E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of treatment with 300 mg or 600 mg of intravenous (IV) zanamivir twice daily compared to 75 mg of oral oseltamivir twice daily on time to clinical response (TTCR). Clinical response is defined as resolution of at least 4 of the 5 vital signs described below within the respective resolution criteria, maintained for at least 24 hours, or hospital discharge, whichever comes first: Please refer to page 21 of Protocol

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To assess reduction in viral load from nasopharyngeal swabs (and lower respiratory tract samples, if available) following treatment with 300 mg or 600 mg of IV zanamivir twice daily compared to 75 mg oral oseltamivir twice daily. •To evaluate clinical measures of influenza illness following treatment with 300 mg or 600 mg IV zanamivir twice daily compared to 75 mg oral oseltamivir twice daily using a variety of measures including improvement in Katz ADL score and ADL activities, improvement in level of activity, duration and severity of influenza symptoms, duration of hospital stay, duration of ICU stay, complications of influenza, associated antibiotic use, modality and duration of invasive and non-invasive ventilator support, duration and quantity of oxygen supplementation and overall and disease specific mortality.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria: 1.Male or female aged greater than or equal16 years (greater than or equal 18 years where required by local regualtory authorities or IRB/IEC); a female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is: a.of non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal); or, b.of child-bearing potential, has a negative pregnancy test at Baseline, and agrees to one of the following methods for avoidance of pregnancy during the study and until the Post-Treatment +28 Days Follow-up Assessment: •Abstinence; or, •Oral contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone; or, •Injectable progestogen; or, •Implants of levonorgestrel; or, •Estrogenic vaginal ring; or, •Percutaneous contraceptive patches; or •Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) showing that the expected failure rate is less than 1% per year as stated in the IUD or IUS Product Label; or, •Has a male partner who is sterilized; or, •Double barrier method: condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a vaginal spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository). 2.Vital signs criteria defined as 3 or more of the following at Baseline: •Presence of fever [oral temperature of ≥38°C (≥100.4°F), rectal, tympanic of ≥38.5°C (≥101.3°F), or axilla ≥37.4°C (≥99.3°F)] at Baseline. However, this requirement is waived if: i.The subject has a history of fever within the 24 hours prior to Baseline and has been administered any antipyretic(s) in the 24 hours prior to Baseline; or, ii.The subject has no history of documented fever as defined above, but reports a symptom of feverishness at some time during the 48 hours prior to Baseline. AND at least 2 out of the following 4: •Arterial oxygen saturation <95% on room air by trans-cutaneous method, or need for any supplemental oxygenation or ventilatory support [mechanical ventilation, bi-level positive airway pressure (bipap), continuous positive airway pressure (cpap)], or increase in oxygen supplementation requirement of ≥2 litres for subjects with chronic oxygen dependency. For those subjects with a history of chronic hypoxia (without supplemental oxygen), an arterial oxygen saturation of at least 3% below the patient’s historical baseline oxygen saturation will satisfy this criterion. •Respiration rate >24 breaths per minute. For those subjects who require ventilatory support or oxygen supplementation, this requirement is waived. •Heart rate >100 beats per minute. •Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg. 3.Onset of influenza symptoms within 6 days prior to study enrolment. Symptoms may include cough, dyspnea, sore throat, feverishness, myalgias, headache, nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion), fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea and vomiting. 4.Clinical symptoms of influenza with positive influenza diagnostic test result. •Subjects who have confirmed influenza as determined by a positive result in a rapid antigen test (RAT) for influenza A or influenza B, or a laboratory test for influenza including but not limited to influenza virus antigen test, virus culture or RT-PCR test. OR Strong suspicion of influenza ilness based on clinical symptoms and local surveillance information. Subjects with a negative RAT or pending other influenza laboratory test result may be enrolled. 5.Subjects/legal ly accepatable representatvi (LAR) of minors and unconscious adults willing and able to give written informed consent to participate in the study, and subjects willing to adhere to the procedures stated in the protocol (or included as permitted by local regulatory authorities, IRB/IECs or local laws). 6.Severity of any medical illness that, in the Investigator’s judgement, justifies hospitalization of the subject for treatment and supportive care 7.French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category Subjects who meet the above criteria are considered eligible for the study. This includes, but is not limited to, subjects who are intubated/mechanically ventilated, immunocompromised, HIV positive or have renal impairment requiring approved renal replacement therapies.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study: 1.Subjects who have taken more than a total of 3 days (6 doses) of approved anti-influenza therapy (i.e. oral oseltamivir, oral inhaled zanamivir, oral amantadine, oral rimantadine, or oral ribavirin) in the period from onset of symptoms and prior to enrolment. 2.Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to survive beyond 48 hours from Baseline. 3.Subjects who are considered to require concurrent therapy with another influenza antiviral medication. 4.Subjects who are known or suspected to be hypersensitive to any component of the study medications. 5.Subjects with creatinine clearance <10 mL/min who are not being treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). 6.Subjects who require Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) at Baseline (enrolled subject who subsequently require ECMO may continue in the study). 7.Subjects who require routine/intermittent hemodialysis or continuous peritoneal dialysis (due to inability to provide appropriate dosing schedule for oseltamivir) at Baseline. CRRT modalities are allowed (CVVH, CVVHD, CVVHDF, SLED, SCUF, CAVH, CAVHD, CAVHDF) as are sustained or extended techniques (SLED, SLEDD, EDD). 8.Liver toxicity criteria based on local laboratory results obtained within 24 hours of Baseline: •ALT or AST ≥3xULN and bilirubin ≥2xULN •ALT ≥5xULN 9.Underlying chronic liver disease with evidence of severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). 10.History of severe cardiac disease or clinically significant arrhythmia (either on ECG or by history) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the safety of the individual subject. 11.Females who are pregnant (positive urine or serum pregnancy test at Baseline) or are breastfeeding. 12.Treatment with investigational parenteral anti-influenza drugs (IV peramivir, IV zanamivir or IV oseltamivir) in the 4 weeks prior to Baseline. 13.QT criteria at Baseline as defined below: •QTcB or QTcF >480 msec •If a subject has bundle branch block then criteria is QTcB or QTcF >510 msec 14.French and Korean subjects: the French and Korean subject has participated in any study using an investigational drug during the previous 30 days. This criterion may also apply in other countries if required by local regulatory authorities or IRB/IECs.
