Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part 1: Concentrations of EDP-938 in Plasma3 hours post-dose on Day 1 and pre-dose on Day 2 (hospitalized participants only), Day 3, and Day 5

Plasma concentrations of EDP-938 were assessed at the designated time points.

Part 1: Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)Day 1 to Day 28

TEAEs were defined as any event, side effect, or untoward medical occurrence in a participant enrolled in a clinical study whether or not it was considered to have a causal relationship to the study drug and first occurred or worsened during the post-baseline phase compared to baseline. Clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs and clinical laboratory results were reported as TEAEs.

Part 2: Model-Adjusted Daily Change From Baseline in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Shedding in Nasal Swab SamplesBaseline and pre-dose on Days 3, 5, 9, and 14

Daily change from baseline in RSV shedding was defined as the daily change from baseline in RSV ribonucleic acid (RNA) viral load and was measured using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) from nasal swabs. The model included treatment group (EDP-938, placebo) and Day (3, 5, 9, and 14) as fixed effect, associated baseline, and treatment group by Day interaction term as factors. An unstructured covariance matrix was imposed. The Satterthwaite approximation is used to estimate the denominator degrees of freedom.

Time to resolution of symptoms for outpatients who were not hospitalized was calculated as: first date/time of resolution of symptoms - date/time of first dose with conversion to days. Participants who did not achieve resolution and had not been followed through the Day 14 visit or completed the Day 14 questionnaire were censored at Day 14.

During the study, the parent(s)/caregiver(s) assessed the severity of RSV-related signs and symptoms. The ReSVinet assessed 7 symptoms, with each symptom being rated from 0 (not present) to 3 (severe), apart from fever which was scored from 0-2. The full range was 0 to 20 with higher scores representing more severe disease.
