2 2 Clinical Review Team Antonia Geber, M.D. Wasima N. Rida, Ph.D.

3 3 Indication Sought Active immunization for the prevention of influenza in children, adolescents, and adults from 1-64 years of age. –2 dose regimen (at least 30 days apart) for 1st use in 1-9 years of age. –1 dose for >9 through 64 years of age. Also, for immunization of travelers to areas where influenza viruses are circulating.

4 4 Studies in Support of Efficacy AV006 (Years 1 and 2) –Efficacy against Cx-confirmed influenza illness in children 15-71 months of age. AV011 –Efficacy against shedding of vaccine strain (H1N1) following challenge in AV006 subset. AV009 –Efficacy against illness during influenza outbreak periods in adults, 18-64 years. AV003 –Efficacy against challenge with wild-type influenza in adults, 18-40 years.

5 5 Studies in Support of Consistency of Manufacturing AV007 –Lot consistency trial, including comparison with the efficacy lot, performed in children 12-36 months of age. AV014 –Manufacturing bridging study of FluMist  blended and filled at two facilities: Aviron- PA and Medeva, performed in children 12- 42 months of age.

6 6 AV006 - Pediatric Efficacy Trial U.S. multi-center, 2-year trial, prospective, double-blind, randomized FluMist  to placebo (2:1 ratio) in healthy, 15-71 mo old children. Initiated for 1996-97 influenza season. 1 dose and 2 dose (60 + 14 days) regimens were evaluated.

7 7 AV006 Design:Vaccines CAIV- T, FluMist  via Accuspray  device, dose of 0.5 ml (0.25 ml/nostril) of 10 6.7 TCID 50 : A/Texas/36/91 (H1N1) - Year 1 A/Shenzhen/227/95 (H1N1) - Year 2 A/Wuhan/359/95 (H3N2) - both years B/Harbin/7/94-like - both years Placebo - Normal allantoic fluid (NAF) stabilized with SPG

8 8 AV006 Design: Monitoring for Efficacy Active surveillance with phone calls every 2-3 weeks starting on Day 11 post- vaccination. Calls  to every 7-10 days with influenza outbreak. Parents were to call if the child had illness c/w influenza. Pre-defined criteria for obtaining influenza cultures or at the investigators’ discretion (after Day 11).

9 9 AV006 Design: Endpoints Primary –1st episode of cx-confirmed influenza illness anytime on the day of or after receipt of 2nd dose of study vaccine. Secondary –1st episode of cx-confirmed influenza illness occurring at least 15 days after the 1st dose of study vaccine in a subject after: receipt of 1 or 2 doses enrolled to receive 2-doses enrolled to receive 1 dose

10 10 Results - Year 1 Enrollment

11 11 AV006 - Results: Cx Obtained 139 Cx positive for influenza of 3127 Cxs obtained: –18 obtained within 1st 14 days* –7 not included –6 placebo had Cx + for H3N2 and then B 114 influenza-positive Cxs from 108 subjects included in efficacy analysis.

12 12 AV006 - Year 1 Efficacy No H1N1 circulating in Year 1 and thus, do not have field efficacy data for this strain.

13 13 AV006 - Year 1: Efficacy

14 14 AV006 - Year 1: Efficacy by Age

15 15 AV006 - Year 1: Efficacy by Gender and Ethnicity

18 18 AV006 - Illness Profiles of Subjects with Cxs in 1st 14 Days

19 19 Immunogenicity No correlate of immunity identified following FluMist . HAI titers > 1:32, assoc. with protection after natural influenza and inactivated vaccine. AV006 subset  assessed serum HAI titers, ELISA serum IgG and nasal IgA anti-HA.

20 20 AV006 - Year 1 Immunogenicity: Strain-specific HAI GMT Results

21 21 AV006 - Year 1: GMFR from Pre to Post-Dose 1 or 2 in FluMist  Subjects

22 22 AV006 - Year 2 1358 subjects (87%) returned for Year 2. Received 1 dose of same study vaccine received in Year 1 (not re-randomized). Primary endpoint - efficacy against 1st episode of cx-confirmed influenza illness caused by subtype antigenically similar to vaccine strains. Circulating H3N2 strain (A/Sydney) was a variant from the vaccine strain (A/Wuhan). No H1N1 circulating in Year 2.

23 23 AV006 - Year 2 Efficacy

24 24 AV011 - H1N1 Challenge Study In AV006, no efficacy data for H1N1. Primary Objective: –To compare viral shedding of vaccine strain CAIV-M (H1N1) in previous FluMist  recipients vs. previous placebo recipients. Subset of AV006 subjects (N=222, ~20 per site; mean age ~60 mos) were challenged with vaccine strain CAIV-M (H1N1);then viral shedding was assessed, as surrogate for vaccine efficacy.

25 25 AV011 - Design Day 0 - challenge with 0.5 ml of 10 7 TCID 50 of CAIV - M, A/Shenzhen/227/95 (H1N1) - same lot of H1N1 as in CAIV-T for 1997-98 (Year 2) vaccine (5-8 months after Year 2 dose). Days 1-4, had NP Cxs obtained

26 26 AV011 - Efficacy Against Shedding Vaccine CAIV-M (H1N1)

27 27 AV009 - Adult Effectiveness Trial Healthy working adults, 18-64 years of age, randomized 2:1, FluMist  to placebo, to receive 1 dose of vaccine with 1997-98 vaccine strains: –A/Shenzhen/227/95 (H1N1) –A/Wuhan/359/95 (H3N2) –B/Harbin/7/94-like Vaccines could be self-administered or given by study personnel.

29 29 AV009 - Effectiveness Results

30 30 AV009 - Rate of AFI-Assoc. Events

31 31 AV003 - Wild-type Influenza Challenge in Adults To assess the efficacy post-challenge with wild-type influenza against laboratory- documented influenza illness in 18-42 yo: –FluMist  compared to placebo –FluMist  compared to TIV To assess safety and tolerability of FluMist  in adults serosusceptible to at least 1 of the strains in the vaccine

32 32 AV003 - Design: Definitions Laboratory-documented illness: –Symptoms (syxs) of influenza with: – shedding of wild-type influenza on one or more days and/or –> 4-fold rise in HAI antibody titers to the challenge virus from Days 28 to 56 Illness was defined as 2 consecutive days: –> 1 respiratory syx of moderate or greater severity OR –2 syxs of any severity

33 33 AV003 - Vaccines and Challenge Strains FluMist  - 1994-95 strains –A/Texas/36/91-like (H1N1) –A/Shangdong/9/93 (H3N2) –B/Panama/45/90 Trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) - Evans Medeva licensed, same strains Challenge - same strains, wild-type Placebos –intranasal  NAF in SPG –injection  Saline with 0.01% thimerosal

34 34 AV003 - Efficacy Against Laboratory- Documented Influenza Illness

35 35 AV007 - Lot Consistency Trial Performed to compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 doses (given 28-60 days apart) of 3 consistency lots of FluMist  in healthy children 12-36 months of age. Lot consistency: rule-out a > 4-fold range in post-dose 2 strain-specific HAI GMTs across lots with 95% confidence. 100 subjects per each study group.

36 36 AV007-Results: Post-Dose 2 HAI GMT Ratios Among Consistency Lots

37 37 AV014 - Manufacturing Bridging Prospective, randomized (3:2), double- blind trial to compare the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of FluMist  blended and filled at 2 facilities: Medeva and Aviron-PA. 2 co-primary objectives: –Seroconversion rate in seronegatives  differ by no more than 20%. –90% CI for GMT ratio within 1/4 & 4. 2 doses (28-42d apart) in healthy children 12-42 mos, performed in Australia.

38 38 AV014 - Post-Dose 2 to Baseline Percent Seroconversion

39 39 AV014 - Post-Dose 2 GMT Ratios in All Participants

40 40 Efficacy Conclusions Efficacy against culture-confirmed influenza illness was demonstrated after 1 or 2 doses in healthy children 15-71 mo in Yr 1 and after revaccination in Yr 2. Influenza-like illnesses occurred in children who shed CAIV strains post- vaccination. In adults, no significant  in AFI during influenza outbreak periods. No field efficacy data for H1N1.

64 64 AV012 - Texas Community Study 1 dose of FluMist  in children 18 mo - 18 years in Scott&White HMO in Texas to assess effectiveness against MAARI. For the BLA, SAEs within 42 days were reported (postcard reporting with reminder calls; database searches for 79% in HMO). Also, passive collection of parental reports of concerning AEs. 531 of 4298 subjects identified to have asthma, RAD or wheezing (not exclusion).

65 65 AV012 - Year 1: SAE and AEs 8 SAEs - 6 occurred > 21 days post-dose 149 of 4063 subjects with 42 day data had reported onset of > 1 new illnesses, and 87 events in 78 subjects were judged to be “clinically significant” and recorded on CRF and entered into the database. On FDA review of line listings, 65 were respiratory events with 10 diagnoses of pneumonia and/or bronchitis. Asthma subjects - analysis not complete.

66 66 AV010 - Asthma Study 48 subjects (FluMist  =24) 9-17 years with moderate to severe asthma were given 1 dose of study vaccine (FluMist  or placebo) and monitored for safety, tolerability and asthma stability for 35 days (7 pre and 28 post-vaccination).

67 67 AV010 - AE Profiles of Subjects

68 68 HIV-Infected Adults: Results 57 HIV-infected vs. 54 HIV-negative adults received FluMist vs. placebo (1:1). One HIV+ subject shed CAIV- type B. AEs - 15.8% in HIV+ vs. 11.8% in HIV neg. HIV+ subjects - 3 respiratory events. CD4  8% in HIV+ FluMist recipients at Day 28,  by Day 90. In HIV+, no  in viral load post- vaccination, followed for 6 months.

69 69 VA Study - SAE Reports Study synopsis in BLA. Evaluated 2215 adults > 50 years with COPD; received 1 dose of FluMist  or placebo (1:1 ratio) given concurrently with TIV. SAE reports were submitted in 3/01, included 63 deaths (FluMist  = 34 and placebo = 29). 8 deaths (4 in each group) within 28 days of vaccination.

70 70 Pediatric Pneumonia Cases

71 71 Other AEs - Pneumonia CBER review for pneumonia of all available data is ongoing. Of note: 1 death occurred due to pneumonia, 23 days post-dose 2 of FluMist  in an 18 month old boy in Wyeth-sponsored trial in South Africa. 1 pneumonia case was identified by CBER inspectors. Occurred 15 days post-dose 3 in 4.7 yo boy in AV006-Year 2 (parents reported to site 1 year later). 1 case assoc. with positive Cx for CAIV virus.

72 72 SAEs - Deaths 65 deaths were reported –63 in VA study. –1 accidental drowning, associated with alcohol intoxication. –1 due to pneumonia, as described.

73 73 Safety Conclusions Review is on-going. Review of respiratory events, including pneumonia and bronchitis, not complete. FluMist  and placebo (NAF) are reactogenic. Most safety data generated in healthy subjects. Few high-risk subjects; suggestion of  REs in asthmatics. No  in REs with annual dosing in children. Few subjects at ends of age spectrum.

74 74 Additional Concerns Concurrent Immunization –No data for efficacy or safety with concomitant immunizations, including traveler’s vaccines, in any age group. Transmissibility –Finnish trial in a daycare  shedding of CAIV strain in 1 of 99 placebo recipients. Annual Vaccination –No data for revaccination of adults.
