Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the antiviral efficacy of triple combination antiviral drug (TCAD) therapy (i.e., amantadine and ribavirin co-administered with oseltamivir) compared to oseltamivir monotherapy in immunocompromised subjects diagnosed with Influenza A;Secondary Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy, viral resistance patterns, safety, and tolerability of triple combination antiviral drug (TCAD) therapy in comparison to oseltamivir monotherapy administered orally to immunocompromised subjects diagnosed with Influenza A;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the time to clearing of viral shedding as determined by qRT-PCR using nasopharyngeal swabs.
