Detailed Description

This is a study of a reverse-engineered, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) grade, antiviral-sensitive, influenza A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus (A/California/04/2009/H1N1-like) infection to assess the effect of pre-existing immunity on clinical and immunological responses. Up to 80 healthy adult subjects will undergo intranasal inoculation with A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus, and their clinical manifestations, viral shedding and immunological responses will be characterized. This proposed study will establish a H1N1 influenza virus controlled human infection (CHI) model at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID)-sponsored Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEU) clinical study sites. The model has been developed and used by NIAID Division of Intramural Research. The proposed study will expand US research capacity to perform influenza CHI studies to advance the understanding of influenza pathogenesis and novel vaccine research and development. The Primary Objective for this study is to evaluate the association of symptomatic Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-positive influenza virus infection post-challenge and pre-existing Hemagglutinin Inhibition Test (HAI) antibody titers. The Secondary Objectives for this study are: 1) To describe viral recovery by quantitative RT-PCR from study subjects at baseline and post-challenge; 2) To describe serum HAI and MN antibody responses post-challenge in healthy subjects by infection status; 3) To evaluate the association of asymptomatic RT-PCR-positive influenza virus infection (viral shedding) post-challenge and pre-existing HAI antibody titers; 4) To evaluate the association of symptomatic RT-PCR-negative status post-challenge and pre-existing HAI antibody titers; 5) To determine the frequency of serious adverse events (SAE) post-challenge.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Healthy Participants Reporting Mild-to-Moderate Influenza Disease (MMID) by Baseline A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Antibody Seroprotection Status (Titer >/= 1:40 vs. Titer < 1:40) [Day 2 through Day 8]

    Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the HAI assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen. The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results, then grouped by seroprotection status (titer results >= 1:40 vs < 1:40). MMID is a composite endpoint determined by the presence of viral shedding (detected by any approved positive RT-PCR test from a NP swab), accompanied by at least one the following symptoms occurring any time from Day 2 through Day 8; body aches or pain, chest tightness, chills, conjunctivitis, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, coryza, decreased appetite, diarrhea, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, lymphopenia, nausea, a 3% or more decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline, productive cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and sweats. The percentage of participants that developed MMID was calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group.

  2. Association Between Clinical or Laboratory Manifestation of MMID and A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 HAI Antibodies in Serum at Baseline [Day 2 to Day 8]

    Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the HAI assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen.

The mean and median of the log-10 AUC and the mean and median of the log-10 peak viral load were both calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group.

  36. Magnitude of Viral Shedding in NP Swab by Baseline MN Seroprotection Status [Day 2 through Day 15]

    Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the MN assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen. The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results, then grouped by seroprotection status (titer results >= 1:40 vs < 1:40). The quantity of viral load copies/mL from NP swab was measured via quantitative RT-PCR result for each post-challenge study day. The mean of each sample's quantitative PCR replicate results was calculated from available results. Total viral shedding, as observed until study discharge, was calculated as the area under the curve (AUC), then log-10 transformed. Peak viral shedding was calculated as the maximum viral load copies/mL observed until study discharge, then log-10 transformed. The mean and median of the log-10 AUC and the mean and median of the log-10 peak viral load were both calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group.

  37. Percentage of Participants Reporting Any MMID Symptom During Challenge Period by Viral Shedding Status and Baseline HAI Seroprotection Status From Serum Measured at Baseline - RT-PCR Positive (One or More) [Day 2 through Day 8]

    Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the HAI assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen. The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results, then grouped by seroprotection status (titer results >= 1:40 vs < 1:40). The presence of any of the following symptoms was assessed from Day 2 to Day 8; body aches or pain, chest tightness, chills, conjunctivitis, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, coryza, decreased appetite, diarrhea, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, lymphopenia, nausea, a 3% or more decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline, productive cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and sweats. The percentage of participants that reported any symptom was calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group and by viral shedding status, as observed anytime from Day 2 to Day 8; RT-PCR Negative (never positive), and at least once RT-PCR Positive.

  38. Percentage of Participants Reporting Any MMID Symptom During Challenge Period by Viral Shedding Status and Baseline HAI Seroprotection Status From Serum Measured at Baseline With RT-PCR Negative (None Positive) [Day 2 through Day 8]

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Healthy Participants Reporting Mild-to-Moderate Influenza Disease (MMID) by Baseline A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Antibody Seroprotection Status (Titer >/= 1:40 vs. Titer < 1:40)
Description Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the HAI assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen. The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results, then grouped by seroprotection status (titer results >= 1:40 vs < 1:40). MMID is a composite endpoint determined by the presence of viral shedding (detected by any approved positive RT-PCR test from a NP swab), accompanied by at least one the following symptoms occurring any time from Day 2 through Day 8; body aches or pain, chest tightness, chills, conjunctivitis, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, coryza, decreased appetite, diarrhea, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, lymphopenia, nausea, a 3% or more decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline, productive cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and sweats. The percentage of participants that developed MMID was calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group.

Title Association Between Clinical or Laboratory Manifestation of MMID and A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 HAI Antibodies in Serum at Baseline
Description Blood samples were collected pre-challenge (Day -2) for the HAI assay conducted with the A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus as the antigen. The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results. MMID is a composite endpoint determined by the presence of viral shedding (detected by any approved positive RT-PCR test from a NP swab), accompanied by at least one the following symptoms occurring any time from Day 2 through Day 8; body aches or pain, chest tightness, chills, conjunctivitis, nasal congestion, sinus congestion, coryza, decreased appetite, diarrhea, dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, headache, lymphopenia, nausea, a 3% or more decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline, productive cough, rhinorrhea, sore throat, and sweats. The relationship between the level of pre-challenge HAI titer and the likelihood of developing MMID during the study challenge period (Day 2 to Day 8) was assessed via logistic regression.

The geometric mean of each sample's replicate results was calculated from available results, then grouped by seroprotection status (titer results >= 1:40 vs < 1:40). The quantity of viral load copies/mL from NP swab was measured via quantitative RT-PCR result for each post-challenge study day. The mean of each sample's quantitative PCR replicate results was calculated from available results. Total viral shedding, as observed until study discharge, was calculated as the area under the curve (AUC), then log-10 transformed. Peak viral shedding was calculated as the maximum viral load copies/mL observed until study discharge, then log-10 transformed. The mean and median of the log-10 AUC and the mean and median of the log-10 peak viral load were both calculated within each pre-challenge seroprotection status group.
