A PHASE 3 PROTOCOL TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV) PREFUSION F SUBUNIT VACCINE IN ADULTS AT HIGH RISK OF SEVERE RSV DISEASE

Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immunogenicity of a study vaccine (called RSVpreF) in several adult groups. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common type of virus (germ) that can cause severe illness, where medical help is needed. RSV can lead to airway diseases in all ages. Vaccines help your body make antibodies which help fight against diseases. This is called an immune response. This study will measure how much antibody participants make after receiving RSVpreF (immunogenicity). The study consists of 2 groups (Substudy A and Substudy B). Substudy A is seeking approximately 675 participants who are: - Between 18 and 60 years of age. - Considered having a high likelihood of severe RSV disease due to certain long-term medical conditions. Such medical conditions do not include immunocompromising conditions. Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 2 times. At the first clinic visit, participants will receive 1 shot of RSVpreF or placebo in the arm by chance. A placebo looks like the study vaccine but contains no active ingredients. At each clinic visit, a blood sample will be taken. A third (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 6 months long for each participant. Substudy B is seeking approximately 200 participants who are: - At least 18 years of age. About half of the participants will be at least 60 years of age. - Considered having a weakened immune system (immunocompromised). Participants will need to come to the study clinic at least 3 times. All participants will receive a shot of RSVpreF at the first study clinic visit. The second study clinic visit will be 1 month later. All participants will receive a second shot of the study vaccine at this second study clinic visit. Blood samples will be taken at the 3 study clinic visits. A fourth (final) visit can be either completed in clinic or via telephone contact. This study is about 7 months long for each participant.

FluGen 20-0009 (CIVICS)

Infectious Disease Influenza Healthy Subjects Pediatric Subjects

This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalating, age de-escalating, placebo-controlled study of 200 children, ages 6 months to 17 years. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability/reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of one and two doses of Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine (manufactured by FluGen) administered intranasally in seven cohorts of children. The study design includes pre-planned Safety Review Committee( SRC) reviews. The first two groups to be vaccinated will be Cohorts 1 and 2. Cohort 1 consists of 45 children 9-17 years old. Thirty of them will receive one dose of the vaccine at a dose of 10^9 TCID50, and 15 will receive one dose of placebo. Cohort 2 comprises 45 children 2-8 years old. Thirty of them will receive one dose of the vaccine at a dose of 10^8 TCID50 and 15 will receive one dose of placebo. Cohort 3 consists of 25 children 2-8 years old. 15 of them will receive one dose of vaccine at 10^9 TCID50 and 10 will receive one dose of placebo. Once 25 participants in Cohort 3 have completed Day 8 of follow-up, similar to Cohorts 1 and 2, the SRC will review to ensure no halting rules are met and if no rules are met, and the SRC determines it is safe to proceed, simultaneous enrollment into Cohorts 4 and 5 can begin. If any halting rules are met or any concerns are raised by the SRC, an external SMC may meet to discuss the data for recommendations on either progression or clinical trial modification before progression to the next cohort. Cohort 4 consists of 25 children 2-8 years old; 15 of them will receive two doses of vaccine at 10^9 TCID50 and 10 will receive two doses of placebo, with a 28-day interval between the first and second doses. Due to the limited availability of product, and funding to support additional years of enrollment into Cohorts 5, 6, and 7, the decision was made to stop enrollment after the final participant was enrolled into Cohort 4. The primary study objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of one and two administrations of the Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine at 10^8 or 10^9 TCID50 delivered intranasally to healthy participants, 2 to 17 years of age.
