About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase I Study of the Infectivity, Safety, and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of the Recombinant Live-Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccines RSV ΔNS2/Δ1313/I1314L or RSV 276 or Placebo, Delivered as Nose Drops to RSV-Seronegative Infants 6 to 24 Months of Age

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the infectivity, safety, and immunogenicity of the recombinant live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines RSV ΔNS2/Δ1313/I1314L or RSV 276 when delivered as nose drops to RSV-seronegative infants 6 to 24 months of age.

This study was a companion study to Center for Immunization Research (CIR) 321.

Read the detailed description

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common viral cause of serious acute lower respiratory illness (LRI) in infants and children under 5 years of age worldwide. This study evaluated the infectivity, safety, and immunogenicity of two recombinant live-attenuated RSV vaccines: RSV ΔNS2/Δ1313/I1314L and RSV 276. The vaccines were delivered as nose drops to RSV-seronegative infants 6 to 24 months of age.

Participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of the RSV ΔNS2/Δ1313/I1314L vaccine, the RSV 276 vaccine, or placebo at study entry (Day 0).

Participants could be enrolled in the study outside of RSV season, i.e., between April 1 and October 14 for most sites or-for sites with local RSV seasons that start earlier-as specified on a site-by-site basis in the manual of procedures. Participants remained on study until they completed the post-RSV season visit between April 1 and April 30 in the calendar year following enrollment. Participants' total study duration was between 6 and 13 months, depending on when they enrolled in the study. Participants attended several study visits throughout the study, which included physical examinations, blood collection, nasal washes, and/or nasal adsorption (nasosorption) specimen collection. Participants' parents or guardians were contacted by study staff at various times during the study to monitor participants' health.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) by Grade

    Solicited adverse events included fever; otitis media; upper respiratory illness (URI); lower respiratory illness (LRI) and cough (without LRI). The number of participants who experienced solicited adverse events was presented. A participant was only counted once in each solicited AE category, and that is in the line corresponding to the highest grade adverse event they had in that category. These events were graded (Grade 1-mild to Grade 4-life-threatening) following protocol-defined grading system outlined in Table 5 and Table 6 in the protocol document.

    Measured: Measured from Day 0 through Day 28

  2. Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited adverse events were other events, not included in the solicited AEs. The number of participants who experienced solicited adverse events was presented. A participant was only counted once in each unsolicited AE category, and that is in the line corresponding to the highest grade adverse event they had in that category. AE grading (Grade 1- mild to Grade 4-life-threatening) was done by Division of AIDS (DAIDS) AE Grading table v2.0 (see References).

    Measured: Measured from Day 0 through Day 28

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is an AE, whether considered related to the study product or not, that:

    • Results in death during the period of protocol-defined surveillance;
    • Is life threatening: defined as an event in which the patient was at immediate risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have caused death were it more severe;
    • Requires inpatient hospitalization (or prolongation of existing hospitalization): defined as at least an overnight stay in the hospital or emergency ward for treatment that would have been inappropriate if administered in the outpatient setting;
    • Results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity;
    • Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR
    • Is an important medical event that may not be immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Measured from Day 0 through Day 56

  4. Number of Participants Infected With RSV Vaccine Virus

    Defined as 1) vaccine virus identified in a nasal wash from Study Day 0-28 (a binary outcome based on nasal washes); and/or 2) greater than or equal to 4-fold rise in RSV serum neutralizing antibody titer and/or serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titer to the RSV F protein from study entry to Study Day 56

    Measured: Measured at Days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 28 for nasal washes, and at Days 0, 56 for serum RSV-neutralizing antibodies

  5. Peak Titer of Vaccine Virus Shed

    This is the highest value per participant of the titer of vaccine virus shed. It was measured by culture. Only participants who met the definition of infection with vaccine virus were included.

    Measured: Measured at Days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 28

  6. Duration of Virus Shedding in Nasal Washes

    Determined separately by a) culture and b) reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)

    Measured: Measured at Days 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, and 28. Last day positive is reported.

  7. Number of Participants With a Greater Than or Equal to 4-fold Rise in Serum RSV-neutralizing Antibody Titers

    Antibody responses were defined as a greater than or equal to 4-fold increase in titer in paired specimens, between pre-inoculation and post-inoculation time points.

    Measured: Measured at Day 0 and Day 56

  8. Serum RSV-neutralizing Antibody Titers

    Serum RSV-neutralizing antibody titers were assessed by 60% RSV-plaque reduction neutralization titer (RSV-PRNT) assay.

    Measured: Measured at Day 56

  9. Number of Participants With a Greater Than or Equal to 4-fold Rise in Serum Antibody Titers to RSV F Glycoprotein

    Antibodies were assessed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). A response was defined as a greater than or equal to 4-fold increase in titer in paired specimens, between pre-inoculation and post-inoculation time points.

    Measured: Measured at Day 0 and Day 56

  10. Serum Antibody Responses to RSV F Glycoprotein

    Serum antibody titers to RSV F glycoprotein were assessed by ELISA.

    Measured: Measured at Day 56

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants Who Had RSV-associated Symptomatic, Medically Attended Respiratory and Febrile Illness, by Grade, Among Those Who Experienced Natural Infection With wt RSV During the Subsequent RSV Season

    The number of participants who had RSV-associated, symptomatic, medically attended respiratory and febrile illness (MAARI) among those who had indicators of natural infection with wt RSV were presented. Natural infection with wt RSV during the RSV season surveillance was defined as having either RSV detected in nasal washes collected during illness visits for MAARI events or a > 4-fold rise in serum antibodies from pre- to post-RSV season in the absence of RSV-associated medical events. A participant was only counted once in each MAARI category, and that was in the line corresponding to the highest grade adverse event they had in that category. These events were graded (Grade 1-mild to Grade 4-life-threatening) following protocol-defined grading system outlined in Table 5 and Table 6 in the protocol document.

    Measured: Measured through participant's last study visit, up to a total of 6 to 10 months depending on when participants enrolled in the study

  2. Magnitude of Serum RSV-neutralizing Antibody Responses in the Vaccine and Placebo Recipients Who Experienced Natural Infection With wt RSV During the Subsequent RSV Season.

    Only participants who had RSV detected in nasal washes or a greater than or equal to 4-fold rise in serum antibodies during the subsequent RSV season were included. RSV-neutralizing antibody titers were measured pre- and post-RSV surveillance season subsequent to the time of the inoculation.

    Measured: Measured through participant's last study visit, up to a total of 6 to 10 months depending on when participants enrolled in the study
