Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Age =18 years of age, male or female

- Able to provide informed consent, or for whom consent may be provided by guardian

- Presence of fever at time of screening of =38.0°C (= 100.0°F) taken orally, or =38.5°C
(=101.2°F) taken rectally. This requirement is waived if the subject has (1) a history
of fever within 24 hours prior to screening and administered any antipyretic(s) in the
24 hours prior to screening, or (2) has no history of documented fever as defined
above, but reports a symptom of feverishness at some time during 48 hours prior to
screening

congestion/symptoms) of any severity (mild, moderate, severe)

- Presence of at least 1 constitutional symptom (headache, myalgia, feverishness,
malaise, fatigue) of any severity (mild, moderate, severe)

- Onset of illness no more than 72 hours before presentation. Time of onset of illness
defined as either (1) the time when temperature (oral or rectal) was elevated (at
least 1°C of elevation-oral temperature), OR (2) the time when the subject experienced
the presence of at least 1 respiratory symptom AND the presence of at least 1
constitutional symptom

- Presence of 1 or more of the following factors in a subject willing to be hospitalized
for inpatient observation and treatment:

- Age =60 years

- Presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other chronic lung disease
requiring daily pharmacotherapy

change in cardiac status, but without signs or symptoms compatible with NYHA Class IV
functional status

- Transcutaneous oxygen saturation <94% without supplemental oxygen for at least 5
minutes, or a medically significant decrease in oxygen saturation from an established
baseline value

- Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg

- Severity of illness that, in the Investigator's judgment, justifies hospitalization of
the subject for supportive care

- Positive rapid antigen test (RAT) for influenza A and/or influenza B (using an
approved test kit) or other test for influenza virus antigen performed in a clinical
laboratory at the screening/enrollment evaluation

- Be surgically sterile or clinically post-menopausal

- Have been sexually abstinent 4 weeks prior to date of screening evaluation and be
willing to remain abstinent through 4 weeks after study-drug administration for all
perimenopausal women or women of child-bearing potential

vaginal rings or transdermal patches and have been using these for 3 months prior
through 4 weeks after study-drug administration for all perimenopausal women or women
of child-bearing potential

- Use an intra-uterine device (IUD), or adequate barrier contraception (or
double-barrier method such as condom or diaphragm with spermicidal gel or foam) as
birth control 4 weeks prior to date of screening evaluation through 4 weeks after
study drug administration for all perimenopausal women or women of child-bearing
potential

- History of moderate or severe renal impairment and/or previous clinical laboratory
data indicating an estimated creatinine clearance <50 mL/min during the previous 12
months

presence of a medically significant dysrhythmia

- Presence of cardiac signs or symptoms compatible with NYHA Class III or Class IV
functional status for congestive heart failure or angina (see NYHA Appendix V)

admission may be enrolled, if exclusion criteria #13 or #14 are not applicable.

- History of organ transplantation during the previous 12 months

- Known HIV infection with most recent CD4+ T-cell count =350 cells/mL
