Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multicenter, randomised, four arms placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 10 mg inhaled zanamivir once a day and 75 mg oseltamivir capsule orally once a day relative to placebo over 16 weeks (112 days). Enrolled subjects will be randomly assigned to 2:1:2:1 ratio (active oseltamivir: placebo: active zanamivir: placebo) on one of the four study treatment groups.

It is hypothesized that oseltamivir and zanamivir will protect participants from becoming infected with influenza.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We plan to recruit 130 non-pregnant subjects including Health Care Workers, which refer to anyone who works in the hospital, into each active arm and 65 healthy, non-pregnant subjects including Health Care Workers into each placebo arm for a total of 390 study subjects from 4 study sites in Bangkok and Nonthaburi province, Thailand: (i) Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, (ii) Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute, (iii) Chest Disease Institute, and (iv) Hospital for Tropical Diseases.

Randomisation Groups:

Zanamivir for inhalation, (5 mg per inhalation), two inhalations, once daily using a ROTADISK/DISKHALER for 112 days. The dose should be administered at approximately the same time each day.

Placebo (lactose powder), two inhalations, once daily using a ROTADISK/ DISKHALER for 112 days. The dose should be administered at approximately the same time each day.

Oseltamivir capsules (75 mg per capsule), one capsule daily by mouth (PO) for 112 days. The dose should be administered at approximately the same time each day.

Placebo capsules, one capsule daily for 112 days. The capsule should be administered at approximately the same time each day.

Study duration

The study is expected to last up to about 12 months. The study will consist of:

* a screening visit
* 10 study visits: Days 0 , 7 (+2), 14 (+2), 28 (+2), 42 (+2), 56 (+2), 70 (+2), 84 (+2), 98 (+2) and 112 (+2) and
* One follow-up visit on Day 120 (+2)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:

1. Healthy male or female aged 20 - 65 years. Healthy determined by the Investigator based on medical history and screening examinations.
2. Read and understand study related materials intended for subject.
3. Signed informed consent prior to study participation.
4. Willingness and ability to comply with the study protocol for the duration of the trial.
5. Female subject who is of reproductive potential agrees to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g., intrauterine device, abstinence or hormonal contraceptive drug) throughout the study (D120+2).
6. For male subject, he must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control (e.g. abstinence or condom) throughout the study (D120+2).
