219. Robust and Consistent Immune Response of the Adjuvanted Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Prefusion F Protein Vaccine (RSVPreF3 OA) Across Different Age Ranges and Frailty Status in Older Adults
Abstract Background In a phase 3 study, the approved RSVPreF3 OA vaccine, administered as a single dose in adults aged ≥ 60 years, has demonstrated high efficacy against RSV disease and was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. Here we present immunogenicity results in older adults of different age and frailty status from the same study. Methods This phase 3, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, multi-country study (NCT04886596) enrolled adults aged ≥ 60 years who were randomized (1:1) to receive a dose of RSVPreF3 OA or placebo, before the RSV season. Blood samples were collected at pre-vaccination (day 1) and 1 month post-vaccination (day 31). Humoral immune responses were assessed in a subset of participants, and outcomes included RSV-A and RSV-B neutralization titers by age category and frailty status. Results Of the 24,966 participants who received RSVPreF3 OA or placebo at day 1, 1,702 were included in the per-protocol set for immunogenicity. Demographic characteristics in the immunogenicity subset were well balanced between groups (Table 1). The mean age was 70.3 (± 6.8) years. At day 1, all tested participants had detectable RSV-A and RSV-B neutralization titers due to previous exposure to RSV. At day 31, 1 month post-vaccination, neutralization titers were between 9.4–11.3-fold (RSV-A) and between 8.0–9.0-fold (RSV-B) higher than pre-vaccination levels across the different age categories (Figure 1). In pre-frail and frail adults, neutralization titers increased 10.0- and 13.7-fold (RSV-A), and 8.8- and 9.2-fold (RSV-B) between day 1 and 1 month post-vaccination (Figure 1). Conclusion For both RSV subtypes, RSVPreF3 OA induced a large increase in neutralization titers across the different age categories, including a robust immune response even in adults aged ≥80 years, known to have immunosenescence. A robust immune response was also observed in pre-frail and frail adults, however the results for frail adults should be considered with caution as the number of frail adults in the study was low.
