Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Multinational Phase III Study of CS-8958 (MARVEL) (NCT NCT00803595)

NCT ID: NCT00803595

Last Updated: 2019-01-09

Results Overview

The time to illness alleviation which was defined as the time from the initiation of trial treatment to the beginning of the first 21.5-h period in which all influenza symptoms were "absent" or "mild." Patients recorded their severity of influenza symptoms (headache, myalgia/arthralgia, fatigue, chills/sweats, nasal symptom, sore throat, and cough) 4 times daily for 15 days. Patients whose influenza symptoms had not been alleviated at the time of their withdrawal from the study or at the end of the observation period were censored.

Participant Flow

This multicenter, double-blind,randomized, active-controlled trial was conducted from November 2008 through March 2009 at 117 institutions in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and China (Hong Kong).

Full analysis set (FAS) was defined as the set of subjects who had a positive test result using the influenza rapid diagnostic kit, received at least 1 dose of the study drug, and had valid efficacy data. The data for the baseline characteristics is provided for this analysis set, not for all participants who entered the trial.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 15 days

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) was defined as the set of subjects who had a positive test result using the influenza rapid diagnostic kit, received at least 1 dose of the study drug, and had valid efficacy data.

The time to illness alleviation which was defined as the time from the initiation of trial treatment to the beginning of the first 21.5-h period in which all influenza symptoms were "absent" or "mild." Patients recorded their severity of influenza symptoms (headache, myalgia/arthralgia, fatigue, chills/sweats, nasal symptom, sore throat, and cough) 4 times daily for 15 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 15 days

Time for return to normal axillary temperature was was defined as the time until the beginning of the first 21.5-hour period in which the axillary temperature returned to 36.9°C. Patients recorded their axillary temperature 4 times daily for 15 days. Patients whose axillary temperature had not been returned to 36.9°C at the time of their withdrawal from the study or at the end of the observation period were censored.
