Study summary

Clesrovimab is an FDA-approved antibody drug recommended for infants younger than 8 months who are entering their first respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season and whose mothers did not receive an RSV vaccine during pregnancy. It is given to help prevent severe RSV illness. This study will measure clesrovimab and other RSV antibodies in infants' blood and noses to learn how much of the drug reaches the nose, how long the antibodies remain, and how antibody levels change if an infant becomes infected with RSV.

Read the detailed description

The study will enroll 24 infants younger than 8 months who are entering their first RSV season. The study includes minors and may include newborn infants. Written permission will be obtained from a parent or legally authorized representative before any study procedures occur. Infant assent will not be obtained because the participants are too young to provide it.

Each infant will receive one injection of clesrovimab as part of the usual care recommended to prevent serious RSV illness. Study staff will collect blood and nasal samples before the injection, at either Day 8 or Day 45, and at Day 181 after injection. Parent or legally authorized representative will also complete one safety follow-up visit by phone call at either Day 8 or Day 45.

Each infant will participate for about six months after receiving clesrovimab. Recruitment will invite families of eligible infants through the Emory Children's Center-Vaccine Research Clinic (ECC-VRC), Emory and community outreach, healthcare clinics, electronic health record messages, advertisements, and approved online recruitment methods.

Blood, nasal samples, and study data will be stored for the planned study tests. Remaining samples will be stored without information that directly identifies the infant, such as the infant's name or date of birth (de-identified), until the planned tests are complete and the study is closed. They will not be stored for unrelated future research. Study records will be kept as required by Emory, the study sponsor, and applicable rules.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. An infant who is \<8 months of age at the time of immunization and born during or entering their first respiratory season.
  2. The infant is in good health as established by medical history and investigator's discretion before entering the study. Chronic medical conditions are acceptable, provided that they are stable.
  3. Written is obtained from the participant's parent(s)/legally authorized representative(s) (LAR) prior to performing any study specific procedures, including screening evaluations.
  4. At least one parent/legally authorized representative of the subject is willing and able to maintain communication with the study site for the duration of the study.
  5. Subject's parent(s)/legally authorized representative(s) is able to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol including follow-up and illness visits as judged by the investigator.
  6. Subject is available to complete the follow-up period, which will be approximately 6 months after receipt of the dose of study drug.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any fever (≥ 100.4°F [≥ 38.0°C], regardless of route) or acute illness within 3 days prior to enrollment.
  2. Any current or expected receipt of agents including systemic (except for the use of topical steroids according to the judgment of the investigator).
  3. Known immunodeficiency, including (HIV).
  4. Any known allergy or to immunoglobulin products.
  5. Hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or seizures within 72 hours after any previous administration of a vaccine.
  6. Receipt of polyclonal antibodies and/or plasma at any time prior to or planned during the study follow-up period.
  7. Receipt of palivizumab, nirsevimab, or other RSV monoclonal antibody or any RSV vaccine at any time prior to or planned during the study.
  8. Maternal receipt of an RSV vaccine during her pregnancy with the infant participant.
  9. Use of any product or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study product during the period starting 30 days before study product administration, or planned use during the study period.
  10. Concurrent enrollment in another interventional study.
  11. Any other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would be a risk to subject's safety and/or may interfere with study procedures or interpretation of results.
  12. Unable to obtain baseline blood (minimum 0.5 mL) or nasal sample.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of serum RSV pre-fusion (preF) binding IgG antibodies

    RSV pre-fusion (preF) IgG binding antibodies in serum specimens will be quantified. Assay results will be reported as concentrations (arbitrary units per milliliter, AU/mL) derived from a calibrated standard curve. Serum RSV preF IgG concentrations will be summarized as geometric mean concentrations (GMC) at each study timepoint.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), assigned early follow-up timepoint (Day 8 or Day 45) and Day 181

  2. Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of nasal RSV pre-fusion (preF) binding IgG antibodies

    RSV pre-fusion (preF) IgG binding antibodies in nasal specimens will be quantified. Assay results will be reported as concentrations (arbitrary units per milliliter, AU/mL) derived from a calibrated standard curve. For nasal specimens, RSV preF IgG concentrations will be normalized to total human IgG concentration. Normalized nasal antibody values will be summarized as GMC.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), assigned early follow-up timepoint (Day 8 or Day 45) and Day 181

  3. Geometric mean titers (GMT) of serum RSV-A neutralizing antibodies

    Serum RSV neutralizing antibody titers will be measured using a microneutralization assay. Neutralizing antibody titers will be reported as reciprocal dilution EC50 titers (the serum dilution resulting in 50% neutralization) and summarized as geometric mean titers (GMTs).

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), assigned early follow-up timepoint (Day 8 or Day 45) and Day 181

Secondary outcomes

  1. Serum Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of clesrovimab

    Serum clesrovimab concentrations will be reported in concentration units and summarized as geometric mean concentrations (GMC) at each study timepoint.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), assigned early follow-up timepoint (Day 8 or Day 45) and Day 181

  2. Urea-normalized GMC of clesrovimab in the nasal mucosa

    Clesrovimab concentrations will be normalized to urea concentration for nasal samples to account for variability in epithelial lining fluid dilution. Urea-normalized nasal clesrovimab concentrations will be summarized as GMC.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), assigned early follow-up timepoint (Day 8 or Day 45) and Day 181

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
