Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety and Tolerability, as Measured by the Number of Adverse Events.
14 days

Safety was evaluated through assessment of Adverse Events (AEs).

Safety and Tolerability, as Measured by the Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events.
14 days

Safety evaluation included assessment of Adverse Events (AEs).

Change From Baseline in Influenza Virus Titer (48 Hours)
Baseline and 48 hours

The time-weighted change from baseline in log10 tissue culture infective dose50 (TCID50/mL) was calculated on a by-subject basis through 48 hours using the trapezoidal rule with all available data minus the baseline value. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals about the median time-weighted change from baseline were presented for each treatment group.

Time to Alleviation of Symptoms (Kaplan-Meier Estimate)
Information collected twice daily beginning predose on Day 1 and through Day 9, then once daily through Day 14

The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to alleviation of symptoms calculated as the number of hours from initiation of study drug until the start of the time period in which all 7 symptoms of influenza were either absent or present at a level no greater than mild for at least 21.5 (24 hours - 10%) hours. Subjects with missing diary data were excluded and those who did not experience alleviation of symptoms were censored at the last observed symptom assessment.

Time to Clinical Stability (Kaplan-Meier Estimate)
14 days

Time to clinical stability was summarized overall and for individual clinical signs for each treatment group using the method of Kaplan Meier. Subjects who did not experience clinical stability were censored at the date of their last non-missing assessment during the study (whether this assessment occurred as an inpatient or as an outpatient).

Frequently asked questions about Peramivir

What is Peramivir used for?

Peramivir is an antiviral small molecule developed for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated human influenza, including seasonal influenza. It has been studied in adults, elderly and higher risk subjects, pediatric patients, and hospitalized patients with influenza-associated lower respiratory tract infections. It is administered intravenously.

Who makes Peramivir?

Peramivir is developed by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker BCRX. The company has sponsored the clinical trial program evaluating the drug across adult, elderly, pediatric, and hospitalized influenza populations.

What phase is Peramivir in?

Peramivir is in Phase 2 development according to the current program status, and it is investigational. Its completed clinical trial program includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, with no active trials currently listed. It has not been established as approved for the indications studied.

What clinical trials is Peramivir in?

Peramivir has been evaluated in five completed trials, including NCT02665351 in adults hospitalized for influenza-associated lower respiratory tract infections, NCT02635724 in elderly and higher risk subjects, NCT02369159 versus oseltamivir in pediatric subjects, and NCT00957996 in hospitalized subjects with confirmed or suspected influenza. Total enrollment across the program was 708 participants.

How was Peramivir studied in clinical trials?
