•Purpose of randomized vaccine trials is to answer the question:Goal of randomized vaccine trials is different from that
of observational vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies
Clemens J, et. al. Evaluating New Vaccines for Developing Countries: Efficacy or Effectiveness? JAMA. 1996;275(5) 390 –397. doi:10.1001/jama.1996.03530290060038 “Can the vaccine reduce disease caused by the target infection, safely,
under ideal conditions designed to detect a protective effect?”
•To maximize chances of detecting a protective effect, vaccine trials often:
-Enroll healthy individuals in the target population
-Minimize or exclude enrollment of individuals with comorbidities that might reduce
immuno genicity of vaccines
•Post -licensure observational VE studies are needed to assess vaccine performance in a
heterogeneous population under routine vaccine program conditions

VE against RSV -associated hospitalization
among adults aged ≥60 years
IVY Network, October 1, 2023 –March 31, 2024
IVY Network —26 hospitals, 20 U.S. States
•Design : Test -negative, case -control design
•Analysis period : October 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024
•Population : Adults aged ≥60 years hospitalized with acute respiratory
illness (ARI)* and RSV test results within 10 days of illness onset and 3 days
of admission
•Cases : ARI and test positive for RSV by NAAT or antigen test
– Co-infections with SARS -CoV-2 or influenza were excluded
• Controls : ARI and test negative for vaccine -preventable respiratory
viruses, i.e., RSV, SARS -CoV-2 and influenza by RT -PCR†
•Vaccination data: Plausible self -report, e lectronic medical records (EMR),
state and city vaccine registries
•Vaccinated: Receipt of a single dose of either RSV vaccine (GSK or
Pfizer) ≥14 days before illness onset
•Unvaccinated : No RSV vaccination before illness onset
•Specimens: Nasal swabs obtained on all patients for central RT -PCR testing
and whole genome sequencing
*ARI is defined as presence of any one of the following: fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest imaging consistent with pne umo nia, or hypoxemia ( SpO2 <92% on room air or below baseline for chronic users)

Abbreviations : 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; IPVW = inverse probability of vaccination weighting; IQR = interquartile range
* Logistic regression m odels were adjusted for age, sex, race and ethnicity, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services region, and month of admission. VE was calculated as: (1 – adjusted odds ratio) x 100%.
† For the IPVW VE estimate, propensity for vaccination was modeled with a priori covariables, including age, sex, race and ethnicity, site, calendar month, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), underlying medical
conditions, long -term care facility residence, numbers of outpatient visits or hospitalizations in the previous year, and social vulnerability index (SVI) of community of residence. Weights were computed as the
inverse of the probability of vaccination. Only SVI remained unbalanced between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients after weigh ting and was included as a covariate in the final logistic regression model.GroupNo. of

Overall study design
▪Emulated a target randomized controlled trial of RSV vaccination (GSK [ Arexvy ] or Pfizer
[Abrysvo ]) compared with no RSV vaccination for the prevention of documented RSV infection and
RSV-associated ED/urgent care (UC) visits or hospitalization among Veterans ≥60 years
▪Enrollment: September 1 – December 31, 2023
▪Follow -up extended through March 31, 2024
▪Executed 4 monthly, nested sequential trials during the enrollment period
Nested sequential trial study design with matching
March 31, 2024
Abbreviations: CAN, Care Assessment Need; VISN, Veteran Integrated Service Network
* Cohort members who receive an RSV vaccine during a given trial month are no longer eligible for a subsequent trial month. C ohort members who remain unvaccinated,
alive, and who do not test positive for RSV through the end of a given trial month are eligible for a subsequent trial month.
† Follow -up begins on the day following the index date (date of RSV vaccination occurring anytime during a given trial month or same date for the matched unvaccinated
comparator) and extends until occurrence of the outcome, death, or end of the study period on March 31, 2024.

▪Outcomes
▪Primary outcome: Any positive RSV test result occurring from day 14 following the index date

▪RSV-associated emergency department (ED) or urgent care encounters (UC)†
▪RSV-associated acute hospitalizations†
▪Negative outcome control: incidence of laboratory -confirmed RSV infections 0 –13 days following
the index date
▪Vaccine effectiveness = (1 – hazard ratio) x 100
*Primary analysis is limited to matched groups in which patients did not have a positive RSV test result during days 0 –13 follow ing the index date.

†Defined as having at least one dialysis encounter (excluding acute kidney injury) in the 90 days preceding the index date. Pe rsons with end stage renal disease receiving dialysis are eligible for Medicare benefits, regardless of age.

immunodeficiency) within 183 days before the index date.
¶A single beneficiary can contribute follow -up time in multiple categories.
**Adjusted for sex, age group, race, social vulnerability index (SVI), 2022 -2023 influenza vaccination status, and Updated (2023 -2024 Formula) COVID -19 vaccination status. VE was calculated as (1 − adjusted hazard ratio) x 100%.
††Record of receipt of RSV vaccine dose versus no recorded receipt of RSV vaccine dose using administration codes listed on cla ims data. Beneficiaries were considered “vaccinated” ≥14 days after the date of vaccine dose
administration.
§§ Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) cell suppression policy limits the minimum cell size.
¶¶Some estimates are imprecise, which might be due to a relatively small number of persons in each level of vaccination or case status. This imprecision indicates that the actual VE could be substantially different from the point
estimate shown, and estimates should therefore be interpreted with caution.Medicare/ESRD: VE against RSV -associated hospitalization* among adults aged ≥65

Limitations of observational VE studies
•RSV vaccine uptake in these study populations was 5 –10%
-Early adopters of new vaccines may have different healthcare -seeking behaviors than the general population,
which could bias VE estimates upward*
•Multivariable adjustment and inverse -probability -of-vaccination -weighting were used
to minimize bias, but residual bias from unmeasured confounding may remain
•Definitions of immunocompromise varied across studies and studies were not powered
to assess VE for specific types of immunosuppression
•Median duration since RSV vaccination in these studies was 3 –4 months, which is
insufficient follow -up time to determine duration of RSV vaccine effectiveness beyond a
season
* Sullivan SG, et. al. Am J Epidemiol. 2016;184(5):345 –353.
•Under real -world conditions, RSV vaccination (GSK or Pfizer) provided protection
against severe RSV disease among US adults aged ≥60 years in this first season of use
•These results build on those from RSV vaccine trials in two ways:
-Provide evidence of VE against RSV -associated ED visits, hospitalizations, and critical illness
-Demonstrate protection in a population that more closely represents those at high -risk of
severe RSV disease, including
•Adults aged 75 years or older
•Adults with a composite of various immunocompromising conditions
•Adults with underlying conditions, especially cardiopulmonary disease
•Ongoing monitoring of RSV VE is needed to confirm findings from this season and
assess durability of RSV vaccine protectionConclusions

Test-negative Design (TND)
•Advantage of TND compared with traditional
case -control or cohort analyses
-Efficiency in enrolling cases and controls from the

-Reduces selection bias due to healthcare -seeking

¶ Each RSV -vaccinated patient was matched to up to 4 unvaccinated, equally weighted patients, resulting in 50% of matched persons having an RSV vaccination. Among match -eligible patients, 4.5% received RSV vaccination.
** Of 265 RSV vaccinated patients in IVY, 226 (85%) had known product type, which is used as the denominator for these percentag es.This slide was presented at ACIP on June 26, 2024, and contains errata (highlighted).
