1634. Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Associated Health Care Utilization in the Pivotal Phase 3 Trial RSV Vaccine Efficacy Study In Older Adults Immunized Against RSV Disease (RENOIR)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-related disease poses an economic burden due to a substantial amount of health care utilization (HCU). RENOIR is a phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study evaluating vaccine efficacy (VE) in adults ≥60 years of age during two RSV seasons in Northern and Southern Hemisphere countries (Argentina, Canada, Finland, Japan, Netherlands, South Africa, and USA) (NCT05035212). VE at the end of the first RSV surveillance season (EOS1) against ARI-RSV, Lower Respiratory Tract Illness (LRTI)-RSV with ≥2 symptoms (2+ LRTI-RSV), and LRTI-RSV with ≥3 symptoms (3+ LRTI-RSV) was 62.2% (44.4, 74.9), 65.1% (35.9, 82.0), and 88.9% (53.6, 98.7), respectively. Methods HCU data and concomitant corticosteroid or antibiotic use were collected during the RSV season for Acute Respiratory Illness (ARI) events (defined as more than 1 day of new or increased cough, nasal congestion/discharge, sore throat, wheezing, sputum production, or shortness of breath). A pre-planned analysis of HCU at EOS1 was performed to assess HCU among participants receiving RSVpreF vs. placebo. Results A higher proportion of RSV-associated HCU was associated with more severe symptoms (43.0%, 60.3%, and 75% for ARI-RSV, 2+ LRTI-RSV, and 3+ LRTI-RSV, respectively). Medically attended (MA) VE was similar to VE for all first-episode cases with MA ARI-RSV 65.1% (35.9, 82.0), MA 2+ LRTI-RSV 70.4% (33.0, 88.4), MA 3+ LRTI-RSV 84.6% (32.0, 98.3). Most RSV-associated HCU were outpatient visits, with more in the placebo arm. A higher proportion of placebo arm participants with RSV cases had an RSV-associated emergency room visit. For ARI-RSV, there were 3 hospitalizations in the placebo arm and none in the RSVpreF arm. The placebo arm had higher antibiotic (11.8 - 55.6% higher) or corticosteroid (2.8 – 44.4% higher) use compared to the RSVpreF arm for ARI- or LRTI-RSV events. Table 1 Vaccine Efficacy of RSVpreF Against First Episode of RSV Cases in the First RSV Season – Evaluable Efficacy Population Table 2 Healthcare Resource Utilization Associated With RSV Cases in the First RSV Season Table 3 Prespecified Category of Concomitant Medication Uses for RSV Cases in the First RSV Season Conclusion RSVpreF reduced overall HCU and antibiotic or corticosteroid treatment for RSV-associated illnesses. The highest VE among MA RSV-associated cases was for MA 3+ LRTI-RSV. These findings suggest that RSVpreF may reduce RSV-related healthcare needs in older adults, thus alleviating this burden on health systems. Disclosures Edward E.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
