Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Protocol-defined Influenza-like Illness (ILI) Occurring ≥7 Days after and up to 24 Weeks after Administration of Study Drug
From Day 8 up to 24 weeks after study drug dosing

Percentage of participants experiencing protocol-defined ILI occurring after administration of CD388, with influenza infection confirmed by a reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction positive (RT-PCR+) result based on a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab assayed at a central laboratory (first occurrence only), as compared to placebo.

Occurrence of Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) in Participants Administered CD388
On Day 1 (pre-dose baseline), Day 29, Day 85, Day 169, and Day 197 in Study Period 1; on Day 1 (pre-dose), Day 29, Day 85, Day 169, and Day 197/End of Study (EOS) in Study Period 2

Evaluation of blood serum samples for the occurrence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) or treatment-boosted ADAs (based on an increase in ADA titer in samples positive for ADA at baseline) directed to CD388 in participants following administration of each annual dose of CD388.

Incidence and Severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) after Administration of Study Drug
From Day 1 through Day 197/End of Study (EOS) after study drug dosing

Safety and tolerability of CD388, as compared to placebo, will be evaluated by assessing the number of participants with incidences of TEAEs following the administration of study drug. TEAEs include but are not limited to adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), injection site reactions (ISRs), and any potentially clinically significant changes from baseline seen in vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and clinical laboratory parameters.

Mean Area Under the Viral Load-Time Curve (VL-AUC) After Influenza Viral Challenge
Day 1 (evening [pm]); Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (morning [am] and pm); Day 8 (am)

Evaluation of the prophylactic effect of CD388, when compared to placebo, on VL-AUC of influenza challenge virus as determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on nasal samples starting 1 day post viral challenge.

Median Area Under the Viral Load-Time Curve (VL-AUC) After Influenza Viral Challenge
Day 1 (evening [pm]); Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (morning [am] and pm); Day 8 (am)

Evaluation of the prophylactic effect of CD388, when compared to placebo, on VL-AUC of influenza challenge virus as determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on nasal samples starting 1 day post viral challenge.

Severity of TEAEs After a Single Dose of CD388
Day 1 through Day 120 (±14 days; Cohorts 1A/1B only); Day 1 through Day 374 (±14 days; Cohorts 2A/2B and 3A/3B); or Day 1 through Day 206 (±10 days; Cohort 4B only)

Maximum severity of TEAEs reported (in participants with at least one TEAE), including but not limited to adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) (including systemic reactogenicity/injection site reactions and hypersensitivity reactions), and AEs leading to study drug discontinuation and/or study withdrawal, based on vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory test (including hematology, coagulation, serum chemistry, and urinalysis) abnormalities following a single dose of CD388.
