Ziresovir (AK0529): Active Substance: AK0529 Pharmaceutical Form: Enteric Capsules Route of Administration: Oral
Placebo: Active Substance: Placebo Pharmaceutical Form: Enteric Capsules Route of Administration: Oral
Study summary
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is recognized worldwide as a significant pathogen causing lower respiratory tract infection in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients, which may cause bronchiolitis or pneumonia, and affect the cardiovascular system, central nervous system and the renal system, resulting in hospitalization and death risks in children and also high-risk adults, particularly the elderly. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Ziresovir (AK0529) compared to placebo with respect to the time to resolution of RSV lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) symptoms.

* Received any potentially anti-RSV agents (e.g., ribavirin, long-acting interferon) within 5 half-lives prior to the first study dose, or plans to use such agents during the study.
* Received prohibited medications, or plans to use prohibited medications during the study.
* Has a severe or unstable gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, hematologic disorder, or malignancy.
* Has a known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to AK0529 or to any excipients in the AK0529 or placebo formulation.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Time from first dose to resolution of LRTD symptoms — Up to Day 27 LRTD symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, expectoration) are assessed by the RiiQ symptom scale, which includes 13 symptoms: 2 upper respiratory (stuffy nose, sore throat), 4 lower respiratory (cough, expectoration, wheezing, shortness of breath), and 7 systemic (feeling feverish, headache, body aches/pains, neck pain, trouble sleeping, tiredness, poor appetite).
