Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area under the curve (AUC) of the log10 Nasal Viral Load on Day 8
Day 8

Area under the curve (AUC) of the log10 nasal viral load is measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Secondary Endpoints

Time to Resolution of Influenza Symptoms After Initiation of Study Drug
Baseline up to Day 14
Safety and tolerability based on assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory assessments, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and vital signs
Day 14
