What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the antiviral effects of various treatments in adults aged 18 to 60 with early symptomatic influenza. This phase 2, multi-centre, adaptive platform trial compares several licensed influenza antiviral drugs and others with potential activity against the virus. The study aims to provide clear comparisons of antiviral activity to help guide treatment decisions and policy development. Participants may receive one of several antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir, favipiravir, zanamivir, baloxavir, molnupiravir, peramivir, laninamivir, or combinations of these medications. There is also a control group that receives no antiviral treatment except paracetamol for fever. Dosages and administration routes vary by drug and include oral, inhaled, and intravenous methods. The trial uses randomization to assign treatments, with at least 20% of participants assigned to the no treatment group. During the first five days, researchers will monitor the rate of viral clearance to assess antiviral activity. Additional measures include symptom relief and fever duration over 14 days. Participants will be closely followed up, with assessments including rapid antigen or PCR tests for influenza, symptom tracking, and safety monitoring. The total study period covers initial treatment and observation up to two weeks after starting treatment.
