Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

Determine the effect of nirsevimab immunization on the development of the infant’s own humoral immune response (antibody levels) after an RSV infection

Secondary objectives 5

  1. Identification of RSV-infected infants
  2. Determine the kinetics of the decline in RSV-specific serum antibodies after immunization with nirsevimab
  3. Investigate the effect of age or weight at immunization, maternal antibodies and RSV infection on the kinetics of the decline of RSV-specific serum antibodies
  4. Determine the effect of nirsevimab immunization on the development of the infant’s own functional humoral immune response after an RSV infection
  5. Determine the relative contribution of the maternal and monoclonal (nirsevimab) fraction of RSV-specific serum antibodies

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Healthy infants receiving an RSV immunization to prevent for serious diseases due to an RSV infection

Study design 1 period

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 nirsevimab immunization
Controlled trial in which infants of 0-3 months of age immunized with nirsevimab will be followed up to 12 months after immunization. They will be compared to the control group of children of 12-15 months of age who have not received the RSV immunization.
Not Applicable None Nirsevimab group: infants 0-3 months of age who receive the nirsevimab immunization
Control group: Infants of 12-15 months of age who did not receive the nirsevimab immunization

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 6

  1. Nirsevimab group: Infants and newborns born before or at the beginning of the RSV season and are 0-4 months of age by immunization
  2. Control group: Children around 12-15 months of age at the start of the RSV season (September/October)
  3. Nirsevimab group: Infants eligible for the nirsevimab immunization and the parents/ legal representatives decided that the infants will receive the nirsevimab immunization
  4. Children have to be healthy according to the same health criteria applied in the well baby clinic when a child is immunized, e.g. also infants with small increases in body temperature or a cold are seen as children with normal health
  5. The parents/ legal representatives accept participation of their (unborn) child in the study according to the described procedures
  6. Presence of a signed informed consent (the parents/legal representatives have given written informed consent after receiving oral and written information)

Exclusion criteria 10

  1. Nirsevimab group: Having received nirsevimab immunization before study entry
  2. Control group: Having received nirsevimab immunization
  3. Control group: Being hospitalized due to a confirmed RSV infection
  4. The biological mother received an RSV vaccination during pregnancy
  5. Nirsevimab group: Confirmed RSV infection before study entry
  6. Active or past immunosuppressive or immune modulating medication. However, for steroid treatment the exclusion criteria are: receipt of any high-dose (≥ 20 mg of prednisone daily or equivalent) steroid treatment; daily corticosteroids (locally, incl. inhaled steroids, are acceptable) within 2 weeks before study entry or repeated use of any high dose of corticosteroids (a dose of > 30 mg of prednisone or equivalent per day for multiple days) within 2 weeks before study entry. The use of hydrocortisone as a substitution therapy in case a subject does not produce sufficient amounts is allowed.
  7. Known or suspected immunological disorder
  8. Known or suspected bleeding disorder
  9. Premature infants born before 37 weeks gestational age
  10. Known or suspected serious underlying medical condition that can interfere with the results of the study. Such as, but not limited to, certain chromosomal abnormalities or craniofacial abnormalities (like Trisomy 21 or schisis), known or suspected immunodeficiency disease, seizure disorder or cancer.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. RSV-specific antibody levels at 12 months post-nirsevimab immunization in the nirsevimab group and the control group (at 12-15 months of age)

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. RSV-specific serum IgA levels pre- and 2, 4, 6, 12 months post-nirsevimab immunization and in the control group
  2. RSV-specific serum antibody levels pre- and 2, 4, 6 and 12 months post-nirsevimab immunization
  3. RSV-specific serum antibody concentration pre- and 2, 4, 6 and 12 months postnirsevimab immunization / Questionnaire data such as age and weight of immunization
  4. RSV-specific antibody neutralization and Fc-functionality at 12 months post immunization in the nirsevimab group and the control group
  5. RSV-specific monoclonal and maternal antibody levels pre- and 2, 4, 6 and 12 months post-nirsevimab immunization
