Abstract Background MenACYW-TT [MenQuadfi®] is a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, licensed for use in ages 2 years and older in USA. The vaccine is also licensed in ages 12 months and older in EU and certain other countries. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of MenACYW-TT compared to a licensed quadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY-DT [Menactra®]) in Japanese children, adolescents and adults (2-55 years of age). Methods A phase III modified double-blind, randomized study (NCT04368429) to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a single dose of MenACYW-TT versus MenACWY-DT was conducted in 360 participants (ratio 1:1) between ages 2 and 55 years in Japan. Serum bactericidal assays with human complement (hSBA) were used to measure antibodies against vaccine serogroups at baseline (Day 0) and 30 days post-vaccination (D30). Safety data were collected up to 30 days post-vaccination. Results Non-inferiority of immune responses for all four serogroups, based on percentages of participants achieving hSBA vaccine seroresponse as primary endpoint, was demonstrated for MenACYW-TT compared to MenACWY-DT at Day 30 in comparison to baseline: 85.6% vs 65.4% for serogroup A, 96.6% vs 62.6% for serogroup C, 87.4% vs 49.2% for serogroup W, and 97.7% vs 63.5% for serogroup Y. The proportions of individuals with hSBA titers ≥ 1:8 following MenACYW-TT administration were higher than those after MenACWY-DT administration for serogroups C (98.9% vs 81.0%), W (99.4% vs 91.1%) and Y (100 % vs 89.4%) and comparable for serogroup A (96.6% vs 92.7%). The hSBA GMTs were higher following administration of MenACYW-TT for all four serogroups. Immunogenicity results in participants 10 to 17 years of age and ≥ 18 years of age were comparable to those in the whole population (2-55 years). The safety profiles of MenACYW-TT and MenACWY-DT were comparable. There were no immediate adverse events (AEs), no AEs leading to study discontinuation, and no vaccine-related serious adverse events reported in the study. Conclusion MenACYW-TT vaccine was well tolerated and demonstrated a non-inferior immune response compared to that for the licensed MenACWY-DT vaccine when administered as a single dose to meningococcal vaccine-naïve children, adolescents, and adults in Japan.

Abstract Background The MenACYW-TT conjugate vaccine is a quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine that contains tetanus toxoid as carrier protein. The vaccine is intended for global use in all age groups (i.e., individuals 6 weeks of age and older). This Phase III study evaluated the immune lot consistency, and safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine when compared with a licensed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine in individuals 10–55 years of age. Methods A randomized, modified double-blind, multi-center study (NCT02842853) was conducted in the United States. The study evaluated 3344 meningococcal vaccine naïve adolescents and adults, who were randomly assigned to receive either a single dose of one of the three lots of MenACYW-TT conjugate vaccine or single dose of Menactra® [MenACWY-D]. Serum bactericidal assay with human complement (hSBA) and rabbit complement (rSBA) was used to measure antibodies against serogroups A, C, W, and Y at baseline before vaccination (Day 0) and 30 days post-vaccination. Safety data were collected up to 6 months post-vaccination. Herein we report the performance of MenACYW-TT in adults 18 through 55 years of age (n = 1,807). Results Immune equivalence was demonstrated across all 3 lots of MenACYW-TT conjugate vaccine based on geometric mean titers (GMTs) for all serogroups. Non-inferiority of immune responses, based on percentages of participants achieving hSBA vaccine seroresponse, was demonstrated between MenACYW-TT and MenACWY-D for all four serogroups at Day 30 compared with baseline. The proportions of individuals (18–55 years) with hSBA ≥ 1:8 following MenACYW-TT administration were higher than those after MenACWY-D administration for all four serogroups (A: 93.5% vs. 88.1%; C: 93.5% vs. 77.8%; W: 94.5% vs. 80.2%; Y: 98.6% vs. 81.2%). A similar trend was observed for post vaccination GMTs in adult participants. Reactogenicity profiles were comparable across study groups. Most unsolicited adverse events were of grade 1 or grade 2 intensity. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were reported. Conclusion MenACYW-TT vaccine was well tolerated and demonstrated a non-inferior immune response compared with the licensed MenACWY-D vaccine when administered as a single dose to meningococcal vaccine naïve adults.

Abstract Background Children do not respond immunologically as well as adults to standard-dose (SD) influenza vaccination and remain at increased risk of influenza and its complications. A method to improve efficacy in children may be to increase antigen amount per dose, a successful strategy used in older adults. Trivalent high-dose (HD) influenza vaccine (60ug hemagglutinin/strain) showed significantly improved effectiveness for prevention of clinical outcomes related to influenza in adults ≥65 years; moreover, a quadrivalent HD formulation was approved by US FDA (2019) for use in this group. Methods A Phase 2, randomized, modified double blind study (NCT03698279) was conducted in US and Canadian children to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of IIV4-HD compared to an IIV4-SD and adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aIIV3). Children (n=661, 6 months through &lt; 18 years) were assigned to receive intramuscularly 1 of 3 formulations of IIV4-HD (30, 45, or 60 µg HA/strain/dose), a licensed IIV4-SD, or a licensed aIIV3. Depending on child’s previous influenza vaccination status and age, they received 1 or 2 doses of study vaccine 28 days apart. Post-vaccination (28 days after each vaccination) geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates were measured using hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assay. Reactogenicity data were collected through 1 week; safety data were collected through 6 months post-vaccination. Results IIV4-HD was more reactogenic than IIV4-SD, but unsolicited related adverse events were similar (Table 1). No related serious adverse events or deaths occurred. A dose-related increase in HAI GMT ratio was observed across the age range for A/H3N2 but only in children 6 months through &lt; 3 years for A/H1N1 and the 2 B strains (Table 2). Compared with IIV4-SD, the 60 µg HA/strain/dose formulation of IIV4-HD generated highest HAI GMT ratios and high seroconversion rates for all 4 strains in US children 6 months through &lt; 3 years. Canadian children receiving IIV4-HD generated HAI titers incongruent to those of US children receiving IIV4-HD, limiting direct comparison against aIIV3. Safety Overview (US and Canadian subjects 6 months through &lt;18 years) HAI GMT Ratios (QIV-HD/QIV-SD) at 28 days After the Last Vaccination (US subjects 6 months through &lt;18 years) Conclusion The favorable safety profile and the HAI GMT ratios support pediatric dose selection of 60µg HA/strain/dose as most appropriate to evaluate in Phase 3.

Abstract Background Risk factors (RFs) for pneumococcal disease (PD) in immunocompetent individuals include comorbidities, behavioral habits, or living in a community with increased risk of PD transmission. RF stacking of comorbidities is associated with a higher incidence of PD, approaching that of immunocompromised individuals. Pneumococcal vaccination of certain adults is recommended with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) alone/sequentially with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). V114, an investigational 15-valent PCV, contains 2 epidemiologically important serotypes (STs), 22F and 33F, in addition to the 13 STs in 13-valent PCV (PCV13). Methods PNEU-DAY was a Phase 3 study evaluating V114 or PCV13 administered on Day 1, and PPSV23 given 6 months later, in adults aged 18–49 years with or without RFs. This subgroup analysis assessed safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 and PCV13 based on the number of baseline PD RFs, which included chronic liver, lung, and heart disease, diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption. Adverse events (AEs; overall and solicited) were collected after each vaccination. Immunogenicity assessment was based on ST-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) at 30 days after each vaccination. Subgroup analyses were conducted by RF group (0, 1, or ≥2 RFs for PD). Results Among the 1515 participants randomized to V114 (n=1135) or PCV13 (n=380), 25.2% had no RFs, 54.7% had 1 RF and 20.1% had ≥2 RFs for PD at baseline. The proportions of participants with solicited AEs following V114/PCV13 and PPSV23 were comparable across the 3 subgroups, with injection-site pain, myalgia, and fatigue being the most common. V114 and PCV13 were immunogenic in all subgroups based on OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 30 days post-vaccination for the 13 shared STs (Figure); in addition, V114 induced a robust immune response to the 2 unique STs (22F, 33F) in all subgroups. PPSV23 following PCV was immunogenic for all 15 STs contained in V114 across all subgroups. Figure. Serotype-specific OPA GMTs at baseline and 30 days post-vaccination with V114 and PCV13 by number of baseline risk factors (per-protocol population) Conclusion V114 administered alone/sequentially with PPSV23 is well tolerated and immunogenic for all 15 vaccine STs, including those not contained in PCV13, in immunocompetent adults aged 18–49 years, regardless of the number of baseline RFs.

Abstract Background Regdanvimab is a monoclonal antibody with activity against SARS-CoV-2. A Phase 2/3 study with two parts is currently ongoing and data up to Day 28 of Part 1 is available while the data from 1315 patients enrolled in Part 2 are expected in June 2021. Methods This phase 2/3, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind study with 2 parts is aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of regdanvimab in outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19, not requiring supplemental oxygen therapy. Patients aged &gt;18 with the onset of symptoms within 7 days were eligible to be enrolled. Results In Part 1, 307 patients (101, 103, and 103 patients in the regdanvimab 40 mg/kg, regdanvimab 80 mg/kg, and placebo groups, respectively) were confirmed to have COIVD-19 by RT-qPCR at Day 1 (or Day 2). Regdanvimab significantly reduced the proportion of patients who required hospitalization or supplemental oxygen therapy compared to placebo (8.7% in the placebo vs. 4.0% in the regdanvimab 40 mg/kg). The difference in events rate was even larger in patients who met the high-risk criteria and confirmed a 66.1% reduction in patients receiving regdanvimab 40 mg/kg (Table 1). The median time to clinical recovery was shortened by 2.9 days (7.18 days for regdanvimab 40 mg/kg and 10.03 days for placebo; high-risk). Also, greater reductions from baseline viral load were shown in regdanvimab groups (Figure 1). The safety results confirmed that the regdanvimab was safe and well-tolerated. Occurrence of adverse events (Table 2) and results of other safety assessments were generally comparable among the 3 groups. The overall rate of infusion-related reaction was low and no serious adverse events or deaths were reported. The anti-drug antibody positive rate was low in the regdanvimab groups (1.4% in regdanvimab vs. 4.5% in placebo), and no antibody-dependent enhancement was reported. Conclusion Results from the first part of the study indicate that regdanvimab may lower the rate of hospitalisation or requirement of oxygen supplementation, with the greatest benefit noted in patients at high-risk of progressing to severe COVID-19. The second part of the study remains ongoing and blinded. Therefore, results for the primary endpoint are forthcoming and will be presented at IDWeek. Disclosures Michael G.

Abstract Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in infancy (i.e., among children aged &lt; 2 years) may have long-term consequences for the rapidly developing lung. We examined the impact of pneumonia in infancy on subsequent respiratory health. Methods A retrospective matched-cohort design and data from Optum’s de-identified Integrated Claims-Clinical dataset (2009-2018) were employed. Study population comprised children who were hospitalized for CAP before age 2 years (“CAP patients”) as well as matched comparators without evidence of pneumonia before age 2 years (“comparison patients”). CAP patients and comparison patients were matched (fixed 1:5 ratio, without replacement) using estimated propensity scores and a nearest-neighbor approach; those with evidence of selected medical conditions (e.g., extreme prematurity, congenital diseases, respiratory diseases) before age 2 years were excluded. Study outcomes included recurrent pneumonia and a composite of asthma, recurrent wheezing, and hyperactive airway disease. Rates of study outcomes from age 2 to 5 years were estimated for all CAP and comparison patients as well as subgroups of CAP patients (and corresponding comparison patients) stratified by etiology (bacterial, viral, unspecified). Results Study population totaled 1,343 CAP patients and 6,715 comparison patients. CAP patients and comparison patients were well-balanced on their baseline characteristics and mean duration of follow-up was 757 and 729 days, respectively. Rates of chronic respiratory disorders from age 2 to 5 years were significantly higher among CAP patients versus comparison patients. Analyses of subgroups stratified by etiology demonstrated higher rates of study outcomes among CAP patients across all strata. Rates of recurrent pneumonia and a composite of asthma, recurrent wheezing, and hyperactive airway disease from age 2 to 5 years among CAP patients and matched comparison patients Conclusion Infant CAP foreshadows an increase in subsequent risk of chronic respiratory disorders. Further studies are needed to determine whether this elevated risk is due to infant pneumonia or whether infant pneumonia is a marker of at-risk children. Disclosures Stephen I.

Abstract Background MenACYW-TT is an investigational quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine that contains tetanus toxoid as carrier protein. The vaccine is intended for global use in individuals 6 weeks of age and older. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of MenACYW-TT compared with a licensed quadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY-CRM [Menveo®]) in US children 2–9 years of age. Methods In a modified double-blind Phase III study (NCT03077438), 1000 children were randomized to receive one dose of either MenACYW-TT vaccine or MenACWY-CRM vaccine. Serum bactericidal assays with human (hSBA) and baby rabbit (rSBA) complement were used to measure antibodies against representative meningococcal serogroup strains at baseline and 30 days after vaccination. Safety data were collected up to 6 months post-vaccination. Results Non-inferiority of immune responses for all four serogroups, based on percentages of participants achieving hSBA vaccine seroresponse, was demonstrated for MenACYW-TT compared with MenACWY-CRM at Day 30 compared with baseline. The proportions of individuals with hSBA titers ≥ 1:8 following MenACYW-TT administration were higher than those after MenACWY-CRM administration for all four serogroups (A: 86.4% vs 79.3%; C: 97.8% vs 67.1%; W: 94.8% vs 86.3%; Y: 98.5% vs 90.8%). Similar results were observed in two age substrata (2 to 5 years and 6 to 9 years). Percentages of participants with post-vaccination rSBA titers ≥ 1:128 were comparable between both groups. The safety profiles of MenACYW-TT and MenACWY-CRM were comparable. Reactogenicity at the MenACYW-TT injection site was lower than at the MenACWY-CRM injection site. There were no immediate adverse events (AEs), no AEs leading to study discontinuation, and no vaccine-related serious adverse events reported in the study. Conclusion MenACYW-TT vaccine was well tolerated and demonstrated a non-inferior immune response compared with that for the licensed MenACWY-CRM vaccine when administered as a single dose to meningococcal vaccine-naïve children.

Abstract Background C-itra is the drug of choice for treatment of most non-CNS, non-life-threatening forms of endemic mycoses (EM), including histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis and talaromycosis. SUBA represents a new formulation of itraconazole that utilizes nanotechnology to improve bioavailability when administered orally. SUBA is formulated as nanoparticles allowing for absorption in the small bowel while not relying on gastric acidity for optimal absorption. MSG-15 is an open-label, comparative clinical trial comparing SUBA to c-itra for the treatment of EM. Herein we report the final PK and AE profiles of these two compounds. Methods Subjects with proven and probable EM were eligible this open-label comparative study. The protocol allowed up to 14 d of prior therapy with any antifungal for this episode of EM. Subjects were randomized to receive either SUBA 130 mg po bid or c-itra 200 mg po bid for up to 6 months. Follow up occurred at 7, 14, 28, 42, 84 and 180 d post-enrollment. PK samples were obtained at 7, 14, and 42 d. Clinical assessment, including symptom assessment, AEs, overall drug tolerance, and quality of life were assessed at each visit. We used descriptive statistics for this analysis. Results 89 subjects with EM entered the trial, including 43 on SUBA and 46 on c-itra. We measured PK serum levels of itra and hydroxyl-itra at days 7, 14, and 42 and these data are depicted in Figures 1-3. There were no significant differences in these levels, including combined itra/hydroxyl-itra levels, among the two study arms. AUC for itra and hydroxyl-itra were similar for both arms. AEs as assessed at each study evaluation were also quite similar among the two study arms. Overall, any AE occurred in 74% vs 85% of SUBA and c-itra recipients, respectively (NS). Drug-related AEs occurred in 35% vs 41% of SUBA and itra recipients, respectively (NS). Most common drug-related AEs included cardiovascular (edema and hypertension), nausea and loss of appetite. Combined Itraconazole and Hydroxy-itraconazole Concentration Over Time Conclusion Compared to c-itra, SUBA demonstrates almost identical serum levels despite being dosed at roughly 60% standard dosing for c-itra (130 mg po bid vs 200 mg po bid). SUBA is slightly better tolerated than c-itra, although the specific AEs are similar. Disclosures Peter G.

Abstract Background Remdesivir (RDV) has been shown to shorten recovery time and was well tolerated in patients with severe COVID-19. Here we report baseline characteristics associated with clinical improvement at day (d) 14. Methods We enrolled hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, oxygen saturation &gt;94% on room air, and radiological evidence of pneumonia. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive 5d or 10d of intravenous RDV once daily plus standard of care (SoC), or SoC only. For this analysis, patients were followed through discharge, d14, or death. Baseline demographic and disease characteristics associated with clinical improvement in oxygen support (≥2-point improvement on a 7-category ordinal scale ranging from discharge to death) were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression methods. Results 584 patients were randomized and treated (5/10d RDV, n=384; SoC: n=200). 159 (27%) were ≥65y, 227 (39%) female, 328 (61%) white, 102 (19%) Asian, and 99 (19%) Black. 252 participants (43%) were enrolled in Europe, 260 (45%) North America (NA), and 72 (12%) in Asia. Most patients (483 [83%]) were not on supplemental oxygen but required medical care at baseline. In a multivariable model, 5/10d RDV was significantly positively associated with clinical improvement (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.69, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.65; p=0.0226). Significant covariables positively associated with clinical improvement included age &lt; 65y (p&lt; 0.0001) and region of treatment (Europe and NA vs Asia, p&lt; 0.0001 each; Table); other examined factors were not significantly associated with clinical improvement, including gender, race, ethnicity, baseline oxygen support, duration of symptoms and hospitalization, obesity, and baseline transaminase levels. Table 1. Conclusion In moderate COVID-19 patients, after adjusting for treatment arm, age &lt; 65y and region (NA vs Asia; Europe vs Asia) were associated with higher rates of clinical improvement. These observations recapitulate younger age as positive prognostic factor, and highlight the differences in the impact of the pandemic globally.

Abstract Background The typical dose of flucytosine is 25 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours for severe infections due to Candida and Cryptococcus. Many hospital protocols use ideal body weight (IBW) for initial dosing to achieve a goal peak serum concentration of 30-80 mcg/mL, but this is supported by very limited data. Our objective was to evaluate flucytosine dosing strategies, describe safety concerns, and explore financial benefits associated with using IBW. Methods All inpatient flucytosine orders for adults from 1/1/2015 through 10/31/2020 were retrospectively evaluated. Doses, weight used, flucytosine levels, adverse events, and potential cost savings associated with IBW dosing were characterized. Results During this period, 35 patients received flucytosine. The most common indications were cryptococcal meningitis (73%), pulmonary cryptococcosis (14%), and candidiasis (11%). Most patients were receiving concurrent liposomal amphotericin B (92%). Based on body mass index, most patients were overweight or obese (60%). Actual body weight was used for initial dosing in most cases (81%). Flucytosine peak monitoring was performed in 51% of cases. Initial peak levels were supratherapeutic in 10/19 cases (53%). Of those 10 patients, 70% were overweight/obese, and 60% would have received a lower initial dose if IBW had been used with dose rounding to the nearest 500mg capsule. Adverse events for all patients included new onset cytopenias, hepatic and renal dysfunction, occurring in 20%, 11%, and 60% respectively. Those with supratherapeutic levels had higher rates of new onset hepatic and renal dysfunction, 30% and 90% respectively. In 32% of cases, using IBW would have resulted in a lower daily dose, with an average dose reduction of 1888 mg, resulting in a mean cost savings per patient of &640/day using average wholesale price. Conclusion Most flucytosine orders were not dosed using IBW, which may have led to supratherapeutic levels. Using IBW for dosing in overweight patients may lead to reduced toxicity and potential cost savings. The default dosing weight for flucytosine in our electronic medical record will be set to IBW to encourage change. Disclosures Trevor C.
