Overview
This study consists of two parts: Part A Surveillance and Part B Transmission.
The main purpose of Part A is to evaluate the prevalence of pre-dose and treatment-emergent amino acid substitutions in pediatric participants' \<12 years with influenza treated with baloxavir marboxil.
Part B will include a subset of Part A participants who have household contacts (HHCs) recruited to the study. Part B will evaluate the incidence of onward influenza transmission from pediatric index participants (IPs) under 5 years of age and those aged 5 to under 12 years, treated with baloxavir marboxil, to their HHCs. Participants will no longer be enrolled to Part B Transmission as per protocol version 3.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria (Part A):
- Participants with symptoms suggestive of influenza based on investigator's judgement with diagnosis confirmed by a positive local influenza test within 24 hours before full study screening
- Participants with a negative severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) test within 48 hours before full study screening
- Time interval between onset of influenza symptoms and the start of pre-dose examinations at screening is 48 hours or less
Inclusion Criteria (Part B):
\[A\] IP:
- Eligible to take part in Part A
- Lives in a household with a HHC willing to be recruited as full HHC
\[B\] HHCs:
\- Each HHC living in the home of an IP at the time of IP treatment must be screened for partial or full-study HHC eligibility
\[C\] Partial HHC:
- Starts screening within 1 calendar day after IP treatment
- Negative influenza and SARS-CoV-2 test at screening after IP's treatment with baloxavir marboxil
- HHC lives in a household where 1 or more HHCs meet the full-study HHC requirements AND at least 1 full-study HHC has not received the influenza vaccine within 6 months prior to screening
- HHC lives in a household where 1 or more HHCs meet the full-study HHC requirements, and at least 1 full-study HHC has not received the influenza vaccine within 6 months prior to screening.
- HHC lives with other HHCs (if applicable) who fulfill all the "partial HHC" criteria
\[D\] Full-study HHC:
- Fulfills the "partial HHC" criteria
- Agrees to participate in the full study
- Will reside in the IP's house for at least 12 of the next 15 days and will be present for scheduled study visits
- No influenza symptoms within 7 days prior to screening
- Does not have a moderate or worse active infections or infections requiring systemic or otherwise internally administered or otherwise internally administered antibiotic/antiviral/antifungal therapy
Exclusion Criteria (Part A):
- Participants with severe influenza virus infection requiring inpatient treatment
- Severely immunocompromised participants (including participants receiving immunosuppressant therapy, or those with cancer or human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] infection) as defined by the investigator
- Participants with concurrent (non-influenza) infections requiring systemic anti-microbial and/or anti-viral therapy at the pre-dose examinations
- Treatment with baloxavir marboxil, peramivir, laninamivir, oseltamivir, zanamivir, rimantadine, umifenovir or amantadine within 30 days prior to screening
- Treatment with an investigational influenza-specific monoclonal antibody within 6 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening
- Treatment with an investigational therapy within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening
- Known hypersensitivity to baloxavir marboxil or the drug product excipients
- Females who have commenced menarche (i.e., child-bearing potential)
Exclusion Criteria (Part B):
- IPs who fulfil an exclusion criterion for Part A
- HHCs deemed to require influenza post-exposure prophylaxis with influenza antiviral treatment due to their risk of developing influenza-related complications in accordance with local guidelines or clinical practice
- HHCs diagnosed with influenza by health care professional in the past 4 weeks
