Zanamivir in the Management
of Influenza A and B
Introduction to Relenza
Relenza has unsurpassed efficacy in the treatment and
prophylaxis of influenza infection1-6
Relenza reduces potentially life threatening complications of
influenza3
Relenza has an established safety profile7
Viral resistance to Relenza is extremely rare
Stockpiles of antivirals should contain significant amounts of
Relenza
– The UK Royal Society of Medicine recommend Relenza
should represent 50% of the stockpile8

Relenza Indications
(In Most European Countries)
Relenza is indicated for the treatment of influenza A and B
virus in adults and children ≥ 5 years of age
Relenza is indicated for post-exposure prophylaxis of
influenza A and B in adults and children ≥ 5 years of age
following contact with a clinically diagnosed case in a
household
In exceptional circumstances, Relenza may be considered
for seasonal prophylaxis during a community outbreak
(e.g., mismatch between vaccine and circulating strain,
and a pandemic)
Relenza SPC. GlaxoSmithKline; 2006.
Relenza Delivered Direct to the
Respiratory Tract and Acts Rapidly

Relenza begins to work within 10 seconds2
1. Cass et al. 1999; Peng et al. 2000; 2. Moscona A. NEJM 2005; 353: 1363-1373.
Relenza Acts Rapidly to Suppress Viral
Replication and Shedding
Drug levels that are more than 1,000-fold above the concentration
needed to inhibit the virus (IC50) are achieved immediately following
inhalation of a 10 mg dose
High local concentrations maximises NA inhibition and rate of onset of
inhibition
– Could limit emergence of resistance
Maximises suppression of virus replication – significantly reduces virus
excretion in the throat and nasopharynx1
– Could limit spread of virus from respiratory tract
Zanamivir associated with significantly more rapid reduction in viral
shedding vs placebo within 24 hours of initiating treatment

Relenza Has Unsurpassed Efficacy in the
Treatment of Influenza
Shortens the duration of influenza symptoms1
Effective in treatment of influenza A and B
Effective in adults and children (≥ 5 years)
Significantly reduces (28% less) use of antibiotics for
influenza complications such as sinusitis and
bronchitis2

Relenza Has Activity Against H5N1
and Oseltamivir-Resistant H5N1
Intranasal zanamivir protects mice against lethal challenge
with influenza A/HK/156/97 (H5N1)1
– Reduced viral replication in lungs
– Reduced mortality and morbidity
– Prevented viral spread to the brain2
Clinical isolate of oseltamivir-resistant H5N1 (H274Y) from
treated child in Vietnam
– Susceptible to treatment with Relenza
in the ferret3
A further oseltamivir-resistant strain (294S) has been
isolated from two patients who died from H5N1 in Egypt in
December 2006
– The oseltamivir-resistant strain in Egypt was shown
susceptible to Relenza4

Relenza Treatment Reduces Viral Shedding
Study in military personnel receiving standard Relenza
treatment course
– 8.48 log10 mean reduction in viral shedding in throat
swabs (copies/ml x h) area under the curve over the
first 48 hours, compared with placebo (p=0.003)
– 56% patients (vs 29% for placebo) have unquantifiable
virus in throat swabs at 48h (p≤0.001)
– Similar reduction in virus in nasopharynx
This may impact transmissability of infection
Puhakka et al. Scand J Infect Dis 2003; 35:52-58.
Study Comparing Efficacy of Relenza and
Oseltamivir
Study Suggests Zanamivir Has Superior Efficacy
Compared with Oseltamivir Against Influenza B
For influenza A, marginally significant differences
between duration of fever after first dose of zanamivir
(31.8 ± 8.4 h) and oseltamivir (35.5 ± 23.9 h) (p < 0.05)
For influenza B, duration of fever with zanamivir (35.8 ±
22.4 h) significantly shorter vs oseltamivir (52.7 ± 31.3 h)
(p < 0.001).
Therapy (zanamivir or oseltamivir) was the major
determinant affecting duration of fever for influenza B
Kawai et al. J Infect 2007 Oct 12; [Epub ahead of print].
Relenza Has Established Safety Profile
Adverse events profile similar to placebo in clinical trials:
treatment and prophylaxis in adults/adolescents/paediatric,
including elderly and high risk
CNS, gastrointestinal and other systemic effects are
comparable to placebo
Minimal potential to cross blood-brain barrier
May be taken with or without food
Long-term prophylaxis (4 months) safety study planned
Relenza SPC. GlaxoSmithKline; 2006.
Relenza Has a Simple Standard Dose and Minimal
Potential to Cause Drug Interactions
Renally excreted as unchanged drug
No need to adjust dosing in children, elderly or
those with chronic disease (incl. renal)
Does not affect cytochrome P450 isoenzymes
No clinically significant drug interactions
expected, based on data from in vitro studies
Does not interfere with inactivated influenza
vaccination

Safety Considerations
Safety and efficacy not demonstrated in high-risk patients with severe/unstable
underlying medical conditions including severe asthma and other chronic respiratory
disease
There have been very rare reports of bronchospasm and/or decline in respiratory
function in patients taking Relenza
– Refer to warnings/precautions in SPC
Due to the limited experience, patients with severe asthma require a careful
consideration of the risk in relation to the expected benefit, and Relenza should not be
administered unless close medical monitoring and appropriate clinical facilities are
available in case of bronchoconstriction.
In patients with persistent asthma or severe COPD, management of the underlying
disease should be optimised during therapy with Relenza
There is no evidence of causal association with neuropsychiatric side effects in any age
groups with Relenza
Used in more than 14,000 patients in clinical trials
Relenza SPC. GlaxoSmithKline; 2006.
Relenza Treatment Dosing
Administered to respiratory tract by oral inhalation using
DISKHALER
Treatment should begin as soon as possible, within 48
hours of symptom onset for adults, and within 36 hours for
children
Recommended dose for treatment of influenza in adults
and children  5 years of age is two inhalations (2 x 5 mg)
twice daily for 5 days
Relenza SPC. GlaxoSmithKline; 2006.
Relenza Prophylaxis Dosing
Post-exposure prophylaxis
– Recommended dose for prevention of influenza, following
close contact with an individual is two inhalations (2 x 5
mg) once daily for 10 days
– Therapy should begin as soon as possible and within 36
hours of exposure to an individual
Seasonal prophylaxis
– Recommended dose for prevention of influenza during a
community outbreak is two inhalations (2 x 5 mg) once
daily for up to 28 days
Plans in place for long-term (4-month) prophylaxis study

Oseltamivir does not fit well into the sialic acid binding site of the viral

This may explain the observed differences in development of resistance
Resistance to Oseltamivir Observed More
Commonly than with Zanamivir
Resistance to oseltamivir seen in 1% adults, 4-18% paediatrics
– Different resistance mutations observed for different influenza
subtypes1,2,3
There are no reports of resistance during zanamivir treatment in
immunocompetent patients
– One resistant influenza B isolate was identified in an
immunocompromised child4 treated with zanamivir for 15 days
Resistance to either neuraminidase inhibitor is difficult to generate in
vitro – requires several passages.
Oseltamivir-resistant mutants may remain sensitive to zanamivir

Risk of Resistance to Relenza is Low
In vitro studies have shown that mutations in both
haemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes are selected
during resistance development over prolonged passage1-5
Mutations in two genes may be required to produce
resistance to Relenza6
– The risk of this occurring within 5 days of treatment is
low
Just one mutation (NA) appears to be required to produce
a very high level resistance to oseltamivir7,8

The Favourable Resistance Profile of Zanamivir is
Important in Choice of Antivirals for Stockpiling
“...although both (Relenza [zanamivir] and Tamiflu [oseltamivir]) have similar
efficacy, zanamivir has … a favourable resistance profile. The resistance
factor would be an important consideration in a pandemic situation”
Tsang et al. Lancet 2005; 366; 533-534.
“If this frequent emergence of resistant mutants is found to be a general
occurrence in children, it is a serious concern, especially since children are an
important source of the spread of infection in the community.”
Moscona A. NEJM 2005; 353: 1363-1373.
“Resistant strains have been generated in vitro and such strains have also been
found in a small proportion of patients during or after treatment with
oseltamivir. Oseltamivir-resistant strains have also been detected in
individuals not exposed to oseltamivir”
“The development of viral resistance is possible and might have a substantial
impact on the clinical usefulness of oseltamivir”

"These 33 million antiviral treatments will far exceed
requirements for covering 25% of the population,
the figure recommended by WHO "
"This will enable resistance risks to be prevented
and a more flexible and adaptable approach to be
taken to the strategies implemented in
accordance with the characteristics of the virus
and the pandemic"

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS)
Recommends 20% of Stockpile Should be Relenza
HHS has focused its recent antiviral stockpiling
efforts on purchasing Tamiflu and Relenza even
though recent reports have surfaced that some
strains of the H5N1 virus are becoming resistant
to Tamiflu
In response, HHS has changed its stockpiling
strategy to decrease the target share of Tamiflu
held in reserve from 90% to 80% and increase
the share of Relenza from 10% to 20%
The Congress of the United States Congressional Budget Office. A Potential Influenza Pandemic: An Update on Possible
Macroeconomic Effects and Policy Issues. May 22, 2006; revised July 27, 2006.
Antiviral Stockpiles for 50% of the
Population is Recommended
WHO recommends that national governments stockpile antiviral drugs
in advance of an influenza pandemic1
Stockpiles equivalent to 50% of the population, allowing post-exposure
prophylaxis in households could reduce clinical attack rates by 4050%2
The emergency stockpile of flu drugs will be doubled in Britain so that half
of the population is covered in the event of a pandemic”

WHO Recommendations (2007)
Antiviral treatment in patients with confirmed or strongly
suspected H5N1 infection
– Applies to adults (including pregnant women) and children
– Regimen for H5N1 is as recommended for seasonal influenza
Antiviral chemoprophylaxis in management of
avian (H5N1) influenza
– In high risk exposure groups oseltamivir or zanamivir
should be administered (strong recommendation)
– In moderate risk exposure groups oseltamivir /
zanamivir might be administered (weak
recommendation)
– Continuing for 7-10 days after the last known
exposure

WHO Recommends National Stockpiles of
Antivirals for Treatment and Prophylaxis
Purpose: Response to outbreaks within the country or the
treatment and prophylaxis of citizens during a pandemic
Timing: Pandemic phase III and later
Application: Stockpile under the control of a specific
nation and positioned within its borders.
Treatment of individuals with confirmed
or suspected avian or pandemic influenza
virus infection and high risk exposure
groups
Antiviral Stockpiles for 50% of the
Population is Recommended
Overall clinical attack rates during pandemics have
reached 30-35%1
Coverage required depends upon the virulence of the virus
once a pandemic starts
Stocks required for treatment and for prophylaxis
– Post exposure prophylaxis
– Prophylaxis for essential services workers
