9. Patients with hypoxemia requiring oxygen support.
10. Clinical evidence of worsening of any chronic medical condition (temporally associated with the onset of symptoms of influenza) which, in the Investigator's opinion, indicates that such finding(s) could represent complications of influenza
11. Presence of immunocompromised status due to chronic illness, previous organ transplant, or use of immunosuppressive medical therapy including systemic steroids.
12. Presence of known Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome-defining illness, chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
13. Receipt of any dose of antiviral therapy such as, but not limited to, rimantadine, amantadine, peramivir, zanamivir, laninamivir or oseltamivir in the 7 days prior to screening
14. Enrollment in any other investigational drug or device study, any disease or vaccine study within 30 days prior to Day 1 or within 5 half-lives of the investigational compound, whichever is longer
15. Presence of any pre-existing illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would place the subject at an unreasonably increased risk through participation in this study
16. Subjects unable to comply with study protocol procedures and study visit schedules for whatever reason
17. Subjects unable to take oral predose medication
18. Known or suspected alcohol or drug abuse, that is, abuse of a level that would compromise the safety or cooperation of the subject in the opinion of the Investigator
19. Subjects on chronic medications where the dose has not been stable for at least 3 months |
