The primary and secondary objectives and end points to RSV001

End point measures
Primary objective: vaccine safety and tolerabilitySolicited and unsolicited symptoms recorded daily for 1 week after each vaccine doseOral temperature
Solicited symptoms: headache, nausea and/or vomiting, malaise, myalgia and arthralgia
Local injection site adverse events: pain and/or tenderness, erythema, induration and swelling
Local nasal site adverse events: pain and/or tenderness, irritation and discharge
Any other event not listed above (unsolicited symptoms)
Nursing observations obtained at all visit attendancesResting heart rate, resting respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and oral temperature
Safety bloods obtained at scheduled visit attendancesHaematology: haemoglobin, total white cell count, platelet count, haematocrit, red cell count, mean cell volume, mean haemoglobin, mean haemoglobin concentration, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, eosinophil count and basophil count
Biochemistry: sodium, potassium, urea, amylase, C reactive protein, creatinine, bilirubin, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and albumin
Secondary objective: vaccine immunogenicityAntibody response to vaccinationSerum antibody response to RSV F antigen
Serum antibody response capable of RSV neutralisation
Cellular immune response to vaccinationQuantification of circulating vaccine-induced antibody secreting B-cells (IgA and IgG) against RSV F antigen
Quantification of circulating vaccine-induced T-cell responses against RSV antigens F, N and M2–1
Exploratory immunologyNasal and salivary antibody response to vaccination
CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subset response to vaccination
Cytokine response to vaccination
Gene expression changes after vaccination
Any further exploratory immunology to detect vaccine-related immune responses
  • RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.
