NCT ID NCT06094010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well the flu drug baloxavir marboxil works in children under 12 and whether it stops the flu from spreading to family members. About 1,100 kids with flu symptoms will take the drug, and researchers will check for drug resistance and track infections in household contacts. The goal is to understand the drug's effectiveness and safety in real-world settings.
