Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess serum neutralising antibody response to PIV3 and hMPV-A, hMPV-B during the convalescent period in PCR-confirmed PIV3 and/or hMPV positive cases. Endpoints: •PIV3 serum nAb titres during the convalescent period •hMPV-A serum nAb titres during the convalescent period •hMPV-B serum nAb titres during the convalescent period Measured by assessment of blood samples collected. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess serum neutralising antibody response to PIV3 and hMPV-A, hMPV-B during the baseline period in PCR-confirmed PIV3 and/or hMPV positive cases. Endpoints: • PIV3 serum nAb titres during the baseline period • hMPV-A serum nAb titres during the baseline period • hMPV-B serum nAb titres during the baseline period 2. To assess changes in serum neutralising antibody response to PIV3 and hMPV-A, hMPV-B between baseline and convalescent periods in PCR-confirmed PIV3 and/or hMPV positive cases. Endpoints: • PIV3 serum nAb titres during the baseline and convalescent periods • hMPV-A serum nAb titres during the baseline and convalescent periods • hMPV-B serum nAb titres during the baseline and convalescent periods 3. To assess PIV3, hMPV serum binding IgG response during the baseline and convalescent periods in PCR-confirmed PIV3 and/or hMPV positive cases. Endpoints: • PIV3 serum binding IgG concentrations during the baseline and convalescent periods • hMPV serum binding IgG concentrations during the baseline and convalescent periods 4. To assess changes in PIV3, hMPV serum binding IgG response between baseline and convalescent periods in PCR-confirmed PIV3 and/or hMPV positive cases. Endpooints: • PIV3 serum binding IgG concentrations during the baseline and convalescent periods • hMPV serum binding IgG concentrations during the baseline and convalescent periods 5. To assess cross-reactivity between RSV and PIV3/hMPV. Endpoints: • RSV-A and RSV-B serum nAbs titres in patients testing positive to PIV3 and/or hMPV during the baseline and convalescent periods • RSV serum binding IgG concentrations in patients testing positive to PIV3 and/or hMPV during the baseline and convalescent periods 6. To assess cross-reactivity between PIV3 and hMPV. Endpoints: • hMPV-A and hMPV-B serum nAb titres in patients testing positive to PIV3 during the baseline and convalescent periods • hMPV serum binding IgG concentrations in patients testing positive | — |
