Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to show that MVA-NP+M1 decreases the viral shedding of influenza virus, as measured by the cumulative area under the curve, following human challenge.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to show safety, the effect on the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza-like illness (ILI), total and individual symptom scores, and mucous production (measured by tissue weight). Immune T cell responses and correlation of these responses with efficacy will also be investigated.;Primary end point(s): Efficacy: Total viral area under the curve (vAUC) for virologic shedding as measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) for MVA-NP+M1 vs. Placebo groups.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: throughout the trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Incidence in each group (MVA-NP+M1 and saline Placebo) of laboratory-confirmed ILI (qPCR or culture). - Total AUC for total symptom score (regardless of take rate) for MVA vs. Placebo - Total days of fever for MVA-NP+M1 vs. Placebo - Total mucus weight (regardless of take rate) for MVA vs. Placebo - Correlation of T cell responses (as defined by ELISpot assay) to the primary endpoint, symptom scores, and influenza incidence - The attack rate, defined as percentage of inoculated subjects with at least two consecutive positive swabs as determined by qPCR Safety - Frequency and severity of patient-recorded local and systemic adverse events recorded for the 7 days following vaccination - Frequency and severity of non-solicited adverse events captured throughout the study after vaccination - Frequency and types of serious adverse events - Severity of adverse events in each study group following intranasal challenge with H3N2;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: throughout the trial | — |
