus RNA was below the limit of detection measured by RT-PCR.
