- Systolic bp <90 mm Hg.
4. Severity of symptoms at enrollment:
- Less severe hospitalized subjects are those who (but not limited to):
- are hemodynamically stable;
- may require oxygenation with facemask, facetent, nasal canula, etc;
- may or may not have radiological signs of lower respiratory tract disease; or
- have exacerbation of underlying chronic disease, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other cardiovascular conditions not leading to hemodynamic compromise.
- Critically ill hospitalized subjects are those who (but not limited to):
- require CPAP, BIPAP, mechanical ventilation;
- have hemodynamic instability (with or without pressor support); or
- have central nervous system involvement (eg encephalopathy, encephalitis).
5. Presence of influenza that in the Investigator’s judgment requires hospitalization for treatment and supportive care
6. 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, nausea and vomiting.
7. A positive result from a rapid influenza test (provided by GSK) or other available, local laboratory diagnostic test;
8. Baseline renal criteria as follows:
Sentinel Cohorts:
- Normal renal function: Baseline creatinine clearance within normal reference ranges (≥80 mL/min) for the first approximately 30 subjects enrolled;
- Mild renal impairment: Baseline creatinine clearance of 50-79 mL/min for the next approximately 10 subjects enrolled into the sentinel cohort;
- Moderate renal impairment: Baseline creatinine clearance of 30-49 mL/min for the next approximately 10 subjects enrolled into the sentinel cohort.
Post-sentinel cohorts:
- Normal renal function, mild or moderate renal impairment: creatinine clearance >30mL/min.
9. Baseline Liver Function Tests as follows: (refer to the protocol P31 For further details)
SEX
10. Male or Female subjects could be eligible if :
Males:
Male subjects with female partners of child bearing potential must comply with the until at least 36 hours (five half-lives) after the last dose of study medication.
a. Vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia.
b. Male condom plus partner use of one of the contraceptive options below:
- Contraceptive subdermal implant

This is an all-inclusive list of those methods that meet the following GSK definition of
highly effective: having a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and
correctly and, when applicable, in accordance with the product label. For non-product
methods (e.g., male sterility), the investigator determines what is consistent and correct
use. The GSK definition is based on the definition provided by the ICH [ICH, M3 (R2)
2009].”
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to properly use
these methods of contraception.
Females:
a. Non-reproductive potential defined as:
- Pre-menopausal females with one of the following:
- Documented tubal ligation
- Documented hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of bilateral tubal occlusion
