Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants with Viral Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE)
7 Days Post-Challenge

Viral AGE was a composite endpoint for the analysis of clinical illness and was defined as meeting one or more definitions of Norwalk Virus Infection and one or more of the definitions of AGE. Norwalk Virus Infection: * PAN-Immunoglobulin (Ig) Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for anti-Norwalk Virus Antibody IgM, IgG and IgA, ≥4-fold rise in titer in serum on Challenge Day 30 compared to Pre-Challenge. * Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), a single positive post-challenge stool sample. * Norwalk Virus Antigen, a single positive post-challenge stool sample. Acute Gastroenteritis: -\>200 grams of watery feces in 24-hour collection that immediately takes the shape of the container. * Vomiting and watery feces ≤200 grams on the same or consecutive days. * One vomiting episode plus one of the following symptoms: abdominal cramps or pains, nausea, bloating, loose feces, fever ≥99.7° Fahrenheit, or myalgia on the same or consecutive days.
