E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Study A: Productive RSV infection (defined as positive viral detections by PCR assay on 2 consecutive sampling points during the quarantine, post RSV inoculation measured on day 2 onwards). Study B will start if there is productive infection in at least 1/6 volunteers in Study A
Study B: Area under the curve (AUC) for viral load as determined by quantitative PCR from a daily nasal-wash sample from day 2 to day 14 similar to previous studies. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Study A: 1. To understand transmission by performing RSV PCR on nasal samples from study personnel and fomites (faucet, handle to flush toilet, doorknob and light switch) before and after wiping these surfaces with alcohol on day 7 post inoculation [(nasal) swabs] 2. Safety measured by self-reported and physician-reported local and systemic adverse events and severe RSV disease defined as lower respiratory tract infection with PCR-confirmed RSV that requires hospitalization or ICU admission. Other: Leukocyte characterization, cytokines & chemokine profiles, RSV microneutralization, lung function over time, safety, adverse events, symptom profile.
Study B: 1. Local and systemic safety of IN palivizumab 2. PK & PD of palivizumab 3. To measure anti-drug antibodies (ADA's) to palivizumab Other: Leukocyte characterization, cytokines & chemokine profiles, RSV microneutralization, lung function over time, safety, adverse events, symptom profile. |

Recent (within adulthood) history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, reactive airway disease, or any other chronic lung illness b. History or evidence of impaired immune responsivity or autoimmune disease c. Confirmed hepatitis B (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or hepatitis C (HCV) infection 4. Adults with a nasal cold or obstructions which could interfere with administration of the study intervention 5. Simultaneous use of other nasal drops, sprays, or medications 6. Nasal surgery prior to or during the trial 7. COVID-19 infection 48 hours before study start 8. Pregnancy 9. Symptoms of clear nasal congestion |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Study A: The primary endpoint is the percent of patients with productive infection (defined by 2 positive viral detections by PCR assay on 2 consecutive sampling points during quarantine, post RSV inoculation measured from day 2 onwards)
Study B: The primary endpoint is the AUC viral load as measured by the qRT-PCR assay from viral load measurement from day 2 through day 14. This analysis will be performed to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the Narsyn (IMP) and placebo treatment groups in the mean AUC viral load. For the primary analysis, a mixed-effects model with a repeated-measures approach will be implemented to allow for unequal variances. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Evaluation occurs from day 0-10 and follow up through day 28 |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Study A: We will use a longitudinal mixed effect model to analyze the repeated measurements which can be considered a continuous outcome measure. We will fit a random intercept per participant to take the correlation within subjects into account. We will add time as a categorical variable (dummy coding) as the number of time points is limited. From this model, we can estimate the mean (95% CI) at every time point and calculate the area under the curve over time for each subject and the overall group.
Study B: Quantitative assessments of symptom scores, lung function, viral load (AUC), leukocyte numbers and inflammatory markers will be compared between study arms. These measures will be generated using descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, standard deviation, median, Q1, Q2, minimum and maximum). Dosing regimens were individually compared with the pooled placebo group, and all comparisons were two-sided, with the level of significance set at 0.05. Differences will be analyzed using two-tailed t-tests or Wilcoxon signed rank test as appropriate. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Follow up for human experimental model efficacy, definition of local and systemic safety of intranasal administration of palivizumab, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of palivizumab after intranasal administration, immunogenicity of preventative antibodies, and the determination of the half life of palivizumab occurs from day 0 to 10 and follow up occurs from day 11 to 28 |
