Influenza Resistance Information Study
- Registration Number
- NCT00884117
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
This study will assist in the early detection of influenza resistant to antivirals and will monitor the clinical outcome of adults and children infected with influenza according to subtype and susceptibility. Participants clinically diagnosed with influenza will undergo a rapid diagnostic test and viral sampling at Baseline and on Days 3, 6, and 10. Participants will be clinically managed according to local guidelines and the decision to treat/not treat will be at the discretion of the Investigator.

Group Intervention Description Participants Infected with Influenza Oseltamivir Participants with a positive diagnostic test of influenza and/or displaying symptoms suggestive of influenza-like illness will be enrolled and followed for up to 10 days after informed consent for virological surveillance and assessment of clinical outcomes. Participants may receive treatment including oseltamivir, other treatment/medication, or no treatment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants Exhibiting Treatment-Emergent Resistance by Study Year Among Participants With H3N2 or H1N1pdm09 Infections From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 10 (assessed on Days 1, 3, 6, 10) during Study Years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Pre-defined mutations in viral RNA were noted, the presence of which was defined as genotypic resistance. Treatment-emergent resistance was defined as the presence of genotypic or phenotypic resistance from a post-Baseline sample in the setting of a previously non-resistant Baseline sample. The percentage of participants with treatment-emergent resistance was reported by study year for participants with H3N2 or H1N1pdm09 infections. Only data with evaluable participants were reported.
Number of Participants With Genotypic Resistance Baseline (Day 1) and post-Baseline (Days 3, 6, 10) Samples were analyzed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Pre-defined mutations in viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) were noted, the presence of which was defined as genotypic resistance. The number of participants with genotypic resistance at Baseline was reported. The number of participants with genotypic resistance post-Baseline was determined by a collective count of all participants who had a resistance mutation at least once on Days 3, 6, and/or 10. (Hereafter, "H" stands for hemagglutinin and "N" stands for neuraminidase in abbreviations of viral subtype such as H1N1, H1N1pdm09, and H3N2.)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Viral RNA Detected by RT-PCR on Day 3 Among Children Treated With Oseltamivir Day 3 Time to Non-Detection of Viral RNA Among Participants With H1N1pdm09 Infections From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 10 (assessed on Days 1, 3, 6, 10) Time to non-detection/viral clearance was the time between symptom onset and the day on which viral RNA was no longer detected, or the last visit date if the participant was not RNA-negative at that visit. Time to non-detection/viral clearance was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and expressed in days.

Time to non-detection/viral clearance was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and expressed in days.
Time to Non-Detection of Viral RNA Among Participants With H3N2 Infections From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 10 (assessed on Days 1, 3, 6, 10) Time to non-detection/viral clearance was the time between symptom onset and the day on which viral RNA was no longer detected, or the last visit date if the participant was not RNA-negative at that visit.

Time to Non-Detection of Viral RNA Among Participants With Influenza B Infections From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 10 (assessed on Days 1, 3, 6, 10) Time to non-detection/viral clearance was the time between symptom onset and the day on which viral RNA was no longer detected, or the last visit date if the participant was not RNA-negative at that visit. Time to non-detection/viral clearance was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and expressed in days.
Viral Load Among Adults Treated With Oseltamivir Days 1, 3, 6, 10 Viral load was determined for those with detectable virus above the lower limit of quantification (LLQ) of 1.82 for influenza A viruses and 1.99 for influenza B viruses. The viral load from each sample was averaged among all participants and expressed in log10 of the number of viral particles per milliliter (log10 vp/mL).

Percentage of Participants With Symptom Resolution on Day 6 Comparing Resistant and Susceptible Viruses Day 6 Pre-defined mutations in viral RNA were noted, the presence of which was defined as genotypic resistance. Phenotypic resistance was defined as 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) more than 10-fold higher than the median value for all viruses of the same subtype. Treatment-emergent resistance was defined as the presence of genotypic or phenotypic resistance from a post-Baseline sample in the setting of a previously non-resistant Baseline sample. Susceptible viruses were those that did not exhibit treatment-emergent resistance. The percentage of participants with mild or absent symptoms on Day 6 was reported and stratified by resistant and susceptible viruses.

Susceptible viruses were those that did not exhibit treatment-emergent resistance. The percentage of participants by earliest post-Baseline test day on which viral RNA was not detected was reported and stratified by resistant and susceptible viruses.

Phenotypic resistance was defined as IC50 more than 10-fold higher than the median value for all viruses of the same subtype. Treatment-emergent resistance was defined as the presence of genotypic or phenotypic resistance from a post-Baseline sample in the setting of a previously non-resistant Baseline sample.

Total Daily Symptom Score According to Global Assessment by the Investigator Among Adults Treated With Oseltamivir Days 1, 6, 10 Symptoms were assessed on Days 1, 6, and 10. The Investigator rated seven symptoms of fever, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, aches/pains, headache, and fatigue on a scale of 0 (absent/no problem) to 3 (severe/major problem). The global score was calculated as a sum of all individual symptom scores. Global scores may range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating worse or more pronounced symptoms.
