Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
qRT-PCR: Time From the Assessment at the Time of the First Dose of IMP to RSV VLPEAKDay 1 to Day 12Measured by qRT-PCR in nasal samples.
qRT-PCR: Time From the Assessment at the Time of the First Dose of IMP to RSV Viral Load NegativityDay 1 to Day 12The time from the assessment at the time of the first dose of IMP to qRT-viral load negativity was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Viral load negativity was reached at the first time when the viral load was undetectable (\< lower limit of detection \[LLOD\]) by qRT-PCR, after which no further detectable assessment appeared. Measured by qRT-PCR in nasal samples.
qRT-PCR: Time From the Assessment at the Time of the First Dose of IMP to First Negative Slope of RSV Viral LoadDay 1 to Day 12Time to first negative slope = time of the timepoint after which there are two consecutive declines in viral load - time of the nearest viral load assessment to the first dose of IMP. Measured by qRT-PCR in nasal samples.
qRT-PCR: RSV Viral Load Clearance Rate - EDP-323 High DoseUp to Day 16Calculated as the slope of the RSV viral load over time from time of RSV VLPEAK to 1, 2, 3, and 4 days later. Estimates for fixed effects of a mixed linear model, modeling the viral load from peak up to the 4 following days, with time from VLPEAK, group and interaction between time and group as fixed effects and a random intercept within each participant. The model was a distinct analysis for the EDP-323 high dose and placebo groups where the estimates for both groups are model-dependent and impacted by the overall model. A negative slope indicated that the viral load decreased over time. Measured by qRT-PCR in nasal samples.
qRT-PCR: RSV Viral Load Clearance Rate - EDP-323 Low DoseUp to Day 16Calculated as the slope of the RSV viral load over time from time of RSV VLPEAK to 1, 2, 3, and 4 days later. Estimates for fixed effects of a mixed linear model, modeling the viral load from peak up to the 4 following days, with time from VLPEAK, group and interaction between time and group as fixed effects and a random intercept within each participant. The model was a distinct analysis for the EDP-323 low dose and placebo groups where the estimates for both groups are model-dependent and impacted by the overall model. A negative slope indicated that the viral load decreased over time. Measured by qRT-PCR in nasal samples.
Viral Culture: RSV VL-AUCDay 1 to Day 12Measured by viral culture (plaque assay) in nasal samples.
Viral Culture: RSV VLPEAKDay 1 to Day 12Measured by viral culture (plaque assay) in nasal samples.
Viral Culture: Time From the Assessment at the Time of the First Dose of IMP to RSV VLPEAKDay 1 to Day 12Measured by viral culture (plaque assay) in nasal samples.
Time to Resolution From Peak TSSDay 1 to Day 12Time to resolution from peak TSS = time of the first 24-hour symptom-free time point - time of peak TSS. An individual TSS (10-items) was derived at each assessment of the diary card as the sum of the scores given to the 10 following symptoms on that symptom score card, giving a score between 0 and 3: * Runny nose * Stuffy nose * Sneezing * Sore throat * Earache * Malaise/Tiredness * Headache * Muscle and/or Joint Ache * Cough * Shortness of breath TSS ranged from 0 to 30 with higher TSS indicating a higher disease burden and thus a worse outcome.

Viral Culture: RSV Viral Load Clearance RateUp to Day 16Calculated as the slope of the RSV viral load over time from time of RSV VLPEAK to 1, 2, 3, and 4 days later. Estimates for fixed effects of a mixed linear model, modeling the viral load from peak up to the 4 following days, with time from VLPEAK, group and interaction between time and group as fixed effects and a random intercept within each participant. A negative slope indicated that the viral load decreased over time. Measured by viral culture in nasal samples.
Area Under the Total Symptom Score (TSS)-Time Curve (TSS-AUC)Day 1 to Day 12An individual TSS (10-items) was derived at each assessment of the diary card as the sum of the scores given to the 10 following symptoms on that symptom score card, giving a score between 0 and 3: * Runny nose * Stuffy nose * Sneezing * Sore throat * Earache * Malaise/Tiredness * Headache * Muscle and/or Joint Ache * Cough * Shortness of breath TSS ranged from 0 to 30 with higher TSS indicating a higher disease burden and thus a worse outcome. The calculation of the TSS-AUC was performed on the TSS measured 3 times a day using the trapezoidal summation rule based on actual time intervals in hours.
Peak TSSDay 1 to Day 12Defined as the highest recorded value of TSS. An individual TSS (10-items) was derived at each assessment of the diary card as the sum of the scores given to the 10 following symptoms on that symptom score card, giving a score between 0 and 3: * Runny nose * Stuffy nose * Sneezing * Sore throat * Earache * Malaise/Tiredness * Headache * Muscle and/or Joint Ache * Cough * Shortness of breath TSS ranged from 0 to 30 with higher TSS indicating a higher disease burden and thus a worse outcome.

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve Over the Dosing Interval (AUC0-tau)

Plasma PK parameters for EDP-323 and metabolites (EP-038725 and EP-039082) were estimated using non-compartmental methods. The AUCs were calculated using linear up/log down method. In estimating the PK parameters, BQL values were set to zero. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used in all computations involving sampling times. If the actual time or dose time was missing, the scheduled time could be substituted in order to calculate the PK parameter. In case of an actual sampling time deviating by \>20% from the scheduled (nominal) time, this plasma concentration was excluded from descriptive statistics in the plasma concentration-time table.

Time frame: Last Dose: Day 5 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours post-dose)

Time to Cmax (Tmax)

Plasma PK parameters for EDP-323 and metabolites (EP-038725 and EP-039082) were estimated using non-compartmental methods. The plasma PK parameters were estimated from the concentration-time profiles. In estimating the PK parameters, BQL values were set to zero. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used in all computations involving sampling times. If the actual time or dose time was missing, the scheduled time could be substituted in order to calculate the PK parameter. In case of an actual sampling time deviating by \>20% from the scheduled (nominal) time, this plasma concentration was excluded from descriptive statistics in the plasma concentration-time table.

Time frame: First Dose: Day 1 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 15 hours post-dose) and Day 2 pre-dose; Last Dose: Day 5 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours post-dose)

Time to Peak TSS

Time to peak TSS = time of peak TSS - time of the nearest TSS assessment to the first dose of IMP. An individual TSS (10-items) was derived at each assessment of the diary card as the sum of the scores given to the 10 following symptoms on that symptom score card, giving a score between 0 and 3: * Runny nose * Stuffy nose * Sneezing * Sore throat * Earache * Malaise/Tiredness * Headache * Muscle and/or Joint Ache * Cough * Shortness of breath TSS ranged from 0 to 30 with higher TSS indicating a higher disease burden and thus a worse outcome.

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 12

Time to Resolution From Peak TSS

Time to resolution from peak TSS = time of the first 24-hour symptom-free time point - time of peak TSS. An individual TSS (10-items) was derived at each assessment of the diary card as the sum of the scores given to the 10 following symptoms on that symptom score card, giving a score between 0 and 3: * Runny nose * Stuffy nose * Sneezing * Sore throat * Earache * Malaise/Tiredness * Headache * Muscle and/or Joint Ache * Cough * Shortness of breath TSS ranged from 0 to 30 with higher TSS indicating a higher disease burden and thus a worse outcome.

Viral Culture: RSV Viral Load Clearance Rate

Calculated as the slope of the RSV viral load over time from time of RSV VLPEAK to 1, 2, 3, and 4 days later. Estimates for fixed effects of a mixed linear model, modeling the viral load from peak up to the 4 following days, with time from VLPEAK, group and interaction between time and group as fixed effects and a random intercept within each participant. A negative slope indicated that the viral load decreased over time. Measured by viral culture in nasal samples.
