Baloxavir and Oseltamivir for the Treatment of Severe Influenza Infection in Immunocompromised Patients (NCT04712539)
Efficacy of Combination Baloxovir and Oseltamivir Therapy in Influenza Infected Immunocompromised Hosts
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial studies the effect of baloxavir in combination with oseltamivir in treating severe influenza infection in patients who have previously received a hematopoietic (blood) stem cell transplant or have a hematological malignancy. Baloxavir is an antiviral drug that inhibits the growth of influenza virus, reduces viral load and prevents further influenza infection. Osetamivir is an antiviral drug that blocks enzymes on the surfaces of influenza viruses, interfering with cell release of complete viral particles. Giving baloxavir in combination with oseltamivir may shorten or decrease the intensity of influenza infection compared to oseltamivir alone.
