Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, infectivity, and immunogenicity of a single intranasal dose of a recombinant live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine in RSV-seronegative infants 6 to 24 months of age. This study was a companion study to CIR 312.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

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

  Solicited adverse events include 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 3 and Table 4 in the protocol document.

  Measured from Day 0 through Day 28

• Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs by Grade

  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 DAIDS AE Grading table v2.0 (see References).

  Measured from Day 0 through Day 28

• 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: 1. Results in death during the period of protocol-defined surveillance 2. 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 3. 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 4. Results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity 5. Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect 6. 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 from Day 0 through Day 56

• Number of Participants Infected With RSV Vaccine

  Defined as 1) vaccine virus identified in a nasal wash from Study Day 0-28 (a binary outcome based on nasal washes) or 2) greater than or equal to 4-fold rise in serum RSV-neutralizing antibody titer between Study Days 0 and 56.

  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

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

• Duration of Virus Shedding in Nasal Washes

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

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

• Number of Participants With a Greater Than or Equal to 4-fold Rise in Serum RSV-neutralizing Antibody Titer

  Immunogenicity was assessed pre-inoculation, and at approximately 2 months post-inoculation (Study Day 56). Antibody responses were defined as a greater than or equal to 4-fold increase in titer in paired specimens, between pre and post time points.

  Measured at Day 0 and Day 56

• Serum Antibody Responses to RSV F Glycoprotein as Assessed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

  Immunogenicity was assessed at approximately 2 months post-inoculation (Study Day 56).

  Measured at Day 56

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Number of Participants Who Had Symptomatic, Medically Attended Respiratory and Febrile Illness, by Grade, Among Those Who Experienced Natural Infection With wt RSV During the Subsequent RSV Season

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

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

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

• Number of Participants With B Cell Responses to Vaccine

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