Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The Mean Shannon index measured in healthy subjects and in subjects after RSV infection. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Productive infection (defined as 2 positive viral detections by PCR assay on 2 consecutive sampling points during the quarantine, post RSV inoculation measured on day 2 onwards). [nasal lavage]. To characterize leukocytes pre- and post-inoculation [nasal scrape]. To determine cytokine and chemokine profile pre- and post-inoculation [nasosorption]. To measure microneutralizaion of RSV-antibodies pre and post inoculation [blood]. To measure lung function over time pre and post inoculation (FEV1, FVC, and FEF25-75) [spirometry]. To understand RSV transmission by performing RSV PCR on nasal samples from study personnel and fomites (bed, chair, clothing, doorknob and light switch) before and after wiping these surfaces with alcohol on day 4 post inoculation [(nasal) swabs]. To measure safety by self-reported and physician-reported local and systemic adverse events, and severe RSV disease defined as lower respiratory tract infection with PCR-confirmed RSV that requires hospitalization or ICU admission To measure symptom profile over time in study participants. | — |
