A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of MEDI7510 in Older Adults

A Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of MEDI7510 in Older Adults

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of ascending doses of adjuvant in combination with a single dosage level of RSV sF in adults 60 years or older who are healthy or who have stable, chronic underlying medical conditions. This study will also provide preliminary safety and immunogenicity data to support concurrent dosing of MEDI7510 with influenza vaccine (IIV), and to assess the safety of MEDI7510 at a dose previously assessed in the Phase 1a study.

A Phase 1b, double-blind, randomized, controlled cohort escalation study evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of MEDI7510.

Approximately 264 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 5 study centers in the US and randomized by cohort (Cohort 1 [4:1]; Cohorts 2 and 3 [8:8:3]; Cohort 4 [5:1]) to receive a single intramuscular dose of 1 study vaccine (Cohorts 1 and 4) or a single intramuscular dose of each of 2 study vaccines (Cohorts 2 and 3) administered in contralateral arms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Symptoms	Solicited symptoms are events that are considered likely to occur post dosing and included the local reaction (pain, tenderness or soreness, redness, and swelling at the site of injection) to investigational product (IP) injection and systemic symptoms (fever greater than or equal to [>=] 100.4°F [>=38°C] by any route, headache, generalized muscle aches, and fatigue or tiredness) that might be related to IP injection. Solicited symptoms were not coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and summarized regardless of whether or not they are treatment emergent. The percentage of participants with solicited symptoms were recorded during Days 1 (day of dosing) through 7.	Day 1 to Day 7
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-emergent were the events between administration of study drug and including the follow-up period through Day 29. The AEs were summarized using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version 18.1.	From Day 1 to Day 29
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events	A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of following reason: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience (immediate risk), persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly, and a medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.	From Day 1 to Day 361
Percentage of Participants With New Onset Chronic Diseases (NOCDs)	A NOCD was a newly diagnosed medical condition that is of a chronic, ongoing nature. It was observed after receiving study drug and was assessed by investigator as medically significant. All NOCDs were recorded from the time of dosing through the day of the last participant contact (Day 361 visit).	From Day 1 to Day 361
Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (TEAESI)	An AESI was one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study product and may have required close monitoring and rapid communication by investigator to the sponsor. Treatment emergent AESIs were collected from the time of dosing through the day of the last participant contact (Day 361 visit).	From Day 1 to Day 361

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Serum Antibodies Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) by RSV A Microneutralization Assay	GMTs of serum antibodies against RSV, as assessed by the RSV A microneutralization assay at Baseline and the results through Day 361 were presented. Humoral immunogenicity samples was used to assess RSV A neutralizing antibody. Humoral immunity against RSV was assessed by a microneutralization assay for RSV A.

Percentage of Participants With Post-dose Seroresponse to RSV by RSV A Microneutralization Assay	Seroresponse defined as a greater than or equal to (>=) 3-fold rise in titer from baseline. Humoral immunogenicity samples was used to assess RSV A neutralizing antibody. Humoral immunity against RSV was assessed by a microneutralization assay for RSV A.	Day 29
Geometric Mean Concentrations of Serum Antibodies Against RSV by Anti F Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Assay	Humoral immunogenicity samples were used to assess anti-F IgG antibodies measured using a 4-plex Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) platform assay. Results through Day 361 are presented.	Baseline (Day 1), Day 29, 61, 91, 181, 271, and 361
GMFRs of Serum Antibodies Against RSV by Anti F IgG Assay	The Anti F IgG antibodies were derived from the RSV-specific 4-plex MSD assay developed on the Meso Scale discovery platform. Humoral immunogenicity samples were used to assess anti-F IgG antibodies measured using a 4-plex Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) platform assay. Results through Day 361 are presented.	Day 29, 61, 91, 181, 271, and 361

Ratios of GMTs and GMFRs of Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Antibodies	The ratio of post-dose HAI antibody GMTs and GMFRs in the IIV group and the MEDI7510 plus IIV group was provided by strain and by cohort for Cohorts 2 and 3 to check the effect of MEDI7510 on IIV when administered together. Humoral immunity against influenza consisting of HAI antibody to strains antigenically matched to those contained in the IIV was assessed on Day 29 by each strain (H1N1, H3N2, B/Yamagata).	Day 29
