The study indicates that suptavumab did not reduce the overall rate of childhood RSV respiratory infections due to a newly circulating mutant strain of RSV B. Genetic variation in circulating RSV strains will continue to pose challenges to prevention efforts.
Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of childhood medically attended respiratory infection (MARI). Methods. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial in 1154 preterm infants of 1 or 2 doses of suptavumab, a human monoclonal antibody that can bind and block a conserved epitope on RSV A and B subtypes, for the prevention of RSV MARI. The primary endpoint was proportion of subjects with RSV-confirmed hospitalizations or outpatient lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). Results. There were no significant differences between primary endpoint rates (8.1%, placebo; 7.7%, 1-dose; 9.3%, 2-dose). Suptavumab prevented RSV A infections (relative risks,.38; 95% confidence interval [CI],.14-1.05 in the 1-dose group and.39 [95% CI,.14-1.07] in the 2-dose group; nominal significance of combined suptavumab group vs placebo; P =.0499), while increasing the rate of RSV B infections (relative risk 1.36 [95% CI,.73-2.56] in the 1-dose group and 1.69 [95% CI,.92-3.08] in the 2-dose group; nominal significance of combined suptavumab group vs placebo; P =.12). Sequenced RSV isolates demonstrated no suptavumab epitope changes in RSV A isolates, while all RSV B isolates had 2-amino acid substitution in the suptavumab epitope that led to loss of neutralization activity. Treatment emergent adverse events were balanced across treatment groups. Conclusions. Suptavumab did not reduce overall RSV hospitalizations or outpatient LRTI because of a newly circulating mutant strain of RSV B. Genetic variation in circulating RSV strains will continue to challenge prevention efforts.
