About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Positive Controlled, Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ZX-7101A for Oral Suspension in Pediatric Participants Aged 2 to 11 With Influenza

The goal of this phase III study is to learn if ZX-7101A for oral suspension works to treat uncomplicated influenza in Pediatric Participants aged 2 to 11 years.

The main question it aims to answer is: What medical problems do participants have when taking drug ZX-7101A for oral suspension or Oseltamivir phosphate for oral suspension? Researchers will compare drug ZX-7101A for oral suspension to active comparator: Oseltamivir phosphate for oral suspension to see if drug ZX-7101A for oral suspension works to treat uncomplicated influenza in Pediatric Participants aged 2 to 11 years.

Being tested
ZX-7101A for oral suspension, Oseltamivir phosphate for oral suspension

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ZX-7101A for oral suspensionExperimentalA randomized phase III study with safety as primary endpoint was conducted in children (2-11 years old) with uncomplicated influenza. Eligible subjects were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either ZX-7101A for oral suspension (specification:10mg per bag)or oseltamivir phosphate for oral suspension (specification:0.36 g). Preparation of suspension solution ZX-7101A: the specification of the dry suspension is 10 mg per bag. Add 10 ml of warm water for each bag, Mix well and take it all at once as soon as possible. Administer the dosage according to body weight.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    The Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Event will be evalated as the change of vital signs, electrocardiogram, physical examination, and Laboratory test compared with the baseline.

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

Secondary outcomes (8)

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

  3. Time to Alleviation of Symptoms

    Symptom recovery time: Defined as the period from the start of the study treatment until all 16 assessment items in the CARIFS were evaluated as being asymptomatic or mild, and remained so for at least 21.5 hours.

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

  4. Time to Return to Normal Health and Activity

    Time to Return to Normal Health and Activity

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

  5. The time influenza RNA turns negative

    Defined as the time from initiation of treatment until the first influenza viral RNA falls below the lower limit of quantification (measured by RT-PCR)

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

  6. The time Virus Titer turns negative

    Defined as the time from initiation of treatment until the first viral titer falls below the lower limit of quantification

    Measured: From day1 up to day15

  7. Change From Baseline in the Amount of Virus RNA (RT-PCR) and Influenza Virus Titer at each visit

    Change From Baseline in the Amount of Virus RNA (RT-PCR, unit: log10virus particles/mL) and Influenza Virus Titer (unit: log10TCID50/ML) at each visit

    Measured: Baseline, Day 2,3,5,9,15

  8. Percentage of Participants With Positive Influenza Virus Titer at each visit (measured by RT-PCR)

    Percentage of Participants With Positive Influenza Virus Titer at each visit (measured by RT-PCR)(unit: %)

    Measured: Baseline, Day 2,3,5,9,15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ZX-7101A for oral suspension and Oseltamivir phosphate for oral suspension in people with Respiratory Viral Infection, run by Nanjing Zenshine Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: From day1 up to day15). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2026.
