- Presence of fever [oral temperature of >=38 deg C, rectal, tympanic of >=38.5 deg C or axilla >=37.4 deg C] at Baseline. However, this requirement is waived if the subject has a history of fever within the 48 hours prior to Baseline and has been administered any antipyretic(s) in the 48 hours prior to Baseline.
- Hospitalized subjects with symptomatic influenza as defined by ANY of the following. a. Moderate to severe tachypnea (respiratory rate >=24/minute) OR b. Moderate to severe dyspnea (unable to speak in full sentences) OR c. Arterial oxygen saturation <95% on room air by trans-cutaneous method, or need for any supplemental oxygenation or ventilatory support [mechanical ventilation, bi-level positive airway pressure (bipap), continuous positive airway pressure (cpap)], or increase in oxygen supplementation requirement of >=2 litres for subjects with chronic oxygen dependency. For those subjects with a history of chronic hypoxia (without supplemental oxygen), an arterial oxygen saturation of at least 3% below the patient's historical baseline oxygen saturation will satisfy this criterion OR d. Hemodynamic instability, defined as systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or heart rate >100 beats per minute OR e. Subject who became dehydrated and need whole-body management by hospitalization.
- Onset of influenza symptoms within 6 days prior to study enrolment. Symptoms may include cough, dyspnea, sore throat, feverishness, myalgias, headache, nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion), fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia, nausea and vomiting.
- Subjects/legally acceptable representative of unconscious adults willing and able to give written informed consent to participate in the study, and subjects willing to adhere to the procedures stated in the protocol.
- Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to survive beyond 48 hours from Baseline.
- Subjects who are considered to require concurrent therapy with another influenza antiviral medication.
- Subjects who are known or suspected to be hypersensitive to any component of the study medications.
- Subjects who require Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) at Baseline (enrolled subject who subsequently require ECMO may continue in the study).
- Liver toxicity criteria based on local laboratory results obtained at Baseline: a. ALT or AST >=3xULN and bilirubin >=2xULN b. ALT >=5xULN
- Underlying chronic liver disease with evidence of severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).
- History of severe cardiac disease or clinically significant arrhythmia (either on ECG or by history) which, in the opinion of the investigator or sub-investigator, will interfere with the safety of the individual subject.
- Females who are pregnant (positive urine or serum pregnancy test at Baseline) or are breastfeeding.
- QT criteria at Baseline as defined below: a. QTcB or QTcF >480 msec b. If a subject has bundle branch block then criteria is QTcB or QTcF >510 msec
- Subject has participated in any study using an investigational drug during the previous 30 days.
