Placebo

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of AE and SAE of subjects during the study period

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    An Adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was 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/birth defect, or another important medical event.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in clinical improvement score of subjects at each visit after treatment by clinical improvement scale

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    Clinical improvement scale is mainly used to evaluate the overall severity level of the subject's disease with the highest score of 8 indicating death. A score of 6-7 represents severe hospitalization: a score of 6 requires mechanical ventilation, and a score of 7 requires not only mechanical ventilation but also angiogenic treatment, kidney dialysis, or artificial membrane lung. A score of 3-5 represents mild hospitalization: a score of 3 does not require oxygen therapy, a score of 4 requires a mask or nasal catheter, and a score of 5 requires noninvasive positive pressure ventilation or high-flow oxygen therapy. A score of 1-2 represents outpatient treatment: 1 is independent and 2 is in need of care (daily activities have an impact). A score of 0 means no treatment is required and there is no clinical or virological evidence of infection.

  2. Change from baseline in RiiQ symptoms of subjects at each visit after treatment measured by RiiQ questionnaire

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    RiiQ questionnaire is mainly used to assess RSV symptoms in patients, including upper respiratory tract infection symptoms (sore throat and nasal congestion), symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection (cough, wheezing, sputum, shortness of breath), and system symptoms (fever, headache, neck pain, fatigue, lack of appetite, interrupted sleep, body aches). The questionnaire is divided into four grading categories of severity including none (0), mild (1), moderate (2) and severe (3).

  3. Changes from baseline in the total score of RSV Symptom of subjects at each visit after treatment using RSV Symptom Score Composite Scale

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    RSV Symptom Score Composite Scale is used to assess patients with RSV symptoms, including runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, earache, cough, shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, myalgia and/or joint pain. The score is divided into 4 grades according to the severity of symptoms. 0 indicates no symptoms, 1 indicates occasional symptoms, 2 indicates that symptoms sometimes worsen significantly but do not affect daily activities, and 3 indicates that symptoms are always serious and cannot engage in daily activities. The total score is 30 points.

  4. Changes from baseline in the RSV VL (viral load) of subjects at each visit after treatment

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    The RSV VL of subjects' nasopharyngeal samples is measured as Log10 copies/mL by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

  5. Area under the curve (AUCE, last) of RSV Viral Load from baseline to the last measurement

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    The RSV VL is measured as Log10 copies/mL by qRT-PCR assay in the nasopharyngeal specimens.

  6. Number of subjects with RSV VL values below the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at each visit after treatment

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    The RSV VL is measured as Log10 copies/mL by qRT-PCR assay in the nasopharyngeal specimens.

  7. Number of participants who dropped out of the study due to AE

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

  8. Number of participants with laboratory examination abnormalities

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days

    Following parameters were analyzed for laboratory examination: hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit, platelet count, red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and absolute white blood cell line (neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils); Hepatobiliary biochemistry: total and direct bilirubin, total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP); Renal Function Tests: creatinine kinase, uric acid ; Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium; Glucose; Coagulation function (subjects with only a history of liver disease should be tested): international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, and fibrinogen; Urine analysis: urine protein, ketone bodies, urine red blood cells, urine white blood cells, and urine glucose; Blood or urine pregnancy test for all female subjects.

  9. Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days
