Preventing flu in hospital roommates with Tamiflu or Xofluza
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two flu medicines—Tamiflu and Xofluza—to see if they can prevent flu in people who are staying in a hospital room with a patient who has the flu. You may join if you are a hospitalized close contact (roommate or caregiver) and test negative for flu.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a hospitalized patient or caregiver who shares a room with a flu patient.
- You must be at least 12 years old (or if you are the patient with flu, at least 2 years old).

This trial tests if taking suraxavir marboxil or oseltamivir can stop the flu from spreading to people sharing a hospital room with a patient who has the flu.
This trial tests whether two flu medicines—baloxavir and oseltamivir—work better to treat influenza in people with weakened immune systems (like transplant or blood cancer patients). It may help reduce severe complications, especially when flu affects the lungs or is at high risk to do so.
This Phase 2 study compares antiviral medicines in adults who have early, flu-like symptoms and test positive for influenza. It aims to see which antiviral treatment works best and is safe for people treated soon after symptoms start.
This study tests how well a single-dose flu treatment (baloxavir marboxil) works for children with the flu and whether it stops the flu from spreading to family members. If your child has early flu symptoms and lives with others, participation could help protect your household.
This trial looks at an organized plan to give flu vaccines during hospital stays. It may help more inpatients get protected against influenza before they leave the hospital.
This study tests a new antiviral pill, GP681, to prevent the flu in people who live with someone who has the flu. If you haven't gotten sick yet and are otherwise healthy, this might help keep you from catching it.
