RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The safety of the monoclonal antibody nirsevimab and the effect of nirsevimab on hospitalizations for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower respiratory tract infection when administered in healthy infants are unclear. METHODS: In a pragmatic trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, infants who were 12 months of age or younger, had been born at a gestational age of at least 29 weeks, and were entering their first RSV season in France, Germany, or the United Kingdom to receive either a single intramuscular injection of nirsevimab or standard care (no intervention) before or during the RSV season. The primary end point was hospitalization for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection, defined as hospital admission and an RSV-positive test result. A key secondary end point was very severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection, defined as hospitalization for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection with an oxygen saturation of less than 90% and the need for supplemental oxygen. RESULTS: A total of 8058 infants were randomly assigned to receive nirsevimab (4037 infants) or standard care (4021 infants). Eleven infants (0.3%) in the nirsevimab group and 60 (1.5%) in the standard-care group were hospitalized for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection, which corresponded to a nirsevimab efficacy of 83.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 67.8 to 92.0; P<0.001). Very severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection occurred in 5 infants (0.1%) in the nirsevimab group and in 19 (0.5%) in the standard-care group, which represented a nirsevimab efficacy of 75.7% (95% CI, 32.8 to 92.9; P = 0.004). The efficacy of nirsevimab against hospitalization for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection was 89.6% (adjusted 95% CI, 58.8 to 98.7; multiplicity-adjusted P<0.001) in France, 74.2% (adjusted 95% CI, 27.9 to 92.5; multiplicity-adjusted P = 0.006) in Germany, and 83.4% (adjusted 95% CI, 34.3 to 97.6; multiplicity-adjusted P = 0.003) in the United Kingdom. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 86 infants (2.1%) in the nirsevimab group. CONCLUSIONS: Nirsevimab protected infants against hospitalization for RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection and against very severe RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection in conditions that approximated real-world settings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The European Medicines Agency (EMA) requires enhanced safety surveillance to be conducted for annual seasonal influenza vaccines with the aim of rapidly detecting any potential new safety concerns before the peak immunisation period of the vaccine in any given year. The aim of this study was to detect any clinically significant change in the frequency or severity of expected reactogenicity of the quadrivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccine (IIV4) during routine immunisation in Finland for the 2020/21 season. The primary objective was to investigate the frequency of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurring within 7 days following vaccination. METHODS: Enhanced passive safety surveillance of individuals vaccinated with IIV4 was conducted from October 9, 2020 to November 30, 2020 across seven sites in Finland. The vaccinee reporting rate and ADR reporting rate were calculated and compared with known or expected safety data in order to identify any clinically significant changes. RESULTS: Data were collected from 1008 individuals with 29 vaccinees reporting 82 suspected ADRs. Of these, 28 people reported 79 suspected ADRs within 7 days following vaccination, corresponding to a vaccinee reporting rate of 2.78% (95% CI: 1.85, 3.99) (ADR reporting rate, 7.84% [95% CI: 6.25, 9.67%]). The most frequently reported ADRs were injection site reactions (vaccination site pain, vaccination site erythema and vaccination site swelling) (n = 46, 2.28%), myalgia (n = 9, 0.89%) and headache (n = 8, 0.79%). No serious suspected adverse events were reported at any point post-vaccination and ADR reporting rates were in general lower compared to those reported for IIV4 in the 2019/20 surveillance study. CONCLUSION: No clinically significant changes in what is known or expected for IIV4 were reported for the 2020/21 season which supports the safety profile of this vaccine and will help maintain public confidence in influenza vaccination.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance is a requirement of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for seasonal influenza vaccines, aiming to rapidly detect any significant change in frequency or severity of expected reactogenicity or allergic events prior to widespread use of a vaccine in any particular year. The aim of this surveillance was to assess the quadrivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccine (IIV4) during routine immunization in Finland, as per the national immunization program for 2019/20. The primary objective was to investigate the suspected adverse drug reactions (ADR) occurring within 7 days following vaccination. METHODS: Passive surveillance of individuals vaccinated with IIV4 was conducted within the first 4 to 6 weeks of the influenza season in Finland. Potential ADRs were reported via phone or posted adverse event forms. The vaccinee reporting rate and ADR reporting rate were calculated and compared with the known or expected safety data in order to identify any change which was clinically significant. RESULTS: Data were collected from 939 individuals, with 56 reports received for 163 suspected ADRs. Of these, 38 individuals reported 117 suspected ADRs within 7 days following vaccination, corresponding to an ADR reporting rate of 12.46% (95% CI: 10.41, 14.74%); vaccination-site pain, vaccination-site reaction, and pyrexia were the most frequently reported ADRs. The 18-to-65 years of age category had an ADR reporting rate of 12.56%, the over-65 years of age category had an ADR reporting rate of 16.22%, and no ADRs were reported for individuals aged 6 months to 18 years. No serious suspected ADRs were reported at any time post-vaccination, and the ADR rates were comparable to those reported for IIV4 in the 2018/19 seasonal assessment. The frequency of suspected ADRs was generally aligned with those reported in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), with the exception of asthenia, somnolence, and erythema, which were slightly higher. No reporting pattern by type, frequency, or severity was identified for the suspected ADRs. CONCLUSIONS: No clinically significant changes in what is known or expected for IIV4 was reported for the 2019/20 season, which supports the overall safety profile.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Enhanced passive safety surveillance (EPSS) was conducted for quadrivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccines (IIV4) in Germany (high dose [HD], aged ≥60 years) and in Finland (standard dose [SD], aged ≥6 months) at the beginning of the northern hemisphere 2021/22 influenza season. The primary objective was to assess adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurring ≤7 days post-vaccination. METHODS: Vaccinees were issued vaccination cards (VC) and were encouraged to report ADRs via an electronic data collection system or by telephone. ADRs were assessed by frequency, time to onset, intensity and by age group. The vaccinee reporting rate (RR) was calculated as the number of vaccinees reporting ≥1 ADR divided by total vaccinees. Reactogenicity was compared with previous experiences with each vaccine. RESULTS: Among 903 HD-IIV4 vaccinees in Germany, 17 reported ≥1 ADR within ≤7 days post-vaccination: RR, 1.88% (95% CI: 1.10, 3.00). Time to onset was known for 53/65 ADRs, all of which occurred ≤7 days post-vaccination. In Germany, seven ADRs were reported that were not listed previously. Among the 1000 SD-IIV4 vaccinees in Finland, 49 reported ≥1 ADR within ≤7 days post-vaccination: RR, 4.90% (95% CI: 3.65, 6.43). Time to onset was known for 126/134 ADRs, of which 125 occurred ≤7 days post-vaccination. In Finland, 21 ADRs were reported that were not listed previously. No ADRs reported during follow-up were serious. CONCLUSIONS: The EPSS for HD-IIV4 and for SD-IIV4 in the 2021/22 influenza season did not suggest any clinically relevant changes in safety beyond what is known/expected for IIV4s.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Concomitant seasonal influenza vaccination with a COVID-19 vaccine booster could help to minimise potential disruption to the seasonal influenza vaccination campaign and maximise protection against both diseases among individuals at risk of severe disease and hospitalisation. This study aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of concomitant administration of high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV-HD) and a mRNA-1273 vaccine booster dose in older adults. METHODS: This study is an ongoing, phase 2, multicentre, open-label, descriptive trial at six clinical research sites in the USA. We describe the interim results up to 21 days after vaccination (July-August, 2021). Community-dwelling adults aged 65 years and older, who were previously vaccinated with a two-dose primary schedule of the mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, were eligible for inclusion. The second dose of the primary mRNA-1273 vaccination series was required to have been received at least 5 months before enrolment in the study. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1) using a permuted block method stratified by site and by age group (<75 years vs ≥75 years), to receive concomitant administration of QIV-HD and mRNA-1273 vaccine, QIV-HD alone, or mRNA-1273 vaccine alone. Randomisation lists, generated by Sanofi Pasteur biostatistics platform, were provided to study investigators for study group allocation. Unsolicited adverse events occurring immediately, solicited local and systemic reactions up to day 8, and unsolicited adverse events, serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and medically attended adverse events up to day 22 were reported. Haemagglutination inhibition antibody responses to influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Yamagata, and B/Victoria strains and SARS CoV-2 binding antibody responses (SARS-CoV-2 pre-spike IgG ELISA) were assessed at day 1 and day 22. All analyses were descriptive. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04969276. FINDINGS: Between July 16 and Aug 31, 2021, 306 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned, of whom 296 received at least one vaccine dose (100 in the coadministration group, 92 in the QIV-HD, and 104 in the mRNA-1273 group). Reactogenicity profiles were similar between the coadministration and mRNA-1273 groups, with lower reactogenicity rates in the QIV-HD group (frequency of solicited injection site reactions 86·0% [95% CI 77·6-92·1], 91·3% [84·2-96·0], and 61·8% [50·9-71·9]; frequency of solicited systemic reactions 80·0%, [70·8-87·3], 83·7% [75·1-90·2], and 49·4% [38·7-60·2], respectively). Up to day 22, unsolicited adverse events were reported for 17·0% (95% CI 10·2-25·8) of participants in the coadministration group and 14·4% (8·3-22·7) of participants in the mRNA-1273 group, and tended to be reported at a slightly lower rate (10·9% [5·3-19·1]) in participants in the QIV-HD group. Seven participants each reported one medically attended adverse event (three in the coadministration group, one in the QIV-HD group, and three in the mRNA-1273 group). There were no serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, or deaths. Haemagglutination inhibition antibody geometric mean titres increased from day 1 to day 22 to similar levels in the coadministration and QIV-HD groups, for each influenza strain (A/H1N1: 363 [95% CI 276-476] vs 366 [272-491]; A/H3N2: 286 [233-352] vs 315 [257-386]; B/Yamagata: 429 [350-525] vs 471 [378-588]; B/Victoria: 377 [325-438] vs 390 [327-465] for the coadministration and QIV-HD groups, respectively). SARS-CoV-2 binding antibody geometric mean concentrations also increased to similar levels in the coadministration and mRNA-1273 groups at day 22 (7634 [95% CI 6445-9042] and 7904 [6883-9077], respectively). INTERPRETATION: No safety concerns or immune interference were observed for concomitant administration of QIV-HD with mRNA-1273 booster in adults aged 65 years and older, supporting co-administration recommendations.

RESUMO

The European Medicines Agency requires Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance (EPSS) for all seasonal influenza vaccines. Here, we report the EPSS results for the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3; Vaxigrip®) and the quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4; VaxigripTetraTM) during the 2018/19 influenza season in Denmark and Finland. The primary objective was to estimate the rates of suspected adverse reactions (ARs) occurring within 7 days following routine vaccination. Between October and November 2018, 1000 safety report cards (SRCs) for IIV3 were distributed in Denmark, and 996 SRCs for IIV4 were distributed in Finland. Participants were instructed to report any ARs by telephone or e-mail using the information provided on the SRC. All participants vaccinated with IIV3 were aged ≥18 years. Most participants vaccinated with IIV4 (95.5%) were aged 18 - 65 years, 2.2% were aged 6 months to 17 years, and 2.3% were aged >65 years. Fifty-five ARs were reported by 12 participants (1.2%) vaccinated with IIV3 and 162 ARs were reported by 53 participants (5.3%) vaccinated with IIV4. The most frequent ARs were vaccination site pain and fever for IIV3, and vaccination site pain, vaccination site inflammation, myalgia, and headache for IIV4. The 2018/19 AR rates for IIV3 were comparable to 2017/18 rates. The 2018/19 AR rates for IIV4 were higher than those in 2017/18 but were still lower than the expected AR rates listed in the IIV4 Summary of Product Characteristics. In conclusion, the 2018/19 EPSS showed no clinically significant change from the expected safety profiles of IIV3 and IIV4 vaccines.
