Clinical narrative: This subject is a 76 year old male, who died at home of carcinoma of unknown primary origin while enrolled in RSV11 study with RSV vaccine.

Other significant conditions were COPD, anorexia/malnutrition. The death was reported by the investigator as unrelated to the study vaccine. Further information has been requested. A 15-day follow report received 10/23/2003 adds: Additional info received 10/09/2003. Death occurred at home. Upon researching recent history, 4 additional hospitalizations, SAE's found unreported to site with some medical history and relevance to this will be forthcoming. Reference hospitalization SAE of 7/17-7/23/03 as last medical info available. Pt released in stable condition in care of hospice on 7/23/03. No further data available other than Discharge Summary of 7/23/03. Diagnosis: Carcinoma of UNK primary with ascites and pleural effusion. Cross Reference SAE hospitalization for CHF symptoms 01/05/2003. Hospital Discharge Summary: 07/17-07/23/2003. The pt presented to the Emergency Dept with mental status changes after taking 0.5 mg of Ativan also with a concomitant increase in his Duragesic patch to 50 micrograms. He was admitted for evaluation and continued treatment of his mental status changes and also due to some increase in his shortness of breath and dysphagia type symptoms. A therapeutic paracentesis was performed x2. Due to his dysphagia, speech therapy was consulted for a swallowing evaluation. A barium swallow showed a normal swallowing mechanism. Computed tomographic scan showed air in the esophagus, which was consistent with some sort of mass lesion in the mediastinum, although this was not apparent on the computed tomographic scan done previously. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy was consistent with mild esophagitis, otherwise was WNL without strictures or other obstructions seen. The pt continued to be at his baseline during his hospital stay with no definite etiology of the globus sensation, his dysphagia and swallowing difficulties that the pt was having. He was given no apparent etiology from an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, barium swallow or computed tomographic scan. After discussing the risks and benefits of total parental nutrition and ventral line, the pt declined that therapy at this time. The pt's medications were changed to add Megace, Morphine Sulfate as needed and the pt was instructed to call his Primary Care Provider if his symptoms returned for a repeat therapeutic paracentesis as well as other interventions as needed. Additional info received and available in source file: Medication Record: 10/29/2002-07/24/2003. Death Certificate: 08/17/2003. Discharge Summary: 07/17-07/23/2003.
