study of gp681 tablets compared with placebo in patients with influenza at high risk of influenza complications

Conditions: Influenza, Human

Summary: this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and population pharmacokinetics of a single, oral dose of gp681 compared with placebo in patients aged 12 and older with influenza at high risk of influenza complications.


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. male or female patients aged ≥12 years at the time of signing the informed consent form. 2. patients with a diagnosis of influenza confirmed by all of the following: * positive throat or nose swab by rapid influenza antigen test (rat) (where rapid influenza virus nucleic acid test or other rapid molecular diagnostic methods are also acceptable); * fever (axillary temperature ≥37.3℃) in the predose examinations or \> 4 hours after dosing of antipyretics if they were taken; * at least one of the following systemic symptoms and respiratory symptoms respectively associated with influenza are present with a severity of moderate or greater: systemic symptoms: headache, fever or chills, muscle or joint aches, fatigue; respiratory system symptoms: cough, sore throat, nasal congestion. 3. the time interval between the onset of symptoms and random enrollment is 48 hours or less. the onset of symptoms is defined as either: 1. time of the first increase in body temperature (axillary temperature ≥37.3℃) 2. time when the patient experiences at least 1 new general or respiratory symptom related to influenza 4. referring to the standards of the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) in the united states and the definition of high-risk populations for influenza complications in the "expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of influenza in adults in the emergency department (2022 edition)", that is, if at least one of the following criteria is met, the patient will be considered at high risk of influenza complications: 1. asthma or chronic lung diseases \[such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, chronic interstitial pneumonia, etc.\];

8. blood system diseases (such as sickle cell disease); 9. metabolic system diseases (such as hereditary metabolic diseases and mitochondrial diseases); 10. liver diseases (such as chronic hepatitis b, chronic hepatitis c, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis); 11. kidney diseases (estimated glomerular filtration rate egfr ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73m2 by the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (ckd-epi) formula); 12. obese patients (bmi ≥ 30 kg/m2); 13. female patients within 2 weeks postpartum and not breastfeeding. 5. subjects of child-bearing potential who agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for 1 month after drug withdrawal. 6. subjects and/or their guardian who are willing to provide written informed consent and consent to participate in the study, able to understand the study and comply with all study procedures, including patient health diary records. exclusion criteria: 1. history of allergic reactions attributed to gp681,acetaminophen, bromohexine hydrochloride or any of the ingredients of its formulation. 2. known history of dysphagia or any gastrointestinal disease that affects drug absorption (including but not limited to chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, tuberculosis of the intestines, gastrinoma, short bowel syndrome, postoperative gastrectomy, etc.); 3. screening patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, require hospitalization due to severe influenza virus infection;. 4. screening patients who, at the time of screening, are clinically diagnosed with bacterial or other viral infections requiring systemic antibacterial or antiviral treatment; 5. cancer patients who are currently receiving or have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy within the past year (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and thyroid cancer) 6. known hiv-infected patients; 7. organ or bone marrow transplant recipients; 8. patients who are currently receiving \>20mg/d of prednisone or equivalent chronic systemic corticosteroid therapy; 9. patients who have used anti-influenza virus drugs (including neuraminidase inhibitors, hemagglutinin inhibitors, and m2 ion channel blockers, such as oseltamivir, zanamivir, palivizumab, favipiravir, abidol, marabolexavir, amantadine or rimantadine or other anti-influenza virus drugs approved by nmpa) within the past 2 weeks or who have received influenza vaccination within the past 6 months; 10. exclusion of participants who have received clinical research or screening within the past 30 days for any indication with a trial drug or device, or who have received clinical research for a monoclonal antibody drug for viral diseases within the past year; 11. known to have had a previous history of severe liver function impairment such as cirrhosis with ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding; 12. estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) by chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (ckd-epi) formula \<30ml/min/1.73m2 at the time of screening; 13. individuals with a history of alcohol abuse or substance abuse (more than 14 units of alcohol per week, 1 unit of alcohol = 360 ml of beer or 45 ml of spirits with an alcohol content of 40% or 150 ml of wine with an alcohol content of 12%); 14. adult reproductive-age females who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have a positive pregnancy test. women who are infertile (i.e., women who have had a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation for medical reasons or who are postmenopausal - defined as age \> 50 years and menopause has occurred for at least 2 years) do not need a pregnancy test;
