Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical Cos. unit on Wednesday said it is ending the development of pimodivir, an investigational antiviral treatment for influenza A infection, after disappointing study results.

Janssen said interim analyses of a Phase 3 study in hospitalized patients with influenza A found that pimodivir in combination with the standard of care was very unlikely to show an added benefit compared to standard-of-care treatment alone.

The company said it is halting the trial in hospitalized patients, along with a parallel study in outpatients with influenza A.

Janssen licensed pimodivir in 2014 from Boston drug maker Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. in a deal that included an upfront payment of $30 million, along with contingent development and commercial milestone payments.
