Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Part A — Primary endpoint: Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), from first IMP administration up to the last follow-up visit (Day 28) Part B — Primary endpoint: Area under the viral load-time curve (VL-AUC) of influenza A/H1N1 challenge virus, measured by qRT-PCR on nasal samples collected during the post-challenge quarantine period from Day 1 to Day 8

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Part A — Secondary Endpoints: 1. PK: CR9114 mAb concentrations in serum and nasosorption (epithelial lining fluid) samples at protocol-specified timepoints 2. Immunogenicity: Presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in serum Part B — Secondary Endpoints: Efficacy endpoints are assessed during the post-challenge quarantine period from Day 1 to Day 8 Efficacy — Viral load: 1. VL-AUC of influenza A challenge virus, measured by viral culture 2. Peak VL, time to peak VL, time to resolution of VL, measured by qRT-PCR or viral culture Efficacy — Infection incidence: 3. Laboratory-confirmed influenza infection, measured by qRT-PCR or culture, with and without specified symptoms Efficacy — Symptoms: 4. Total Symptom Score (TSS) AUC, peak TSS, peak daily symptoms and time to symptoms resolution Safety: 5. TEAEs (including SAEs) from first IMP administration through Day 28follow-up 6. SAEs related to challenge agent from Day 0 through Day 28 follow-up 7. Concomitant medication use from Day 0 through Day 28 follow-up PK and Immunogenicity: 8. CR9114 mAb concentrations in serum and nasosorption samples at protocol-specified timepoints 9. Presence of ADAs in serum
