New RSV vaccine trial offers hope for transplant patients

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants of the RSV OA=ADJ-023 study from the Per Protocol Set (Visit 3 for participants in IC\_1 and Visit 4 for participants in IC\_2 group), who received either 1 or 2 doses of the adjuvanted RSVPreF3 vaccine and for whom the immunogenicity data are available. * Participants who, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., completion of the paper diary cards (as applicable), return for follow-up visits, ability to access and utilize a phone or other electronic communications, have regular contact to allow evaluation during the study). * Written or witnessed informed consent obtained from the participant prior to performance of any study-specific procedure. * Female participants of nonchildbearing potential may be enrolled in the study. Non childbearing potential is defined as hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and post-menopause. * Female participants of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if the participant: * has practiced adequate contraception from 1 month prior to study intervention administration, and * agreed to continue adequate contraception until 1 month after study intervention, and * has a negative pregnancy test on the day of and prior to study intervention administration. * Participant who has received an ABO compatible allogeneic kidney or lung transplant (allograft) more than 12 months (365 days) prior to the study intervention administration. * Participant receiving maintenance immunosuppressive therapy for the prevention of allograft rejection. Specific inclusion criteria for kidney transplant (KTx) patients • Participant with stable kidney function, stability defined as less than 20% variability between last two results of eGFR or in the opinion of the investigator after investigator review of more than the last two results of eGFRs and based on medical history. Specific inclusion criteria for lung transplant (LTx) patients • Participant with stable lung function, with stability defined as the stability in the FEV1 compared to post-transplant baseline FEV1 and based on medical history of the last 3 months, in the opinion of the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: Medical conditions * Any history of dementia or any medical condition that moderately or severely impairs cognition. * Significant underlying illness that in the opinion of the investigator would be expected to prevent completion of the study (e.g., life-threatening disease likely to limit survival up to study end). * History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study intervention * Acute or chronic clinically significant cardiovascular or hepatic functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests. * Recurrent or uncontrolled neurological disorders or seizures. Participants with medically controlled chronic neurological diseases can be enrolled in the study as per investigator assessment, provided that their condition will allow them to comply with the requirements of the protocol. * Any condition which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make IM injection unsafe. * Any other clinical condition that might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the clinical study. Prior/Concomitant therapy * Vaccination with RSV-antigen containing vaccine after 1 or 2 doses received in the RSV OA=ADJ-023 study. * Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine, or medical device) other than the study intervention administration during the period beginning 30 days before the study intervention administration (Day -30 to Day 1), or their planned use during the study period (up to Month 12). * Planned or actual administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol in the period starting 30 days before the study intervention administration and ending 30 days after the study intervention administration\*. In the case of COVID-19 and inactivated/subunit/split influenza vaccines, this time window can be decreased to 14 days before and after study intervention administration. * If emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat (e.g., a pandemic) is recommended and/or organized by the public health authorities outside the routine immunization program, the time period of 30 days described above can be reduced, if necessary for that vaccine, provided it is used according to the local governmental recommendations and that the Sponsor is notified. Prior/Concurrent clinical study experience • Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational intervention (drug/invasive medical device). Other exclusion criteria * History of chronic alcohol consumption and/or drug abuse as deemed by the investigator to render the potential participant unable/unlikely to provide accurate safety reports or comply with study procedures. * Any study personnel or their immediate dependents, family, or household members. * Planned move during the study period that will prohibit participating in the study until study end. * Pregnant or lactating female participant. * Female participant planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions. * More than one organ transplanted (i.e., kidney-liver or kidney-other organ(s) transplanted). Dual organ is allowed (double kidney or double lung). * History of events that, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the participant at increased risk for chronic allograft dysfunction. * Participant with an episode of allograft rejection within 3 months (90 days) prior to Visit 1. * Histologic evidence of chronic allograft injury. * Active treatment for acute rejection. * Current diagnosis of malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer that does not require systemic therapy). * Any autoimmune conditions or pIMDs that in the opinion of the investigator may put the participant at increased risk. * Any confirmed or suspected HIV infection or primary immunodeficiency disease or ongoing CMV infection with a viremia \> 200 IU/mL. * Use of anti-CD20 or other B-cell monoclonal antibody agents (e.g., rituximab) as induction, maintenance and/or therapeutic immunosuppressive therapy for the prevention of allograft rejection within 9 months (274 days) prior to Visit 1. * Use of investigational and non-registered immunosuppressants at the local/country level, unless specifically prescribed for the prevention of allograft rejection, and which are non-registered and: * available locally through compassionate use programs, * submitted for and pending local/country registration, * approved and registered for use in other countries with well-documented SmPC or Prescribing Information. The name of the active component(s) of these immunosuppressants must be provided in the concomitant medication listing. * Evidence or high suspicion, in the opinion of the investigator, of noncompliance or nonadherence to use of induction and/or maintenance immunosuppressive therapies. * Any clinically significant (based on the Investigator's clinical judgement) hematologic (hemoglobin level, white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, platelet red blood cell count and erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume) and/or biochemical (ALT, AST, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) laboratory abnormality. Specific exclusion criteria for KTx patients: * Previous allograft loss secondary to recurrent primary kidney disease. Multiple consecutive kidney transplants are allowed if the reason for a previous allograft loss is not recurrent primary kidney disease. * Evidence of significant proteinuria/albuminuria in the opinion of the investigator. Specific exclusion criteria for LTx patients: * At study intervention administration visit, diagnosis of documented acute pulmonary infection within the 2 prior weeks, based on the following: clinical, radiological, and/or physiological deterioration; OR isolation of an organism from a clinically relevant BAL fluid culture. * Patients with diagnosis of chronic lung allograft dysfunction, defined as a decrement of 20% or more in FEV1 compared to post-transplant baseline FEV1.
