These include bias and confounding, sample size considerations, access to these preventive products, access to health care and varying degrees of clinical testing of RSV, heterogeneity in case definitions, data availability and access to data, and challenges specific to certain target groups of RSV immunisation. While it is seldom possible to eliminate all potential challenges that threaten the feasibility or validity of an RSV impact study, many of them can be mitigated through careful choices at the study design level.

The PROMISE Consortium has developed two protocols for observational studies to assess preventive product (monoclonal antibody or vaccine) effectiveness: one using the test-negative design, the other, for cohort studies using electronic databases. These outputs are intended as generic protocols which can be adapted to specific settings and modified to account for local data availability.

The PROMISE Consortium has undertaken consultations with public health stakeholders about their data needs when getting ready to make decisions on the introduction of new RSV preventive products. The Consortium’s outputs that in particular have been subjected to external review are the evaluation of clinical endpoints in RSV studies and the generic product effectiveness study protocols. In conclusion, consultations with health authorities have resulted in important feedback. Given that many member states have not yet decided how RSV products will be assessed and that it will take time before PROMISE’s generic research protocols can be applied in practice, further consultations may be necessary in the future, possibly even during the remaining contract period of the PROMISE Consortium.

Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) will be developed and implemented on the EDC system. By using comprehensive data validation checks within these forms, only data of high quality will be submitted to the study database. The forms, integrated into the EDC system, will be easily accessible by a standard web browser. All study subjects will be identified with a participant identification code in order to safeguard the identity of the participants. The de-identified data will be stored on secure servers. Local teams will log patient identifiable data in a separate secure document to link the subject to the correct ID number noted on the eCRF. The system will meet all GCP and GDPR guidelines for electronic data collection in terms of protecting data integrity and securing the information collected.

Furthermore, the use of standardized endpoints helps determine the comparative cost-effectiveness of interventions in the society. We have reviewed endpoints used in previous clinical studies in the field of RSV and influenza and the strengths and limitations of each endpoint. This document is intended as a starting point for discussions between public health and private stakeholders and will feed into later PROMISE outputs, including study protocols. Future work (backed by a full systematic review of endpoints used in literature and stakeholder consultation) could classify endpoints further e.g., based on specificity and clinical relevance as well as pragmaticism and cost-efficiency of studying them.

The RSV Awareness week is a special week at the beginning of November, in which the RSV Patient Network draws attention to and creates awareness about RSV around the expected start of the RSV season (in countries with a temperate climate in the Northern hemisphere). This report gives an overview of the activities of the RSV Awareness Week 2021 and their impact. It examines the effectiveness of the different activities on our social media channels. Results from previous years are compared with the results of the RSV Awareness Week 2021, to highlight our current strengths and identify areas for improvement for future campaigns, including RSV Awareness Weeks. This report will ultimately help us expand our global reach during future RSV Awareness Weeks. This report demonstrated that the international results of the Awareness Week of 2021 gained a greater total reach, engagements and page visitors compared to the Awareness Week of 2019 and 2020. We can conclude that AW’21 was a great success as we have increased awareness through the increase in followers, reach and engagements.

Besides young age, prematurity and congenital cardiopulmonary disease are known risk factors for severe disease. However, most children admitted to the hospital with RSV are previously healthy. To identify those at risk for severe disease, biomarkers are needed. In the RESCEU case-control study we established biomarkers predictive of, or associated with, lower respiratory tract RSV infection and disease severity. In this follow-up study the detected biomarkers will be validated.
