Safety and Immunogenicity of RSVpreF Coadministered With SIIV in Adults ≥65 Years of Age

A PHASE 3, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS PREFUSION F SUBUNIT VACCINE WHEN COADMINISTERED WITH SEASONAL INACTIVATED INFLUENZA VACCINE IN ADULTS ≥65 YEARS OF AGE

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of RSVpreF when coadministered with SIIV compared to sequential administration of the vaccines when given 1 month apart (SIIV followed by RSVpreF). Additionally, the study will contribute data supporting the development of RSVpreF as a prophylactic vaccine against RSV disease in infants through maternal immunization and in older adults through active vaccination.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Placebo; Biological: RSVpreF Vaccine; Biological: Seasonal Inactivated Influenza Vaccine

Detailed Description

This Phase 3, multicenter, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study will be conducted in Australia and/or another southern hemisphere country.

Healthy adults ≥65 years of age will be randomized 1:1 to either the coadministration group (RSVpreF + SIIV)/placebo or the sequential-administration group (placebo + SIIV)/RSVpreF. This study design intends to use a single lot of NIP SIIV that is specifically indicated for use in adults ≥65 years of age.

There are 3 scheduled study visits each 1 month apart. To assess immunogenicity, 30 mL blood will be collected prior to vaccination at Visit 1 and Visit 2, and at Visit 3.

Local reactions (redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site) occurring at the RSVpreF or placebo injection site (left deltoid) and systemic events (fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and joint pain) occurring within 7 days after each vaccination visit (Visit 1 and Visit 2) will be prompted for and collected daily by the participant in an e-diary device or smartphone app. SIIV injection site reactions will not be routinely collected in the e-diary.

AEs and SAEs will be collected from the signing of informed consent through Visit 3.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Reporting Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination With RSVpreF or Placebo	Local reactions were collected at the RSVpreF or placebo injection site after Vaccination 1 and Vaccination 2 and were recorded by participants using electronic diary (e-diary). Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at injection site. Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units where, 1 measuring device unit =0.5 centimeter (cm) and were graded as mild (greater than [>] 2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (>5.0 to 10.0 cm), and severe (>10.0 cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), and severe (prevented daily activity). Percentage of participants reporting local reactions at injection site in Coadministration Group, and Sequential-Administration Group and associated 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) based on Clopper and Pearson method was presented in this outcome measure (OM). Safety population=all enrolled participants who received study intervention (RSVpreF, placebo).	Within 7 days after Vaccination 1 or Vaccination 2
Percentage of Participants Reporting Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination With RSVpreF or Placebo	Systemic events included fever, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and joint pain and were recorded by participants using an e-diary. Fever was defined as an oral temperature >=38.0 degree Celsius (deg C) and categorized as >=38.0 to 38.4 deg C (mild), >38.4 to 38.9 deg C (moderate), >38.9 to 40.0 deg C (severe) and >40.0 deg C (grade 4). Fatigue, headache, nausea, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (prevented daily routine activity). Vomiting was graded mild: 1 to 2 times in 24 hours (h), moderate: >2 times in 24h, and severe: required intravenous hydration. Diarrhea was graded mild: 2 to 3 loose stools in 24h, moderate: 4 to 5 loose stools in 24h and severe: 6 or more loose stools in 24h. Percentage of participants with systemic events within 7 days after each vaccination and the associated 2-sided 95% CI based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented.	Within 7 days after Vaccination 1 or Vaccination 2
Percentage of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination 1	An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Percentage of participants reporting AEs within 1 month after Vaccination 1 were reported in this outcome measure. Exact 2-sided CI was calculated using the Clopper and Pearson method. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e., excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.	Within 1 month after Vaccination 1
Percentage of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination 2	An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Percentage of participants reporting AEs within 1 month after Vaccination 2 were reported in this outcome measure. Exact 2-sided CI was calculated using the Clopper and Pearson method. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e. excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.	Within 1 month after Vaccination 2
