Baloxavirmarboxil is a virostatically active drug that is effective against both type A and type B flu virus . The effect is based on the mechanism of inhibition of an early step in the replication cycle of the virus, which was used therapeutically for the first time, by inhibiting the CAP -dependent endonuclease PA .
Baloxavirmarboxil was approved for the treatment of seasonal influenza in February 2018 in Japan and in October 2018 in the United States under the trade name Xofluza . The product was developed by the Japanese company Shionogi Seiyaku , from 2016 in cooperation with Roche . In the multicentre three- arm clinical study CAPSTONE-1 with more than 1400 influenza patients aged 12 to 64 years, the therapeutic effectiveness of a single dose of baloxavirmarboxil was compared with a five-day oseltamivir treatment and placebo .
