- Time to Clinical Response (TTCR) in Participants With Confirmed Influenza [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days ]Clinical response is defined as the resolution of at least 4 of the 5 vital signs (temperature, oxygen saturation, respiratory status, heart rate, systolic blood pressure) within the respective resolution criteria, maintained for at least 24 hours, or hospital discharge, whichever occurred first. This analysis was performed for Influenza positive population, for those with symptom onset less than or equal to (<=) 4 days, and for those on mechanical (mech) ventilation or in intensive care unit (ICU). 99 days is censored time for the participants who did not achieve TTCR.
- Percentage of Participants With Respiratory Improvement [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days ]Respiratory Status (RS) is a component of TTCR. Response criteria included the return to the pre-morbid oxygen requirement (participants with chronic oxygen use), a need for supplemental oxygen (administered by any modality: ventilator, non-invasive ventilation, facemask, facetent, nasal canula, etc.) to no need for supplemental oxygen, or a respiratory rate of =<24 breaths/minute (without supplemental oxygen). Data are presented as the percentage of participants achieving respiratory improvement.

- Change From Baseline in the Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Score and Each ADL Activity Score [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and up to 42 days ]The Katz ADL scores were collected for bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding activities and were assessed once daily during the treatment period/hospitalization and once at each post-treatment Clinic Visit. For the six individual activities, a score of 1 indicates independence, and a score of 0 indicates dependence. The total score is generated by adding the scores of all six activities. A total score of 6 indicates that the participant was independent; a total score of 0 indicates that the participant was very dependent. Baseline is defined as the pre-dose value collected on Study Day 1. Change from Baseline is defined as the difference at each time point (Day 5/6, and Day 10/11, and last day S/R if treatment was extended beyond 5 days) and the end of the study (post-treatment [PT] +28 Days) compared to Baseline.
- Median Time to Return to Pre-morbid Functional Status as Measured by the Katz ADL Score and Each ADL Activity Score [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days ]Pre-morbid functional status is defined as the best functional status in the 4 weeks prior to enrolment. Median time to return to pre-morbid functional status was assessed via the Katz ADL score (bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding activities). For the six individual activities, a score of 1 indicates independence, and a score of 0 indicates dependence. The total score is generated by adding the scores of all six activities. A total score of 6 indicates that the participant was independent; a total score of 0 indicates that the participant was very dependent.
- Number of Participants Who Returned to Their Pre-morbid Functional Status as Assessed Per the Katz ADL Score and Each ADL Activity Score at the End of the Study [ Time Frame: Up to 42 days ]Pre-morbid functional status is defined as the best functional status in the 4 weeks prior to enrolment.

- Median Time of Duration of Hospitalization and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay [ Time Frame: Day 1 to the end of the study (assessed up to 42 days) ]Hospital duration and ICU duration was assessed from the first day of dosing. Hospital duration was calculated as the discharge date minus the admission date + 1. Hospital duration while on study was the earlier of discharge, completion, or withdrawal minus the later of the admission date or the study start date + 1. ICU duration-Modified was calculated as the original ICU duration minus ICU days prior to Study Day 1.
- Median Time to the Absence of Fever and Improved Respiratory Status, Oxygen Saturation, Heart Rate, and Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and up to 42 days ]The absence of fever is defined as a non-axillary temperature recording <=36.6 degrees Celsius axillary, <= 37.2 degrees Celsius oral or <= 37.7 degrees Celsius core.

The number of participants with an ECG status of normal and abnormal CS or NCS, as determined by the Investigator, is reported. Normal=all ECG parameters within the accepted normal ranges. Abnormal=ECG findings outside of normal ranges. CS=ECG with a CS abnormality that meets exclusion criteria. NCS=ECG with an abnormality that is not CS nor meets exclusion criteria, per Investigator, based on reasonable standards of clinical judgment. In the original protocol ECGs were also done on Day 4, however, amendment 2 removed this requirement and therefore not all participants had Day 4 ECGs.
- Serum Concentration of IV Zanamivir [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 4 ]Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at four time points to characterize peak concentration (end of infusion; C[EOI]) after the first dose on Day 1 and on Day 4 to characterize the pre-dose concentration (C[0]), the peak concentration C(EOI), and the trough concentration at 11-12 hours post-dose (C[12]) of zanamavir. Data was summarized by Creatinine clearance (CL) Category. The dose on Day 1 is the initial dose (unadjusted) and the dose on Day 4 is the maintenance dose.
