ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With First Occurrence of Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-Confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Mediated Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD)From Baseline (Day 1) up to 12 months
Number of participants with first occurrence of RT-PCR-confirmed RSV mediated LRTD according to protocol defined criteria were reported. A participant was considered to have RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated LRTD if the following criteria were met: new onset or worsening from baseline of 3 or more of the symptoms as captured on the respiratory infection intensity and impact questionnaire (RiiQ, version 2) at the same assessment time point: cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm (sputum), and wheezing and confirmation of RSV by RT-PCR in one or more of the nasal swabs, or in the sputum sample. RiiQ symptom scale was a 13-item questionnaire rated on a 4-point scale. Each symptom was rated on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, and 3=Severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. The total LRTD symptom score was calculated as the mean of the 4 lower respiratory scores (cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm \[sputum\] and wheezing).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With First Occurrence of Any RT-PCR-Confirmed RSV-mediated Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI)From Baseline (Day 1) up to 12 months
A participant was considered to have RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated ARI if the following protocol defined criteria were met: ARI episode initiated by the participant and confirmed by the site with symptoms consistent with an ARI (new symptoms or worsening from baseline of at least one of the symptoms as captured on the RiiQ): sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm (sputum), wheezing and confirmation of RSV by RT-PCR in one or more of the nasal swabs, or in the sputum sample. RiiQ symptom scale was a 13-items questionnaire rated on a 4-point scale. Each symptom was rated on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, and 3=Severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. The total ARI symptom score was calculated as the mean of the 4 lower respiratory scores (cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm \[sputum\] and wheezing).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With First Occurrence of RT-PCR-Confirmed RSV Mediated LRTD During the Second YearFrom Month 12 up to Month 24
Number of participants with first occurrence of any RT-PCR-confirmed RSV mediated LRTD during the second year were reported. A participant was considered to have RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated LRTD if the following criteria were met: new onset or worsening from baseline of 3 or more of the symptoms as captured on the RiiQ, version 2 at the same assessment time point: cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm (sputum), and wheezing and confirmation of RSV by RT-PCR in one or more of the nasal swabs, or in the sputum sample. RiiQ symptom scale was a 13-items questionnaire rated on a 4-point scale. Each symptom was rated on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, and 3=Severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. The total LRTD symptom score was calculated as the mean of the 4 lower respiratory scores (cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm \[sputum\] and wheezing).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With First Occurrence of Any RT-PCR-Confirmed RSV Mediated ARI During the Second YearFrom Month 12 up to Month 24
A participant was considered to have RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated ARI according to protocol defined criteria were reported. A participant was considered to have RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated ARI if the following criteria were met: ARI episode initiated by the participant and confirmed by the site with symptoms consistent with an ARI (new symptoms or worsening from baseline of at least one of the symptoms as captured on the RiiQ): sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm (sputum), wheezing and confirmation of RSV by RT-PCR in one or more of the nasal swabs, or in the sputum sample. RiiQ symptom scale was a 13-items questionnaire rated on a 4-point scale. Each symptom was rated on a scale of 0 to 3 where 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, and 3=Severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. The total ARI symptom score was calculated as the mean of the 4 lower respiratory scores (cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm \[sputum\] and wheezing).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With First Occurrence of Predefined Clinically Relevant Disease Associated With RT-PCR-Confirmed RSV-Mediated ARI Over the Whole StudyBaseline (Day 1) up to 24 months
A participant was considered to have clinically relevant disease with specific parameters associated with an RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated ARI if the following criteria were met: the participant had an RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-mediated ARI: ARI episode initiated by the participant and confirmed by the site with symptoms consistent with an ARI (new symptoms or worsening from baseline of at least one of the symptoms as captured on the RiiQ): sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, short of breath, coughing up phlegm (sputum), wheezing and confirmation of RSV by RT-PCR in one or more of the nasal swabs, or in the sputum sample; any of the following associated with ARI: hospitalization, emergency department visit, per clinical judgement of complications, decreased oxygen saturation, tachypnea, need of supplemental oxygen, hypotension, pulmonary function test and arterial blood gas result.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)28 days post vaccination on Day 1 (Day 29); First year follow-up (from Day 29 up to 6 months, that is, up to Day 154)
Number of participants with SAEs were reported. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may result in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Potential Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)28 days post vaccination on Day 1 (Day 29); First year follow-up (from Day 29 up to 6 months, that is, up to Day 154)
Number of participants with potential AESIs were reported. AESIs were significant AEs that were judged to be of special interest because of clinical importance, known or suspected class effects, or based on nonclinical signals. AESIs were embolic and thrombotic events, hematopoietic thrombocytopenia, and cerebral hemorrhage.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) up to 7 Days After VaccinationUp to Day 7 post vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 8)
Number of participants with solicited local AEs 7 days post vaccination were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. Solicited local AEs were precisely defined events that participants were specifically asked about and which were noted by participants in the diary. Solicited local AEs included erythema, swelling, and pain/tenderness at the study vaccine injection site, were used to assess the reactogenicity of the study vaccine and were pre-defined local (injection site). All solicited AEs at the injection site (local) were considered related to the study vaccine administration.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs up to 7 Days After VaccinationUp to Day 7 post vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 8)
Number of participants with solicited systemic AEs 7 days post vaccination were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. Solicited systemic AEs included fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea, pyrexia, for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their participant diary for 7 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Unsolicited AEs up to 28 Days After VaccinationUp to 28 days post vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 29)
Number of participants with unsolicited AEs 28 days post vaccination were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. Unsolicited adverse events included all adverse events for which the participant was not specifically questioned in the subject diary.
