The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and virologic benefit of pimodivir in combination with Standard-of-Care (SOC) treatment compared to placebo in combination with SOC treatment.
This double-blind (neither researchers nor participants know what treatment participant is receiving) study will evaluate efficacy/safety of pimodivir in combination with SOC treatment versus placebo in combination with SOC treatment in adolescent (13 to 17 years), adult (18 to 65 years), and elderly (greater than \[\>\] 65 but less than or equal to \[\<=\] 85 years) non-hospitalized participants with influenza A infection who are at risk of developing complications. The study will be conducted in 3 phases: screening phase, double-blind treatment period (5 days), a post treatment follow-up period (23 days). Study evaluations include efficacy, clinical and virological outcomes, pharmacokinetics (PK), PK/pharmacodynamics, biomarkers, safety and tolerability. The duration of participation in the study for each participant is 28 days.
Participants will receive pimodivir 600 mg, orally, twice daily, for 5 days (on Days 1 through 5; for participants who will receive only 1 dose of pimodivir on Day 1 \[evening\], dosing will continue until the morning of Day 6).
Participants will receive placebo matching to pimodivir, orally twice daily for 5 days (on Days 1 through 5; for participants who will receive only 1 dose of placebo on Day 1 \[evening\], dosing will continue until the morning of Day 6).
Participants may receive SOC treatment as a part of background therapy. The SOC treatment is determined by the investigator based on local practice, and may include influenza antivirals and/or supportive care only. The choice to use influenza antivirals as part of the SOC should be made before randomization. The influenza antiviral should be started no later than Day 2 morning (up to noon).
