Inclution Criteria
Each potential subject must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
1. The subject is a boy or girl ≥28 days and ≤3 years at the time of consent.
2. Each subject’s legally acceptable representative (ie, parent(s)/legal guardian) must sign
an ICF indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for
the study, is willing for their child to participate in the study, is willing for their child to
remain in the hospital until at least Day 2 (even if not clinically indicated; Cohort 1
only), and is willing/able to adhere to the lifestyle restrictions specified in the protocol
(see Section 4.3) and study procedures and assessments to be performed by the
parent(s)/caregiver(s) as well as those by the investigator/site staff.
Note: Prior to signing the main consent form for the study, subject’s legally acceptable
representative may specifically allow for the collection and testing of nasal mid -
turbinate swab by signing the pre-screening (diagnostic) ICF. This is not required if
mid-turbinate or nasopharyngeal swabs are collected for diagnostic testing per local
SOC.
3. The subject has been diagnosed with RSV infection using a PCR-based (preferred) or
rapid-antigen-detection assay.
Note: If a subject had a positive similar RSV diagnostic test from another stud y for
which (s)he was otherwise ineligible or a SOC test within 24 hours prior to start of
screening and meets all eligibility criteria for inclusion in this study, this diagnostic test
result can be used for confirmation of eligibility. Randomization should occur within
24 hours after start of screening or within 48 hours after the results of the SOC RSV
positivity test became available, whichever comes first.
Note: If a rapid-antigen-detection assay is used as part of SOC or study-specifically
(with the main study ICF or with the diagnostic ICF having been signed), the sample
used for the RSV diagnostic testing should be sent to the central laboratory for
additional virologic analyses, as applicable.
4. The subject has an acute respiratory illness during which (s)he experienced a period of
apnea
OR
The subject has an acute respiratory illness with at least 1 of the signs/symptoms listed
in each of the following categories within 24 hours prior to start of screening and at
screening, as evaluated by the investigator:
nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, pharyngitis, or otitis media; AND
increased respiratory effort (as evidenced by subcostal, intercostal or tracheosternal
retractions, grunting, head bobbing, nasal flaring or tachypnea), abnormal breathing
sounds (wheezing, rales or rhonchi), cyanosis or cough; AND
feeding difficulties, defined as <75% intake of normal food amounts; dehydration;
fever; disturbed sleep or disturbed activity level (irritable/restless/agitated/less responsive).
5. The time of onset of RSV symptoms to the anticipated time of randomization must be
≤5 days. Onset of symptoms is defined as the time of the day (or part of the day if time
of the day cannot be specified) the parent(s)/caregiver(s) became(s) aware of the first
sign and/or symptom consistent with respiratory or systemic/general manifestation of
symptoms of RSV infection. The time of symptom onset has to be assessed as
accurately as possible.
Note: Subjects with symptom onset ≤3 days before randomization must account for at
least 50% of all enrolled subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2, at the time of all different planned
analyses.
6. Except for the RSV-related illness, the subject must be medically stable based on
physical examination, medical history, and vital signs performed at screening. If there
are abnormalities, they must be consistent with the underlying condition (RSV disease
and/or present risk factor[s] for severe RSV disease) in the study population as
evaluated by the investigator. This determination must be recorded in the subject’s
source documents and initialed by the investigator.
Exclusion Criteria
Any potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating
in the study:
1. The subject is <3 months postnatal age at screening and was born prematurely (ie, <37
weeks and 0 days of gestation).
2. The subject weights <2.4 kg or ≥16.8kg
3. The subject had major surgery within the 28 days prior to randomization or planned
major surgery through the course of the study.
4. The subject has major congenital anomalies or known cytogenetic or metabolic
disorders other than the ones allowed above (see inclusion criterion 4.1).
Note: Isolated open ductus arteriosus and open foramen ovale are not exclusionary as
these are not considered major anomalies. Subjects with congenital heart disease, cystic
fibrosis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or Down Syndrome are allowed to participate.
5. The subject is considered by the investigator to be immunocompromised within the past
12 months, whether due to underlying medical condition (eg, malignancy or genetic
disorder other than immunoglobulin A deficiency, or known HIV infection) or medical
therapy (eg, immunomodulators other than corticosteroids for the treatment of
comorbidities, chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell or solid organ transplant).
6. The subject has known or clinically suspected hepatitis B or C infection, either acute or
chronic active.
7. The subject has known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-53718678 or to
any of the excipients of the JNJ-53718678 or placebo formulation (refer to the
Investigator’s Brochure).
15
8. The subject is currently participating or planned to participate in another clinical
interventional study, during their participation in this study.
9. The subject is unwilling to undergo or the parent(s)/caregiver(s) is/are unwilling to have
the subject undergoing mid-turbinate nasal swab procedures.
10. The subject has any physical abnormality which limits the ability to collect regular nasal
specimens.
11. The subject is unable to take medications orally or has a known gastrointestinal-related
condition that is considered by the sponsor or investigator to be likely to interfere with
study drug ingestion or absorption.
12. The subject is being treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (Cohort 1 only).
13. The subject is receiving chronic home oxygen therapy at screening.
14. The subject with clinically significant abnormal ECG findings (other than QTcF interval
>500 ms [subjects >0 to ≤2 years] or >450 ms [subjects >2 to 3years]), see exclusion
criterion 15) not consistent with the present risk factor for severe RSV disease (if
applicable) in the study population, as judged by the investigator based on the machine
read results at screening.
15. Confirmed QTcF interval >500 ms (subjects >0 to ≤2 years) or >450 ms (subjects >2 to
3 years) per the machine read (mean) parameter result at screening (based on the
average of the ECGs). Presence of an abnormal QTcF interval should be confirmed by
repeat triplicate ECG recording during screening.
