"For example, even though it may not be possible to predict how the drug will affect new viral strains, the drug's clinical effects and antiviral resistance profiles in seasonal influenza outbreaks contribute to the evaluation of the drug's likely utility in future circumstances." "Drug development experience with influenza antiviral drug products in the interpandemic period is, therefore, important to assessing drugs that may be suitable for stockpiling," the agency concludes.
