Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe respiratory disease in older adults (OAs). However, there is no approved vaccine against RSV disease in OAs. Co-administration of vaccines against RSV and influenza could be considered given their overlapping seasonality. Here, we assessed the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of an RSV prefusion F Older Adult (RSVPreF3 OA) investigational vaccine when co-administered with the seasonal quadrivalent influenza vaccine (FLU-QIV) in OAs. Methods In this Phase 3, open-label, controlled, multi-country study (NCT04841577), OAs aged ≥ 60 years recruited in New Zealand, Panama and South Africa were randomized 1:1 to receive either RSVPreF3 OA and FLU-QIV simultaneously on day 1 (Co-Ad group), or FLU-QIV on day 1 and RSVPreF3 OA on day 31 (Control group). The co-primary objectives were to demonstrate the non-inferiority of i) RSVPreF3 OA in terms of RSV-A neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers (GMT) ratio and ii) FLU-QIV in terms of hemagglutinin inhibition antibody GMT ratio for each Flu strain when co-administered versus when administered alone. Blood samples were collected from all participants pre vaccination and 1 month post vaccination. Non-inferiority was demonstrated if the upper limit (UL) of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the group GMT ratio (Control/Co-Ad) was ≤ 1.5. Secondary descriptive outcomes included reactogenicity and safety. Results 885 participants received at least 1 dose of the study interventions. Of these, 838 were included in the per protocol set at 1 month post vaccination. The demographic characteristics of the participants were similar across groups. The study co-primary objectives were met; for both vaccines, the UL of the 95% CI of the GMT ratio was ≤ 1.5 (Table 1). The observed safety events were balanced between Co-Ad and Control groups (Table 2). The reactogenicity profile of the Co-ad group compared with the Control group was driven by the RSVPreF3 OA investigational vaccine. Conclusion Our results support simultaneous seasonal vaccination with RSVPreF3 OA and FLU-QIV in adults ≥ 60 years, as co-administration elicits a statistically non-inferior immune response to the administration of each vaccine alone, with no safety concerns identified.
