PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline through Day 3

Population: The intent-to-treat-infected (ITT-i) population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had a central lab-confirmed RSV infection. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Area under the RSV VL-time curve (AUC) was determined as log10 copies\*hour per milliliter (Log10 copies\*hr/mL) by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay of mid turbine nasal swabs.

The time to undetectable nasal RSV RNA viral load was defined as the time in days from initiation of study treatment until first post-baseline time point at which RSV RNA was undetectable and after which time there were no more detectable virus assessments.

Number of participants with worst treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities (serum chemistry, hematology and urinalyses) were reported based on DMID toxicity grading scale. DMID toxicity grade categorized as Grade 1=mild(mild discomfort (\< 48 hours); no medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 2= moderate (Moderate Mild to moderate limitation in activity - some assistance may be needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required), Grade 3= severe (severe Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalizations possible), and Grade 4=life threatening (extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance required; significant medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalization or hospice care probable).

Timeframe: Baseline, Days 3, 5, 8, 14 and 21

Population: The ITT-i population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had a central lab-confirmed RSV infection. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure. Here, 'n' (number analyzed) signifies number of participants who were analyzed at specified timepoints for specified categories.

The severity of signs and symptoms of RSV infection was assessed using the RI-PRO questionnaire. The RI-PRO questionnaire is 32-item questionnaire. It summarizes severity of 6 symptom domains: nose (4 items), throat (3 items), eyes (3 items), chest/respiratory (7 items), gastrointestinal (4 items), and body/systemic (11 items). Each RI-PRO domain score ranges from 0 (symptom free) to 4 (very severe symptoms). Domain scores were calculated as the arithmetic mean of the scores for items within the domain.

Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 21

Population: The ITT-i population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and who had a central lab-confirmed RSV infection. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Duration of signs and symptoms of RSV infection was assessed by the time to resolution of all RSV symptoms from RI-PRO questionnaire. Resolution was defined as a score of 'Not at all/symptom-free' (score=0) or 'A little bit' (score=1) for at least 24 hours. The RI-PRO questionnaire is a 32-item questionnaire. It summarizes severity of 6 symptom domains: nose (4 items), throat (3 items), eyes (3 items), chest/respiratory (7 items), gastrointestinal (4 items) and body/systemic (11 items). Each RI-PRO score ranges from 0 (symptom-free) to 4 (very severe symptoms).

Time to resolution of key RSV symptoms (congested or stuffy nose, sore or painful throat, trouble breathing, chest tightness, coughing, coughed up mucus or phlegm, weak or tired) as assessed by RI-PRO questionnaire was reported. Resolution of RSV symptoms was defined as a score of 'Not at all/symptom free' (score = 0) or 'A little bit' (score = 1) for at least 24 hours for symptoms of the RI-PRO questionnaire. The RI-PRO questionnaire is 32-item questionnaire.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1 and 7

Population: PK analysis set included all participants who received JNJ-53718678 and for whom at least one PK concentration was reported. Here, 'n' (number analyzed) signifies number of participants who were analyzed at specified timepoints. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration of JNJ-53718678 estimated by population PK model.
