Noninferior Immunogenicity and Consistent Safety of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prefusion F Protein Vaccine in Adults 50-59 Years Compared to ≥60 Years of Age.

Background: The adjuvanted respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVPreF3 OA) is approved in adults aged ≥60 years. We evaluated RSVPreF3 OA immunogenicity and safety in adults aged 50-59 years without or with increased risk for RSV disease due to specific chronic medical conditions.

Methods: This observer-blind, phase 3, noninferiority trial included adults aged 50-59 years, stratified into 2 subcohorts: those with and those without predefined, stable, chronic medical conditions leading to an increased risk for RSV disease.

Nalmefene, Given as Needed, in the Routine Treatment of Patients with Alcohol Dependence: An Interventional, Open-Label Study in Primary Care.

Aims: This 12-week, open-label, primary care study (NCT02195817) evaluated the efficacy and safety of nalmefene, taken as needed, to reduce alcohol consumption in adults with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence and drinking at least at high drinking risk levels (DRL, > 60 g/day for men, > 40 g/day for women).

Methods: Following the Screening Visit, patients recorded their daily alcohol consumption for 2 weeks. Patients were then categorised by their self-reported drinking levels; those who maintained at least a high DRL in the 2-week period were included in Cohort-A, and those who reduced their alcohol consumption below high DRL were included in Cohort-B.
