|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

HHCs must be enrolled within 24 hours of IP randomization. No HHC will be enrolled before all HHCs have been screened. IP inclusion criteria - Age >=12 and <=64 years - Able to comply with the study protocol per investigator judgment - Diagnosed with acute influenza infection by investigator - Polymerase chain reaction [PCR] (+) or Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Test [RIDT] (+) for influenza A/B based local laboratory results - Presence of (a) fever or (b) any influenza symptoms - The time interval between the onset of fever or influenza symptoms and the pre-dose examinations is ≤48 hours - IP lives in a household where: o No HHC is known to have been diagnosed with influenza by a healthcare professional (HCP) o All HHCs are expected to meet the HHC inclusion criteria required for “All HHC living in the home at any time during the study” and none of the HHC exclusion criteria o ≥2 HHCs are expected to participate in the full study who have not received the influenza vaccine within 6 months prior to screening - Women of childbearing potential agree to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures Household Contact (HHC) inclusion criteria 1. All HHC living in the home at any time during the study must meet the following criteria - PCR (-) or RIDT (-) based on local laboratory result at Day 0 Visit - Willing to undergo screening visit as a scheduled/unscheduled visit after they return to the home if not at home at Day 0 Visit
2. HHC intended for full study must meet the following additional criteria for study entry - No influenza symptoms within 7 days prior to screening; mild symptoms allowed if due to pre-existing condition (e.g. allergies) - Tympanic temperature <38°C at screening - Will reside in the IP’s house for at least 7 of the next 9 days and will be present for scheduled study visits - Willing/able to measure/record temperature, or have another household member perform the task on his/her behalf. Furthermore, a responsible adult will assume responsibility to oversee or perform this task on behalf of minors - Has not been diagnosed with influenza or taken antivirals for influenza ≤6 months prior to screening - Does not have moderate or worse active infections OR taking systemic or an internally administered anti -biotic/ -viral/ -fungal - HHC lives in a household where: o No HHC has been diagnosed with influenza by an HCP o All HHCs meet the HHC inclusion criteria required for “All HHC living in the home at any time during the study” and none of the HHC exclusion criteria o ≥2 HHCs have not received the influenza vaccine ≤6 months prior to screening agree to participate in the full study
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
IP exclusion criteria - IPs with severe influenza virus infection requiring inpatient treatment - IPs judged by the investigator to be at high risk for complications of influenza, after consideration of the following or other potential risk factors: o Women who are pregnant or within 2 weeks post-partum; o Chronic respiratory diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder current asthma and cystic fibrosis; o Neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, heart disease, blood disorders, endocrine disorders, kidney disorders, liver disorders, metabolic disorders, and morbid obesity; o Compromised immune system due to disease or medications; o People younger than 19 years of age on long-term aspirin- or salicylate-containing medications; o American Indians or Alaska Natives; o People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities - IPs unable to swallow tablets - Women who are breastfeeding or have positive pregnancy test at pre-dose screening (unless exempted due to postmenopausal status or surgically sterile). - IPs weighing <40 kg - IPs with concurrent (non-influenza) infections requiring systemic anti -microbial / -viral therapy at the pre-dose examinations - IPs who have received an investigational monoclonal antibody for a viral disease in the last year - IPs who have received an investigational therapy within 30 days or 5 drug-elimination half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening - IPs living with another person who, based on available information meets the HHC exclusion criteria - Known hypersensitivity to baloxavir marboxil or the drug product excipients - Any other contraindication for treatment with baloxavir marboxil as deemed by the treating physician or Principal Investigator HHC exclusion criteria - Pregnant or within 2 weeks post-partum at screening - Immunocompromised (including HHC receiving immunosuppressant therapy, or those with cancer or human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection) - <2 years old - HHC who have received an investigational therapy within the 30 days or 5 drug-elimination half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. Percentage of HHC who become PCR+ for influenza by Day 5 post IP randomization. HHCs may be symptomatic or asymptomatic and their virus subtype must match that of the IP in their household. The primary efficacy analysis population will consist of all enrolled unvaccinated HHCs of the randomized IPs. |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1. Baseline to Day 5 (5 days) |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Percentage of HHCs who become PCR+ for influenza by Day 9 post IP randomization 2. Percentage of HHCs who become PCR+ for influenza by Day 5 post IP randomization AND report influenza symptoms at any time during the study. 3. Percentage of Households with at least one HHC who meets the Primary Endpoint 4. Percentage of IP with Adverse Events (AEs) 5. IP only: Change from baseline in health-related quality of life according to EuroQol 5 dimensions 5 (EQ-5D-5L; Appendix 3) questionnaire at Day 3 and Day 9 Visits 6.
