42. 42 Study AV012 - Texas HMO TrialYears 1 and 2
43. 43 AV012 Texas HMO Trial: Design Design ? Open-label, non-randomized
Subjects ? children 18 mo 18 years
History of mild asthma permitted
Vaccine ? single dose given in each year
Planned to assess herd immunity of FluMist?, safety monitoring as secondary objective
Several limitations for the design
Presenting only safety data from Years 1 and 2
Contributes safety experience following
9549 doses in 7448 children
44. 44 AV012 Texas HMO Trial: Design
Revised plan for safety assessments
(implemented after trial initiated):
SAEs for 42 days post-vaccination ?
primary measure of safety
Captured by postcard reporting or database searches
Medically attended acute respiratory illness (MAARI) ? secondary measure of safety
Captured by database searches
Overall MAARI
Selected respiratory events, including asthma
45. 45 AV012 Revised Analysis Plan Data analysis of MAARI events used a post-marketing method (Griffin et al, 1990, 1991)
Each participant served as own control:
event rates within a specified vaccination period compared to event rates within a reference period
Two Vaccination Periods:
Days 0 - 14
Days 0 - 42
Single Reference Period was constructed by combining pre-vaccination period and the post-vaccination period
46. 46 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Years 1 and 2 - Results Enrolled Year 1 (8/17/98 1/30/99)
N = 4298
Asthma history ~13%

51. 51 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Limitations Not randomized or blinded
No control group for statistical comparisons
Method used for data analysis may be problematic for pre-licensure safety evaluations
MAARI for safety not prospectively defined
Differences in MAARI rates observed in
Year 1 and Year 2
52. 52 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Conclusions 7448 subjects received 9549 doses of FluMist? (37% of total 1st doses)
Rates of SAEs captured was 0.2-0.3%, similar to rate in AV019
No reported rare events, potentially-related to wild type influenza infection
? RR for MAARI observed in some analyses
53. 53 Comparison of AV012 and AV019 Rates of asthma events 0.5% - 1.5% among FluMist? recipients in both trials
Marked differences between designs of 2 trials:
Open label vs. randomized, blinded and controlled
Monitoring methods

Geographic locations, calendar years
54. 54 Asthma/Wheezing: Review of 20 Trials in BLA Overlap in diagnoses of asthma, reactive airway disease (RAD), wheezing and shortness of breath (SOB)
Across 20 studies, 82 - 88% of asthma/RAD/wheezing/SOB events and 74 - 83% of asthma/RAD occurred in children 1 - 9 years of age (50% of total study population)
Asthma events occurred throughout
42 day post-vaccination period
55. 55 Serious Adverse Events Asthma/Wheezing Review of 20 Trials in BLA 4 hospitalizations for asthma/RAD/wheezing/SOB events:
AV006 Year 2 ? 23 mo for status asthmaticus on Day 8 after Dose 3 of FluMist
AV008 ? 69 yo with heart disease, wheezing, and CHF on Day 16 post-FluMist?
AV002 ? 2 hospitalizations for RAD on Day 4 and Day 33 in placebo subject with history of asthma

57. 57 Asthma/Wheezing - Summary Analyses by age sub groups in AV019:
12-59 months (post hoc, 6-month increments)
18-35 months (pre-defined)
AV019 major contributor of children < 9 years in database (78%), thus review over 20 studies c/w results in AV019
Study AV010 (enrolled 9 17 year old subjects with moderate to severe wheezing)
3/24 FluMist and 0/24 placebo recipients had exacerbations in 32 days post-vaccination
Concern on-going for risk of asthma/wheezing events in young children and subjects with history of asthma
58. 58 Wyeth-Lederle Vaccines (WLV)-Sponsored Trial D145-P500 Assessment of Transmissibility of CAIV-T (FluMist?) in Daycare Attendees
59. 59 D145-P500 Transmission Study Randomized (1:1), double-blind trial to assess shedding and transmission of FluMist? (CAIV-T) influenza strains in daycare attendees, 8 36 months of age
Subjects eligible if:
Attended daycare > 3 times/week for > 4 hours/day
> 4 contacts in play group with at least one CAIV-T vaccinee
60. 60 D145-P500 Transmission Study: Design 1 dose of CAIV-T or placebo
Nasal swabs ? Day 0, 1 and 3 alternating days per week through Day 21
Isolated vaccine viruses were typed (A or B), subtyped (H1N1 or H3N2), phenotyped (ca and ts) and genotyped (subset)
Original primary objective ? % placebo subjects shedding virus, identified as vaccine strain
Sponsors post hoc analysis ? probability that a vaccinee will infect a placebo subject
(Reed-Frost Model)
61. 61 D145-P500 Results: Shedding 197 subjects (FluMist = 98, placebo = 99) enrolled from 51 daycare centers
typical playgroup ? 2 CAIV-T and 2 placebo
All available shedding population (n=197)
78 (80%) CAIV-T recipients shed at least 1 strain of vaccine virus:
43 shed type A
72 shed type B
6 shed types A and B
6 shed all 3 types
13 shed viruses, not able to be subtyped or genotyped (6 type A and 7 type B)
62. 62 Study D145-P500 Duration of Shedding of Influenza Viruses for FluMist? Recipients (N=98)
63. 63 D145-P500 Results: Transmission Placebo subjects:
All available, n=93
All evaluable, n=57 (no protocol violations)
Viruses recovered from 7 placebo subjects:
1 subject shed type B/Ann Arbor, vaccine strain on Day 15
6 subjects shed a total of 9 type A isolates
2 subjects shed wild type isolates on 2 different days (n=4 isolates)
4 subjects shed a total of 5 isolates that could not be identified
64. 64 D145-P500 Subject with Transmitted Type B Vaccine Virus Placebo subject shed type B/Ann Arbor, vaccine strain on Day 15 (negative cultures on other days)
Had contact with 2 CAIV-T recipients who were shedding type B
B/Ann Arbor detected 5 days after last day of identified shedding by vaccinees
Subject had coryza Days 8-18, cough on Days 8 and 9 and irritability Days 0, 14, 17
65. 65 D145-P500 Results: Probability of Transmission (Original Analysis) Including isolates identified as vaccine virus (n=1, type B) among 57 eligible placebo subjects, rate of transmission:
1/57 [Rate = 1.75% (95% CI: 0.1%, 8.75%)]
All available transmission (n=93), assuming all subjects with unidentified isolates had vaccine strain (n=5, 1 type B + 4 type A), rate of transmission:
5/93 [Rate = 5.38% (95% CI: 2.6%, 10.4%)]
66. 66 D145-P500: Genotype of Selected Shed Isolates Consensus genomic sequences of isolates from all placebo and subset of FluMist? recipients and the relevant viral harvest strains for the vaccine formulation used in the trial were compared
B/Ann Arbor transmitted isolate had 3 nucleotide changes
55 of 237 isolates from FluMist subjects were tested, nucleotide changes were found in:
16/21 (76%) A/H1N1
11/12 (92%) A/H3N2
17/22 (77%) B
67. 67 D145-P500 Results: Genotype and Phenotype Nucleotide changes were not random
Type A (H1N1 combined with H3N2):
occurred in PB1, PB2, NP and M genes
Type B:
occurred in the M gene
All tested isolates (n=55) maintained attenuated cold-adapted (ca) and temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotype
Evaluation of retention of attenuation of the shed viruses in animal model is on-going
68. 68 D145-P500 - Conclusions Several limitations for this trial, e.g., small sample, many protocol violations
Shedding of vaccine strains was frequent (~80%) and lasted through Day 21
Transmission occurred, estimate crude rate
Recovered vaccine viruses had a high frequency of nucleotide changes:
ca and ts phenotype markers retained
not random but clinical significance not known (evaluation of attentuation on-going)
69. 69 Additional Assessments of Shedding Routine Cultures (performed in 4 trials)
196 of 569 (~ 34.5%) subjects shed vaccine virus identified from routine cultures post-vaccination Days 0 10
Illness Cultures
40 of 290 (13.8%) FluMist? subjects with illnesses post-vaccination shed an influenza virus on culture obtained Days 0-10
20 of these 40 isolates were tested (genotype/phenotype) and proved to be vaccine strain
70. 70 Genotype and Phenotype Stability of Strains Recovered from Ill Subjects Of the 20 vaccine strains isolated from ill FluMist? subjects, none were reported to have altered ca or ts phenotype
Reassortment of vaccine strains and wild type influenza strains not identified in circumstances when wild type strains (A/H3N2 and B) were known to circulate

91. 91 AV006 Efficacy Results No A/H1N1 circulating in Year 1 or Year 2 and thus, do not have field efficacy data for this strain.
92. 92 AV006 - Year 1: Efficacy
93. 93 AV006 - Year 1: Efficacy by Age
94. 94 AV006 - Year 2 Efficacy 1358 subjects (87%) returned for Year 2
Received 1 dose of same study vaccine received in Year 1 (not re-randomized)
Circulating H3N2 strain (A/Sydney) was a variant from the vaccine strain (A/Wuhan)
95. 95 AV006 - Year 2 Efficacy
96. 96 AV006 - Year 2: Efficacy Against Any Influenza by Age Group
97. 97 AV011 A/H1N1 Challenge Study Primary Objective:
To compare viral shedding of vaccine strain CAIV-M (A/H1N1) in previous FluMist? recipients vs. previous placebo recipients
Subset of AV006 subjects (N=222, ~20 per site) challenged with A/Shenzhen/227/95 (H1N1)
5 - 8 mo after Year 2 vaccination; same lot of H1N1 as Year 2 vaccine; then assessed viral shedding on Days 1 - 4
Results ? 82.9% (60.2, 92.7) protection against shedding of vaccine strain CAIV-M
98. 98 AV009 - Adult Effectiveness Trial Healthy working adults, 18-64 years of age, randomized 2:1, to receive one dose of FluMist? or placebo
Primary effectiveness objective ? to show a smaller proportion of FluMist? compared to placebo recipients had any febrile illness (AFI) during influenza outbreaks
99. 99 AV009 Selected Secondary Endpoints and Analyses Several additional secondary endpoints, including:
Severe Febrile Illness (SFI),
Febrile URI (FURI),
CDC-Influenza-like Illness (CDC-ILI)
Comparison of effectiveness for subjects
< 40 years compared to > 40 years (prospective)
Comparison of effectiveness for subjects
< 50 years compared to > 50 years (post-hoc)
100. 100 AV009 Effectiveness against Illnesses during Influenza Outbreaks in Subjects 18-64 Years of Age
101. 101 AV009 - Rates of AFI-Associated Events in Total Study Cohort, 18-64 Years
102. 102 AV009 Number of Subjects Enrolled, by Age Group
103. 103 AV009 Percent Reduction in Occurrence of Illness Categories for Subjects < 40 Years and > 40 Years
104. 104 AV009 Percent Reduction (95% CI) in Occurrence of Illness Categories for Subjects < 50 Years and 50 64 Years
105. 105 AV009 Percent Reduction (FluMist? vs. Placebo) in Illness-Associated Outcomes for Subjects 50 Years and 50 64 Years of Age For AFI, SFI, FURI and CDC-ILI subjects 50 64 years of age compared to subjects < 50 years, had significantly greater reductions illness-associated events for:
Missed worked days
Antibiotic use
HCP visits
106. 106 AV003 - Wild-type Influenza Challenge in Adults Efficacy objective:
To assess the efficacy post-challenge with wild-type influenza against laboratory-documented influenza illness in 18-42 yo:
FluMist? compared to placebo
FluMist? compared to TIV
107. 107 AV003 - Design: Definitions Laboratory-documented illness:
Symptoms of influenza with:
Shedding of wild-type influenza and/or
> 4-fold rise in HAI antibody titers to the challenge virus
108. 108 AV003 - Efficacy Against Laboratory-Documented Influenza Illness, All Strains Combined
109. 109 Efficacy Conclusions Efficacy against culture-confirmed influenza illness demonstrated after 1 or 2 doses in healthy children 15 to 72 mo in Year 1 and after revaccination in Year 2
Efficacy demonstrated for children in subgroup of 60 months to 72 months in AV006. These are the only efficacy data for children 60 months to 17 years
No field efficacy data for A/H1N1
110. 110 Effectiveness Conclusions Effectiveness not demonstrated in healthy working adults, 18 years - 64 years against the primary endpoint of AFI
Effectiveness observed against SFI, FURI and CDC-ILI (post-hoc)
Post-hoc analyses for > 50 64 years, no decrease in AFI, SFI, FURI or CDC-ILI
Efficacy against culture-confirmed influenza not assessed in adults
111. 111 Safety Conclusions 14,154 individuals ages 60 months 64 years vaccinated with FluMist?
Few subjects > 50 years
Increased risk of asthma events in children 12 - 59 months (AV019) post-vaccination; not observed in subjects > 60 months
No increased risk for pneumonia events
SAEs reported < 1% of subjects
