Baloxavir in Combination With Oseltamivir in Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients With Influenza

Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of the efficacy and safety of baloxavir in combination with oseltamivir (standard of care) for the treatment of influenza in allogeneic stem cell transplant patients. Although there are no data about this treatment option currently available, the investigator hypothesizes that combination therapy may be more effective in clearing influenza virus infection and decreasing the rate of emergence of resistant influenza in immunocompromised human hosts.
