New flu pill TRX-100 put to the test in human challenge trial

NCT ID NCT07503405

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a single oral dose of TRX-100 can prevent influenza infection in healthy adults aged 18 to 55. Participants will be deliberately exposed to the flu virus in a controlled setting. The trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug. The main goal is to see if TRX-100 reduces the number of lab-confirmed flu infections and moderate-to-severe symptoms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

tivoxavir marboxil (TRX-100)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new oral medication to prevent influenza infection after exposure.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2a proof-of-concept study with only 165 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug is tested in a controlled challenge model, not real-world conditions, and may fail to show benefit.
