About
The primary objective is to evaluate the anti-viral effect and safety of different doses of inhaled ALX-0171 in subjects hospitalized for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (RSV LRTI). The secondary objective is to evaluate the clinical activity, pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, pharmacodynamic (PD) effect and immunogenicity of different doses of inhaled ALX-0171.
Full description
This was a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international, multicenter dose-ranging study in infants and toddlers hospitalized for RSV LRTI. The study evaluated 3 dose levels of ALX-0171 in a sequential part (safety Cohorts 1-3) followed by a parallel part (Cohort 4).
An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) was assigned to review study data and provide recommendations on proceeding to the next safety cohort and on which dose levels could be taken forward in the parallel part.
Three dose levels of ALX-0171 were evaluated:
The study drug was administered by inhalation once daily for 3 consecutive days along with standard of care treatment, which was determined by the Investigator (or his/her designee) according to institutional practice.

Inclusion criteria
Male or female infant or young child aged 28 days to < 2 years with gestational age ≥ 33 weeks at screening.
Subject weighed between ≥ 3.0 kg and < 15.0 kg at screening.
Subject is otherwise healthy but was hospitalized for and clinically diagnosed with RSV LRTI (bronchiolitis or broncho-pneumonia), i.e., showing typical clinical signs and symptoms such as tachypnea, wheezing, cough, crackles, use of accessory muscles and/or nasal flaring.
Subject had a positive RSV diagnostic test at screening.
Subject was expected to have to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours (according to the Investigator's judgment at screening).
Symptoms were likely related to RSV infection (i.e., the symptoms present needed to be probably linked to the current RSV infection according to Investigator's judgment) had appeared within 4 days of screening and were not yet improving at screening and randomization.
Subject fulfilled at least 2 of the following RSV disease severity criteria at screening and randomization:
Inadequate oral feeding that required feeding support (i.e., nasogastric tube or intravenous [i.v.] line)
Inadequate oxygen saturation defined as:
Signs of respiratory distress defined as:
Normal psychomotor development.
Exclusion criteria
Subject was known to have significant comorbidities including:
Subject was known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive. If the subject was < 6 months of age, a known HIV-positivity of the mother was also exclusionary.
Subject was known to be immunocompromised.
Subject had or was suspected to have an active, clinically relevant concurrent infection (e.g., bacterial pneumonia, urinary tract infection). Concurrent acute otitis media was not exclusionary.
Subject had significant oral and/or maxillofacial malformations that would prevent proper positioning of the face mask.
Subject received invasive mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support (i.e., continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure) in the 4 weeks prior to screening.
During the admission, the subject was initially hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting and/or had received invasive mechanical ventilation or non-invasive respiratory support (i.e., continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure).
Subject was critically ill and/or was expected to require invasive mechanical ventilation, non invasive respiratory support (i.e., continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure), or High Flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) at levels not enabling nebulization therapy according to the Investigator's judgment. High Flow oxygen, with a maximum flow of 2 L/kg/min, was permitted under the following conditions:
