Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Baloxavir Marboxil
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: Baloxavir Marboxil - Participants will receive at least two doses of baloxavir marboxil on Days 1 and 4. A third dose of Baloxavir will be given on Day 7 for participants who have not improved according to protocol defined criteria on Day 5.
Study treatment will be given in combination with SOC NAI (i.e., oseltamivir, zanamivir, or peramivir) in accordance with local clinical practice.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - Participants will receive at least two doses of placebo on Day 1 and 4. A third dose of placebo will be given on Day 7 for participants who have not improved according to protocol defined criteria on Day 5.
Study treatment will be given in combination with SOC NAI (i.e., oseltamivir, zanamivir, or peramivir) in accordance with local clinical practice.


Treatment: Drugs: Baloxavir Marboxil
Baloxavir marboxil will be administered as a weight-based dose on Days 1 and 4. A third dose will be given on Day 7 for participants who have not improved according to protocol defined criteria on Day 5.

study treatment

- Exposure to an investigational drug within 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is
longer) of randomization

investigator's judgment, precludes the participant's safe participation in and
completion of the study

- Known hypersensitivity to baloxavir marboxil or the drug product excipients

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of baloxavir marboxil in
combination with a standard-of-care (SOC) neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI) (i.e., oseltamivir,
zanamivir, or peramivir) compared with a matching placebo in combination with a SOC NAI in
hospitalized patients with influenza.
