ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime for Viral Load to Drop Below Assay Quantification Limit (BQL) (Plaque Assay Analysis)Overall Study Period (i.e., approximately 28 days)
The primary endpoint for this trial was the time needed for the viral load to drop below the quantification limit (time-to-BQL) of the plaque assay in nasal mid-turbinate swab specimens. Time-to-BQL was defined as the time from the first study drug administration to the first occurrence of a value below the quantification limit (BQL), provided the next measured value was also below the limit of quantification. The time to BQL for subjects with missing data and/or who did not reach BQL during the trial were censored at the last non-missing viral load assessment. The primary endpoint was analysed using logrank test to compare time-to-BQL between each of the ALX-0171 treatment groups and the combined placebo group. The tests were performed in a sequential way to preserve the family-wise error rate at 0.05. The comparisons were performed in the following order: ALX-0171 9 mg/kg vs Placebo, followed by ALX-0171 6mg/kg vs Placebo, ALX-0171 3mg/kg vs Placebo.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Global Severity Score on Day 2 (5 Hours Post-dose)from Baseline untill Day 2 (5 hours post-dose)
A formal comparison for change from Baseline in GSS to Day 2, 5 hours post-dose was performed using a contrast analysis on a longitudinal mixed model with random factor subject and fixed effects baseline value, treatment group and timepoint, including the treatment-by-timepoint interaction term. All data up to and including Day 3 were used in the longitudinal mixed model. The Kenward-Roger approximation of degrees of freedom was used. The model was fitted using an unstructured variance-covariance matrix. The individual pair-wise comparisons were reported (comparison in least square \[LS\] means for 9.0 mg/kg versus placebo; 6.0mg/kg versus placebo; 3.0 mg/kg versus placebo). Evolution over time in Global Severity Score. The maximum total score is 20 (minimum:0 to manimum:20); higher score indicates more severe disease.
SecondaryTime-to-Clinical ResponseOverall Study Period (i.e., approximately 28 days)
The time-to-clinical response was defined as the time between the first study drug administration and the time of achieving adequate oxygen saturation (defined as SpO2 \> 92% over a period of at least 4 hours) and adequate oral feeding (which is sufficient to maintain sufficient hydration, in the judgment of the Investigator).
SecondaryTime-to-BQL (RT-qPCR)Overall Study Period (i.e., approximately 28 days)
As secondary endpoint, the time-to-BQL using RT-qPCR was summarized using Kaplan Meier (KM) estimates. No p-values were calculated. For RSV load by RT-qPCR, the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 2.4 log10 copies/mL. The upper limit confidence interval (CI) could not be calculated; Values of the 25 percentile are reported here.
SecondaryTime-to-undetectable Viral Load (Plaque Assay Analysis)Overall Study Period (i.e., approximately 28 days)
The time-to-undetectability (hours), defined as the time from the first study drug administration to the first occurrence of viral titer below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), and target not detected provided the next measured value was also below the quantification limit and undetected, were summarized using KM estimates, based on the plaque assay. The time-to-event for subjects with missing data and/or subjects who did not reach undetectability during the trial were censored at the last non-missing viral load assessment. For RSV load by plaque assay the LLOQ was 1.7 log10 pfu/mL.
SecondaryViral Load Changes From Baseline (Plaque Assay Analysis)From Baseline until Day 14 (Follow-up) (Baseline; Day 1, 5 hours post-dose; Day 3, 2 hours post-dose; and Follow-up reported)Change from Baseline in RSV Load measured by Plaque Assay (RSV Infected Population)

SecondaryViral Load Time-weighted Average Changes From Baseline (Plaque Assay Analysis)From Baseline until Day 14 (Follow-up) (Baseline, Day 3, and Follow-up reported)
The time-weighted average change from baseline to Day x was defined as (AUCx - x\* viral load at baseline) /x, where AUCx denotes the AUC between baseline and Day x. For subjects who only had data up to Day t (t\<x), the endpoint was defined as (AUCt - t\*viral load at baseline) / t.
SecondaryViral Load Time-weighted Average Changes From Baseline (RT-qPCR Analysis)From Baseline until Day 14 (Follow-up) (Baseline, Day 3, and Follow-up reported)
The time-weighted average change from baseline to Day x was defined as (AUCx - x\* viral load at baseline) /x, where AUCx denotes the AUC between baseline and Day x. For subjects who only had data up to Day t (t\<x), the endpoint was defined as (AUCt - t\*viral load at baseline) / t.
SecondaryImmunogenicity; Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Anti-drug AntibodiesOverall Study Period (i.e., approximately 28 days)
The number of subjects with treatment-emergent (TE) anti-drug antibodies (ADA; TE ADA) based on ADA assay by treatment group for the Safety Population. Blood samples for immunogenicity assessments were collected at Baseline and on Day 14. Immunogenicity data were analyzed using the Safety Population. This population differs from the ITT and mITT Populations as 2 subjects who were originally randomized to placebo, received active treatment once; one subject received ALX-0171 6.0 mg/kg and one subject ALX-0171 9.0 mg/kg.
