Brief summary

A Phase 2, single center, randomized, double blind study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of MVA NP+M1 in the H3N2 human influenza challenge model; on healthy adult volunteers.

Detailed description

The study consists of an outpatient vaccination phase (155 participants), and at least 2 months later an inpatient challenge phase (134 participants). Participants are randomized 93:62 to receive either MVA-NP+M1 or Placebo. Up to 20 participants will be challenged over several 3-week blocks, and the remainder at the final 3-week block for a total of 80 MVA-NP+M1 and 54 Placebo recipients challenged.

T Cell Responses as Defined by ELISpot Assay in Relation to the Primary Endpoint, Symptom Scores and Influenza Incidence3 months (day 0, day 8 and day 28 of the vaccination period and day -1 and day 28 of the challenge period)T Cell Response was assessed for IFN gamma and granzyme B, on the peripheral blood mononuclear cell using a double-colour enzymatic ELISpot assay. For each of them, three stimulation antigens were assessed: nucleoprotein NP, matrix1 M1 and a negative control, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The number of spot-forming T cell colonies per well (i.e. 200,000 cells) +/- standard deviation for the total response to NP+M1 is reported. The endpoint was recorded as the mean spot-forming units per million peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the peptide-stimulated wells minus the mean DMSO control wells for the sample. T cell responses over time (sampling timepoints) were then assessed in relation to the primary endpoint, symptom scores, and influenza incidence.

Total Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Self-reported Influenza Total Symptom Score (SSC AUC)11 days from Day 1 to Day 11Total symptom scores were compared for MVA-NP+M1 vs. Placebo from Day1 to Day11 post-challenge as AUC of composite score. Symptoms were collected twice a day (lymphadenopathy once a day) on a Symptom Score Card(SSC). SSC recorded scores for each 16 general (gastrointestinal/body systemic) and 12 local (upper/lower respiratory tract) symptoms, on the scale per timepoint (for example Day2,AM). Participants rated the severity of symptoms, higher scores indicating a more severe symptom. The scores ranged from 0 to 3 (0:symptom free, 1:mild, 2:moderate, 3:severe).The SSC also contained the question whether the subject felt well to go to work today (yes/no). The Overall SSC score was calculated, as the Arithmetic Mean of the Scores collected across all 28 items on the card per Timepoint and ranged from 0 to maximum 3. The SSC AUC \[0-11 days\] was derived based on the Overall SSC score against time (\*hour), using the linear trapezoidal rule and it ranged from 0 to 110 Score\*hour.

T Cell Responses as Defined by ELISpot Assay in Relation to the Primary Endpoint, Symptom Scores and Influenza Incidence

T Cell Response was assessed for IFN gamma and granzyme B, on the peripheral blood mononuclear cell using a double-colour enzymatic ELISpot assay. For each of them, three stimulation antigens were assessed: nucleoprotein NP, matrix1 M1 and a negative control, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The number of spot-forming T cell colonies per well (i.e. 200,000 cells) +/- standard deviation for the total response to NP+M1 is reported. The endpoint was recorded as the mean spot-forming units per million peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the peptide-stimulated wells minus the mean DMSO control wells for the sample. T cell responses over time (sampling timepoints) were then assessed in relation to the primary endpoint, symptom scores, and influenza incidence.

Time frame: 3 months (day 0, day 8 and day 28 of the vaccination period and day -1 and day 28 of the challenge period)

Total Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Self-reported Influenza Total Symptom Score (SSC AUC)

Total symptom scores were compared for MVA-NP+M1 vs. Placebo from Day1 to Day11 post-challenge as AUC of composite score. Symptoms were collected twice a day (lymphadenopathy once a day) on a Symptom Score Card(SSC). SSC recorded scores for each 16 general (gastrointestinal/body systemic) and 12 local (upper/lower respiratory tract) symptoms, on the scale per timepoint (for example Day2,AM). Participants rated the severity of symptoms, higher scores indicating a more severe symptom. The scores ranged from 0 to 3 (0:symptom free, 1:mild, 2:moderate, 3:severe).The SSC also contained the question whether the subject felt well to go to work today (yes/no). The Overall SSC score was calculated, as the Arithmetic Mean of the Scores collected across all 28 items on the card per Timepoint and ranged from 0 to maximum 3. The SSC AUC \[0-11 days\] was derived based on the Overall SSC score against time (\*hour), using the linear trapezoidal rule and it ranged from 0 to 110 Score\*hour.

Time frame: 11 days from Day 1 to Day 11
