Study Description

Part 1:

A pilot study of pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy was conducted in children (5-11 years old, weight ≥20kg) with uncomplicated influenza. A total of 12 subjects were planned to be enrolled. (Pharmacokinetic and safety data from at least 8 children are required.) On the first day, ZX-7101A 20 mg tablets, 2 tablets (specification: 10 mg/ tablet) were taken orally. PK samples were collected before and after the first (D1) dose: 1 to 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 24 h (D2), 96 h (D5), 192 h (D9) and 336 h (D15) after administration.

Part 2:

A randomized phase III study with safety as primary endpoint was conducted in children (5-11 years old, body weight ≥20kg) with uncomplicated influenza. Eligible subjects were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either ZX-7101A or oseltamivir phosphate.

Enrolled subjects were required to have typical systemic and/or respiratory influenza symptoms, with first influenza symptoms occurring within 48 hours of randomization. The study was divided into a screening/treatment period (D1) and an observation period (approximately 2 weeks).
