Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Participants hospitalized (or in Emergency room prior to hospitalization) at the time
of randomization and unlikely to be discharged for the first 24 hours after
randomization

- Participants diagnosed with human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infection using a rapid
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular diagnostic assay, with or without
coinfection with another respiratory pathogen (respiratory virus or bacteria)

- Participants with an acute respiratory illness with signs and symptoms consistent with
a viral infection (for example, fever, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore
throat, myalgia, lethargy, shortness of breath, or wheezing) with onset less than or
equal to (<=)5 days from the anticipated time of randomization

- With the exception of the symptoms related to hMPV infection, participants must be
medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs,
and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed at screening. If there are
abnormalities, they must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study
population, and/or the hMPV infection. This determination must be recorded in the
participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator

- A woman must have a negative urine pregnancy test (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin
[b-hCG]) at screening
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Participants who are not expected to survive for more than 48 hours

- Participants who have had major thoracic or abdominal surgery in the 6 weeks prior to
randomization

- Participants who are considered by the investigator to be immunocompromised within the
past 12 months, whether due to underlying medical condition (for example, malignancy
or genetic disorder) or medical therapy (for example, medications other than
corticosteroids for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or
asthma exacerbations, chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell or solid organ transplant)

- Participants undergoing peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, or hemofiltration or with
an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR, determined by Chronic Kidney Disease
Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI] equation) of (<) 60 milliliters per minute
(mL/min) per 1.73 meter square (m^2)

- Participants with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic
viral hepatitis

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine in hospitalized adult participants infected with
human metapneumovirus (hMPV - a virus closely related to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
and has been identified as an important cause of acute respiratory infections, affecting all
age groups) the dose-response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral
activity based on nasal hMPV shedding using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase
chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay.
