Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of JNJ-53718678 in Adult and Adolescent Participants Who Had a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Who Are Infected With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) (NCT NCT04056611)

NCT ID: NCT04056611

Last Updated: 2025-02-04

Results Overview

Percentage of participants who developed RSV LRTI was assessed. RSV LRTI was defined as the development of a lower respiratory sign or symptom (including decrease in oxygen saturation or increase in supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation, wheezing, rhonchi, rales, dyspnea, tachypnea, worsening cough) and positive RSV test from lower respiratory tract sample (example \[eg\], sputum, induced sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), lung biopsy, or autopsy specimen) within +-4 days of a new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with a LRTI; OR positive RSV test from lower respiratory tract sample (eg, sputum, induced sputum, BAL, lung biopsy, or autopsy specimen) only; OR positive RSV test from upper respiratory tract sample within ±4 days of a new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with a RSV LRTI as determined by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC).

Participant Flow

Participants were randomized to receive either rilematovir or placebo. The dose was dependent upon coadministration without/with CYP3A4 inhibitors or posaconazole. Due to the limited participants randomized and due to chance, no participants were randomized to placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to Day 28

Population: Efficacy analysis set included all participants who were randomized, treated (took at least 1 dose), and had a RSV infection confirmed by central laboratory analysis, excluding participants infected with a co-pathogen at baseline not identified during screening, analyzed as randomized.

Percentage of participants who developed RSV LRTI was assessed. RSV LRTI was defined as the development of a lower respiratory sign or symptom (including decrease in oxygen saturation or increase in supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation, wheezing, rhonchi, rales, dyspnea, tachypnea, worsening cough) and positive RSV test from lower respiratory tract sample (example \[eg\], sputum, induced sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), lung biopsy, or autopsy specimen) within +-4 days of a new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with a LRTI; OR positive RSV test from lower respiratory tract sample (eg, sputum, induced sputum, BAL, lung biopsy, or autopsy specimen) only; OR positive RSV test from upper respiratory tract sample within ±4 days of a new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with a RSV LRTI as determined by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC).

RSV-associated LRTC defined as development of lower respiratory sign/symptom (includes decrease in oxygen saturation/increase in supplemental oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation, wheezing, rhonchi, rales, dyspnea, tachypnea, and worsening cough) and met 1 of following subcategories determined by EAC: a) RSV LRTI, b) secondary bacterial LRTI (positive specimen for clinically significant bacterium within 4 days of new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with LRTI), c) secondary LRTI due to unusual pathogens (positive specimen for clinically significant unusual organism within 4 days of new chest image finding, compared to baseline, consistent with LRTI), d) secondary LRTC of unknown etiology (new chest image finding than baseline, consistent with LRTI, inflammatory process/ some other clinically significant pulmonary process which were absent within 4 days of new chest image finding).

Population: The safety analysis set included all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose of study intervention and were analyzed 'as treated'.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non investigational) product. An AE did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. Any AE which occurred post first dose administration of study drug up to the end of study (EOS) (that is, Day 49) was considered as treatment-emergent.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1), Days 15, 28, and 35

Population: Efficacy analysis set included all participants who were randomized, treated (took at least 1 dose), and had a RSV infection confirmed by central laboratory analysis, excluding participants infected with a co-pathogen at baseline not identified during screening, analyzed as randomized. Here, 'n' (number analyzed) represents number of participants with available data for each specified timepoint.

RSV viral load (RSV B) was measured over time by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in the nasal swab specimens collected at the clinic visits and at home. In this outcome measure, only those timepoints in which individual participant had data were reported.
