What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to improvement of symptoms

    Time to improvement of symptoms is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment to improvement of influenza symptoms for a duration of at least 21.5 hours (24 hours - 10%).

    Time frame: Day 1 pretreatment upto Day 7

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage change in participants positive for influenza virus titer and viral RNA at end of treatment

    Defined as the percentage of patients whose virus titer and ribonucleic acid (RNA) load are become less than the lower limit of quantification among those assessed for virus titer and RNA load. RNA load is measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

    Time frame: 7 days

  2. Time to alleviation of symptoms

    Time to alleviation of symptoms is defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and the alleviation of influenza symptoms. The alleviation of influenza symptoms is defined as the time when all of 7 influenza symptoms (cough, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion, feverishness or chills, muscle or joint pain, and fatigue) have been assessed by the patient.

    Time frame: Day 1 pretreatment up to Day 7

  3. Time to improvement in the 4 systemic symptoms

    Defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and the improvement in the 4 systemic symptoms symptoms (headache, feverishness or chills, muscle or joint pain, and fatigue).

    Time frame: Day 1 pretreatment up to Day 7

  4. Time to improvement in the 3 respiratory symptoms

    Defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and the improvement in the 3 respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, and nasal congestion).

    Time frame: Day 1 pretreatment up to Day 7

  5. Time to resolution of fever

    Defined as the time between the initiation of the study treatment and the resolution of fever. The resolution of fever is defined as the time when the patient's self-measured temperature becomes less than 37º C.

    Time frame: Day 1 pretreatment up to Day 7

  6. Percentage of participants with adverse events

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 7

  7. Percentage of participants who had been hospitalized

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 7

  8. Percentage of participants with influenza-related complications

    Defined as the percentage of patients who experience each influenza-related complication (hospitalization, death, sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis, and radiologically-confirmed pneumonia) as an adverse event after the initiation of study treatment.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 7
