A Multinational Phase III Study of CS-8958 (MARVEL)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Influenza, Human
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00803595
Lead Sponsor
Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of CS-8958 administered as a single inhaled low dose or single inhaled high dose by showing non-inferiority to oseltamivir phosphate using the time to alleviation of influenza illness. For safety evaluation, between-group comparisons will be made with regard to incidence of adverse events and other safety measures.

In a secondary objective, the optimum dosage of CS-8958 for this indication will be evaluated based on the efficacy and safety of single inhaled low or high dose.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Alleviation of Influenza Illness15 days

The time to illness alleviation which was defined as the time from the initiation of trial treatment to the beginning of the first 21.5-h period in which all influenza symptoms were "absent" or "mild." Patients recorded their severity of influenza symptoms (headache, myalgia/arthralgia, fatigue, chills/sweats, nasal symptom, sore throat, and cough) 4 times daily for 15 days. Patients whose influenza symptoms had not been alleviated at the time of their withdrawal from the study or at the end of the observation period were censored.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time for Body Temperature to Return to Normal15 days

Time for return to normal axillary temperature was was defined as the time until the beginning of the first 21.5-hour period in which the axillary temperature returned to 36.9°C. Patients recorded their axillary temperature 4 times daily for 15 days. Patients whose axillary temperature had not been returned to 36.9°C at the time of their withdrawal from the study or at the end of the observation period were censored.
