- Number of Participants With Any Solicited Influenza Symptoms From Day 1 Through Day 10 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (post-dose) through Day 10 ]Solicited influenza symptoms included cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, aches and pains, fatigue (tiredness), headache, chills/sweats (feeling feverish).
- Number of Participants With Any Solicited Influenza Symptoms From Day 10 Through Day 13 [ Time Frame: Day 10 through Day 13 ]Solicited influenza symptoms included cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, aches and pains, fatigue (tiredness), headache, chills/sweats (feeling feverish).
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 (post-dose) through Day 28 ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Treatment-emergent events were between administration of study drug and Day 28 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 (post-dose) through Day 101 ]A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent events were between administration of study drug and Day 101 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (TEAESIs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 (post-dose) through Day 101 ]An AE is any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An AESI was one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of the study drug and may have required close monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor. Treatment-emergent events were between administration of study drug and Day 101 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre treatment state.
- Percentage of Participants With Influenza Viral Shedding as Measured by Quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Days 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 ]Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to measure influenza viral shedding from the nasopharyngeal swabs. Percentage of participants who shed influenza virus are reported.
- Quantitation of Influenza Viral Shedding as Measured by qRT-PCR [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Days 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 ]qRT-PCR was used to measure influenza viral shedding from the nasopharyngeal swabs.
- Number of Days of Influenza Viral Shedding as Measured by qRT-PCR [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 7; and Day 9 to Day 13 ]Number of days of viral shedding for participants who shed influenza virus is reported. qRT-PCR was used to measure influenza viral shedding from the nasopharyngeal swabs.
- Percentage of Participants With Amino Acid Changes in MEDI8852 Binding Site [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 13 ]Genotypic analysis was performed to identify all amino acid changes in MEDI8852 binding site between each baseline (Day1) sample and the participant's corresponding last sample sequenced. Percentage of participants with changes in the amino acid corresponding to MEDI8852 binding site is reported. Due to the fact that the percentage of participants with amino acid changes in MEDI8852 binding site was zero across all participant samples analyzed, no additional per arm analyses were performed.
- Number of Participants With Viral Susceptibility to MEDI8852 as Determined by a Cell Based Microneutralization Assay [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 13 ]Viral susceptibility to MEDI8852 was measured by a Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell-based microneutralization assay (Virospot) for viruses recovered from baseline samples and viruses recovered from samples following treatment that contain amino acid changes within the MEDI8852 binding site. Participants with detectable levels (50% tissue culture infectious dose [TCID50]) of virus were considered susceptible and were reported. Due to the fact that the number of participants with viral susceptibility to MEDI8852 binding site was zero across all participant samples analyzed, no additional per arm analyses were performed.
- Percentage of Participants With Virus Containing Known Oseltamivir Resistance-Associated Mutations [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Day 13 ]Genotypic analysis was performed to identify all amino acid changes in neuraminidase (NA) gene between each baseline (Day1) sample and the participant's corresponding last sample sequenced. Percentage of participants with virus containing known oseltamivir resistance-associated mutations (change in the NA genes) is reported. Due to the fact that the percentage of participants with virus containing known oseltamivir resistance-associated mutation was zero across all participant samples analyzed, no additional per arm analyses were performed.
