Hear one patient’s experience with RSV.

Video transcript

On Screen Text

RSV infection in older adults typically causes mild cold-like symptoms including runny nose, sore throat, cough, and headache. But in older adults it can progress to more severe disease involving the lower respiratory tract.

Tom is a patient advocate and survivor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This is his experience; others' experiences with RSV may be different. Tom is not a healthcare provider. He was compensated by GSK for his participation in this program.

Tom

I realize that the first thing we do in life is take an in breath and the last thing that we do in life is have an out breath. It's very important that we be aware of our breathing. I had no idea RSV could affect older adults like me the way that it did.

Tom’s RSV Story

Tom

My wife and I built a house on a little farm that my daughter owns and began spending a good amount of time with my two grandsons. When I was taking the boys to school, the younger of the two had been coughing a lot. We thought that, you know, it was probably the flu or a severe cold. Next thing you know, I'm coughing, and it just kept getting worse and worse, and I felt like I had something in my lungs. And so, for me, I've always been able to, like, cough something loose. It didn't matter how hard I coughed, the feeling was still there. It was horrible. After several days, my daughter suggested that I go in and have somebody see what was going on. When I first went to the doctor, the test that they gave me was a nasal swab, and that is the test that determined that I had RSV. He explained to me that adults can get it, but the adults who seem to be affected by it the most are the elderly. I guess I never thought of myself as being elderly, but I was told that was the reason that I was having such a bad case of it.

Lower Third Text

RSV is usually mild, though in older adults, it can sometimes be severe.

Tom

The doctor told me that there was no specific treatment for RSV. He told me that there might be medications that would be able to treat my symptoms. After being diagnosed with RSV, I mentioned it to my daughter, who told me that my grandson had been tested and his test came back positive that he in fact had RSV as well. I'm used to doing things outside, and I basically didn't have any energy at all. I felt like I wanted to take a nap when I got up in the morning and just didn't have any energy to do much of anything.

Lower Third Text

Most RSV infections go away on their own in a week or two.

Tom

I was thankful that after a few days of treatment I began to realize that my lungs were feeling better, and apparently the treatment was helping me. I would certainly hope that my RSV experience would allow others to be aware that if a cough-induced breathing issue arises don't risk not getting checked out. Go see your physician and have it diagnosed.

Indication.

AREXVY is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus in individuals 60 years of age and older.

Important Safety Information.

AREXVY is contraindicated in anyone with a history of a severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of AREXVY.

Appropriate medical treatment and supervision must be available to manage possible anaphylactic reactions following administration of AREXVY.

Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including AREXVY. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.

Immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to AREXVY.

The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥10%) were injection site pain (60.9%), fatigue (33.6%), myalgia (28.9%), headache (27.2%), and arthralgia (18.1%).

Vaccination with AREXVY may not result in protection of all vaccine recipients.

RSV poses a real risk to older adults.

Older adults are at increased risk for severe RSV infection, including those with certain underlying conditions.

RSV infection usually presents as mild disease with cold-like symptoms but can become more severe and affect the lower respiratory tract.

In the study that evaluated the efficacy of AREXVY, RSV-LRTD, or respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract disease, was defined based on the following criteria: the participant must have experienced at least 2 lower respiratory symptoms or signs, including at least 1 lower respiratory sign for at least 24 hours, or experienced at least 3 lower respiratory symptoms for at least 24 hours.

A severe RSV-associated LRTD was defined as an RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-associated LRTD with at least 2 lower respiratory signs or as an RT-PCR-confirmed RSV-associated LRTD episode preventing normal, everyday activities. Lower respiratory symptoms included new or increased sputum, new or increased cough, and new or increased dyspnea. Lower respiratory signs included new or increased wheezing, crackles or rhonchi, respiratory rate ≥20 respirations per minute, low or decreased oxygen saturation, and need for oxygen supplementation.

Now, let’s break down the efficacy of AREXVY for other endpoints.

AREXVY’s vaccine efficacy was similar against the RSV A and RSV B subtypes for RSV-LRTD with 84.6% and 80.9%, respectively.

For severe RSV-LRTD, AREXVY was 94.1% effective. Severe RSV-associated LRTD was defined as an RT-PCR–confirmed RSV-associated LRTD with at least 2 lower respiratory signs, or as an RT-PCR–confirmed RSV-associated LRTD episode preventing normal, everyday activities.

Vaccine efficacy was 81% against RSV-LRTD in participants aged 60 to 69 years and 93.8% in participants aged 70 to 79 years.

Vaccine efficacy for participants aged 80 years and older could not be concluded due to too few cases accrued.

It’s now time to discuss how to prepare and administer AREXVY.

Text on screen

DOSING AND ADMINISTRATION

Audio

Before we start the reconstitution process, let’s begin by talking about the 2 components of AREXVY.

AREXVY is supplied in 2 vials that must be reconstituted prior to administration. One vial contains the adjuvant suspension component that is a liquid. Another vial contains the lyophilized antigen component that is a powder.

Prepare AREXVY by reconstituting the lyophilized antigen component (a sterile white powder) with the accompanying adjuvant suspension component (an opalescent, colorless to pale brownish sterile liquid). Use only the supplied adjuvant suspension component for reconstitution. The reconstituted vaccine should be an opalescent, colorless to pale brownish liquid. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. If either of these conditions exists, the vaccine should not be administered.
