1 1 FluMist  Influenza Virus Vaccine, Live, Intranasal (Cold Adapted, Trivalent) MedImmune Inc. VRBPAC – Dec 17, 2002 FDA Introduction ChrisAnna M. Mink, MD

2 2 FluMist  - The Product FluMist  Influenza Virus Vaccine, Trivalent A and B contains 3 strains of live attenuated, cold-adapted, temperature sensitive influenza viruses: two type A (H1N1 and H3N2) and one type B. 0.5ml dose contains 10 7 TCID 50 of each of the 3 strains in normal allantoic fluid (NAF).

3 3 FluMist  - Regulatory Time Course

4 4 Regulatory History Sponsor’s changes in indications sought: –Proposed age indication for healthy individuals: 12 mos – 64 years10/2000 (original) 60 mos – 64 years 11/2002 (current) –Request for an indication for travelers to areas where influenza viruses are circulating has been removed VRBPAC July 2001 - unresolved concerns

5 5 VRBPAC 2001 – Efficacy Vote for Children and Adolescents Vote for efficacy data for supporting indication for 1 year -17 years of age: –“Yes” n=8 and “no” n=7 –5 of 7 voting “no” stated would vote yes if request was starting at older age, e.g., 15 - 24 mo.

6 6 VRBPAC 2001 – Expressed Concerns for Efficacy in Children and Adolescents Expressed concerns included: –Few subjects < 2 years –No concurrent immunization data –No A/H1N1 field efficacy data –Extrapolating data for children 7 – 17 years

7 7 VRBPAC 2001 – Efficacy Vote and Expressed Concerns for Use in Adults Vote for adult indication, 18 - 64 years: “Yes” n=13 and “no” n=2 Expressed concerns included: –Few subjects > 50 years of age –Defining “healthy” recipients –No re-vaccination data –No concomitant immunization data –Use of clinical endpoints (effectiveness) not confirmed with influenza cultures (efficacy)

8 8 VRBPAC 2001 – Safety Vote and Expressed Concerns for All Ages Vote for safety data for 1-64 years of age: “Yes” n=5 and “no” n=9 Expressed concerns included: –Final data for some critical studies not yet submitted to CBER –Possible association of FluMist  with adverse respiratory events including pneumonia and asthma/wheezing

9 9 VRBPAC 2001 – Safety Vote and Expressed Concerns, continued –Occurrence of other AEs post-vaccination –Few subjects in extreme age groups ( 50 years) –No concomitant immunization data –Paucity of transmissibility data –Possibility of reassortment (including with wild type influenza) and the risk of reversion of the attenuated strains

10 10 Current Indication Being Sought Active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A and B viruses in healthy children, adolescents, and adults from 5 years ( > 6 0 months) - 64 years of age. –2 dose regimen (60 + 14 days apart) for 1st use for children 5 years - 8 years of age. –1 dose for > 9 years - 64 years of age.

11 11 VRBPAC - 2002 With consideration for the revised age indication and availability of final dataset, a review of efficacy and effectiveness data and additional safety analyses of FluMist  will be presented for the Committee’s deliberations.

12 12 Question #1 – Safety (Vote) 1a. Are the data adequate to support safety of FluMist  for individuals: 5 – 17 years of age? 18 – 49 years of age? 50 – 64 years of age? Please consider data related to: Respiratory events, e.g. asthma and URI Shedding and transmission of vaccine strains following receipt of FluMist  Annual revaccination 1b. If the data are not adequate for specific age groups or there are other safety concerns, please discuss what additional data should be requested.

13 13 Question #2 – Efficacy (Vote) 2a. Are the data adequate to support efficacy of FluMist in individuals: 5 – 17 years of age? 18 – 49 years of age? 50 – 64 years of age? 2b. If the data are not adequate for specific age groups, please discuss what additional data should be requested.

14 14 Discussion Point #3 Clinical Studies for Release of New Strains Please comment on the design and endpoints for the clinical study performed in adults for the release of new strains.

15 15 Discussion Point #4 Additional Studies If the data are adequate to support safety and efficacy, please discuss what additional information, if any, should be requested from post-marketing studies?

42 42 Study AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Years 1 and 2

43 43 AV012 –Texas HMO Trial: Design Design  Open-label, non-randomized Subjects  children 18 mo – 18 years –History of mild asthma permitted Vaccine  single dose given in each year Planned to assess herd immunity of FluMist , safety monitoring as secondary objective Several limitations for the design Presenting only safety data from Years 1 and 2 Contributes safety experience following 9549 doses in 7448 children

44 44 AV012 –Texas HMO Trial: Design Revised plan for safety assessments (implemented after trial initiated): SAEs for 42 days post-vaccination  primary measure of safety –Captured by postcard reporting or database searches Medically attended acute respiratory illness (MAARI)  secondary measure of safety –Captured by database searches Overall MAARI Selected respiratory events, including asthma

45 45 AV012 – Revised Analysis Plan Data analysis of MAARI events used a post- marketing method (Griffin et al, 1990, 1991) Each participant served as own control: event rates within a specified vaccination period compared to event rates within a reference period Two Vaccination Periods: –Days 0 - 14 –Days 0 - 42 Single Reference Period was constructed by combining pre-vaccination period and the post- vaccination period

46 46 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Years 1 and 2 - Results Enrolled – Year 1 (8/17/98 – 1/30/99) –N = 4298 –Asthma history ~13% Enrolled – Year 2 (9/13/99 – 2/10/00) –N = 5251 –Asthma history ~17% –40% (n=2101) re-vaccinees

47 47 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Years 1 and 2 – SAE Results No deaths reported Year 1 –8 SAEs in 4131 evaluable subjects, 0.2% –6 of 8 SAEs occurred beyond Day 21 Day 3 – hospitalization for depression in 16 year old Day 21 – “aseptic meningitis” in 7 year old

48 48 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Years 1 and 2 – SAE Results Year 2 –16 SAEs (all hospitalizations) reported in 15 of the 5033 evaluable subjects, 0.3% –9 of 16 occurred on or Day 21 –2 SAEs were related to respiratory tract: Day 11 – RSV pneumonitis and febrile seizure in 23 month old Day 44 – pneumonia in ~ 4 year old

49 49 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial MAARI Results Year 1 –No  RR for overall MAARI for either Vaccination Period (Days 0-14 or Days 0-42) Year 2 –  RR for MAARI events for Day 0-14 Period (RR=1.12, 90% CI: 1.00, 1.25) –  RR for MAARI events for Day 0-42 Period (RR=1.13, 90% CI: 1.03, 1.24)

50 50 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial: Asthma Events Rate of asthma events was ~ 1% for all participants in each Year 1 and Year 2 Year 1 –No  RR for asthma events for either Vaccination Period (Days 0-14 or Days 0-42) Year 2 –No  RR for asthma events for Day 0-14 Vaccination Period –  RR for asthma events for Day 0-42 Vaccination Period: RR = 1.83 (90% CI: 1.26, 2.67)

51 51 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Limitations Not randomized or blinded No control group for statistical comparisons Method used for data analysis may be problematic for pre-licensure safety evaluations MAARI for safety not prospectively defined Differences in MAARI rates observed in Year 1 and Year 2

52 52 AV012 - Texas HMO Trial Conclusions 7448 subjects received 9549 doses of FluMist  (37% of total 1 st doses) Rates of SAEs captured was 0.2-0.3%, similar to rate in AV019 No reported rare events, potentially-related to wild type influenza infection  RR for MAARI observed in some analyses

53 53 Comparison of AV012 and AV019 Rates of asthma events 0.5% - 1.5% among FluMist  recipients in both trials Marked differences between designs of 2 trials: –Open – label vs. randomized, blinded and controlled –Monitoring methods –Study populations (asthma history) –FluMist formulations –Geographic locations, calendar years

54 54 Asthma/Wheezing: Review of 20 Trials in BLA Overlap in diagnoses of asthma, reactive airway disease (RAD), wheezing and shortness of breath (SOB) Across 20 studies, 82 - 88% of asthma/RAD/wheezing/SOB events and 74 - 83% of asthma/RAD occurred in children 1 - 9 years of age (50% of total study population) Asthma events occurred throughout 42 day post-vaccination period

55 55 Serious Adverse Events – Asthma/Wheezing Review of 20 Trials in BLA 4 hospitalizations for asthma/RAD/wheezing/SOB events: –AV006 – Year 2  23 mo for status asthmaticus on Day 8 after Dose 3 of FluMist –AV008  69 yo with heart disease, wheezing, and CHF on Day 16 post-FluMist  –AV002  2 hospitalizations for RAD on Day 4 and Day 33 in placebo subject with history of asthma

56 56 Asthma/RAD/Wheezing/SOB Events – Relative Risk in Protocol-Defined Age Groups in Three Pivotal Trials

57 57 Asthma/Wheezing - Summary Analyses by age sub groups in AV019: –12-59 months (post hoc, 6-month increments) –18-35 months (pre-defined) AV019 major contributor of children < 9 years in database (78%), thus review over 20 studies c/w results in AV019 Study AV010 (enrolled 9 – 17 year old subjects with moderate to severe wheezing) –3/24 FluMist and 0/24 placebo recipients had exacerbations in 32 days post-vaccination Concern on-going for risk of asthma/wheezing events in young children and subjects with history of asthma

58 58 Wyeth-Lederle Vaccines (WLV)-Sponsored Trial D145-P500 Assessment of Transmissibility of CAIV-T (FluMist  ) in Daycare Attendees

59 59 D145-P500 – Transmission Study Randomized (1:1), double-blind trial to assess shedding and transmission of FluMist  (CAIV-T) influenza strains in daycare attendees, 8 – 36 months of age Subjects eligible if: –Attended daycare > 3 times/week for > 4 hours/day –> 4 contacts in play group with at least one CAIV-T vaccinee

60 60 D145-P500 – Transmission Study: Design 1 dose of CAIV-T or placebo Nasal swabs  Day 0, 1 and 3 alternating days per week through Day 21 Isolated vaccine viruses were typed (A or B), subtyped (H1N1 or H3N2), phenotyped (ca and ts) and genotyped (subset) Original primary objective  % placebo subjects shedding virus, identified as vaccine strain Sponsor’s post hoc analysis  probability that a vaccinee will infect a placebo subject (Reed-Frost Model)

61 61 D145-P500 – Results: Shedding 197 subjects (FluMist = 98, placebo = 99) enrolled from 51 daycare centers –typical playgroup  2 CAIV-T and 2 placebo All available shedding population (n=197) 78 (80%) CAIV-T recipients shed at least 1 strain of vaccine virus: –43 shed type A –72 shed type B –6 shed types A and B –6 shed all 3 types –13 shed viruses, not able to be subtyped or genotyped (6 type A and 7 type B)

62 62 Study D145-P500 – Duration of Shedding of Influenza Viruses for FluMist  Recipients (N=98)

63 63 D145-P500 – Results: Transmission Placebo subjects: –All available, n=93 –All evaluable, n=57 (no protocol violations) Viruses recovered from 7 placebo subjects: –1 subject shed type B/Ann Arbor, vaccine strain on Day 15 –6 subjects shed a total of 9 type A isolates 2 subjects shed wild type isolates on 2 different days (n=4 isolates) 4 subjects shed a total of 5 isolates that could not be identified

64 64 D145-P500 – Subject with Transmitted Type B Vaccine Virus Placebo subject shed type B/Ann Arbor, vaccine strain on Day 15 (negative cultures on other days) Had contact with 2 CAIV-T recipients who were shedding type B B/Ann Arbor detected 5 days after last day of identified shedding by vaccinees Subject had coryza Days 8-18, cough on Days 8 and 9 and irritability Days 0, 14, 17

65 65 D145-P500 – Results: Probability of Transmission (Original Analysis) Including isolates identified as vaccine virus (n=1, type B) among 57 eligible placebo subjects, rate of transmission: 1/57 [Rate = 1.75% (95% CI: 0.1%, 8.75%)] All available transmission (n=93), assuming all subjects with unidentified isolates had vaccine strain (n=5, 1 type B + 4 type A), rate of transmission: 5/93 [Rate = 5.38% (95% CI: 2.6%, 10.4%)]

66 66 D145-P500: Genotype of Selected Shed Isolates Consensus genomic sequences of isolates from all placebo and subset of FluMist  recipients and the relevant viral harvest strains for the vaccine formulation used in the trial were compared B/Ann Arbor transmitted isolate had 3 nucleotide changes 55 of 237 isolates from FluMist subjects were tested, nucleotide changes were found in: –16/21 (76%) A/H1N1 –11/12 (92%) A/H3N2 –17/22 (77%) B

67 67 D145-P500 – Results: Genotype and Phenotype Nucleotide changes were not random –Type A (H1N1 combined with H3N2): occurred in PB1, PB2, NP and M genes –Type B: occurred in the M gene All tested isolates (n=55) maintained attenuated cold-adapted (ca) and temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotype Evaluation of retention of attenuation of the shed viruses in animal model is on-going

68 68 D145-P500 - Conclusions Several limitations for this trial, e.g., small sample, many protocol violations Shedding of vaccine strains was frequent (~80%) and lasted through Day 21 Transmission occurred, estimate crude rate Recovered vaccine viruses had a high frequency of nucleotide changes: –ca and ts phenotype markers retained –not random but clinical significance not known (evaluation of attentuation on-going)

69 69 Additional Assessments of Shedding Routine Cultures (performed in 4 trials) –196 of 569 (~ 34.5%) subjects shed vaccine virus identified from routine cultures post- vaccination Days 0 – 10 Illness Cultures –40 of 290 (13.8%) FluMist  subjects with illnesses post-vaccination shed an influenza virus on culture obtained Days 0-10 20 of these 40 isolates were tested (genotype/phenotype) and proved to be vaccine strain

70 70 Genotype and Phenotype Stability of Strains Recovered from Ill Subjects Of the 20 vaccine strains isolated from ill FluMist  subjects, none were reported to have altered ca or ts phenotype Reassortment of vaccine strains and wild type influenza strains not identified in circumstances when wild type strains (A/H3N2 and B) were known to circulate

71 71 Selected Data for Post-Vaccination Solicited Reactogenicity Events in Children (AV006) and Adults (AV009)

72 72 Solicited Reactogenicity Events (REs) Included runny nose/nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, irritability, headache, chills, myalgia, decreased activity and fever Solicited for 10 days in AV006 and 7 days in AV009

73 73 AV006 Year 1 – Percent of Subjects with Selected REs by Group and Dose

74 74 AV006 - Year 2: Solicited REs following Re-Vaccination with FluMist  In Year 2  no statistically significant differences for REs between the FluMist  and placebo groups Rates of REs  similar in subjects who received 1 or 2 doses in Year 1 Runny nose/congestion (~ 42%) and cough (~ 24%) were most common REs in both treatment groups

75 75 AV009 – Percent of Subjects with REs by Study Group for 18 – 64 Years

76 76 Summary Post-Vaccination Reactogenicity Between FluMist  and placebo (NAF) groups, significant differences were observed for: –Runny nose and low-grade fever for children –Runny nose and sore throat for adults REs occurred commonly (> 60%) in both treatment groups in children and adults No solicited RE data for 7 – 17 year olds No apparent differences in RE rates by age group, < 50 years and 50 – 64 years of age Most safety data generated in healthy subjects

77 77 Additional Concerns from VRBPAC July 2001

97 97 AV011 – A/H1N1 Challenge Study Primary Objective: –To compare viral shedding of vaccine strain CAIV-M (A/H1N1) in previous FluMist  recipients vs. previous placebo recipients Subset of AV006 subjects (N=222, ~20 per site) challenged with A/Shenzhen/227/95 (H1N1) 5 - 8 mo after Year 2 vaccination; same lot of H1N1 as Year 2 vaccine; then assessed viral shedding on Days 1 - 4 Results  82.9% (60.2, 92.7) protection against shedding of vaccine strain CAIV-M

98 98 AV009 - Adult Effectiveness Trial Healthy working adults, 18-64 years of age, randomized 2:1, to receive one dose of FluMist  or placebo Primary effectiveness objective  to show a smaller proportion of FluMist  compared to placebo recipients had any febrile illness (AFI) during influenza outbreaks

99 99 AV009 – Selected Secondary Endpoints and Analyses Several additional secondary endpoints, including: –Severe Febrile Illness (SFI), –Febrile URI (FURI), –CDC-Influenza-like Illness (CDC-ILI) Comparison of effectiveness for subjects 40 years (prospective) Comparison of effectiveness for subjects 50 years (post-hoc)

100 100 AV009 – Effectiveness against Illnesses during Influenza Outbreaks in Subjects 18-64 Years of Age

101 101 AV009 - Rates of AFI-Associated Events in Total Study Cohort, 18-64 Years

102 102 AV009 – Number of Subjects Enrolled, by Age Group

103 103 AV009 – Percent Reduction in Occurrence of Illness Categories for Subjects 40 Years

104 104 AV009 – Percent Reduction (95% CI) in Occurrence of Illness Categories for Subjects < 50 Years and 50 – 64 Years

105 105 AV009 – Percent Reduction (FluMist  vs. Placebo) in Illness-Associated Outcomes for Subjects 50 Years and 50 – 64 Years of Age For AFI, SFI, FURI and CDC-ILI subjects 50 – 64 years of age compared to subjects < 50 years, had significantly greater reductions illness-associated events for: –Missed worked days –Antibiotic use –HCP visits

106 106 AV003 - Wild-type Influenza Challenge in Adults Efficacy objective: –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

107 107 AV003 - Design: Definitions Laboratory-documented illness: –Symptoms of influenza with: Shedding of wild-type influenza and/or > 4-fold rise in HAI antibody titers to the challenge virus

108 108 AV003 - Efficacy Against Laboratory- Documented Influenza Illness, All Strains Combined

109 109 Efficacy Conclusions Efficacy against culture-confirmed influenza illness demonstrated after 1 or 2 doses in healthy children 15 to 72 mo in Year 1 and after revaccination in Year 2 Efficacy demonstrated for children in subgroup of 60 months to 72 months in AV006. These are the only efficacy data for children 60 months to 17 years No field efficacy data for A/H1N1

110 110 Effectiveness Conclusions Effectiveness not demonstrated in healthy working adults, 18 years - 64 years against the primary endpoint of AFI Effectiveness observed against SFI, FURI and CDC-ILI (post-hoc) Post-hoc analyses for > 50 – 64 years, no decrease in AFI, SFI, FURI or CDC-ILI Efficacy against culture-confirmed influenza not assessed in adults

111 111 Safety Conclusions 14,154 individuals ages 60 months – 64 years vaccinated with FluMist  Few subjects > 50 years Increased risk of asthma events in children 12 - 59 months (AV019) post- vaccination; not observed in subjects > 60 months No increased risk for pneumonia events SAEs reported < 1% of subjects
