Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Cohort 1: Geometric Mean Antibody Titers to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Prefusion Conformation-stabilized F (preF) Protein Using preF Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) at 14 Days After Vaccination
14 days after vaccination on Day 1 (Day 15)

Geometric mean antibody titers (ELISA units per liter \[EU/L\]) to RSV preF protein using preF ELISA at 14 days after vaccination were reported.

Cohorts 2 and 3: Number of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) Until 7 Days After Vaccination on Day 1
Until 7 days after Vaccination on Day 1 (Day 8)

Number of participants with solicited local AEs until 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited local AEs were pre-defined local (at the injection site) AEs for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their e-diary until 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days). Solicited local AEs included: injection site pain/tenderness, erythema and swelling at the vaccination site.

Cohorts 2 and 3: Number of Participants With Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) Until 7 Days After Vaccination on Day 1
Until 7 days after Vaccination on Day 1 (Day 8)

Number of participants with solicited systemic AEs until 7 days after vaccination on Day 1 were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Participants were instructed on how to note signs and symptoms in their diary on a daily basis until 7 days post-vaccination (Day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days) for solicited systemic AEs. Solicited systemic AEs included fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea and fever (body temperature greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 38 degree celsius).

Cohorts 2 and 3: Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs Until 28 Days After Vaccination on Day 1
Until 28 days after Vaccination on Day 1 (Day 29)

Unsolicited AEs were all AEs for which the participants were not specifically questioned in the participant diary. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Unsolicited AEs included chills, injection site erythema, injection site pruritus Et cetera (etc).

Number of Participants with Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) After Vaccination
7 days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 8)

Number of participants with solicited local AE's will be evaluated. Solicited local AEs (including erythema, swelling, and pain/tenderness at the study vaccine injection site) will be noted in the participant diary after 7 days of vaccination.

Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) After Vaccination
7 days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 8)

Number of participants with solicited systemic AEs will be evaluated. Solicited systemic AEs (fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea and fever) will be noted in the participant diary after 7 days of vaccination.

Number of Participants with Unsolicited AEs
28 days after vaccination (Day 1 to Day 29)

Number of participants with unsolicited AEs will be evaluated. An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. Unsolicited AEs will include all AEs for which the participant is not specifically questioned in the participant diary.

Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
First vaccination (Day 1) to the end of the study (up to Day 183)

Number of participants with SAEs will be evaluated. A SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product, is medically important, and may jeopardize participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Frequently asked questions about RSV Vaccine

What is the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine?

The Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine is an investigational vaccine candidate designed to protect against respiratory syncytial virus. It is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The candidate has completed two clinical trials, including a Phase 2 study in older adults, and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine?

Johnson & Johnson, ticker JNJ, is developing the RSV vaccine candidate. The program includes an Ad26.RSV.preF-based vaccine evaluated in older adults. Both listed trials have been completed, and the candidate has not moved beyond Phase 2 testing based on the available program information.

What phase is the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine in?

The Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine is in Phase 2 development. One completed trial, NCT04453202, was a Phase 2 study of a range of dose levels in older adults, and a second completed trial, NCT04354480, was a Phase 1 study in Japanese adults aged 60 and older. It is investigational and not approved.

What clinical trials has the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine been studied in?

Two completed trials have evaluated the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine. NCT04453202 was a Phase 2 study of a range of dose levels of an Ad26.RSV.preF-based vaccine in 459 older adults in the United States. NCT04354480 was a Phase 1 study of a single vaccination in 36 Japanese adults aged 60 and older.

How does the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine work?

The Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine is built on an adenovirus serotype 26 vector encoding the RSV pre-fusion F protein, written as Ad26.RSV.preF. This vaccine platform is designed to present the pre-fusion form of the RSV F protein to the immune system. Both completed trials enrolled healthy adults aged 60 years and older.

Was the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine tested in older adults?

Yes. Both completed trials of the Johnson & Johnson RSV vaccine enrolled healthy adults aged 60 years and older. NCT04453202 randomized 459 participants in the United States in a placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 2 study, and NCT04354480 enrolled 36 participants in Japan in a Phase 1 study.
