3.5x10^3 Copies - Secretor Positive
Single dose (3.5x10\^3 copies) of norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3 inoculum (with 60 mL of a 2% sodium bicarbonate before and after inoculum administration) will be given orally to subjects with functional FUT-2 gene (secretor positive), on Day 1 Norovirus GII.4 Challenge Pool: Subjects will be NPO (nothing by mouth) for at least 90 minutes followed by ingestion of 60 mL of a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution by mouth. 2 minutes later, subjects will be administered Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3. Five minutes following administration of the challenge dose, subjects will be administered a 60 mL volume of a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution and then remain NPO for at least the next 90 minutes. Subjects will be observed during the 60 minutes after receipt of the challenge by a study team member to detect and treat any immediate adverse reactions.
3.5x10^4 Copies - Secretor Positive

Population: Modified Intention-to-Treat Population: The mITT population includes all participants who received the challenge study product and contributed both pre- and at least one post-challenge sample during the inpatient period for which a conclusion can be made regarding illness and infectivity.

Illness is defined as norovirus infection, determined by a positive PCR, and either a) = 3 loose or liquid stools in a 24-hour period, b) = 300 gm of loose or liquid stool in a 24-hour period, and/or c) any episode of vomiting.

Systemic solicited adverse events were collected pre-challenge, post-challenge, and via memory aid through 5 days after discharge from the isolation facility and graded on a scale of 0 (absent), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe).

An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization (excluding any extended stay during challenge admission due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, etc.), a persistent or significant incapacity of substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalizations may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment they may jeopardize the patient or participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

ICH E6 defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of its causal relationship to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of medicinal (investigational) product. The FDA defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related.

Population: Modified Intention-to-Treat Population: The mITT population includes all participants who received the challenge study product and contributed both pre- and at least one post-challenge sample during the inpatient period for which a conclusion can be made regarding illness and infectivity.

The score is made up of the following components: duration of diarrhea (days), maximum number of diarrheal stools per 24 hours, duration of vomiting (days), maximum number of vomiting episodes per 24 hours, fever, and dehydration. Each of the components will be assigned a point value and the points will be summed to create a total score out of a possible 17 for each participant, with 17 being the worst outcome, and 0 being a better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through Day 5

Population: Modified Intention-to-Treat Population: The mITT population includes all participants who received the challenge study product and contributed both pre- and at least one post-challenge sample during the inpatient period for which a conclusion can be made regarding illness and infectivity. Participants included only experienced diarrhea and/or vomiting.

The duration of diarrhea will be calculated for participants who had at least three stools classified as having loose or watery consistency, or who have at least two stools classified as having loose or watery consistency with \> 300 gm of loose or watery stools in a study day (from 00:00 to 23:59). The duration will be calculated as the interval between the first time a loose/watery stool is produced on a day the participant met the criteria for diarrhea through the last loose/watery stool on a day the participant met the criteria for diarrhea. The duration of vomiting during the inpatient period will be calculated for participants who had at least two episodes of vomiting in a study day or over two consecutive days. The duration of diarrhea and/or vomiting will be calculated beginning from the first diarrheal stool or episode of vomiting until the last diarrheal stool or episode of vomiting during the inpatient period.
