- A participant having severe influenza virus infection symptoms requiring inpatient treatment
- Received systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy
- Primary immunodeficiency syndrome
- History of organ transplantation
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Immunization with a live/attenuated influenza vaccine in 2 weeks prior to randomization
- Previous malignancy within the last 5 years or has an active cancer at any site
- A participant who received any medications with anti-flu effect such as baloxavir, peramivir, oseltamivir, zanamivir, favipiravir, arbidol, amantadine or traditional Chinese anti-influenza medicines within 30 days before screening
- Diagnosed with or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, or close contacts of diagnosed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infected patients
- Severe underlying disease or condition potentially affecting study evaluation in the opinion of the investigator/sub-investigator
- A participant who received an investigational or unapproved drug product within 30 days or 5 x the half-life before screening, whichever is longer

Group Intervention Description Baloxavir Marboxil Baloxavir Marboxil Participants will receive a single oral dose of baloxavir marboxil on Day 1 based on body weight. Oseltamivir Oseltamivir Participants will receive oseltamivir twice a day for 5 days based on body weight.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Up to Day 29
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in the Amount of Virus RNA (Based on RT-PCR) Baseline (Day 1), Day 2, 4, 6, 10, 15 and 29 Percentage of Participants With Positive Influenza Virus Titer Day 2, 4, 6, 10, 15 and 29 Percentage of Participants With Positive for Influenza Virus as Assessed by RT-PCR Day 2, 4, 6, 10, 15 and 29 Area Under the Curve in Amount of Virus RNA (Based on RT-PCR) Day 1 to Day 29 Area Under the Curve (AUC) in Virus Titer Day 1 to Day 29 Plasma Concentrations of S-033447 Up to 72 hours post dose S-033447 is an active metabolite of baloxavir marboxil.
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf) of S-033447 Up to Day 10 S-033447 is an active metabolite of baloxavir marboxil.
Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of S-033447 Up to Day 10 S-033447 is an active metabolite of baloxavir marboxil.
Elimination Half-life (t1/2) of S-033447 Up to Day 10 S-033447 is an active metabolite of baloxavir marboxil.
Time of Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of S-033447 Up to Day 10 S-033447 is an active metabolite of baloxavir marboxil.
Effective Concentration (EC50) of Baloxavir Marboxil Evaluated by ViroSpot™ Assay Up to Day 29 Percentage of Participants with Responses to Palatability and Acceptability Questionnaire Day 1 A two-question palatability and acceptability questionnaire will be used. The palatability question ask the participant about taste of the medicine with responses from 'Like very much' to 'Dislike Very Much'. The acceptability question asks participants if they would be happy to take the medicine again, with responses as 'Yes', 'No' and 'Not Sure'.
Time to Alleviation of Influenza Signs and Symptoms Up to Day 15 Time to Alleviation of Influenza Signs \& Symptoms is defined as length of time taken from the start of treatment to the point at which all of the following criteria are met \& remain so, for at least 21.5 hours: Score of 0 (no problem) or 1 (minor problem) for cough \& nasal symptoms (Items 14 \&15 of the Canadian Acute Respiratory Illness \& Flu Scale \[CARIFS\]); "Yes" response to the following question on CARIFS: "Since the last assessment has the subject been able to return to day care/school (if applicable), or resume his or her normal daily activity in the same way as performed prior to developing the flu?" (if possible) \& return to afebrile state (tympanic temperature ≤ 37.2°C.
Duration of Fever Up to Day 15 Length of time taken by participants to return to afebrile state (tympanic temperature ≤ 37.2°C) and remaining so, for at least 21.5 hours.
Duration of Symptoms Up to Day 15 Duration of symptoms is alleviation of all symptoms as defined by a score of 0 \[no problem\] or 1 \[minor problem\] and remaining so, for at least 21.5 hours, for all 18 symptoms specified in the CARIFS questionnaire.
Time to Return to Normal Health and Activity Based on the CARIFS Questionnaire Up to Day 15 CARIFS parental questionnaire is composed of 18 questions, each with a 4-point ordinal scale (no problem=0 to major problem=3) to measure the duration of illness. Total score ranges from 0 (best possible health) to 54 (worst possible health).
Frequency of Influenza-Related Complications Up to Day 29 Influenza related complications include death, hospitalization, radiologically confirmed pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, otitis media, encephalitis/encephalopathy, febrile seizures, myositis.
Percentage of Participants Requiring Antibiotics for Influenza Related Complications Up to Day 29 Time to Cessation of Viral Shedding as Assessed by Virus Titer Day 1 to Day 29 Time to Cessation of Viral Shedding as Assessed by Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Day 1 to Day 29 Change From Baseline in Influenza Virus Titer Baseline (Day 1), Day 2, 4, 6, 10, 15 and 29 Polymorphic and Treatment-emergent Amino Acid Substitutions in the PA Gene Baseline (Day 1) up to Day 29 Sanger sequencing of the influenza PA gene will be performed to evaluate the incidence of polymorphic (baseline vs. reference) and treatment-emergent (post-baseline vs. baseline) amino acid substitutions.
