E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary efficacy objective is the evaluation of the effect of 2 dose levels of VIS410 + oseltamivir on clinical outcome as assessed by comparison of clinical status ordinal scale Day 7 scores between
treatment groups, and between all VIS410 recipients versus placebo.
The primary safety objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of 2 dose levels of a single intravenous (IV) dose of VIS410 when administered in combination with oseltamivir in hospitalized subjects with influenza A infection |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

cessation of oxygen (O2) support resulting in stable oxygen saturation (SpO2) by pulse oximetry. Stable SpO2 is defined as two consecutive
SpO2 values of > 92% on room air that are at least 8 hours apart.
• For any patient requiring supplemental oxygen therapy at the time of
enrollment (regardless of oxygen saturation), time to cessation of oxygen support.
• Evaluate the effect of VIS410 + oseltamivir vs oseltamivir alone on the
parameters described on the protocol.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy outcome analysis compares Day 7 clinical status
ordinal scale scores between treatment groups, and between all VIS410
recipients versus placebo. Clinical status is measured daily for 14 days
using the below seven-level ordinal scale, with the classifications
presented from the worst clinical outcome to the best clinical outcome in
descending order; for each day, subject status will be classified by the
worst clinical outcome for which they qualify.
_Death
_ICU stay with mechanical ventilation
_ICU stay without mechanical ventilation
_Non-ICU hospitalization with supplemental oxygen
_Non-ICU hospitalization without supplemental oxygen
_Discharge with partial resumption of normal activities
_Discharge with full resumption of normal activities
The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of subjects with AEs and
SAEs following administration of VIS410. |
