About this study

Subjects will be admitted to an infusion unit for drug administration and observation following infusion. The study is designed to compare an infusion of a single high or low IV dose of VIS410 against placebo. Subjects will be followed for 100 (±7 days).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Surgically sterile; hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation

  • Non-vasectomized (or vasectomized less than 6 months prior to dosing) male subjects who have a female partner of childbearing potential must use an effective birth control method when having heterosexual intercourse, from screening until 60 days post infusion
  • Test positive for influenza A by Rapid Antigen Test performed with a commercially available test on an adequate nasopharyngeal specimen in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
  • Presence of at least one respiratory symptom (cough, sore throat, or nasal symptoms) of moderate to severe intensity, or presence of at least one constitutional symptom (myalgia [aches and pains], headache, feverishness, or fatigue) of moderate to severe intensity
  • Onset of symptoms (time when the temperature was first measured as elevated [temperature of ≥100.4°F or ≥38°C], OR the time when the subject experienced at least one respiratory symptom or at least one constitutional symptom) no more than 72 hours before the start of infusion

Exclusion criteria

  • Use of NSAIDs or antihistamines within 6 hours of study drug dosing with the exception of those used as part of the pretreatment regimen
  • History of intolerance or allergic response to monoclonal antibodies and/or pretreatment medications (diphenhydramine, ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid)
  • Subject weight less than (<) 45 kg

  • Presence of known Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome-defining illness, chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C
  • Receipt of any dose of antiviral therapy such as, but not limited to, rimantadine, amantadine, peramivir, zanamivir, laninamivir or oseltamivir in the 7 days prior to screening

  • Subjects unable to take oral predose medication
  • Known or suspected alcohol or drug abuse, that is, abuse of a level that would compromise the safety or cooperation of the subject in the opinion of the Investigator

Primary outcomes

  1. Assess the Safety and Tolerability of a Single IV Dose of VIS410 in Participants With Uncomplicated Influenza Infection

    Time frame: 100 days

    The percentage of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) following administration of a single dose of IV VIS410.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and TEAEs of Special Interest

    Time frame: 100 days

    Percentage of participants experiencing any TEAE, TEAEs considered related to study treatment and the number of participants experiencing adverse events of special interest (AESI). A TEAE is defined as an adverse event that starts on or after the date of study drug IV infusion. AESIs included hypersensitivity reaction, anaphylactic reaction, or injection site adverse event.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in Signs and Symptoms of Influenza-like Illness as Assessed by the Influenza Patient Reported Outcomes Questionnaire After a Single IV Dose of VIS410

    Time frame: 10 days

    The Influenza Patient Reported Outcome (FluPRO) questionnaire is a 32-question instrument that assesses the occurrence and intensity of influenza associated symptoms (scale of 0 to 4, with 0 representing no symptoms) over 24 hours (lower scores indicate better outcomes). FluPRO data were recorded by subjects at Baseline (Day 1), then daily thereafter through Day 10. These data were summarized at each visit by treatment group. The data below show the percent change in mean total symptom scores over time by treatment arm.

  2. Hospitalization for Influenza-related Complications

    Time frame: 100 days

    Number of participants requiring hospitalization for influenza-related complications

  3. Duration of Hospitalization for Complications of Influenza

    Time frame: 100 days

    Duration of hospitalization for participants with at least 1 complication of influenza. There were no participants hospitalized for complications of influenza.

  4. Count of Participants With Complications of Influenza

    Time frame: 100 days

    Count of participants with at least 1 complication of influenza

Negative results include screened or confirmed negative or confirmed positive but below titer cut point factor (titer < 1).
