Brief summary

This is a phase 2a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of molnupiravir (MK-4482) in healthy participants inoculated with experimental influenza virus. The primary hypotheses are that MK-4482 initiated 12 hours following intranasal inoculation of the influenza challenge virus reduces the peak viral load compared to placebo and that MK-4482 initiated 2 days following intranasal inoculation of the influenza challenge virus reduces the viral load area under the curve (AUC) compared to placebo.

Detailed description

This study has two parts. Part 1 is an open-label validation study, with a cohort of 20 untreated participants undergoing nasal inoculation with the A/France/759/21 \[H1N1\] strain on Day 0 to confirm viral infectivity and disease. Part 2 will be a randomized, double-blind placebo- and active-comparator-controlled study where participants will be inoculated on Day 0 with either the A/France/759/21 \[H1N1\] virus used in Part 1 or an alternative influenza virus. Part 2 will evaluate the antiviral efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of MK-4482 in participants inoculated with the challenge virus.

Recruitment details

This was a 2-part study in healthy participants. Part 1 was an open label validation study to confirm that Part 2 can proceed using the same challenge strain.

Pre-assignment details

Before viral inoculation on Day 0, participants had serosuitability confirmed by negative hemagglutination inhibition and quarantined participants underwent additional screening to exclude those with respiratory pathogens, and participants who were excluded at this time did not receive study intervention.

Part 1: Area Under the Total Symptom Score-Time Curve (TSS-AUC) From Day 1 AM Through Day 8 AM After Intranasal Inoculation

For each participant, the sum of grade values for each symptom was used to obtain a total symptom score (TSS). TSS ranged from 0 to 31, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. TSS were used to calculate the AUC for each participant based on the available non-missing calculated total symptom scores between Day 1 until Day 8 (quarantine discharge) using the Trapezoidal rule.

Part 1: Peak Total Symptom Score (TSS) From Day 1 AM Through Day 8 AM After Intranasal Inoculation

Participants used a symptom diary card to record the daily severity of 10 clinical symptoms on a scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (bothersome and interferes with activities), with the exception of shortness of breath symptom which was scored from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (symptoms at rest). For each participant, the sum of grade values for each symptom was used to obtain a total symptom score (TSS). TSS ranged from 0 to 31, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. The highest TSS (defined as the sum of all 10 individual composite symptoms) was summarized by treatment group and analyzed using a linear model with treatment group as a fixed categorical effect. Peak TSS measured from 10 symptoms within the graded symptom scoring system collected 3 times daily was reported. Peak TSS in Part 1 participants from day 1 AM up to day 8 is presented. Per protocol, only data for part 1 participants were presented for this endpoint.

Part 2: VL-AUC Determined by Quantitative Viral Culture (TCID50 Assay) From Day 1 PM Through Discharge Day 8 AM After Intranasal Inoculation (Molnupiravir Tx and Placebo)

VL-AUC is the area under the viral load-time curve of influenza challenge virus nasopharyngeal samples determined by QVC. H1N1 viral load was computed for each participant from nasophayngeal samples collected twice daily (morning and evening) from day 1 PM to day 8 AM. VL-AUC (on the log10 scale) was analyzed using a linear model with treatment group as a fixed categorical effect. Per protocol, only data for Molnupiravir Tx and placebo were presented for this endpoint.

Time frame: Day 1 PM, Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - twice daily (AM and PM), and day 8 AM post viral inoculation

Population: All randomized participants who received 1 dose of the correct clinical material corresponding to the treatment group the participants were randomized into, who received the viral inoculation, meet the criterion for laboratory-confirmed influenza infection and had available data for the endpoint.

t1/2 of NHC

NHC is the pharmacologically active moiety of molnupiravir (MK-4482) and therefore its primary pharmacokinetic measure. t1/2 is the amount of time required to clear 50% of NHC following the oral administration of Molnupiravir. Per protocol, t1/2 for only Molnupiravir PEP and Molnupiravir Tx were reported.

Time frame: Day (D) 0, D2, D4: predose D5: predose, 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post dose

Population: All participants who comply with the protocol sufficiently to ensure that generated data will be likely to exhibit the effects of treatment, according to the underlying scientific model and had available data from at least one treatment.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of NHC

NHC is the pharmacologically active moiety of molnupiravir (MK-4482) and therefore its primary pharmacokinetic measure. Tmax was defined as the time to peak concentration. Plasma samples were collected at multiple time points pre-and post-administration and used to determine Tmax following oral administration of Molnupiravir. Per protocol, Tmax for only Molnupiravir PEP and Molnupiravir Tx were reported.

Time frame: Day (D) 0, D2, D4: predose D5: predose, 0.5, 1.5, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours post dose

Population: All participants who comply with the protocol sufficiently to ensure that generated data will be likely to exhibit the effects of treatment, according to the underlying scientific model and had available data from at least one treatment.
