Conditions: Respiratory Syncytial Viruses
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 7
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine in hospitalized infants and children who are infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) the dose-response relationship of multiple regimens of lumicitabine on antiviral activity based on nasal RSV shedding using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Detailed description:
RSV is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants. Most infants and children who get RSV recover fully after 1-2 weeks, but RSV infection can sometimes worsen and may lead to hospitalization and admission into an intensive care unit. The main purpose of this study is to learn how well the study drug (lumicitabine, also known as JNJ-64041575 or ALS-008176) works, how the human body handles the study drug, which dose of the study drug is effective for treatment of RSV infection in infants/children and how safe it is compared to a placebo (placebo looks just like lumicitabine \[given in same way\] but has no effect against RSV). Approximately up to 180 participants aged between 28 days to 36 months and hospitalized with RSV infection will take part in this world-wide study.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants will receive a single 40 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) loading dose (LD) (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg maintenance doses (MDs) (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine twice daily up to Day 5/6. arm 2: Participants will receive a single 60 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 40 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine twice daily up to Day 5/6. arm 3: Participants will receive either a single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg maintenance dose (MDs) (Doses 2 to 10) of placebo twice daily or single 60 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 40 mg/kg placebo MDs (Doses 2 to 10), twice daily up to Day 5/6.

Interventions: intervention 1: Lumicitabine intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Participants will receive oral administration of lumicitabine. intervention 2: Participants will receive oral administration of matching placebo.

PROTOCOL AMENDMENT
Amendment 1 (This document)
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 10(a) of 
Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
The overall reason for the amendment: The overall reason for the amendment was to remove furosemide, 
ibuprofen, and trimethoprim/sulfametoxazole from the list of prohibited moderate/strong inhibitors of organic 
anion transporter (OAT) 3.
The table below gives an overview of the rationale for each change and all applicable sections.
Rationale: A clinical drug-drug interaction study (Study 64041575RSV1002) between probenecid (strong OAT3 
inhibitor) and lumicitabine showed that probenecid increased the maximum concentration and area under the 
concentration-time curve (AUC) from the time of drug administration to the time of the last observation of 
JNJ-63549109 by 1.28-fold and 1.74-fold, respectively. Based on these data, together with pharmacokinetic 
(PK)/pharmacodynamic modeling data, furosemide, ibuprofen, and trimethoprim/sulfametoxazole were removed 
from the list of prohibited moderate/strong inhibitors of OAT3 as the expected increase on JNJ-63549109 AUC
caused by these drugs was less than 26%, a very mild increase deemed acceptable based on expected exposures 
using popPK modeling and simulation.
8 PRESTUDY AND CONCOMITANT THERAPY
Rationale: No food intake information with regard to study drug administration will be collected for discharged 
subjects due to the minimal impact of food intake on trough levels (PK sample at Day 7).
SYNOPSIS
TIME AND EVENTS SCHEDULE: AFTER HOSPITAL DISCHARGE
6 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
9.1.3 Double-blind Treatment Phase
Rationale: Only leftover samples from nasal swabs and PK testing, but not from laboratory safety testing 
(hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) may be used for exploratory biomarker analyses.
SYNOPSIS
TIME AND EVENTS SCHEDULE: DURING HOSPITALIZATION (up to discharge)
TIME AND EVENTS SCHEDULE: AFTER HOSPITAL DISCHARGE

SYNOPSIS
A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Antiviral Activity, 
Clinical Outcomes, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered 
Lumicitabine (JNJ-64041575) Regimens in Hospitalized Infants and Children Aged 28 Days to 36 
Months Infected with Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Lumicitabine (also known as JNJ-64041575 or ALS-008176) is a 3’,5’-bisisobutyrate prodrug, which is 
rapidly converted to the cytidine nucleoside analog, JNJ-63549109 (also known as ALS-008112). Inside 
cells, JNJ-63549109 is subsequently converted to its nucleoside triphosphate (NTP), JNJ-65409136 (also 
known as ALS-008136). This NTP is a potent and selective inhibitor of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) 
ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activity via a classic chain termination mechanism. JNJ-64167896
(also known as ALS-008144), the uridine metabolite of JNJ-63549109, is the inactive major metabolite 
detected in systemic circulation.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017

Medical resource utilization.

RSV infectious viral load as measured using a quantitative viral culture (plaque assay).

RSV viral load as measured by qRT-PCR of mid-turbinate nasal swabs and endotracheal samples in 
intubated subjects.
Hypothesis
The primary hypothesis of this study is that there is a positive dose-response relationship of active 
treatment on the average RSV viral load AUC over 7 days, meaning that either the average AUC on the 
pooled active treatments is lower than on placebo, or the average AUC on the high dose is lower than the 
average AUC on placebo, using multiple contrast testing.
OVERVIEW OF STUDY DESIGN
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of lumicitabine in hospitalized 
infants and children who are infected with RSV.
The selection of the design of this study (Option A or Option B) will be based on the number of subjects 
randomized and on the IDMC review of the data from the currently ongoing Study ALS-8176-503 of the 
subjects treated with 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine dose regimen:

Option A:
This study design will be chosen if ≥9 subjects are randomized to the 
40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects in total) 
and if the IDMC recommends using the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen based on 
their review of the data from Study ALS-8176-503. Based on the data available at the time of 
protocol writing, 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD is the most likely dose regimen the IDMC will 
recommend. Option A will use the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD as the low lumicitabine dose and the 
60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD (based on IDMC recommendation) as the high lumicitabine dose.

Option B:
This study design will be chosen if <9 subjects are randomized to the 
40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (<12 subjects in total) 
and thus no IDMC-recommended dose will be available at the start of the study. Option B will use 
the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD as the low lumicitabine dose. This study design option may also be 
selected once ≥9 subjects are randomized to the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in 
Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects in total) if:
o
Sponsor determines that additional doses should be evaluated.
o
IDMC-recommended lumicitabine dose is lower than the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD 
lumicitabine regimen.
Option A
Hospitalized infants and children who are infected with RSV will be randomly assigned to a treatment 
regimen in this study, with 60 subjects planned per regimen. At least 120 subjects are planned to be 
enrolled up to a maximum of 180 subjects. An effort will be made to enroll at least 90 subjects aged 
between 28 days and 24 months and at least 12 subjects aged between 24 and 36 months. The number of 
subjects with comorbidities will be limited to 20%; additional comorbid subjects aged between 24 and 
36 months may be allowed to enroll if the 20% threshold is reached before 12 subjects aged between 
24 and 36 months are enrolled into the study.
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Regimen A, B, or C:

Regimen A (low-dose lumicitabine): a single 40 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017

Regimen B (high-dose lumicitabine): a single 60 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
40 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Regimen C (placebo):those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized in a 
1:1 ratio (to match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10), 
administered twice daily.
o
A single 60 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 40 mg/kg placebo MDs (Doses 2 
to 10), administered twice daily.
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of randomization 
(≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid condition for severe 
RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at 
randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down 
syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis). Recruitment of subjects with comorbidities will 
not be allowed if the data of the highest dose regimen of lumicitabine have not yet been reviewed by the 
IDMC.
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase, a treatment phase from Day 1 to Day 5/6 
(depending on the timing of the LD), and a follow-up phase ending 28 days post randomization. 
Screening for eligible subjects will be performed as soon as possible following admission to the 
emergency room (ER) or hospitalization, such that subjects are randomized within 5 days of RSV 
symptom onset. Special attention will be paid to determine the duration of RSV symptoms from onset till 
time of randomization as accurately as possible. Subjects will have assessments completed during 
hospitalization and at the Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28 visits. For hospitalized subjects, additional 
assessments are done compared with subjects who have already been discharged. The duration of the 
subject’s participation will be approximately 28 days, screening period not included. The study will be 
considered completed with the last visit for the last subject participating in the study.
An unblinded IDMC will be commissioned for this study and a Sponsor Committee will be established. 
The IDMC will review the safety and PK data initially once the first 12 subjects and 30 subjects have 
completed treatment (Day 5/6) to assess if enrollment of additional subjects may safely continue in each 
arm. After at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine 
regimen, the IDMC may recommend that sparse PK sampling be used for the other subjects. Subject 
recruitment and enrollment may continue while the data are being reviewed. The IDMC will also assess 
PK, safety, and efficacy data during the conduct of the study. Based on the review of this data, changes to 
randomization ratios, enrollment based on time from onset of RSV symptoms (≤3 days and >3 to ≤5 days)
till randomization, dose regimen adjustments, or an increase in treatment duration to 10 days may be 
implemented.
Up to 2 formal interim analyses may be performed during the study. The first interim analysis will be 
performed once 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms have completed treatment (Day 5/6) or once
90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been enrolled and have completed treatment. The 
following situations will be considered based on the results at this stage: that the study is considered 
futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at 
randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be limited to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); or 
that the study can continue unchanged. The treatment regimen may be modified after the first interim 
analysis, including increasing the treatment duration up to 10 days. After this analysis, randomization to 
1 of the lumicitabine doses may be discontinued, the randomization ratio may change, and the study may 
not continue in subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization. The second interim 
analysis may be performed at the discretion of the sponsor once at least 120 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) (or at least 60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms). The following situations will 
be considered based on the results at this stage: that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be

concluded; or that the study can continue unchanged. Based on the recommendations of the IDMC 
following these interim analyses/reviews of PK, efficacy, and safety data, changes to randomization ratios 
in the treatment arms or an increase in treatment duration to 10 days may be implemented.
Option B
Hospitalized infants or children who are infected with RSV will be sequentially enrolled into different 
cohorts and will be randomized to receive either lumicitabine or placebo. At least 120 subjects are 
planned to be enrolled up to a maximum of 180 subjects. An effort will be made to enroll at least 
90 subjects aged between 28 days and 24 months and at least 12 subjects aged between 24 and 36 months. 
The number of subjects with comorbidities will be limited to 20%; additional comorbid subjects aged 
between 24 and 36 months may be allowed to enroll if the 20% threshold is reached before 12 subjects 
aged between 24 and 36 months are enrolled into the study.
Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 1 and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to lumicitabine Regimen 1 or 
placebo:

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of lumicitabine, 
administered twice daily.

Placebo: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of placebo, administered twice 
daily.
An IDMC will review the safety and PK data once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 1 have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) with the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen (including subjects 
recruited in Study ALS-8176-503) to assess if recruitment to a new treatment regimen (Cohort 2) may 
safely start. Subject recruitment and enrollment for Cohort 1 may continue while the data are being 
reviewed. 
The sponsor may skip recruitment into Cohort 1 (ie, no subjects would be enrolled into Cohort 1) and 
recruit 
subjects 
directly 
into 
Cohort 
2 
if 
≥9 
subjects 
have

40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects in total) and if 
those data have been reviewed by the IDMC. 
Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 2 and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to lumicitabine Regimen 1, 
lumicitabine Regimen 2, or placebo:

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of lumicitabine, 
administered twice daily.

Lumicitabine Regimen 2: a single LD followed by 9 MDs of lumicitabine Regimen 2, administered 
twice daily. The IDMC will provide a dose recommendation for Regimen 2.

Placebo: those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized in a 1:1 ratio (to 
match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) 
of placebo, administered twice daily.
o
A single placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of placebo matching 
Regimen 2, administered twice daily.
An IDMC will review the safety and PK data from Cohort 2 once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 2 have 
completed treatment (Day 5/6) with the active lumicitabine Regimen 2. Subject recruitment and 
enrollment for Cohort 2 may continue while the data are being reviewed.

A third dose may be evaluated, upon IDMC recommendation, based on the emerging safety and PK 
profile. Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 3 and randomized in a 1:3:2 ratio to lumicitabine 
Regimen 1, lumicitabine Regimen 3, or placebo: 

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of lumicitabine, 
administered twice daily. 

Lumicitabine Regimen 3: a single LD followed by 9 MDs of lumicitabine Regimen 3, administered 
twice daily. The IDMC will provide a dose recommendation for the lumicitabine Regimen 3.

Placebo: those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized in a 1:3 ratio (to 
match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) 
of placebo, administered twice daily.
o
A single placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of placebo matching 
Regimen 3, administered twice daily.
An IDMC will review safety and PK data from Cohort 3 once 9 subjects in that cohort have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) with the active lumicitabine Regimen 3, at which stage the IDMC will select either 
lumicitabine Regimen 2 or lumicitabine Regimen 3 to be used with placebo and lumicitabine Regimen 1 
for the remainder of the study. Depending on the selected doses, other randomization schemes may be 
selected for the remainder of the study. Subject recruitment and enrollment for Cohort 3 may continue 
while the data are being reviewed. Subjects will continue to be enrolled and treated in Cohort 2 up to a 
maximum of 180 subjects if a third dose regimen is not evaluated.
The sponsor/IDMC may recommend that the cohort regimens be adjusted or removed, given the active 
nature of the development program and the ongoing assessment of all the available data.
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of randomization 
(≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid condition for severe 
RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at 
randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down 
syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis). Recruitment of subjects with comorbidities will 
not be allowed if the data of the highest dose regimen of lumicitabine have not yet been reviewed by the 
IDMC.
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase, a treatment phase from Day 1 to Day 5/6 
(depending on the timing of the LD), and a follow-up phase ending 28 days postrandomization. Screening 
for eligible subjects will be performed as soon as possible following admission to the ER or 
hospitalization, such that subjects are randomized within 5 days of RSV symptom onset. Special attention 
will be paid to determine the duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of randomization as 
accurately as possible. Subjects will have assessments completed during hospitalization and at the Day 7, 
Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28 visits. For hospitalized subjects, additional assessments are done compared

analysis, including increasing the treatment duration up to 10 days. After this analysis, randomization to 
1 of the lumicitabine doses may be discontinued, the randomization ratios may change, and the study may 
not continue in subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization. The second interim 
analysis may be performed at the discretion of the sponsor once at least 120 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) (or 60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms). The following situations will be 
considered based on the data analysis at this stage: that the study is considered futile; that superiority can 
be concluded; or that the study can continue unchanged. Based on the recommendations of the IDMC 
following these interim analyses/reviews of PK, efficacy, and safety data, changes to randomization ratios 
in the treatment arms or an increase in treatment duration to 10 days may be implemented.
SUBJECT POPULATION
Screening for eligible subjects will be performed as soon as possible following admission to the ER or 
hospitalization, such that subjects are randomized within 5 days of RSV symptom onset. Special attention 
will be paid to determine the duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of randomization as 
accurately as possible. Male or female subjects must be aged ≥28 days to ≤36 months and diagnosed with 
RSV infection based on a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic assay (with or without 
coinfection with another respiratory pathogen) who have been (or will be) admitted to the hospital and 
whose parents have signed informed consent will be enrolled. Subjects who were admitted to the hospital 
for another reason but develop an acute respiratory illness while being hospitalized are also eligible for 
screening.
Subjects who are admitted to hospital due to RSV infection, including those who are otherwise healthy 
and those with underlying comorbidities (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks;
for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, other 
congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis) can participate. 
However, enrollment of subjects with comorbidities in the Option A design can only start after at least 
9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen, after 
their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC, and after the IDMC has recommended that the 
recruitment of subjects with underlying comorbidities may start. Enrollment of subjects with 
comorbidities in the Option B design can only start once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 2 have completed 
treatment with the active lumicitabine Regimen 2 and after their safety and PK data have been reviewed 
by the IDMC. If subjects are enrolled into Cohort 3, then enrollment of subjects with comorbidities can 
only start once at least 9 subjects in this cohort have completed treatment with the active lumicitabine 
Regimen 3 and after their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The study drug will be provided as a powder for suspension for oral administration. Study drug 
administration should start as soon as possible, but no later than 4 hours after randomization in order to 
maximize the opportunity for the compound to inhibit viral replication and potentially improve outcomes.
Subjects will be dosed with a single LD followed by 9 MDs twice daily (minimum 8 hours and maximum 
16 hours apart with no more than 2 doses per calendar day) during Day 1 to Day 5/6 (depending on the 
timing of the LD).
Administration of each dose should occur at approximately the same time each day and after the 
once-daily collection of the mid-turbinate nasal swab. Lumicitabine can be administered without regard to 
food. The date and time of dose administration, the date and time of food intake (limited to the food 
ingested within 30 minutes before or after study drug administration), and the type of food will be 
recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF) for hospitalized subjects.
Lumicitabine and placebo will be supplied as a powder in amber glass bottles containing 1,891 mg 
lumicitabine or placebo a child-resistant cap. The powder should be suspended with solvent prior to oral 
administration, providing a 60 mg/mL suspension, under the supervision of the investigator or a qualified

selected safety parameters) after single and repeated oral dosing of lumicitabine will be evaluated.
BIOMARKER EVALUATIONS
Leftover mid-turbinate nasal swabs and blood samples collected for PK testing may be used for 
exploratory biomarker analyses (eg, proteins including cytokines), on the premise that these markers may 
play a role in the treatment response, safety of lumicitabine, or the status and change of the RSV-related 
disease. Analyses of biomarkers may be conducted at the sponsor’s discretion and reported separately 
from this study.
No human DNA analyses will take place on these samples.

up to the Day 28 follow-up visit.

Requirement for, and duration of, hospital readmission for respiratory reasons from discharge up to 
the Day 28 follow-up visit.
SAFETY EVALUATIONS
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study from signing of the informed consent form 
onwards until the last study-related activity (end of study/early withdrawal).
An IDMC will be established to monitor the safety of subjects and will review data in an unblinded 
manner on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the subjects enrolled in this study. The IDMC 
will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor Committee, which will be responsible for 
identifying appropriate actions based on the recommendations of the IDMC. The IDMC will review the 
safety data:

Option A: once the first 12 subjects and 30 subjects have completed treatment.

Option B: once at least 9 subjects in each cohort have completed treatment with the highest active 
lumicitabine regimen available in their respective cohort.
The IDMC will also assess PK, safety, and efficacy data during the conduct of the study. 
Any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study must be recorded on the AE section of the 
electronic case report form.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
Any clinically significant abnormalities persisting at the end of the study/early withdrawal will be 
followed by the investigator until resolution or until a clinically stable endpoint is reached.
Safety assessments will be based on medical review of AE reports and the results of vital sign 
measurements, ECGs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and other safety evaluations.
STATISTICAL METHODS
The primary hypothesis is a positive dose-response relationship of active treatment on the average RSV 
viral load AUC over 7 days, meaning that either the average AUC on the pooled active treatments is 
lower than on placebo, or the average AUC on the high active dose is lower than the average AUC on 
placebo, using multiple contrast testing. On high dose, the hypothesis of the lumicitabine antiviral activity 
assumes a viral load reduction on the AUC of the log viral load over 7 days of at least 30% when 
compared to placebo in subjects with onset of symptoms ≤3 days and of at least 20% in subjects with 
onset of symptoms >3 days. The antiviral activity on low dose is assumed to be 80% when compared to 
the antiviral activity on the high dose. The positive dose-response relationship assumes that dose 
regimens with higher exposure with respect to MD will have at least an equal or better effect on viral 
load. Therefore 2 contrasts will be tested at each of the interim analysis points and final analysis: a 
contrast with no difference between the 2 active regimens tested against placebo (high equal to low, better 
than placebo) and a contrast with a positive ‘linear’ dose-response relationship (high better than low, low 
better than placebo) with respect to active regimens (where the effect of the low dose is exactly in 
between that of placebo and the high dose regimen). With respect to multiple contrast testing, multiplicity 
of the 2 contrasts will be controlled at the prespecified (interim) alpha level by calculating adjusted 
p-values from the simulated distribution of the maximum or maximum absolute value of a multivariate 
t random vector (ie, using the correlation between the contrasts to optimally control for alpha). Based on 
the observed data of other in-house studies, the estimated SD is assumed to be approximately 34% of the 
AUC for subjects treated with placebo and the SD is assumed to be equal in each of the treatment 
regimens. The overall (family-wise) type 1 error rate of 2.5% (1-sided) will be adjusted for multiple 
testing due to formal interim analyses using a Pocock alpha-spending function with 3 sequential tests 
(2 interim, 1 final). Based on 10,000 simulations and using a general linear model with treatment regimen 
as fixed factors, and under the assumption that 40% of the recruited subjects have onset of symptoms 
≤3 days, a sample size of 180 subjects randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio will offer approximately 97% power to 
detect a positive dose-response relationship using multiple contrast testing. With the second interim 
analysis planned after at least 120 subjects, there will be at least 80% power to detect a positive 
dose-response relationship at the time of this analysis.
The primary endpoint in this study is RSV RNA log10 viral load (measured by qRT-PCR assay in the 
mid-turbinate nasal swab specimens) AUC immediately prior to first dose of study drug (baseline) over 
7 days. Mean log10 viral load values over time will be analyzed using a restricted maximum 
likelihood-based repeated measures approach. Analyses will include the fixed, categorical effects of 
treatment, strata, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of 
baseline log10 viral load and baseline log10 viral load by visit interaction. An unstructured (co)variance 
structure will be used to model the within subject errors over time. The Kenward Roger method will be 
used to approximate the degrees of freedom. The difference in the AUCs for active versus placebo will be 
derived using appropriate contrasts deriving least square mean differences, including the 95% 2-sided 
confidence intervals. For inferential purposes, p-values will be compared with significance levels 
controlling for the (family-wise) type 1 error rate.  
For differences between treatment groups on qRT-PCR, the same methods as for the primary endpoint 
will be used, using appropriate contrasts to estimate treatment differences between the various treatment 
groups by treatment day using nominal 95% confidence intervals. The time to virus not detected is 
defined as the time from initiation of study treatment until the time at which it is observed that the virus is 
undetectable in an assessment and after which time no virus positive assessment follows. The time to 
clinical stability is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment until the time at which the

following criteria are met: return to pre-RSV infection status (hereafter referred to as “normalization”) of 
blood oxygen level (ie, no additional requirement of supplemental oxygen compared with pre-RSV
infection status), normalization of oral feeding, normalization of respiratory rate, and normalization of 
heart rate. Additionally, statistical modeling will be performed on the secondary endpoint of length of 
hospital stay, defined as the time from treatment initiation to hospital discharge in hours. 
Parent/caregiver-reported and clinician-reported eCOA (PRESORS) will be descriptively summarized by 
treatment group and compared across treatment groups.
Population PK analysis of concentration-time data of JNJ-63549109 will be performed using nonlinear 
mixed-effects modeling. Subjects will be excluded from the PK analysis if their data do not allow for 
accurate assessment of the PK.
Statistical approaches to explore correlations between clinical outcome and biomarkers vary and depend 
on the different data types of the applied technology platforms, as well as on the extent of observed 
differences among study subjects. Analyses may be conducted at the sponsor’s discretion and reported 
separately from this study. Selected efficacy and safety parameters will be subject to PK/PD analysis. 
JNJ-63549109 exposures will be evaluated as an independent variable, with selected efficacy and selected 
safety parameters considered as dependent variables. Various approaches, including graphical analysis, 
linear, nonlinear, and logistic regression methods may be utilized.
Medical resource utilization and health economics will be descriptively summarized by treatment regimen
and compared across treatment regimens.
Safety data will be presented descriptively. No statistical testing of safety data is planned. For safety, 
baseline is defined as the last assessment prior to the first intake of study drug.

Footnotes:
a.
If a subject is discontinued from study drug, a follow-up visit will be scheduled 2 days (+2 days), 5 days (+2 days), 9 days (+2 days), and 23 days (±2 days) after 
the last dose of study drug was administered. Assessments should be performed as indicated in the Time and Events Schedule, respectively for the Day 7, Day 10, 
Day 14, and Day 28 visit.
b.
The subject may be discharged after Day 2 study procedures, but may also remain hospitalized if deemed appropriate by the investigator. Hospitalization duration 
will not be extended solely for study purposes. 
c.
If treatment duration is increased to up to 10 days, then all assessments performed on Day 7 will again be performed 1 day (+2 days) after administration of the last 
MD.
d.
The results of clinical/safety evaluations that are performed as part of routine clinical care while hospitalized will be collected in the eCRF for viral, safety, and/or 
clinical evaluation.
e.
Procedures performed as part of standard of care within approximately 72 hours prior to screening completion (ie, randomization) may be used in determining 
study eligibility.
f.
One LD followed by 9 MDs twice daily. MDs may be extended to up to 19 doses over 10 days if recommended by the IDMC.
g.
Study drug LD should be given as soon as possible but no later than 4 hours after randomization. Subjects will be dosed with a single LD followed by 9 MDs twice 
daily (minimum 8 hours and maximum 16 hours apart with no more than 2 doses per calendar day) from Day 1 to Day 5/6 (depending on the timing of the LD). 
Lumicitabine may be given without regard to food. The date and time of dose administration, the date and time of food intake (limited to the food ingested within 
30 minutes before or after study drug administration), and the type of food will be recorded in the eCRF.
h.
An electronic device will be provided to the parent(s)/caregiver(s) at screening and the investigator/study-site personnel will provide sufficient information to 
enable the parent(s)/caregiver(s) to complete the parent(s)/caregiver(s) eCOA. Parent(s)/caregiver(s) will complete the eCOA screening and twice daily for the 
entire duration of hospitalization, at approximately the same time each day. On the day of discharge, parent(s)/caregiver(s) will complete the eCOA before the 
subject leaves the hospital.
i.
The assessment on Day 1 must be recorded predose, before the LD. If the screening assessment was performed less than 8 hours prior to the LD, the predose 
assessment does not need to be performed.
j.
The first postdose assessment must be performed between 6 and 12 hours after the LD (on Day 1 or Day 2, depending on the time of LD). 
k.
Clinical evaluation includes, but is not limited to, RSV disease symptoms, vital signs, oxygen requirement (type and duration), level of hospital care, duration of 
hospitalization, respiratory rate, body temperature, and SpO2.
l.
SpO2 will be assessed Q4h (±30 minutes) while the subject is hospitalized through Day 7. In case the last SpO2 assessment on Day 7 was performed after 8 PM, the 
first SpO2 assessment on Day 8 should be performed within 8 hours from the last SpO2 assessment on Day 7. For subjects who remain hospitalized after Day 7, 
SpO2 assessment should then continue Q8h (±1 hour) until 24 hours after the cessation of supplemental oxygen.
m.
A complete physical examination includes all body systems. 
n.
A directed physical examination includes respiratory system, nose, ear, throat, facial and neck lymph nodes, and skin examination.
o.
A 12-lead ECG is strongly preferred but in cases where a 12-lead ECG is not possible or feasible, then a 6-lead ECG may be performed.
p.
An ECG needs to be recorded on Day 4 for subjects who remain hospitalized at this time. If discharged earlier than Day 4, the subjects need to have an ECG 
recorded on the day of discharge. The ECG will be performed 30 minutes to 3 hours after the first dose of that day.
q.
Leftover blood samples and nasal swabs may be used for exploratory biomarker analyses.
r.
The mid-turbinate nasal swab or endotracheal sample taken during screening is placed in 3 mL of transport media and split into several aliquots. Assessments for 
RSV diagnosis at screening will be performed by a local laboratory and confirmed by a central laboratory. Other assessments will be done by a central laboratory. 
s.
Mid-turbinate nasal swabs (from the same nostril throughout the study) and/or endotracheal samples to assess RSV viral load and resistance should be taken by a 
trained study team member from Day 1 to Day 6 and on Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28. Samples should be taken at approximately the same time each day 
prior to study drug administration. In case of nostril bleeding or irritation during the collection of a mid-turbinate nasal swab, all subsequent nasal swabs will be

performed on the contralateral nostril. Nasal swabs and endotracheal samples should be frozen as soon as possible after being collected. The actual times of sample 
collection and sample freezing must be recorded in the eCRF. Should the study drug duration be increased to up to 10 days (following review of the data by the 
IDMC), samples will be taken every day up to and including 1 day (+2 days) following the last dose of study drug. Quantitative culture of RSV using plaque assay 
may be performed centrally at timepoints selected by the virologist.
t.
Mid-turbinate nasal swabs and/or endotracheal sample must be taken as close as possible to and before the LD on Day 1.
u.
Only 1 blood sample will be collected if the biochemistry and hematology analyses are performed on the same day.
v.
A urinalysis can be performed during the screening period or on Day 1 prior to the LD dose. A sample will also be collected on the last day of dosing, within 
3 hours of the last dose.
w.
At randomization, each subject will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 PK sampling schemes, Group X or Y, with 3 PK timepoints per group: 2 samples will be taken 
on Days 1 to 2 and 1 random PK sample will be taken on Day 7. The actual dates and times of sample collection must be recorded in the eCRF. The IDMC may 
recommend that only 2 PK samples be used under the conditions of footnote w.
x.
The IDMC may recommend that only 2 PK samples (post Dose 1 and Day 7) be collected after at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg 
LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen if the Option A design is chosen or after at least 9 subjects in each cohort have completed treatment with the highest active 
lumicitabine regimen available in their respective cohort if the Option B design is chosen. The post Dose 2 sample will not be collected in this scenario.

INTRODUCTION
Lumicitabine (also known as JNJ-64041575 and ALS-008176) is a 3ʹ,5ʹ-bisisobutyrate prodrug 
of the cytidine nucleoside analog JNJ-63549109 (also known as ALS-008112), which is being 
developed as an orally administered antiviral therapy for the treatment of infants, children, and 
adults infected with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). 
Once administered, lumicitabine is rapidly and efficiently converted by esterases to 
JNJ-63549109. 
Inside 
cells, 
JNJ-63549109 
is 
subsequently 
converted 
to 
the 
JNJ-63549109-5ʹ-triphosphate JNJ-65409136 (also known as ALS-008136), which, as the active 
metabolite of the compound, is a potent and selective inhibitor of the RSV and hMPV RNA 
polymerase activity via a classic chain termination mechanism. JNJ-64167896 (also known as 
ALS-008144), the uridine metabolite of JNJ-63549109, is the inactive major metabolite detected 
in systemic circulation. Table 1 gives an overview of the investigational product used in this 
study and its metabolites, including the prior and current compound numbers.

Background
1.1.1.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Respiratory syncytial virus is an RNA virus and a member of the Pneumoviridae family, which 
also includes hMPV. The RSV season occurs during winter months in regions with temperate
climates in the Northern and Southern hemispheres and throughout the year or peaks 
semiannually in tropical regions.5,22
Respiratory syncytial virus causes acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and is a major 
cause of hospital admissions and death in young children worldwide. RSV is a leading cause of 
lower respiratory disease in infants.18 In 2005, an estimated 33.8 million episodes of RSV LRTI 
occurred worldwide in infants. Of these, at least 3.4 million severe cases of LRTI required 
hospitalization, and an estimated 66,000 to 199,000 deaths occurred, mostly in the developing 
world.18 In the United States, it has been estimated that annually RSV infection causes 
57,527 hospitalizations and 2.1 million emergency room (ER) or outpatient visits.11 Infants that

are born prematurely or close to the RSV season and/or suffering from bronchopulmonary 
dysplasia or congenital heart disease are at the highest risk of developing severe RSV-related 
acute LRTI.9
Treatment of infants and children with severe RSV disease is largely supportive, consisting of 
oxygen therapy, nutrition, and fluids. Aerosolized ribavirin, a synthetic guanosine analog and 
broad spectrum antiviral agent, is approved for treatment of infants with severe LRTIs, but its 
use is limited due to questionable efficacy and complexity of administration.1,10 Hence, there is a 
significant unmet need for a novel antiviral agent against RSV.
1.1.2.
Information on the Product
Lumicitabine is a 3’,5’-bisisobutyrate prodrug, which is readily metabolized to the cytidine 
nucleoside analog, JNJ-63549109. Subsequently, inside cells, JNJ-63549109 is efficiently 
converted to its nucleoside triphosphate (NTP), JNJ-65409136. This NTP is a potent inhibitor of 
both RSV and hMPV RNA polymerase activity via a classic chain termination mechanism.
JNJ-64167896, the uridine metabolite of JNJ-63549109, is the inactive major metabolite detected 
in systemic circulation. A summary of the major findings from nonclinical and clinical studies 
available at the time of initial protocol writing is presented below. Please refer to the IB16 for 
more details.
Nonclinical Studies
Pharmacologic Profile
The antiviral activity and selectivity of the parent nucleoside JNJ-63549109 and its prodrug, 
lumicitabine, were evaluated in vitro using a combination of cell-based RSV infectious and 
subgenomic replicon reporter systems, together with cell-extracted replicase and recombinant 
RSV polymerase L-P complex. In vivo, lumicitabine was evaluated in the African Green monkey 
model of RSV infection.
The major findings from these studies were:

JNJ-63549109 and lumicitabine inhibit RSV laboratory-adapted strains, clinical isolates, and 
RSV replication in the subgenomic replicon system.

The JNJ-63549109-5ʹ-triphosphate (JNJ-65409136), the active metabolite of the compound, 
is a potent and selective inhibitor of RSV RNA polymerase activity, demonstrating an 
inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.09 µM, via a classic chain termination mechanism.

JNJ-65409136 is formed in high amounts in A549 lung epithelial cells, primary human nasal 
and bronchial epithelial cells, and monkey lung, and demonstrates an intracellular half-life 
(t1/2) of approximately 17.6 hours in vitro (in normal human bronchial epithelial cells) and 
29 hours in vivo (in monkey lungs).

In vivo, orally administered lumicitabine significantly suppressed RSV replication in the 
African Green monkey model.

In vitro inhibition of human deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerases α, β, or γ, and of 
human RNA polymerase II by JNJ-65409136 was insignificant (>100 µM) under the 
conditions used. In addition, JNJ-65409136 was not an efficient substrate for the human

mitochondrial RNA polymerase. Further, JNJ-63549109 did not inhibit mitochondrial 
protein synthesis in either 8- or 28-day assays in the human hepatoma G2, human hepatoma 
type 7, and human T-cell leukemia derived MT-4 cell lines. In addition, JNJ-63549109 did 
not significantly inhibit the replication of a panel of viruses unrelated to RSV.

Reduced progenitor differentiation and proliferation by JNJ-63549109 was seen for the 
human granulocyte-monocyte (50% inhibitory concentration =8.71 µM or 2,558 ng/mL) and 
erythroid precursor progenitors (50% inhibitory concentration =9.21 µM or 2,705 ng/mL) 
from bone marrow stem cells (14 days assay duration).
The major safety pharmacology findings were:

No human ether-a-go-go gene potassium channel current blockage of lumicitabine or its 
metabolites.

No central nervous system effects in rats up to 500 mg/kg/day.

No cardiovascular and respiratory effects in dogs up to 500 mg/kg/day.
Toxicology Profile
Once administered, lumicitabine is rapidly and efficiently converted to JNJ-63549109. Thus, the 
toxicity profile of lumicitabine is primarily driven by JNJ-63549109.
The major toxicity findings were:
Repeat-dose Toxicity

Target organ for toxicity was the hematopoietic system in adult and juvenile rats and dogs 
(JNJ-63549109 area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to 
24 hours after dosing [AUC0-24h] ≥212,000 ng.h/mL). The no-observed-adverse-effect level 
(NOAEL) doses of lumicitabine and exposure of JNJ-63549109 are presented in Table 2.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017

No effects on early developmental markers, neurobehaviour, respiratory function, bone 
geometry, bone densitometry, ophthalmological evaluations, or electrocardiograms (ECGs) 
in juvenile rats (150 mg/kg twice daily; JNJ-63549109 AUC0-24h of 55,450 ng.h/mL) and 
dogs (75 mg/kg twice daily; JNJ-63549109 at AUC0-24h of 258,862 ng.h/mL). 
Genotoxicity

Non-mutagenic (negative Ames test) and no DNA damage (COMET assay; 
1,750 mg/kg/day for 3 days) potential for lumicitabine or its metabolites.

Increases in structural chromosomal aberration in human peripheral blood lymphocytes 
induced by JNJ-63549109 (≥10 µg/mL). Positive micronucleus test in rats (≥425 mg/kg/day 
lumicitabine for 3 days) at high exposure of JNJ-63549109 (AUC0-24h ≥107,983 ng.h/mL). 
The NOEL for in vitro chromosomal aberrations was 5 μg/mL and for in vivo micronucleus 
induction was an AUC0-24h of 57,595 ng.h/mL.

The mechanism of clastogenicity is an indirect, threshold-based mechanism of intracellular 
NTP pool disturbances rather than direct DNA reactivity, as described for other nucleoside 
analogs in the public domain.

A maximum average threshold of JNJ-63549109 exposure in humans has been defined as an 
AUC0-24h of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood) ie, 2.7-fold lower than the 
NOAEL in the repeat-dose toxicity studies and well above the effective antiviral exposure in 
the human RSV challenge Study ALS-8176-502 (see Section Clinical Studies below).
Reproductive Toxicity

The NOAEL for
male reproductive toxicity/fertility was 250 mg/kg twice daily
(JNJ-63549109 AUC0-24h of 165,000 ng.h/mL). In view of the slight decrease in corpora 
lutea and corresponding decrease in implantations and viable embryos (without overall 
impact on female fertility or in utero survival), the NOEL for female reproductive toxicity as 
well as early embryonic toxicity was 250 mg/kg twice daily (JNJ-63549109 AUC0-24h of 
193,000 ng.h/mL).

The effects of lumicitabine on developmental and reproductive parameters were a decrease 
in fetal weight in rats at 400 mg/kg twice daily and an increase in post-implantation losses in 
rabbits at ≥20 mg/kg twice daily, with no teratogenic effects in fetuses in either rats or 
rabbits. The NOAEL for maternal toxicity and embryo-fetal development in rats was 
125 mg/kg twice daily (JNJ-63549109 maximum observed
(or predicted)
analyte
concentration [Cmax] of 11,400 ng/mL and AUC0-24h of 87,800 ng.h/mL). The NOAEL for 
embryo-fetal development in rabbits was 10 mg/kg twice daily (JNJ-63549109 AUC0-24h of 
8,220 ng.h/mL) and the maternal NOAEL in rabbits was 20 mg/kg twice daily.
Other Toxicity

There was no measurable cytotoxicity of JNJ-63549109 (>100 µM, 3 days) in the human 
epithelial type 2 and human hepatoma type 7 cell lines. There was a dose-dependent 
decrease in cell viability in 3/7 cell lines (8 days).

Pharmacokinetic and Metabolism Profile
The major nonclinical pharmacokinetic (PK) and metabolism findings were:

The prodrug, lumicitabine, was well absorbed after oral administration and rapidly and 
efficiently converted to the parent nucleoside JNJ-63549109 by esterases. Plasma exposures 
of JNJ-63549109 were comparable between adult and juvenile animals at the same dose 
levels. The uridine metabolite JNJ-4167896 was a major circulating metabolite in monkeys.

Food slowed down the rate of oral absorption (lowered Cmax values) of lumicitabine, but did 
not change the extent of oral absorption (no change in area under the plasma concentration 
versus time curve [AUC]) in monkeys.

The oral bioavailability, in terms of exposure of the parent nucleoside JNJ-63549109, was 
44% in dog and monkey.

Inside cells JNJ-63549109 is extensively phosphorylated. In lung, high levels of the 
monophosphate JNJ-654109123 and especially the active triphosphate JNJ-65409136 were 
measured. 

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play a minor role in lumicitabine metabolism. Besides no 
relevant inhibition nor induction of CYP enzymes by lumicitabine, JNJ-63549109, or other 
metabolites was observed.

Lumicitabine JNJ-63549109 and JNJ-64167896 are neither substrates nor inhibitors of 
P-glycoprotein. Lumicitabine but not JNJ-63549109 and JNJ-64167896, might be weak 
inhibitors of organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/1B3, but none of them are 
substrates of these OATP1B transporters.
Data indicated that JNJ-63549109 and 
JNJ-64167896 are neither substrates nor inhibitors of organic cation transporter 2, organic 
anion transporter (OAT) 1, and bile salt export pump. There is no clear indication that 
lumicitabine and JNJ-63549109, but not JNJ-64167896, are substrates of breast cancer 
resistance protein (BCRP), but none of them are inhibitors of BCRP. JNJ-63549109 is a 
substrate but not an inhibitor of OAT3 (Ki >258 μM). JNJ-64167896 is not a substrate or 
inhibitor of OAT3.

Based on the in vitro data, lumicitabine and its major metabolites are predicted to have a low 
potential for CYP- and transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, with the possible 
exception of strong OAT3 inhibitors.
Clinical Studies
Human Pharmacokinetics
Single-dose PK in healthy adult subjects was characterized in Study ALS-8176-501. When 
administered orally to healthy adult subjects as a suspension formulation in the fasted state, 
lumicitabine was rapidly converted to JNJ-63549109. The only other major metabolite 
measurable in plasma was JNJ-64167896, the inactive uridine metabolite of JNJ-63549109. 
While the terminal t1/2 of JNJ-63549109 was calculated to be approximately 63 hours, the 
majority of the plasma concentrations decreased to low levels within 6 hours postdose, indicating 
rapid and extensive distribution of JNJ-63549109. Following single doses of up to 750 mg, the 
Cmax and AUC of JNJ-63549109 increased linearly, but less than dose proportionally with 
increasing doses of lumicitabine. The plasma PK profile of the metabolite, JNJ-64167896, was

similar to that noted with JNJ-63549109 and exposure was approximately 18% to 33% of that of 
JNJ-63549109. In Study 64041575RSV1003, JNJ-63549109 AUC showed no deviation from 
dose proportionality within the lumicitabine 1,500 mg to 3,000 mg dose range, after a single 
dose. JNJ-63549109 Cmax increased with the dose, but the increase was less than dose 
proportional for the 2,500 mg and 3,000 mg doses as compared to the 1,500 mg dose. 
JNJ-64167896 AUC and Cmax showed no deviation from dose proportionality.
Urinary excretion was assessed following a single 500-mg oral dose of lumicitabine in the fasted 
state. No prodrug was recovered in urine, which is probably due to extensive metabolism. The 
major metabolites measured in urine were JNJ-63549109 and JNJ-64167896, which accounted 
for approximately 25% and 7% of the administered dose, respectively.
Food effect was assessed following a single 250-mg oral dose of a lumicitabine suspension. 
Intake of lumicitabine with a high fat, high calorie meal lowered JNJ-63549109 Cmax by 
approximately 50% as compared with the fasted state, without affecting the JNJ-63549109 AUC. 
Study ALS-8176-509, administering lumicitabine as 500-mg tablets, indicated that food has a 
minor effect on JNJ-63549109 exposure and plasma peaks with an average increase in AUC of 
19% and decrease in Cmax of 16%.
Study ALS-8176-504 determined the absolute bioavailability of JNJ-63549109 and mass balance 
of lumicitabine in healthy adult subjects. Following oral administration of a 375 mg 
14C-lumicitabine solution, 84% of the total administered radioactive dose was recovered in the 
urine and feces during the 312-hour collection period. Approximately half of the administered 
dose was recovered within the first 24 hours. Approximately two-thirds of the total radioactivity 
was recovered in the urine suggesting renal elimination is the major route of elimination for the 
prodrug and its metabolites. Metabolite profiling and identification confirmed that JNJ-63549109 
and JNJ-64167896 are the 2 major metabolites in plasma, urine, and feces. The absolute oral 
bioavailability of lumicitabine, measured by the formation of the parent nucleoside, 
JNJ-63549109 (AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration 
[AUC0-last]), was determined to be approximately 60%.
Based on an integrated population-derived PK (popPK) approach, race (including Japanese) does 
not affect exposures to JNJ-63549109.
Multiple dose PK was characterized in healthy adult subjects in Study ALS-8176-501, in healthy 
adult subjects challenged with RSV in Study ALS-8176-502, and in hospitalized adult subjects 
with RSV infection in Study ALS-8176-510. Following multiple oral doses of lumicitabine in 
healthy adult subjects in Study ALS-8176-501, including 2 loading doses (LDs) up to 750 mg on 
Day 1 followed by administration of multiple doses up to 500 mg up to 13 days every 12 hours
(Q12h), the plasma profiles of JNJ-63549109 and JNJ-64167896 were similar to that obtained 
following single doses of lumicitabine. Accumulation of either JNJ-63549109 or JNJ-64167896 
was insignificant after 5 days of dosing. Steady-state minimum (or predicted) observed analyte 
concentration of JNJ-63549109 was reached by the second dose (ie, approximately 24 hours after 
the first dose) and minimal changes in minimum (or predicted) observed analyte concentration
were noted between Days 1 and 5 or 14. In general, the plasma profiles for JNJ-63549109

following the afternoon dose were lower than following the morning dose. Study ALS-8176-502 
was an RSV challenge study in healthy adult subjects. Subjects received 5-day dose regimens of 
lumicitabine as an oral suspension. The 3 dose regimens were: 375 mg Q12h (n=11), 750 mg 
LD/500 mg MD Q12h (n=14), and 750 mg LD/150 mg MD Q12h (n=19). Intensive PK samples 
were evaluated on Days 1 and 5 of the study and the highest mean plasma AUC0-24h for 
JNJ-63549109 was 10,794 ng.h/mL for the 750 mg LD/500 mg MD group on Day 5. There was 
no difference between the average exposures after oral dosing of lumicitabine in healthy adult 
subjects in Study ALS-8176-501 as compared with healthy adult subjects challenged with RSV 
in Study ALS-8176-502. Limited PK data from Study ALS-8176-510 suggests that the exposure 
to JNJ-63549109 in adults infected with RSV appears to be higher than in healthy subjects 
(1.86-fold higher exposure seen in Study ALS-8176-510 versus healthy adult subjects in 
Study ALS-8176-502).
Study ALS-8176-503 is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-part study 
designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single 
ascending doses and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of orally administered lumicitabine in 
infants hospitalized with RSV infection. In this study, subjects are randomized in a 3:1 ratio to 
receive lumicitabine as a single dose up to 25 mg/kg, or a multiple dose regimen consisting of an
LD (up to 40 mg/kg) followed by 5-day MDs (up to 20 mg/kg) twice daily, or a matching 
placebo regimen. This study is ongoing at the time of protocol writing. Limited PK data from the 
MAD part of Study ALS-8176-503 shows that the mean plasma JNJ-63549109 AUC0-24h
increased linearly with the dose. The highest mean AUC0-24h value reached in this population 
was an average of 7,763 ng.h/mL for the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD regimen.
Efficacy/Safety Studies
The efficacy of lumicitabine in naturally infected populations has not yet been demonstrated; 
however, it has been assessed in healthy adult subjects infected with RSV in a human challenge 
model (Study ALS-8176-502). In this study, 62 subjects were enrolled into 3 study periods, 
inoculated with the RSV-A Memphis 37b strain, and monitored for RSV infection using a 
quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. Twelve hours 
after infection was detected by qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or 6 days after 
inoculation, whichever occurred first, subjects were randomized to placebo or 1 of 3 lumicitabine 
dose regimens: 750 mg LD/500 mg MD (Q12h), 750 mg LD/150 mg MD (Q12h), or 375 mg, 
(Q12h) for 5 days. Data from this study demonstrate that MDs of 150 and 500 mg lumicitabine 
following a 750 mg LD, resulted in rapid, substantial declines in RSV viral load with an 
accompanying comparable improvement in signs and symptoms of RSV infection compared 
with placebo-treated subjects.6 There was a statistically significant difference in RSV AUC in 
subjects treated with 375 mg twice daily compared with placebo but the effect was more 
pronounced when the regimens included a LD.
Data from 6 Phase 1/2a studies (ALS-8176-501, ALS-8176-502, ALS-8176-504, ALS-8176-509, 
64041575RSV1001 [ALS-8176-511], and 64041575RSV1003) in healthy adult subjects 
(N=234), indicate that lumicitabine was well tolerated and that no safety concerns were 
identified, after receiving lumicitabine as single doses up to 3,000 mg or as multiple doses up to

750 mg twice daily on Day 1 followed by up to 500 mg Q12h MDs for up to 13 days. In these 
studies, there were no deaths, no serious adverse events (SAEs) or adverse events (AEs) leading 
to study drug discontinuation reported. All AEs were mild or moderate in severity, except for 
3 events, all of which were severe. Two of these severe events were asymptomatic laboratory 
abnormalities (increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and increased blood creatine 
phosphokinase) and occurred in Study ALS-8176-502; neither event was considered related to 
lumicitabine. The third severe AE (increased cholesterol) occurred in Study 64041575RSV1001 
(ALS-8176-511; single ascending dose study in healthy Japanese adult subjects) on Day 14 after 
the subject received a single oral dose of lumicitabine (750 mg) on Day 1 and was considered 
possibly related to lumicitabine. Among healthy adult subjects receiving multiple doses of 
lumicitabine, the most commonly reported AEs (ie, ≥3 subjects) that occurred more often in 
lumicitabine-treated versus placebo-treated subjects were: epistaxis, ALT increased, headache, 
oropharyngeal pain, platelet count decreased, and upper respiratory tract infection.
No prolongation of the QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia’s formula 
(QTcF) of clinical or regulatory concern was noted in Study 64041575RSV1003.
As of 20 April 2017, there have been 2 hematologic SAEs reported in the ongoing clinical 
studies in hospitalized adult or pediatric subjects who are infected with RSV. 

In Study 64041575RSV2003, a Grade 3 SAE of pancytopenia (laboratory Grade 4) that 
started 2 days after the last dose of lumicitabine (1,000 mg LD/500 mg MD twice daily) was 
reported in a subject with a medical history of pneumonia, bronchiectasis, anemia, 
emaciation, and non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis. The event was considered probably 
related to lumicitabine by the investigator.

In Study ALS-8176-503, a Grade 4 SAE of neutropenia (laboratory Grade 4) was reported 
within 17 hours after the first dose of lumicitabine (40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD twice 
daily). The event was considered possibly related to lumicitabine by the investigator.
In addition, there has been 1 non-serious Grade 4 hematologic AE (neutropenia, laboratory 
Grade 4) in Study ALS-8176-510 in adult hospitalized subjects who are infected with RSV. The 
event started 22 days after the last dose of lumicitabine (750 mg LD/500 mg MD) and was 
reported in a subject with a complex past medical history. The event was considered possibly 
related to lumicitabine by the investigator.
In addition to the above-described serious/severe hematological AEs, up to 20 April 2017,
7 SAEs have been reported in these 3 studies in hospitalized adult or pediatric subjects infected
with RSV. In Study ALS-8176-503, 6 unrelated SAEs have been reported after single (phlebitis, 
bacterial pneumonia with respiratory failure, and sinus tachycardia) or multiple doses 
(lymphadenitis, and bronchiolitis [2 events in 1 child]) of the study drug. One of these SAEs 
(bacterial 
pneumonia 
with

failure) 
was 
also 
considered 
severe.
In 
Study ALS-8176-510, a single, unrelated SAE (abdominal pain) was reported. The safety data 
for all 3 studies are regularly reviewed by unblinded Independent Data Monitoring Committees
(IDMCs), which have identified no other potential safety concerns.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
Factors other than treatment with lumicitabine, including underlying RSV infection, are more 
likely to have contributed to these serious/severe hematologic AEs. However, a potential 
contribution of lumicitabine cannot be excluded. The risk-benefit assessment for the continued 
development of lumicitabine remains favorable given the population targeted (hospitalized 
subjects) and the lack of available treatment for RSV infection.
1.2.
Overall Rationale for the Study
Globally, RSV is the most common cause of childhood lower respiratory disease.18 Palivizumab 
is approved for the prevention of RSV-related hospitalizations in high-risk infants and 
aerosolized ribavirin is approved for treatment of infants with severe LRTIs, but its use is limited 
due to questionable efficacy and complexity of administration.1,11 Current treatment of RSV 
infection is largely limited to supportive care, consisting of supplemental oxygen therapy, 
nutrition, hydration and, in some cases, mechanical ventilation. Hence, there is a significant 
unmet medical need for a novel antiviral agent against RSV.
This study is designed to determine the antiviral activity, clinical outcomes, safety, tolerability, 
and PK of multiple lumicitabine dose regimens in a population of hospitalized infants and 
children aged ≥28 days to ≤36 months naturally infected with RSV.

Benefit-risk Evaluation
1.3.1.
Known Benefits
Lumicitabine demonstrated a significant antiviral effect and reduced the signs and symptoms of 
RSV infection in the RSV human challenge model. However, the clinical benefit of this 
compound in the treatment of RSV infection remains to be fully established.
1.3.2.
Potential Benefits
Lumicitabine has demonstrated potent antiviral activity against RSV in vitro, in the African 
Green Monkey animal model and in a human challenge model. Subjects participating in this 
study might have a benefit regarding the clinical course of their RSV infection. Results from 
lumicitabine clinical studies may be useful in developing a new therapy for RSV infection.
1.3.3.
Known Risks
All therapies have the potential to cause adverse experiences. No formal adverse drug reaction 
determination has been performed.
In healthy adult subjects (N=234 dosed with lumicitabine), data from Phase 1/2a studies 
(ALS-8176-501, 
ALS-8176-502, 
ALS-8176-504, 
AL-8176-509, 
64041575RSV1001/
ALS-8176-511, and from 64041575RSV1003) indicate that lumicitabine was well tolerated with
no safety concerns identified after receiving single doses up to 3,000 mg or multiple doses up to 
750 mg twice daily on Day 1, followed by up to 500 mg twice daily MD for up to 13 days. In 
adult or pediatric subjects hospitalized with RSV, 3 hematological serious/severe AEs have 
occurred and subsequently resolved (see Section 1.3.4, Potential Risks).

1.3.4.
Potential Risks
The nonclinical toxicity profile for JNJ-63549109 was similar to that previously observed for
other marketed nucleoside analogs, where hematopoietic changes and genotoxicity were noted.
The toxicity profile established for JNJ-63549109 in nonclinical toxicology studies indicates a 
reversible and dose-related effect on the hematopoietic system where changes in bone marrow 
cytology were associated with changes in hematological parameters; specifically, decreased 
circulating reticulocytes and hemoglobin, and hypocellularity of erythroid cell lines in the bone 
marrow. In these studies, no significant impact on neutrophils, or platelets was observed at 
exposures approximately 10-fold higher than those assessed in clinical studies (plasma 
JNJ-63549109 AUC of approximately 20,000 ng.h/mL).
As of 20 April 2017, in adult or pediatric subjects hospitalized with RSV, 3 hematological 
serious/severe AEs have occurred and subsequently resolved. In all 3 cases, the subject received 
lumicitabine, but the 2 cases in adult subjects (pancytopenia SAE in Study 64041575RSV2003; 
severe neutropenia in Study ALS-8176-510) were both confounded by multiple medical 
comorbidities and recent/concomitant use of multiple medications that have been reported to 
cause bone marrow toxicity. Furthermore, the clinical course of neutrophil counts varies 
substantially across these 3 cases, with onset occurring within 24 hours, 6 days, and 27 days after 
the first dose of lumicitabine in the pediatric neutropenia case (Study ALS-8176-503), the adult 
pancytopenia case (Study 64041575RSV2003), and the adult severe neutropenia case 
(Study ALS-8176-510), 
respectively. 
Moreover, 
the 
presence 
of 
comorbidities,
ie, non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis and underlying RSV infection, might provide an alternative 
plausible etiology for the SAEs of pancytopenia and neutropenia in Study 64041575RSV2003 
and Study ALS-8176-503, respectively. In light of the 3 serious/severe AEs related to 
neutropenia/pancytopenia that have occurred in RSV-infected subjects exposed to lumicitabine, 
continued close monitoring of hematological parameters and clinical status in both RSV-infected 
and healthy subjects is warranted, as additional data are being collected in ongoing/future studies 
with lumicitabine. These hematological side effects observed in both nonclinical and clinical 
studies with lumicitabine were reversible.
In addition, JNJ-63549109 has been shown to cause clastogenicity, specifically breakage of 
chromosomes, through a non-DNA-reactive, indirect mechanism, resulting from an imbalance of 
intracellular nucleotide pools. The threshold of clastogenicity for JNJ-63549109, as defined by 
the lowest concentration where an effect was observed, 10 μg/mL for in vitro studies and an 
AUC of 107,983 ng.h/mL for in vivo studies. The NOEL for genotoxicity of JNJ-63549109 was 
5 μg/mL for in vitro studies and an AUC of 57,595 ng.h/mL was reported for in vivo studies.
Considering the clastogenicity changes in animal studies, JNJ-63549109 plasma exposures for 
human subjects will be limited to a maximum average AUC0-24h of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 
25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood) for any given dose. This threshold provides safety margins that 
are at least 2.7-fold lower than the lowest systemic NOAEL exposure obtained in nonclinical 
toxicity studies.
Potential risks associated with lumicitabine administration that might occur in humans are based 
on theoretical known risks associated with other nucleoside analogs. Theoretical risks for 
nucleoside analogs are neuropathy, mitochondrial dysfunction, myopathy (including
cardiomyopathy), lactic acidosis, hepatomegaly with steatosis and pancreatitis. None of these 
theoretical risks have been observed in lumicitabine studies to date.

All antivirals carry the potential risk of inducing resistance. However, it is not expected that the 
clinical course of the subject will be substantially influenced by the emergence of resistance, as 
RSV infection is typically an acute illness in otherwise healthy and non-immunocompromised 
pediatric subjects whose immune system eradicates the virus.
Study procedures such as blood sampling carry a potential risk to the subject because of their age 
and corresponding higher discomfort and lower blood volume. Several design characteristics of 
the study aim to minimize the stress and risks for the subject. The number of subjects exposed as 
part of the study has been limited to the absolute minimum to reach the PK objectives of the trial: 
for each of the subjects enrolled, the number of PK blood samples has been limited to 3, which 
have been carefully selected to yield the maximum information with the least possible number of 
blood samples. Pharmacokinetic sampling can be performed by venipuncture, or by heel or 
finger prick with collection of capillary blood. Alternatively they may be obtained through a 
venous or arterial line. It is permissible for investigators to use local anesthetics prior to sampling 
and investigators will be informed about this during the investigator meeting. Blood sampling for 
safety is also limited, with screening safety assessments in view of eligibility determination 
allowed to be performed using standard of care samples taken prior to study entry. Also, safety 
assessments performed as part of standard of care, when within the protocol visit window, can be 
used as for the safety follow-up during the study. Both of these measures aim at minimizing the 
number of specific sampling timepoints as well as blood volume drawn. Furthermore, the type of 
laboratory assessments for safety have been limited to the relevant ones in view of the 
(pre)clinical safety profile of lumicitabine, limiting the amount of blood needed and hence the 
duration of the sampling.
1.3.5.
Overall Benefit/Risk Assessment
Currently the only available treatment for RSV is supportive care for infants and children 
requiring hospitalization. Based on the available data and proposed safety measures, the overall 
risk/benefit assessment for this study is acceptable for the following reasons:

Continued careful study of the safety and PK is done in this study as well as evaluation of
the preliminary efficacy of lumicitabine as an antiviral treatment for RSV.

No safety concerns have previously been raised based on the safety information from 
healthy adult subjects and most observed AEs and laboratory abnormalities were mild to 
moderate in severity and considered not related to lumicitabine by the investigator (see 
Section 1.1, Background).

Safety concerns have been raised based on the safety data from adult and pediatric subjects 
infected with RSV (see Section 1.1.2, Information on the Product, Subsection Clinical 
Studies). To reduce risk to subjects:
o
An IDMC will be established to monitor data in an unblinded manner on a regular 
basis to ensure the continuing safety of the subjects enrolled in this study.
o
JNJ-63549109 plasma target exposures for human subjects will be limited to a 
maximum average AUC0-24h of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole 
blood) for any given dose. This threshold provides safety margins that are at least 
2.7-fold lower than the lowest systemic NOAEL exposure obtained in nonclinical 
toxicity studies.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017

Several safety measures have been proposed to minimize potential risk and stress to 
subjects, including:
o
Only subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion 
criteria (as specified in the protocol) will be allowed to participate in this study. 
The selection criteria include adequate provisions to minimize the risk and protect 
the well-being of subjects in the study.
o
Subjects are to be hospitalized upon treatment initiation allowing for intensive 
monitoring.
o
Close monitoring of subjects throughout the study (see Section 17.9, Monitoring).
o
Customary measures taken by investigational staff to ensure that study-specific 
assessments such as blood sampling are performed with as little additional stress as 
possible for the subject.
o
Utilization of data obtained from standard of care samples.
o
Safety surveillance will be performed in a manner that minimizes the total number 
of required invasive procedures (eg, blood draws) to minimize discomfort to study 
subjects. Laboratory monitoring of hematologic parameters is included as a safety 
assessment in all clinical studies with lumicitabine. Careful follow-up by the 
investigators and the sponsor study physician with frequent oversight by the 
study-specific IDMCs will continue as planned.
o
Utilization of discontinuation and withdrawal criteria (see Section 10.2, 
Discontinuation of Study Treatment/Withdrawal From the Study).

STUDY DESIGN AND RATIONALE
3.1.
Overview of Study Design
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of lumicitabine in 
hospitalized infants and children who are infected with RSV.
The selection of the design of this study (Option A or Option B) will be based on the number of 
subjects randomized and on the IDMC review of the data from the currently ongoing 
Study ALS-8176-503 of the subjects treated with 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine dose
regimen (Figure 1):

Option A (Section 3.1.1): This study design will be chosen if ≥9 subjects are randomized to 
the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects 
in total) and if the IDMC recommends using the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine 
regimen based on their review of the data from Study ALS-8176-503. Based on the data 
available at the time of protocol writing, 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD is the most likely dose 
regimen the IDMC will recommend. Option A will use the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD as 
the low lumicitabine dose and the 60 mg/kg LD/ 40 mg/kg MD (based on IDMC 
recommendation) as the high lumicitabine dose.

Option B (Section 3.1.2): This study design will be chosen if <9 subjects are randomized to 
the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (<12 subjects 
in total) and thus no IDMC-recommended dose will be available at the start of the study. 
Option B will use the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD as the low lumicitabine dose. This study 
design option may also be selected once ≥9 subjects
are randomized to the 
40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects in 
total) if:
o
Sponsor determines that additional doses should be evaluated.
o
IDMC-recommended
lumicitabine
dose 
is 
lower 
than 
the 
60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen.

Please refer to Section 1.1.2, Information on the Product, for more details about 
Study ALS-8176-503.
3.1.1.
Option A
Hospitalized infants and children who are infected with RSV will be randomly assigned to a 
treatment regimen in this study, with 60 subjects planned per regimen. At least 120 subjects are 
planned to be enrolled up to a maximum of 180 subjects. An effort will be made to enroll at least 
90 subjects aged between 28 days and 24 months and at least 12 subjects aged between 24 and 
36 months. The number of subjects with comorbidities will be limited to 20%; additional 
comorbid subjects aged between 24 and 36 months may be allowed to enroll if the 20% threshold 
is reached before 12 subjects aged between 24 and 36 months are enrolled into the study.
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Regimen A, B, or C:

Regimen A (low-dose lumicitabine): a single 40 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Regimen B (high-dose lumicitabine): a single 60 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
40 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily.


Regimen C (placebo): those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized 
in a 1:1 ratio (to match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 
to 10), administered twice daily.
o
A single 60 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 40 mg/kg placebo MDs 
(Doses 2 to 10), administered twice daily.
An IDMC (refer to Section 11.10, Independent Data Monitoring Committee, for details) will 
review the safety and PK data once the first 12 subjects and 30 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) to assess if enrollment of additional subjects may safely continue in each 
arm. After at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD 
lumicitabine regimen, the IDMC may recommend that sparse PK sampling be used for the other 
subjects. Subject recruitment and enrollment may continue while the data are being reviewed.
Subjects who are admitted to hospital due to RSV infection, including those who are otherwise 
healthy and those with underlying comorbidities (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age 
was <37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 
congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, 
or cystic fibrosis) can participate. However, enrollment of subjects with comorbidities can only 
start after at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD 
lumicitabine regimen, after their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC, and after 
the IDMC has recommended that the recruitment of subjects with underlying comorbidities may 
start. Screening should be completed as soon as possible and the subject randomized within 
≤5 days of RSV symptom onset. Procedures that are standard of care and performed within 
approximately 72 hours prior to randomization may be used in determining study eligibility or 
determining baseline values.
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of 
randomization (≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid 
condition for severe RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; 
for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, 
other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis).
Treatment with lumicitabine should be initiated as soon as possible but no later than 4 hours after 
randomization to maximize the opportunity for the compound to inhibit viral replication and 
potentially improve outcomes. The parent(s)/caregiver(s) will administer the study drug at home 
until all doses are administered if the subject is discharged prior to the completion of treatment. 
Subjects will be evaluated for a total of 28 days postrandomization. Depending on the discharge 
date, assessments will be completed either in the hospital or during outpatient visits. On Day 28,
all subjects will complete the study either as an inpatient or outpatient. The total study duration 
for each subject will be 28 days, screening phase not included.
The doses will not exceed those resulting in an expected average JNJ-63549109 plasma AUC0-24h
of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the 
lowest systemic NOAEL observed in nonclinical toxicity studies.

Assessments performed during the study will include: antiviral activity and an evaluation of the 
clinical course of RSV infection; safety and tolerability assessments (AEs, laboratory 
assessments, ECGs, physical examination, and vital signs/SpO2); PK assessments based on 
sparse sampling will be performed using a popPK model; sequence analysis of the L-gene to 
identify preexisting sequence polymorphisms, to characterize RSV variants and other regions of 
the RSV genome if warranted, and to evaluate emergence of any resistance-associated mutations; 
and exploratory biomarkers to determine the effects of lumicitabine on markers of RSV disease.
Given the challenges of assuring study-site preparation in time to recruit for an acute seasonal 
infection like RSV and the delays caused by implementing an amendment during an RSV 
season, the duration of dosing of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the IDMC 
based on the review of this study and data from other ongoing studies of lumicitabine.
Up to 2 formal interim analyses may be performed during the study. The first interim analysis 
will be performed once 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms have completed treatment 
(Day 5/6) or once 90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been enrolled and have 
completed treatment. The following situations will be considered based on the results at this 
stage: that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with 
>3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be 
limited to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); or that the study can continue unchanged. The 
treatment regimen may be modified after the first interim analysis, including increasing the 
treatment duration up to 10 days. After this analysis, randomization to 1 of the lumicitabine 
doses may be discontinued, the randomization ratio may change, and the study may not continue 
in subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization. The second interim analysis 
may be performed at the discretion of the sponsor once at least 120 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) (or at least 60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms). The following 
situations will be considered based on the results at this stage: that the study is considered futile; 
that superiority can be concluded; or that the study can continue unchanged. Based on the 
recommendations of the IDMC following these interim analyses/reviews of PK, efficacy, and 
safety data, changes to randomization ratios in the treatment arms or an increase in treatment
duration to 10 days may be implemented.
The design for Option A is provided in Figure 2.

between 24 and 36 months. The number of subjects with comorbidities will be limited to 20%; 
additional comorbid subjects aged between 24 and 36 months may be allowed to enroll if the 
20% threshold is reached before 12 subjects aged between 24 and 36 months are enrolled into the 
study.
Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 1 and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to lumicitabine Regimen 1 
or placebo:

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of 
lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Placebo: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of placebo, administered 
twice daily.
An IDMC will review the safety and PK data once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 1 have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) with the 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen (including 
subjects recruited in Study ALS-8176-503) to assess if recruitment to a new treatment regimen 
(Cohort 2) may safely start. Subject recruitment and enrollment for Cohort 1 may continue while 
the data are being reviewed.
The sponsor may skip recruitment into Cohort 1 (ie, no subjects would be enrolled into Cohort 1) 
and recruit subjects directly into Cohort 2 if ≥9 subjects have been treated with the 
40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen in Study ALS-8176-503 (≥12 subjects in 
total) and if those data have been reviewed by the IDMC. 
Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 2 and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to lumicitabine
Regimen 1, lumicitabine Regimen 2, or placebo:

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of 
lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Lumicitabine Regimen 2: a single LD followed by 9 MDs of lumicitabine Regimen 2, 
administered twice daily. The IDMC will provide a dose recommendation for Regimen 2.

Placebo: those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized in a 1:1 ratio 
(to match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 
to 10) of placebo, administered twice daily.
o
A single placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of placebo 
matching Regimen 2, administered twice daily.

An IDMC will review the safety and PK data from Cohort 2 once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 2 
have completed treatment (Day 5/6) with the active lumicitabine Regimen 2. Subject recruitment 
and enrollment for Cohort 2 may continue while the data are being reviewed.
A third dose may be evaluated, upon IDMC recommendation, based on the emerging safety and 
PK profile. Subjects will be enrolled into Cohort 3 and randomized in a 1:3:2 ratio to 
lumicitabine Regimen 1, lumicitabine Regimen 3, or placebo:

Lumicitabine Regimen 1: a single 40 mg/kg LD followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs of 
lumicitabine, administered twice daily. 

Lumicitabine Regimen 3: a single LD followed by 9 MDs of lumicitabine Regimen 3, 
administered twice daily. The IDMC will provide a dose recommendation for the 
lumicitabine Regimen 3.

Placebo: Those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized in a 1:3 ratio 
(to match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 
to 10) of placebo, administered twice daily.
o
A single placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of placebo 
matching Regimen 3, administered twice daily.
An IDMC will review safety and PK data from Cohort 3 once 9 subjects in that cohort have 
completed treatment (Day 5/6) with the active lumicitabine Regimen 3, at which stage the IDMC 
will select either lumicitabine Regimen 2 or lumicitabine Regimen 3 to be used with placebo and 
lumicitabine Regimen 1 for the remainder of the study. Depending on the selected doses, other 
randomization schemes may be selected for the remainder of the study. Subject recruitment and 
enrollment for Cohort 3 may continue while the data are being reviewed. Subjects will continue 
to be enrolled and treated in Cohort 2 up to a maximum of 180 subjects if a third dose regimen is 
not evaluated.
The sponsor/IDMC may recommend that the cohort regimens be adjusted or removed, given the 
active nature of the development program and the ongoing assessment of all the available data.
Subjects who are admitted to hospital due to RSV infection, including those who are otherwise 
healthy and those with underlying comorbidities (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age 
was <37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 
congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, 
or cystic fibrosis) can participate. However, enrollment of subjects with comorbidities can only 
start once at least 9 subjects in Cohort 2 have completed treatment with the active lumicitabine 
Regimen 2 and after their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC. If subjects are 
enrolled into Cohort 3, then enrollment of subjects with comorbidities can only start once at least 
9 subjects in this cohort have completed treatment with the active lumicitabine Regimen 3 and 
after their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC. Screening should be completed 
as soon as possible and the subject randomized within ≤5 days of RSV symptom onset.

Procedures that are standard of care and performed within approximately 72 hours prior to 
randomization may be used in determining study eligibility or determining baseline values. 
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of 
randomization (≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid 
condition for severe RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; 
for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, 
other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis).
Treatment with lumicitabine should be initiated as soon as possible but no later than 4 hours after 
randomization to maximize the opportunity for the compound to inhibit viral replication and 
potentially improve outcomes. The parent(s)/caregiver(s) will administer the study drug at home 
until all doses are administered if the subject is discharged prior to the completion of treatment. 
Subjects will be evaluated for a total of 28 days postrandomization. Depending on the discharge 
date, assessments will be completed either in the hospital or during outpatient visits. On Day 28,
all subjects will complete the study either as an inpatient or outpatient. The total study duration 
for each subject will be 28 days, screening phase not included.
The doses will not exceed those resulting in an expected average JNJ-63549109 plasma AUC0-24h
of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the 
lowest systemic NOAEL observed in nonclinical toxicity studies. 
Assessments performed during the study will include: antiviral activity and an evaluation of the 
clinical course of RSV infection; safety and tolerability assessments (AEs, laboratory 
assessments, ECGs, physical examination, and vital signs/SpO2); PK assessments based on 
sparse sampling will be performed using a popPK model; sequence analysis of the L-gene to 
identify preexisting sequence polymorphisms, to characterize RSV variants and other regions of 
the RSV genome if warranted, and to evaluate emergence of any resistance-associated mutations; 
and exploratory biomarkers to determine the effects of lumicitabine on markers of RSV disease. 
Given the challenges of assuring study-site preparation in time to recruit for an acute seasonal 
infection like RSV and the delays caused by implementing an amendment during an RSV 
season, the duration of dosing of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the IDMC 
based on the review of this study and data from other ongoing studies of lumicitabine.
Up to 2 formal interim analyses will be performed during the study. The first interim analysis 
will be performed once 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms have completed treatment or 
once 90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been enrolled and have completed 
treatment. The following situations will be considered based on the data analysis at this stage: 
that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with >3 to 
≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be limited 
to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); or that the study can continue unchanged. The treatment 
regimen may be modified after the first interim analysis, including increasing the treatment
duration up to 10 days. After this analysis, randomization to 1 of the lumicitabine doses may be 
discontinued, the randomization ratios may change, and the study may not continue in subjects

with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization. The second interim analysis may be 
performed at the discretion of the sponsor once at least 120 subjects have completed treatment
(Day 5/6) (or 60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms). The following situations will be 
considered based on the data analysis at this stage: that the study is considered futile; that 
superiority can be concluded; or that the study can continue unchanged. Based on the 
recommendations of the IDMC following these interim analyses/reviews of PK, efficacy, and 
safety data, changes to randomization ratios in the treatment arms or an increase in treatment
duration to 10 days may be implemented.

Study Design Rationale
Blinding, Control, Randomization, and Stratification
There is no approved treatment routinely used for RSV infection. A placebo control will be used 
to establish the frequency and magnitude of changes in virologic and clinical endpoints that may 
occur in the absence of active treatment. The use of a placebo control will allow for any AEs or 
laboratory abnormalities observed during the course of the study to be evaluated properly ie, to 
be able to differentiate between events potentially related to the use of lumicitabine versus those 
related to the underlying disease.
Randomization will be used to minimize bias in the assignment of subjects to treatment 
regimens, to increase the likelihood that known and unknown subject attributes (eg, demographic 
and baseline characteristics) are evenly balanced across treatment regimens, and to enhance the 
validity of statistical comparisons across treatment regimens. 
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of 
randomization (≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid 
condition for severe RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; 
for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, 
other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis). 
Presence or absence of a comorbid condition is selected as a stratification factor due to the more 
severe nature of RSV infections in subjects with these conditions. Duration of symptoms onset is 
selected because it is anticipated that there will be a larger treatment effect in subjects with onset 
of symptoms ≤3 days. Stratification on duration of symptom onset will allow a well-balanced 
assessment to be made at the first interim analysis if the treatment effect depends on the onset of 
RSV symptoms.

Blinded treatment will be used to reduce potential bias during data collection and evaluation of 
clinical endpoints.
Doses Selected
The doses selected for this study are based on PK/PD modeling, which was developed to 
characterize the in vivo antiviral activity of lumicitabine, based on the data from the RSV 
challenge study in healthy adult subjects (Study ALS-8176-502) and on the interim data from a 
study in infants hospitalized with RSV infection (Study ALS-8176-503). The model was used to 
characterize the exposure-response relationships of JNJ-63549109 in adults, and then scaled to
pediatrics to account for differences in PK. To characterize the exposure-response relationships, 
a semi-mechanistic model was utilized to describe the conversion of plasma JNJ-63549109 to the 
active NTP in lung tissue. The model was fit simultaneously to the PK and viral kinetic data for 
both placebo- and lumicitabine-receiving subjects from Study ALS-8176-502. A sigmoid 
maximum efficacy relationship described the NTP inhibition of RSV production. The model 
estimated the NTP 50% effective concentration and 90% effective concentration to be 1.79 μM 
and 2.64 μM, respectively, which is generally consistent with the reported in vitro half maximal
inhibitory concentration (0.23 μM) and 90% inhibitory concentration (3 μM) against a different 
strain of RSV. To scale these results to pediatric subjects, simulations were conducted using a 
popPK model developed for adults and pediatric subjects, to estimate pediatric doses that would 
result in NTP lung exposures exceeding the model-determined 90% effective concentration 
(EC90) and 99% of maximal effective concentration  and 3×EC90 targets, and that would be 
similar to adult exposures. The proposed dose regimens are projected to rapidly (within 1 to 
2 hours following dosing) achieve and maintain lung tissue concentrations at least 3×EC90
throughout the duration of treatment in the majority of the subjects.
Because RSV is an acute infection, achieving therapeutic concentrations rapidly is an important 
consideration for treatment. Therefore, LD regimens were evaluated, considering not only 
achievement of the above targets, but also time to achieve these targets. To account for popPK
variability, the probability of and time to target attainment across the population (median and 
95% percentiles) were also considered. The assessment of twice daily dose regimens in the study 
is supported by the long in vitro intracellular t1/2 of the NTP (17.6 hours in normal human
bronchial epithelial cells) and the observed sustained levels of the NTP in monkey lungs 
(estimated t1/2 of approximately 29 hours).
Overall, based on the currently available data, it is expected that the proposed dose regimens are 
in the effective range of lumicitabine in infants and children, which includes a single 
40 mg/kg LD followed by an MD regimen of nine 20 mg/kg doses given twice daily or a single 
60 mg/kg LD followed by an MD regimen of nine 40 mg/kg doses given twice daily. At the 
proposed dose of 40 mg/kg LD/20 mg/kg MD, plasma JNJ-63549109 exposures in infants and 
children are projected to be at or slightly above levels observed in healthy adult subjects in the 
RSV challenge study where potent antiviral activity was noted (AUC0-24h approximately 
10,000 ng.h/mL, ALS-8176-502) (Table 3). Based on the current popPK model and simulations, 
a viable high dose regimen is 60 mg/kg LD followed by nine 40 mg/kg MDs given twice daily as 
it provides plasma exposures (mean AUC0-24h) that are projected to be <20,000 ng.h/mL for all

age groups (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood). Simulations of the typical lung NTP exposure 
showed that both dose regimens rapidly achieved concentrations above EC90 (the highest 
concentration required to achieve 90% inhibition of virus replication across all RSV strains 
tested in vitro).

It is important to note that these projections are based on predicted pediatric PK, and will 
continue to be revised and updated as pediatric data are collected in the ongoing 
Study ALS-8176-503. Given the active nature of the ongoing development program, the IDMC 
may recommend that dose regimens be removed or adjusted based on safety and/or viral activity 
considerations from ongoing studies. Irrespective of the dose, the average projected 
JNJ-63549109 plasma exposure (Table 3) is expected not to exceed a projected average AUC0-24h
of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the 
lowest systemic NOAEL observed in nonclinical toxicity studies. 
The active regimens evaluated in this design will be selected to provide a range of plasma 
JNJ-63549109 and intracellular JNJ-63549109-nucleoside triphosphate exposures aimed at 
providing information on efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK in the target population of infants 
and children who are aged ≥28 days to ≤36 months and who are hospitalized with RSV.
Treatment Duration
Treatment will last for 5 days as this was the duration of treatment assessed in healthy adult 
subjects infected with RSV in a human challenge model (Study ALS-8176-502), which 
demonstrated substantial declines in RSV viral load and improvement in RSV signs and 
symptoms (see Section 1.1). Five days is also the duration being studied in the MAD part of 
Study ALS-8176-503 in pediatric subjects. The long terminal t1/2 of the NTP is anticipated to 
provide therapeutic levels of the active NTP beyond the 5-day treatment duration. The treatment 
duration may be extended to up to 10 days if recommended by the IDMC, based on emerging 
data from ongoing clinical studies with lumicitabine.

Clinical Outcomes of RSV Treatment
Treatment with lumicitabine may reduce the severity and duration of RSV signs and symptoms 
and their impact on functioning, reduce the need for and duration of supportive care (eg, oxygen 
supplementation, intravenous (IV) fluids, days of hospitalization), and accelerate the subjects’ 
return to pre-RSV health status. The study will compare treatment regimens to evaluate the 
impact of treatment with lumicitabine on the clinical course of RSV disease.
Pharmacokinetic Sampling Schedule
To maximize the information and design of ongoing and future pediatric studies where PK 
samples are collected, optimal sampling strategies have been utilized. The approach for PK 
sample optimization utilizes the population Fisher information matrix software package 
(Version 4), which is specifically designed for optimizing sampling strategies for nonlinear 
mixed-effects models.4 Briefly, the popPK model for lumicitabine is put into the software 
package and optimal sampling timepoints for key model parameters are derived. The Fisher 
information matrix uses D-optimality criteria for design optimization, where a design is 
considered to be optimal if it maximizes the determinant of population Fischer information 
matrix, resulting in minimization of the confidence region for parameter estimates. In addition to 
optimizing sampling times based on information content, logistics and feasibility are also 
considered as part of the final PK timepoint selection. Based on these criteria, PK samples will 
be taken in this study, where sampling will be done in conjunction with other laboratory 
assessments when possible to further minimize blood collection; each PK sample only requires a 
minimal volume of blood.
Biomarker Collection
Biomarker samples can be obtained from leftover mid-turbinate nasal swab samples and blood 
samples collected for PK testing to evaluate the role biomarkers (eg, proteins including 
cytokines) may play in the treatment response, safety of lumicitabine, or the status and change of 
the RSV-related disease. They may help to explain interindividual variability in clinical 
outcomes or to identify population subgroups that respond differently to a drug. 
Biomarker samples may be used to help address emerging issues and to enable the development 
of safer, more effective, and ultimately individualized therapies.
Biomarker analyses may be performed upon the discretion of the sponsor and will be reported 
separately.
Medical Resource Utilization and Health Economics Data Collection
Treatment with lumicitabine may result in lower utilization of hospital or outpatient healthcare 
services.

SUBJECT POPULATION
Screening for eligible subjects will be performed as soon as possible following admission to the 
ER or hospitalization, such that subjects are randomized within 5 days of RSV symptom onset.
Special attention will be paid to determine the duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of 
randomization as accurately as possible. Male or female infants and children ≥28 days to 
≤36 months of age diagnosed with RSV infection based on a PCR-based diagnostic assay (with 
or without coinfection with another respiratory pathogen) who have been (or will be) admitted to 
the hospital and whose parents have signed informed consent will be enrolled. Subjects who 
were admitted to the hospital for another reason but develop an acute respiratory illness while 
being hospitalized are also eligible for screening.
The inclusion and exclusion criteria for enrolling subjects in this study are described in the 
following 2 subsections. If there is a question about the inclusion or exclusion criteria below, the 
investigator must consult with the appropriate sponsor representative and resolve any issues 
before enrolling a subject in the study. Waivers are not allowed.
For a discussion of the statistical considerations of subject selection, refer to Section 11.2, 
Sample Size Determination.
4.1.
Inclusion Criteria
Each potential subject must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
1.
Male or female infants and children ≥28 days to ≤36 months of age, defined at the time 
of randomization.
2.
Subjects hospitalized (or in ER) at the time of randomization and unlikely to be 
discharged for the first 24 hours after randomization. 
3.
Subjects diagnosed with RSV infection using a PCR-based molecular diagnostic assay, 
with or without coinfection with another respiratory pathogen (respiratory virus or 
bacteria).
NOTE: In cases where commercial PCR-based assays are not available at the site, the 
sponsor should be consulted for agreement on the assay to be used. 
4.
Subjects who have an acute respiratory illness with signs and symptoms consistent with 
a viral infection (eg, fever, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, myalgia, 
lethargy, shortness of breath, or wheezing) with onset ≤5 days from the anticipated time 
of randomization. Onset of symptoms is defined as the first time (within 1 hour) the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) becomes aware of respiratory or systemic symptoms of RSV 
infection.
5.
With the exception of the symptoms related to the RSV infection or defined comorbid 
condition for severe RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was 
<37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia,

congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular 
impairment, or cystic fibrosis), subjects must be medically stable on the basis of 
physical examination, medical history, vital signs/SpO2, and ECG performed at 
screening. If there are abnormalities, they must be consistent with the underlying 
condition in the study population and/or the RSV infection. This determination must be 
recorded in the subject’s source documents and initialed by the investigator. Subjects 
with comorbidities will be allowed to be enrolled once the IDMC has reviewed the PK 
and safety data of the highest dose that will be used in this study and once the IDMC
has recommended opening recruitment to this group. Sites will be notified when the 
restriction is lifted.
6.
Subjects must be medically stable on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at 
screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel or hematology are outside the 
normal reference ranges, the subject may be included only if the investigator judges the 
abnormalities or deviations from normal do not pose an unacceptable risk to the subject, 
are not clinically significant, or are appropriate and reasonable for the population under 
study, and have no specific cutoff per the exclusion criteria. This determination must be 
recorded in the subject’s source documents and initialed by the investigator. A single 
repeat laboratory evaluation is allowed for eligibility determination.
7.
The subject’s estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is not below the lower limit of 
normal for the subject’s age (Schwartz equation calculation see Attachment 3). 
8.
In the investigator’s opinion, the subject’s legally acceptable representative understands 
and is able to comply with protocol requirements, instructions, and protocol-stated 
restrictions, and the subject is likely to complete the study as planned.
9.
The subject’s legally acceptable representative must sign an informed consent form 
(ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, 
the study and is willing for the subject to participate in the study.
4.2.
Exclusion Criteria
Any potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating 
in the study:
1.
Subjects who are not expected to survive for more than 48 hours. 
2.
Subjects who have had major thoracic or abdominal surgery in the 6 weeks prior to 
randomization.

TREATMENT ALLOCATION AND BLINDING
Treatment Allocation
Procedures for Randomization and Stratification
Central randomization will be implemented in this study. Subjects will be randomly assigned 
based on a computer-generated randomization schedule prepared before the start of the study by 
or under the supervision of the sponsor. The randomization will be balanced by using randomly 
permuted blocks and will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of
randomization (≤3 days versus >3 to ≤5 days) and by presence or absence of comorbidity. The 
interactive web response system (IWRS) will assign a unique treatment code, which will dictate 
the treatment assignment and matching study drug kit for the subject. The requestor must use his 
or her own user identification and personal identification number when contacting the IWRS, 
and will then give the relevant subject details to uniquely identify the subject.
Blinding
The investigator will not be provided with randomization codes. The codes will be maintained 
within the IWRS, which has the functionality to allow the investigator to break the blind for an 
individual subject.
Data that may potentially unblind the treatment assignment (ie, study drug serum concentrations, 
study drug preparation/accountability data, treatment allocation, biomarker or other specific 
laboratory data) will be handled with special care to ensure that the integrity of the blind is 
maintained and the potential for bias is minimized. This can include making special provisions, 
such as segregating the data in question from view by the investigators, clinical team, or others 
as appropriate until the time of database lock and unblinding.
Under normal circumstances, the blind should not be broken until the unblinded IDMC review 
takes place (see Section 11.10, Data Monitoring Committee). The blind will be broken for the 
interim analyses (see Section 11.9, Interim Analysis) or when all subjects have completed the 
study and the database is finalized. Otherwise, the blind should be broken only if specific 
emergency treatment/course of action would be dictated by knowing the treatment status of the 
subject. In such cases, the investigator may in an emergency determine the identity of the 
treatment by contacting the IWRS. It is strongly recommended that the investigator contact the 
sponsor or its designee if possible to discuss the particular situation, before breaking the blind. 
Telephone contact with the sponsor or its designee will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per 
week. In the event the blind is broken, the sponsor must be informed as soon as possible. The 
date, time, and reason for the unblinding must be documented by the IWRS, in the appropriate 
section of the electronic case report form (eCRF) and in the source document. The 
documentation received from the IWRS indicating the code break must be retained with the 
subject’s source documents in a secure manner.
Subjects who have had their treatment assignment unblinded should continue to return for 
scheduled evaluations. Discontinuation of study treatment should be done only for the reasons

stated in Section 10.2, Discontinuation of Study Treatment/Withdrawal From the Study; 
unblinding of study treatment should not necessarily lead to study drug discontinuation.
In general, randomization codes will be disclosed fully only if the study is completed and the 
clinical database is closed. However, if an interim analysis is specified, the randomization codes 
and, if required, the translation of randomization codes into treatment and control groups will be 
disclosed to those authorized and only for those subjects included in the interim analysis.
In the event that the subject continues into the long-term follow-up study, then the subject and 
investigator will remain blinded until the follow-up study is completed.
6.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The study drug will be provided as a powder for suspension for oral administration. Study drug 
administration should start as soon as possible, but no later than 4 hours after randomization in 
order to maximize the opportunity for the compound to inhibit viral replication and potentially 
improve outcomes.
Subjects will be dosed with a single LD followed by 9 MDs twice daily (minimum 8 hours and 
maximum 16 hours apart with no more than 2 doses per calendar day) during Day 1 to Day 5/6 
(depending on the timing of the LD).
Administration of each dose should occur at approximately the same time each day and after the 
once-daily collection of the mid-turbinate nasal swab. Lumicitabine can be administered without 
regard to food. The date and time of dose administration, the date and time of food intake 
(limited to the food ingested within 30 minutes before or after study drug administration), and 
the type of food will be recorded in the eCRF for hospitalized subjects.
Lumicitabine and placebo will be supplied as a powder in amber glass bottles containing 
1,891 mg lumicitabine or placebo with a child-resistant cap. The powder should be suspended 
with solvent prior to oral administration, providing a 60 mg/mL suspension, under the 
supervision of the investigator or a qualified member of the study-site personnel, or by a 
hospital/clinic pharmacist. Instructions for preparation of weight-based study formulations are 
provided in the pharmacy manual.
In case a dose is missed, the dose may be given up to 6 hours after the scheduled time. If more 
time has elapsed the dose should be skipped and the next dose should be given at the next 
scheduled timepoint per the initial dose schedule.
In case the subject is discharged prior to the completion of dosing, study drug administration will 
continued at home by the parent(s)/caregiver(s) until all doses are administered (Day 5/6). The 
investigator/study-site personnel will instruct parent(s)/caregiver(s) on how to store study drug 
for at-home use as indicated for this protocol (see pharmacy manual).
An overdose in this study is defined as a calculated dose exceeding the planned dose.

7.
TREATMENT COMPLIANCE
Study drug will be administered orally or via nasogastric tube (if applicable) by designated 
study-site personnel at the study-site during hospitalization. The investigator/study-site personnel 
will maintain a log of all study drug administered. Drug supplies for each subject will be 
inventoried and accounted for.
In the event of the subject being discharged (after Day 2 procedures) from hospital during the 
dosing period, the parent(s)/caregiver(s) will administer study drug at home and will be required 
to document the dose of study drug in a study medication log on the electronic device provided 
during screening.
Parent(s)/caregiver(s) will receive instructions on compliance with study drug administration on 
the day of hospital discharge. During the course of the study, the investigator or designated 
study-site personnel will be responsible for providing additional instruction to re-educate any 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) who is not able to ensure compliance with the study drug.
In case of vomiting or regurgitation, the subject should not be redosed. If the subject vomits, 
regurgitates, or does not completely swallow the study drug, it should be recorded in the eCRF,
source documents (during hospitalization) and in the electronic parent(s)/caregiver(s) eCOA 
device (post discharge).
8.
PRESTUDY AND CONCOMITANT THERAPY
Prestudy therapies administered up to 7 days before first dose of study drug must be recorded at 
screening.
All subjects will receive supportive care according to local institution standards and applicable 
guidelines. While treatment guidelines and standards vary based on local practice and should be 
considered in the management of subjects, within the parameters of this study, it is recommended 
that supplemental oxygen can be administered or withdrawn, as appropriate, to maintain an SpO2
≥93% as long as it is medically indicated (for subjects whose baseline SpO2 is ≥93% when 
clinically stable).
Concomitant therapies must be recorded throughout the study beginning with start of the first 
dose of study drug to the Day 28 visit (±2 days). During hospitalization, concomitant medication 
will be recorded by the site staff in the eCRF. Upon discharge, parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be 
required to document use of concomitant medication in the electronic device in a medication log, 
which will serve as basis for recording in the eCRF by the site staff. Concomitant therapies 
should also be recorded beyond Day 28 in the subject’s medical notes and reported by SAE 
forms (if applicable).
All therapies (prescription or over-the-counter medications, including vaccines, vitamins, herbal 
supplements, home oxygen therapy and non-pharmacologic therapies such as electrical 
stimulation, acupuncture, special diets, exercise regimens) different from the study drug must be 
recorded in the eCRF. Recorded information will include a description of the type of the 
drug/therapy, treatment phase, dose regimen, route of administration, and its indication.

Modification of an effective preexisting chronic therapy should not be made for the explicit 
purpose of entering a subject into the study; however, if a subject has received acute doses of a 
prohibited drug, switching to an alternative drug chosen at the discretion of the investigator 
should be allowed.
Concomitant medications are permitted as indicated for the management of study subjects with 
the exception of the medications noted here. The following medications are not permitted during 
the study and for the time period prior to randomization as noted:

Moderate/strong inhibitors of OAT3: diclofenac, diflunisal, gemfibrozil, mycophenolic acid, 
piperacillin, probenecid, and teriflunomide (all within 24 hours prior to randomization). 

Systemic medications (either chronically [more than 14 days] or within 21 days prior to 
randomization), which are known to modulate the host’s immune response or increase viral 
shedding, such as immunomodulatory therapies, except for systemic corticosteroids as noted 
below.

Systemic corticosteroids are acceptable if they are taken acutely (14 days or less prior to 
randomization).

Prescription medications intended to prevent or treat the RSV infection itself (eg, ribavirin, 
IV immunoglobulin, palivizumab), an investigational drug, an investigational vaccine, or 
use of an invasive investigational medical device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever 
is longer) before the planned first dose of study drug. Prescription medications intended to 
treat the symptoms/sequelae of the RSV infection are permitted.

Measles, mumps, and rubella (single or combination) vaccine within 1 week before 
screening, according to parent report.
The sponsor must be notified in advance (or as soon as possible thereafter) of any instances in 
which prohibited therapies are administered.

STUDY EVALUATIONS
9.1.
Study Procedures
9.1.1.
Overview
The Time and Events Schedules summarize the frequency and timing of efficacy, PK, biomarker, 
medical resource utilization, health economic, and safety measurements applicable to this study. 
There are 2 Time and Events Schedules: 1 schedule for subjects who are hospitalized (up to their 
hospital discharge); 1 schedule for subjects after they are discharged from the hospital. Repeat or 
unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues with the samples.
The eCOA device will be provided to the parent(s)/caregiver(s) at screening to record the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) ratings of the severity of the subject's symptoms (PRESORS) (see 
Attachment 5). The parent(s)/caregiver(s) will complete the eCOA twice daily (in the morning 
and in the evening); after Day 14, eCOA will be completed once daily in the evening (at 
approximately the same time each day) until the end of the study for subjects who have been
discharged from the hospital. Whenever possible, the same parent(s)/caregiver(s) should

complete the eCOA throughout the study. The first parent/caregiver assessment on Day 1 needs 
to be recorded predose, before the LD. If the screening assessment was performed less than 
8 hours prior to the LD, the predose assessment does not need to be performed. The first 
postdose parent/caregiver assessment must be performed between 6 and 12 hours after the LD 
(on Day 1 or Day 2, depending on the time of LD).
The investigator/study-site personnel will provide sufficient information to enable the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) to complete the parent(s)/caregiver(s) eCOA and will ensure that the 
eCOA is completed correctly and on schedule to avoid missing or incorrect data. 
Prior to completing the screening assessment, the parent(s)/caregiver(s) must complete a training 
module (included as part of the eCOA device) on how to enter responses to questions in the 
eCOA device. Study-site personnel will review the completion of the parent(s)/caregiver(s) 
eCOA on a daily basis.
The clinician eCOA (Attachment 5) will be completed by the investigator twice daily for the 
entire duration of hospitalization and once daily at the Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28 visits 
during outpatient follow-up.
If multiple assessments are scheduled for the same timepoint, it is recommended that procedures 
be performed in the following sequence: noninvasive procedures should be collected first before 
invasive procedures (eCOA [parent/caregiver and clinician eCOA can be completed at the same 
time]; ECG first, then vital signs/SpO2, then mid-turbinate nasal swab, with blood draw last). 
However, mid-turbinate nasal swabs for RSV viral load and blood collections for PK 
assessments should be kept as close to the specified time as possible. Other measurements may 
be done earlier than specified timepoints if needed. Actual dates and times of assessments will be 
recorded in the source documentation and eCRF. Electronic COA devices will automatically 
record the date and time of the eCOA assessments.
If treatment duration is extended up to 10 days, subjects will have an additional clinic visit 1 day 
(+2 days) after their last dose.
Medical resource utilization and health economics data will be collected. Refer to Section 9.6, 
Medical Resource Utilization and Health Economics, for details.
One additional PK assessment will be performed as indicated in the Time and Events Schedules 
for the first 9 subjects treated with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD lumicitabine regimen if the 
Option A design (Section 3.1.1) is chosen and for the first 9 subjects in each cohort treated with 
the highest active lumicitabine regimen available in their respective cohort if the Option B design 
(Section 3.1.2) is chosen.
The results of clinical/safety evaluations that are performed as part of routine clinical care while 
hospitalized will be collected in the eCRF for viral, safety, and/or clinical evaluations.

9.1.2.
Screening Phase
The procedures specified in the Time and Events Schedules will only be performed after the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) written informed consent has been obtained.
Screening should be completed as soon as possible and the subject will be randomized within 
5 days of RSV symptom onset to ensure the eligibility of the subject. Special attention should be 
paid to determine the duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of randomization as 
accurately as possible. Procedures performed as part of standard of care within approximately 
72 hours prior to randomization may be used in determining study eligibility or determining 
baseline values. The results of the safety laboratory tests performed at the local laboratory must 
be in accordance with Section 4, Subject Population. The investigator may consider the subject 
eligible if the previously abnormal laboratory test result is within normal range on a repeat 
testing in the local laboratory. Repeat testing is only allowed once.
During screening, 1 mid-turbinate nasal swab (if non-intubated) or 1 endotracheal sample (if 
intubated) will be collected and aliquoted for:

RSV diagnosis using a PCR-based assay (at the local laboratory).

RSV diagnosis confirmation using a PCR-based assay (at the central laboratory).

Examination of viral and bacterial coinfection using multiplex PCR (at the central 
laboratory).

Leftover mid-turbinate nasal swab samples will be stored and may be used for biomarker 
research if warranted.
9.1.3.
Double-blind Treatment Phase
Day 1 (Day of Randomization and Loading Dose)
Eligible subjects will be randomized on Day 1. Study drug administration should start as soon as 
possible, but no later than 4 hours after randomization. Subjects will be dosed with a single oral 
LD on Day 1. Depending on the time of screening/enrollment, subjects will receive the first MD 
of study drug on Day 1. Subjects will receive no more than 2 doses per calendar day.
Assessments to be performed on Day 1 are specified in the Time and Events Schedule. The 
mid-turbinate nasal swab (if non-intubated) or the mid-turbinate nasal swab and endotracheal 
sample (if intubated) should be taken as close as possible to and before the LD on Day 1.
Day 2 to Day 5/6 (End of Treatment)
Study drug administration continues until 10 doses have been taken unless treatment duration is 
extended. Subjects will receive 9 MDs without regard to food intake twice daily (at least 8 hours 
apart and maximum 16 hours apart, with no more than 2 doses per calendar day) through Day 5/6 
(depending on the timing of the LD). The date and time of dose administration, the date and time 
of food intake (limited to the food ingested within 30 minutes before or after study drug 
administration), and the type of food will be recorded in the eCRF for hospitalized subjects. The 
subject may be discharged after Day 2 following completion of study procedures. Subjects may

also remain hospitalized if warranted by the subject’s clinical status. In case the subject is 
discharged prior to the completion of treatment, study drug will continue to be administered at 
home by the parent(s)/caregiver(s) until all doses are administered. Instructions regarding study 
drug administration will be given to the parent(s)/caregiver(s) by the investigator or a qualified 
member of the study-site personnel. 
Assessments will be performed as detailed in the Time and Events Schedules. The 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) eCOA and the mid-turbinate nasal swabs (if non-intubated) (from the same 
nostril throughout the study) or endotracheal samples (if intubated) are to be taken once daily 
prior to study drug administration at approximately the same time each day. In case of nostril 
bleeding or irritation during the collection of a mid-turbinate nasal swab, all subsequent nasal 
swabs will be performed on the contralateral nostril. Should the study drug duration be increased 
to up to 10 days (following review of the data by the IDMC), samples will be taken every day up 
to and including 1 day (+2 days) following the last dose of study drug. Samples will be collected 
through Day 6 whether the subject is in hospital or has been discharged. In case mid-turbinate 
nasal swabs are collected at home, the subject's parent(s)/caregiver(s) should collect nasal swab 
specimens after being trained by the investigator/study-site personnel. Parent(s)/Caregiver(s) of 
subjects will be required to document the actual dates and times of collection of the nasal swab at 
home on the electronic device used for eCOA. Nasal swabs collected at home should be stored 
immediately between 2°C and 8°C (in the refrigerator) and brought to the site at the next visit. 
Hospitalization duration will not be extended solely for study purposes. Telephone calls to 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) to facilitate compliance with study procedures between outpatient study 
visits are encouraged.
9.1.4.
Posttreatment Phase (Follow-up)
Days 7 to 28
Subjects will be evaluated for a total of 28 days after randomization. If they are not hospitalized 
they will be required to return to the hospital for follow-up assessments as an outpatient on 
Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28 as indicated in the Time and Events Schedules. On Day 28 
all subjects will complete the study either as an inpatient or outpatient.
Should the study drug duration be increased to up to 10 days (following review of the data by the 
IDMC, refer to Section 11.10, Independent Data Monitoring Committee), additional study drug 
may be provided if needed. If a subject is discontinued from study drug, a follow-up visit will be 
scheduled 2 days (+2 days), 5 days (+2 days), 9 days (+2 days), and 23 days (±2 days) after the 
last dose of study drug was administered. Assessments should be performed as indicated in the 
Time and Events Schedules, respectively for the Day 7, Day 10, Day 14, and Day 28 visits.
9.2.
Efficacy Evaluations
Viral Load Determination
As an evaluation of antiviral activity of lumicitabine, RSV viral load will be measured in
mid-turbinate nasal swabs (obtained from non-intubated subjects) or in mid-turbinate nasal 
NCT03333317

swabs and endotracheal samples (obtained from intubated subjects or via suction through 
tracheostomy or other sampling methods) using qRT-PCR performed at the central laboratory. 
Samples for the determination of RSV viral load will be taken as close as possible and before the 
LD on Day 1 and once daily at approximately the same time each day prior to study drug 
administration between Day 2 and Day 6 (whether hospitalized or not), and at the Day 7, Day 10, 
Day 14, and Day 28 visits. For each subject, the different mid-turbinate nasal swabs should be 
collected from the same nostril. However, in case of nostril bleeding or irritation during the 
collection of a mid-turbinate nasal swab, all subsequent nasal swabs will be performed on the 
contralateral nostril.
Quantitative culture of RSV using plaque assay may be performed centrally at timepoints 
selected by the virologist.
Should the study drug duration be increased to up to 10 days (following review of the data by the 
IDMC), 1 mid-turbinate nasal swab (if non-intubated) or 1 mid-turbinate nasal swab and 
1 endotracheal sample (if intubated) will be taken every day, at approximately the same time, up 
to and including 1 day (+2 days) following the last dose of study drug.
Viral L-gene Sequencing for Viral Resistance
Viral sequencing analysis will be performed by sequencing the polymerase L-gene and other 
regions of the RSV genome (if warranted) in samples taken before treatment (at baseline), during 
treatment, and posttreatment, to identify preexisting sequence polymorphisms and to characterize 
emerging RSV variants. 
The L-gene will be sequenced pretreatment in all subjects and postbaseline in subjects not 
achieving viral suppression. The sequencing of postbaseline samples may be triggered at the 
discretion of the sponsor’s virologist, based on the changes in RSV viral load observed in each 
individual subject and the limits of the sequencing assay and taking into account the limits of the 
sequencing assay. The impact of newly identified mutations on in vitro antiviral activity of 
lumicitabine will be assessed.
Other regions of the RSV genome may also be sequenced at the sponsor’s discretion. The impact 
of the baseline viral genotype and subtype on the antiviral activity will be explored.
The sequencing methods of the L-gene and other regions of the RSV genome will be described 
in a separate laboratory manual.
Clinical Course of RSV Infection
The study will include, but may not be limited to, the following evaluations of the clinical course 
of RSV infection:

Requirement for and duration of oxygen supplementation/noninvasive mechanical 
ventilation support (eg, nasal cannula, face mask, continuous positive airway pressure) 
and/or invasive mechanical ventilation support (eg, endotracheal-mechanical ventilation or 
mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy).

which will be performed if possible by the same parent/caregiver at each timepoint.
9.3.
Pharmacokinetics
Whole blood samples will be used to determine the concentrations of JNJ-63549109 and 
JNJ-64167896. Concentrations of JNJ-63549109 will be used to estimate the PK parameters of 
JNJ-63549109 using a popPK model. Samples collected for PK may additionally be used to 
evaluate safety or efficacy aspects that address concerns arising during or after the study period. 
Genetic analyses will not be performed on these samples. Subject confidentiality will be 
maintained.
9.3.1.
Evaluations
Whole blood samples for PK analysis will be collected at the scheduled timepoints specified in 
the Time and Events Schedules, via venipuncture, heel or finger prick, or a venous or arterial 
line. The exact time of sample collection will be noted on the source document and the data 
collection tool.
If blood samples are obtained at other times or by other methods as a part of routine clinical care, 
every effort should be made to “scavenge” leftover blood samples for PK analysis. The date and 
time of the scavenged blood specimen collection should be documented. All scavenged samples 
should be stored at -80ºC (preferred) or -20ºC as soon as possible.
Additional PK samples may also be collected on an ad hoc basis in the event that a safety event 
arises for which an understanding of drug exposure is clinically important, at the discretion of the 
investigator or at the request of the sponsor. Additional information about the collection, 
handling, and shipment of biologic samples can be found in the laboratory manual.

9.3.2.
Analytical Procedures
Whole blood samples will be analyzed to determine concentrations of JNJ-63549109 and 
JNJ-64167896
using a validated, specific, and sensitive liquid chromatography/mass 
spectrometry, method by or under the supervision of the sponsor.
To maintain the study blind during the study, results of the individual PK analyses will not be 
shared with the investigator or sponsor representatives directly involved in managing the study.
Results from all scavenged samples used for PK analysis will be reported and included in the PK 
calculations.
9.3.3.
Pharmacokinetic Parameters
Based on the individual concentration-time data, using the actual dose taken and the actual intake 
and sampling times, PK parameters and exposure information will be derived using popPK 
modeling. The estimated model parameters and individual post hoc exposure parameters (AUC, 
predicted concentration at 12 hours postdose [C12h], and Cmax) will be provided for each subject 
as appropriate. Baseline covariates (eg, body weight, age, sex, creatinine clearance, and race) 
may be included in the model, if relevant.
Exposure estimates (AUC, Cmax, and C12h) will be obtained by empirical Bayesian feedback 
using the popPK model for JNJ-63549109 to assess the appropriateness of the popPK model and 
the selected doses, throughout the conduct of the study. Concentration data versus time after dose 
of each individual will be plotted. A previously developed popPK model based on adult and 
pediatric data from several studies will be used to overlay with the raw data. If the data fall 
outside the prediction interval of the model, the model will be updated. Furthermore, potential 
covariates (not present in the previously developed model) will be investigated graphically and 
can be included into the popPK model based on a significant decrease in objective function using 
the likelihood ratio test for nested models.
9.4.
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Evaluations
The relationship between the PK of JNJ‑63549109 and PD (antiviral activity, clinical outcomes, 
and selected safety parameters) after single and repeated oral dosing of lumicitabine will be 
evaluated.
9.5.
Biomarkers
Leftover mid-turbinate nasal swabs and blood samples collected for PK testing may be used for
exploratory biomarker analyses (eg, proteins including cytokines), on the premise that these 
markers may play a role in the treatment response, safety of lumicitabine, or the status and 
change of the RSV-related disease. Analyses of biomarkers may be conducted at the sponsor’s 
discretion and reported separately from this study.
No human DNA analyses will take place on these samples.

Medical Resource Utilization and Health Economics
Medical resource utilization and health economics data, associated with medical encounters
related to RSV and/or respiratory reasons, will be collected in the eCRF by the investigator and 
study-site personnel for all subjects at the timepoints specified in the Time and Events 
Schedules.
Protocol-mandated procedures, tests, and encounters are excluded. The data collected may be 
used to conduct exploratory economic analyses and will include:

Number and duration of medical care encounters, including surgeries and other selected 
procedures (inpatient and outpatient).

Duration of hospitalization (total days length of stay, including duration by wards 
[eg, ICU]).

Outpatient medical encounters and treatments (including physician or ER visits, tests and 
procedures, and medications).

The number of subjects (proportion) who started antibiotic use after the first dose of the 
study drug up to the Day 28 follow-up visit.

Requirement for, and duration of, hospital readmission for respiratory reasons from
discharge up to the Day 28 follow-up visit.
9.7.
Safety Evaluations
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study from signing of the ICF onwards 
until the last study-related activity (end of study/early withdrawal).
An IDMC will be established to monitor the safety of subjects and will review data in an 
unblinded manner on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the subjects enrolled in 
this study. The IDMC will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor 
Committee, which will be responsible for identifying appropriate actions based on the 
recommendations of the IDMC. Details regarding the IDMC are provided in Section 11.10, 
Independent Data Monitoring Committee.
Any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study must be recorded on the AE section 
of the eCRF.
Any clinically significant abnormalities persisting at the end of the study/early withdrawal will 
be followed by the investigator until resolution or until a clinically stable endpoint is reached.
Safety assessments will be based on medical review of AE reports and the results of vital 
signs/SpO2 measurements, ECGs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and other 
safety evaluations at specified timepoints as described in the Time and Events Schedules. The 
results of unscheduled clinical/safety evaluations performed as part of routine clinical care while 
the subject is hospitalized will be collected in the eCRF for safety and/or clinical evaluation.

In the event that at least 2 invasive procedures such as a blood draw, mid-turbinate nasal swab, 
vital signs assessments, and/or ECG are required at the same time, the order of completion 
should be ECG first, then vital signs/SpO2, then mid-turbinate nasal swab, then blood draw, with 
the blood draw for PK being obtained as close to the scheduled time point as possible.
The study will include the following evaluations of safety and tolerability according to the 
timepoints provided in the Time and Events Schedules.
Adverse Events
Adverse events will be reported by the parent(s)/caregiver(s) or the subject’s legally acceptable 
representative for the duration of the study. Adverse events will be followed by the investigator 
as specified in Section 12, Adverse Event Reporting.
Clinical Laboratory Tests
Blood samples for serum chemistry and hematology will be collected and analyzed by a local 
laboratory. The investigator must review the laboratory results, document this review, and record 
any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE section of the eCRF. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents.
Blood samples may be obtained by venipuncture or by heel or finger prick. Alternatively, they 
may be obtained through a venous or arterial line. Blood samples obtained as a part of routine 
clinical care within the protocol visit window may be used to meet planned study evaluations. 
Additionally, any blood samples left over from sampling done for routine clinical care within the 
protocol visit window may be “scavenged” to be used in the study-specific safety evaluations.

obtain the results for a particular assessment due to local considerations, the sponsor’s study 
responsible physician or delegate may on a case by case basis permit individual sites to not 
collect that assessment.
Electrocardiogram
Electrocardiograms will be collected at the timepoints specified in the Time of Events Schedule 
and when clinically indicated by the investigator.
Electrocardiograms should be performed using procedures commensurate with the subject’s age.
A 12-lead ECG is strongly preferred but in cases where a 12-lead ECG is not possible or 
feasible, then a 6-lead ECG may be performed.
During the collection of ECGs, subjects should be calm, resting quietly, or sleeping if possible. If 
blood sampling or vital sign measurement is scheduled for the same timepoint as ECG recording, 
the procedures should be performed in the following order: ECG(s), vital signs/SpO2, 
mid-turbinate nasal swabs, and then blood draw.
Electrocardiograms may be repeated at the investigator’s discretion to account for erroneous 
readings.
Clinically relevant abnormalities (as defined in Attachment 2) occurring during the study should 
be recorded by the investigator in the AE section of the eCRF.
Vital Signs/SpO2
Body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, SBP, DBP, and SpO2 are to be collected at the 
timepoints specified in the Time and Events Schedules.
Blood pressure and heart rate measurements will be assessed using procedures commensurate 
with the subject’s age, preferably with a completely automated device. Manual techniques will 
be used only if an automated device is not available. Blood pressure and heart rate measurements 
should be preceded by at least 5 minutes of rest in a quiet setting without distractions and be 
taken while the subject is calm (resting or sleeping and not crying). They should not be 
performed immediately following the administration of beta-mimetics or any supportive drug, 
which could affect the measurement.
Clinically relevant abnormalities (as defined in Attachment 2) occurring during the study should 
be recorded by the investigator in the AE section of the eCRF.
Physical Examination
A complete physical examination (including all body systems) or a directed physical 
examination (including respiratory system, nose, ear, throat, facial and neck lymph nodes, and 
skin examination) will be performed at the timepoints specified in the Time and Events 
Schedules. Length, head circumference, and body weight will be measured at the timepoints 
specified in the Time and Events Schedules.

A skin examination includes an examination of the mucous membranes, but does not include a 
vaginal or rectal examination. However, if the subject develops a cutaneous reaction/rash, 
vaginal and rectal examinations may be done if clinically relevant.
The investigator must review the physical examination results, document this review, and record 
any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE section of the eCRF.
9.8.
Specific Toxicities
Subjects reporting skin changes or subjects with laboratory parameter changes should be 
followed until resolution of the toxicity and necessary standard management should be 
undertaken.
Skin Changes
In case there are skin changes, a correct diagnosis has to be made by the investigator or a 
dermatologist, preferably within 24 hours of detection. An assessment of severity grade should 
be made using the criteria specified in the draft Division of Microbiology and Infectious 
Diseases (DMID) pediatric toxicity tables (see Attachment 1).
Diaper dermatitis should be managed as per standard of care. Other rashes should be managed as 
indicated in Attachment 4.
Laboratory Parameter Changes
If one (or more) of the following changes occur, the subject should discontinue study drug and 
should be followed until resolution (return to baseline) or stabilization of change (to be agreed 
upon with the sponsor). The sponsor should be informed even if the change occurs outside of the 
treatment period (but before the end of the study). Refer to Section 10.2, Discontinuation of 
Study Treatment/Withdrawal from the Study.

Sample Collection and Handling
The actual dates and times of sample collection must be recorded in the eCRF.
For the PK samples, the time of the preceding meal, whether the suspension was completely 
ingested or any vomiting/regurgitation of the suspension occurred, will be collected in the eCRF.
Refer to the Time and Events Schedules for the timing and frequency of all sample collections.
Information regarding the collection of the mid-turbinate nasal swabs during hospitalization or at 
home should be entered in the eCRF or eCOA, respectively.
Instructions for the collection, handling, storage, and shipment of samples are found in the 
laboratory manual that will be provided. Collection, handling, storage, and shipment of samples 
must be under the specified, and where applicable, controlled temperature conditions as indicated 
in the laboratory manual.

SUBJECT COMPLETION/DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY TREATMENT/ 
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE STUDY
10.1.
Completion
A subject will be considered to have completed the treatment phase of the study if he or she has 
completed the treatment regimen and the Day 7 visit or the visit 1 day (+2 days) after the final 
dose of study drug if the study drug administration is increased to up to 10 days following IDMC 
review of the data. A subject will be considered to have completed the study if he or she has also 
completed assessments of the last follow-up visit.
10.2.
Discontinuation of Study Treatment/Withdrawal From the Study
Discontinuation of Study Treatment
A subject will not be automatically withdrawn from the study if he or she has to discontinue 
treatment before the end of the treatment regimen.
A subject’s study treatment must be discontinued if:

The subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) withdraws consent.

The investigator believes that for safety reasons or tolerability reasons (eg, AE) it is in the 
best interest of the subject to discontinue study treatment.

The subject experiences any of the laboratory abnormalities specified in Section 9.8, 
Specific Toxicities.
If a subject discontinues study treatment for any reason before the end of the treatment phase, the 
subjects’ parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be encouraged to continue with end-of-treatment and follow-
up assessments in accordance with the Time and Events Schedules.
Individual Subject Discontinuation Criteria
If one (or more) of the following changes occur, the subject should discontinue study drug and 
should be followed until resolution (return to baseline) or stabilization of change (to be agreed 
upon with the sponsor). The sponsor should be informed even if the change occurs outside of the 
treatment period (but before the end of the study).

A treatment-emergent AE which is considered clinically significant (eg, meeting Grade 3 
[severe] or 4 [potentially life threatening] criteria) and is attributed to study drug and/or 
which is thought to preclude further safe administration of study drug.

An AE/SAE, drug reaction, or complication, whether related or not to study drug, which 
precludes continuation of treatment with study drug.

Liver enzymes: ALT ≥3xULN AND bilirubin ≥2×ULN (direct >35%) OR ALT ≥5×ULN.

Noncompliance with study drug dosing.

Noncompliance with study procedures.

Lost to follow-up.


The principal investigator’s opinion that it is not in the subject’s best interest to continue 
study participation.

Sponsor’s decision to terminate the study.
Cohort Discontinuation Criteria (Option B)
Further enrollment within a cohort or enrollment to subsequent cohorts will be discontinued once 
it has been established that safety risk(s) such as the following occur:

If any unacceptable toxicity (as determined by the Sponsor Medical Monitor) occurs.

If the IDMC considers an event or multiple events to represent an unacceptable risk to the 
health and well-being of subjects at that or higher dose levels.
Withdrawal From the Study
Each parent/caregiver has the right to withdraw the subject at any time for whatever reason
without affecting the right to treatment by the investigator. The investigator should make an 
attempt to contact the parent(s)/caregiver(s) of subjects who did not return for scheduled visits or 
follow-up. Although the subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) are not obliged to give reason(s) for 
withdrawing early, the investigator should make a reasonable effort to ascertain the reason(s) 
while fully respecting the subject’s rights.
A subject will be withdrawn from the study for any of the following reasons:

Lost to follow-up.

Withdrawal of consent.

Death.

The subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) is poorly compliant with study procedures, study drug 
administration, visits, and assessments, after evaluation and discussion between the 
investigator and the sponsor.

Decision by the sponsor to stop or cancel the study.

Decision by the investigator to withdraw subjects.

Decision 
by 
local 
regulatory 
authorities 
and 
Independent 
Ethics 
Committee 
(IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) to stop or cancel the study.
If parent(s)/caregiver(s) withdraw the subject from the study before the end of the treatment 
phase, the subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be encouraged to continue with end-of-treatment 
and follow-up assessments in accordance with the Time and Events Schedules.
If a subject is lost to follow-up, every reasonable effort must be made by the 
investigator/study-site personnel to contact the parent(s)/caregiver(s) and determine the reason 
for discontinuation/withdrawal. The measures taken to follow up must be documented.

When a subject is withdrawn by his/her parent(s)/caregiver(s) before completing the study, the 
reason for withdrawal is to be documented in the eCRF and in the source document. Study drug 
assigned to the withdrawn subject may not be assigned to another subject. Subjects who have 
withdrawn before all RSV mid-turbinate nasal swabs (for RSV viral load) or PK samples have 
been taken may be replaced. If a subject withdraws from the study before the end of the
treatment phase, end-of-treatment and follow-up assessments should be obtained, unless the 
reason for withdrawal was withdrawal of consent.
10.3.
Withdrawal From the Use of Research Samples
A subject who withdraws from the study will have the following options regarding exploratory 
biomarker research samples:

The collected (scavenged) sample(s) will be retained and used in accordance with the 
subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s)’ original informed consent for exploratory biomarker 
research.

The parent(s)/caregiver(s) may withdraw consent for exploratory biomarker research, in 
which case the exploratory biomarker research samples will be destroyed and no further 
testing will take place. To initiate the sample destruction process, the investigator must 
notify the sponsor study-site contact of withdrawal of consent for the research samples and 
to request sample destruction. The sponsor study-site contact will, in turn, contact the 
biomarker representative to execute sample destruction. If requested, the investigator will 
receive written confirmation from the sponsor that the samples have been destroyed.
Withdrawal From the Use of Samples in Future Research
The parent(s)/caregiver(s) may withdraw consent for use of samples for research (refer to 
Section 16.2.5, Long-term Retention of Samples for Additional Future Research). In such a case, 
samples will be destroyed after they are no longer needed for the clinical study. Details of the 
sample retention for research are presented in the main ICF.

STATISTICAL METHODS
Statistical analysis will be done by the sponsor or under the authority of the sponsor. A general 
description of the statistical methods to be used to analyze the efficacy and safety data is outlined 
below. Specific details will be provided in the statistical analysis plan (SAP). The SAP for the 
IDMC will be separate from the SAP for the final analysis. In addition, a separate SAP for the 
interim analyses will be prepared.
All subjects who are randomized, have an RSV infection confirmed by central laboratory 
assessment, and receive at least 1 dose of study drug will constitute the intent-to-treat (ITT) 
infected population (ITT-i). Treatment assignment for this population will be defined by 
randomization assignment. The ITT-i population will be used for all efficacy/virologic analyses.
The per-protocol population will be defined as all subjects included in the ITT-i population 
without protocol deviations that affect efficacy assessment. The per-protocol population of ITT-i 
subjects with a postbaseline value will be established during the blinded data review and may be

used to perform sensitivity analysis on the primary endpoint. A blinded data review will be 
performed before each formal interim analysis.
All subjects enrolled into the study who receive at least 1 dose of study drug will be included in 
the safety population. Subjects in this population will be defined by the drug actually received, 
not by randomization assignment. Any subject who receives a single dose of lumicitabine will 
thus be included in the lumicitabine arm and all subjects that receive only placebo will be 
included in the placebo arm. The safety population will be used for all safety analyses.
11.1.
Subject Information
All demographic characteristics and other initial subject characteristics will be tabulated and 
analyzed descriptively. Treatment adherence to lumicitabine will be derived from the collected 
information.
11.2.
Sample Size Determination
The primary hypothesis is a positive dose-response relationship of active treatment on the 
average RSV viral load AUC over 7 days, meaning that either the average AUC on the pooled 
active treatments is lower than on placebo, or the average AUC on the high active dose is lower 
than the average AUC on placebo using multiple contrast testing. On high dose, the hypothesis 
of the lumicitabine antiviral activity assumes a viral load reduction on the AUC of the log viral 
load over 7 days of at least 30% when compared to placebo in subjects with onset of symptoms 
≤3 days and of at least 20% in subjects with onset of symptoms >3 days. The antiviral activity on 
low dose is assumed to be 80% when compared to the antiviral activity on the high dose. The 
positive dose-response relationship assumes that dose regimens with higher exposure with 
respect to MD will have at least an equal or better effect on viral load. Therefore 2 contrasts will 
be tested at each of the interim analysis points and final analysis; a contrast with no difference 
between the 2 active regimens tested against placebo (high equal to low, better than placebo) and 
a contrast with a positive ‘linear’ dose-response relationship (high better than low, low better 
than placebo) with respect to active regimens (where the effect of the low dose is exactly in 
between that of placebo and the high dose regimen). With respect to multiple contrast testing, 
multiplicity (2 contrasts) will be controlled at the prespecified (interim) alpha level by 
calculating adjusted p-values from the simulated distribution of the maximum or maximum 
absolute value of a multivariate t random vector (ie, using the correlation between the contrasts 
to optimally control for alpha).19 Based on the observed data of other in-house studies, the 
estimated SD is assumed to be approximately 34% of the AUC for subjects treated with placebo 
and the SD is equal in each of the treatment regimens. The overall (family wise) type 1 error rate
of 2.5% (1-sided) will be adjusted for multiple testing due to formal interim analyses using a 
Pocock alpha spending function with 3 sequential tests (2 interim, 1 final).15 Based on 
10,000 simulations and using a general linear model with treatment regimen as fixed factors, and 
under the assumption that 40% of the recruited subjects have onset of symptoms ≤3 days, a 
sample size of 180 subjects randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio will offer approximately 97% power to 
detect a positive dose-response relationship using multiple contrast testing. With the second 
interim analysis planned after at least 120 subjects, there will be at least 80% power to detect a 
positive dose-response relationship at the time of this analysis.

These sample size calculations were done under the assumption that option A is selected. Under 
option B, using similar assumptions, the total power is somewhat lowered but still sufficient for 
the total sample size of 180 subjects.
11.3.
Efficacy Analyses
Primary Endpoint
The primary endpoint in this study is RSV RNA log10 viral load (measured by qRT-PCR assay in 
the mid-turbinate nasal swab specimens) AUC immediately prior to first dose of study drug 
(baseline) over 7 days. Mean log10 viral load values over time will be analyzed using a restricted 
maximum likelihood-based repeated measures approach. Analyses will include the fixed, 
categorical effects of treatment, strata, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, as well as the 
continuous, fixed covariates of baseline log10 viral load and baseline log10 viral load by-visit 
interaction. An unstructured (co)variance structure will be used to model the within subject 
errors over time. The Kenward-Roger method will be used to approximate the degrees of 
freedom.16 The difference in the AUCs for active versus placebo will be derived using 
appropriate contrasts deriving least square mean differences, including the 95% 2-sided 
confidence intervals. For inferential purposes, p-values will be compared with significance levels 
controlling for the (family-wise) type 1 error rate. Details will be provided in the SAP that will 
be finalized before the first formal interim analysis.
Secondary Endpoints
For differences between treatment groups on qRT-PCR the same methods as for the primary 
endpoint will be used, using appropriate contrasts to estimate treatment differences between the 
various treatment groups by treatment day using nominal 95% confidence intervals. 
The time to virus not detected is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment until the 
time at which it is observed that the virus is undetectable in an assessment and after which time 
no virus positive assessment follows. Subjects will be (right-)censored at the last time 
observation of a detectable viral load. Actual sample time will be used. Data will be analyzed 
using Kaplan-Meier plots and using an accelerated failure time model to estimate difference 
between treatments, adjusting for strata and baseline viral load. Other baseline covariates may be 
added when statistically significant. In case the accelerated failure time model provides a poor 
model fit, appropriate sensitivity analyses will be performed as detailed in the SAP.
The time to clinical stability is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment until the 
time at which the following criteria are met: return to pre-RSV infection status (hereafter referred 
to as “normalization”) of blood oxygen level (ie, no additional requirement of supplemental 
oxygen compared with pre-RSV infection status), normalization of oral feeding, normalization of 
respiratory rate, and normalization of heart rate. Normalization criteria will be specified in the 
SAP. Subjects for which no timepoint could be established (eg, withdrawal of informed consent 
before reaching the endpoint or no clinical stability at last observation) will be (right-)censored at 
the latest timepoint at which it could be established that clinical stability was not reached. The 
differences in time to clinical stability of active dose regimens versus placebo treatment will be

absence/presence of other viral or bacterial infections, and baseline log10 viral load will be added. 
Treatment effect versus placebo will be reported, including 95% confidence intervals. In case the 
proportional hazards assumption is not satisfied, appropriate sensitivity analyses will be 
performed as detailed in the SAP.
Additionally, statistical modeling will be performed on the secondary endpoint of length of 
hospital stay, defined as the time from treatment initiation to hospital discharge in hours. 
Subjects for whom no timepoint could be established (eg, withdrawal of informed consent before 
reaching the endpoint) will be (right-)censored at the latest timepoint at which it could be
established that the endpoint was not reached. The differences in length of hospital stay of active 
dose regimens versus placebo treatment will be estimated using the accelerated failure time 
model using appropriate contrasts; as baseline covariates stratification factors, absence/presence 
of other viral or bacterial infections, and baseline log10 viral load will be added. Treatment effect 
versus placebo will be reported as acceleration factors including 95% confidence intervals. In 
case the model assumptions are not adequately met, appropriate sensitivity analyses will be 
performed as detailed in the SAP. For the secondary endpoint of length of hospital stay, defined 
as the time from study treatment initiation to readiness for discharge in hours, with readiness for 
discharge defined by the investigator, an analogous approach will be used. The length of hospital 
stay from admission to discharge and from admission to readiness for discharge (as defined by 
the investigator), measured in days, will be analyzed using an analogous approach. Analytical 
details will be provided in the SAP.
Analysis of the sequencing results of the L-gene or other genes (only if no mutations are seen in 
the L-gene) will be described in the SAP. Statistical analysis of the viral load, that may be 
generated with the plaque assay, will be described in the SAP.
Parent/Caregiver-reported Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes
Parent/caregiver-reported eCOA (PRESORS) will be descriptively summarized by treatment 
group and compared across treatment groups.
Clinician-reported Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes
Clinician-reported eCOA (PRESORS) will be descriptively summarized by treatment group and 
compared across treatment groups.

Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Population PK analysis of concentration-time data of JNJ-63549109 will be performed using 
nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Data may be combined with those of other selected studies to 
support a relevant structural model. Available baseline subject characteristics (eg, demographics, 
laboratory variables, and race) will be tested as potential covariates affecting PK parameters. 
Details will be given in a popPK analysis plan and the key findings of the popPK analysis will be 
presented in the final clinical study report. The popPK report will be provided separately.
A snapshot date for PK samples to be analyzed for the planned interim analysis will be defined. 
Samples collected before this date will be analyzed for JNJ-63549109 and JNJ-64167896 and

included in the popPK analysis (for JNJ-63549109 only). Samples collected after the snapshot 
date will be analyzed at a later date, and may be included in a popPK reanalysis when they 
become available after interim analysis database lock.
Subjects will be excluded from the PK analysis if their data do not allow for accurate assessment 
of the PK (eg, incomplete administration of the study drug; missing information of dose and 
sampling times; concentration data not sufficient for PK parameter calculation).
All concentrations below the lowest quantifiable concentration or missing data will be labeled as 
such in the concentration database. All subjects and samples excluded from the analysis will be 
clearly documented in the popPK report. The estimated model parameters and individual 
post hoc exposure parameters (AUC, Cmax, and C12h) will be provided for each subject as 
appropriate. Baseline covariates (eg, body weight, age, sex, creatinine clearance, and race) may 
be included in the model, if relevant.
For each treatment regimen, descriptive statistics, including arithmetic mean, SD, coefficient of 
variation, median, minimum, and maximum will be calculated for all individual derived PK 
parameters including exposure information of JNJ-63549109.
11.5.
Biomarker Analyses
Statistical approaches to explore correlations between clinical outcome and biomarkers vary and 
depend on the different data types of the applied technology platforms, as well as on the extent of 
observed differences among study subjects. Analyses may be conducted at the sponsor’s 
discretion and reported separately from this study.
11.6.
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analyses
Selected efficacy and safety parameters will be subject to PK/PD analysis. JNJ-63549109 
exposures will be evaluated as an independent variable, with selected efficacy and selected safety 
parameters considered as dependent variables. Various approaches, including graphical analysis, 
linear, nonlinear, and logistic regression methods may be utilized.
The key findings of the PK/PD analyses will be presented in the final clinical study report.
11.7.
Medical Resource Utilization and Health Economics Analyses
Medical resource utilization and health economics will be descriptively summarized by treatment 
regimen and compared across treatment regimens.
11.8.
Safety Analyses
Safety data will be presented descriptively. No statistical testing of safety data is planned. For 
safety, baseline is defined as the last assessment prior to the first intake of study drug.
Adverse Events
The verbatim terms used in the eCRF by investigators to identify AEs will be coded using the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Treatment-emergent AEs are AEs with onset 
during the treatment phase or that are a consequence of a preexisting condition that has worsened 
since baseline. All reported AEs will be included in the analysis. For each AE, the percentage of

subjects who experience at least 1 occurrence of the given event will be summarized by 
treatment regimen. In addition, comparisons between treatment regimens will be provided if 
appropriate.
Summaries, listings, datasets, or subject narratives may be provided, as appropriate, for those 
subjects who die, who discontinue treatment due to an AE, or who experience a severe or an 
SAE.
Clinical Laboratory Tests
Laboratory data will be summarized by type of laboratory test. Reference ranges and markedly 
abnormal results (specified in the SAP) will be used in the summary of laboratory data. 
Descriptive statistics will be calculated for each laboratory analyte at baseline and for observed 
values and changes from baseline at each scheduled timepoint. Changes from baseline results 
will be presented in pre- versus posttreatment cross-tabulations (with classes for below, within, 
and above normal ranges). Frequency tabulations of the abnormalities will be made. A listing of 
subjects with any laboratory results outside the reference ranges will be provided. A listing of 
subjects with any markedly abnormal laboratory results will also be provided.
The laboratory abnormalities will be determined according to the criteria specified in the draft 
DMID pediatric toxicity tables (see Attachment 1) and in accordance with the normal ranges of 
the clinical laboratory if no gradings are available.
Electrocardiogram
The effects on cardiovascular variables will be evaluated by means of descriptive statistics and 
frequency tabulations. These tables will include observed values and changes from baseline at 
each scheduled timepoint (the predose ECG will be used as baseline). Frequency tabulations of 
the abnormalities will be made.
The ECG variables that will be analyzed are heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, 
and QTcF.12,14,19 The percentage of subjects with abnormalities as defined in Attachment 2 will 
be tabulated.
Vital Signs/SpO2
Descriptive statistics of body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, SBP, DBP, SpO2, and 
changes from baseline will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint. For SpO2 an overview 
will be presented for the number of subjects (proportion) requiring supplemental oxygen. The 
percentage of subjects with values beyond clinically important limits, as judged by the 
investigator, will be summarized.
Physical Examination
Physical examination findings will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint. Descriptive 
statistics will be calculated at baseline and for observed values and changes from baseline at each 
scheduled timepoint. Frequency tabulations of the abnormalities will be made.

Interim Analysis
An Interim Analysis Committee will be responsible for performing the formal interim analysis 
and will consist of sponsor personnel who are not otherwise involved in the study. The IDMC 
will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor Committee, which will be 
responsible for identifying appropriate actions based on the recommendations of the IDMC.
Two types of interim analyses are distinguished: formal interim analysis and interim analyses 
performed by the IDMC only. The IDMC is described in Section 11.10, Independent Data 
Monitoring Committee, and Section 3.1, Overview of Study Design. At any formal interim 
analysis, the IDMC will also perform a data review.
The Interim Analysis Committee will be responsible for performing any formal interim analysis 
and will consist of sponsor personnel who are not otherwise involved in study activities. The first 
formal interim analysis will be performed when 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms 
have completed treatment or when 90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been 
enrolled and have completed treatment. The second interim analysis may be performed at the 
discretion of the sponsor when at least 120 subjects have completed treatment (or at least 
60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms), which may allow an analysis at the end of a season.
The following situations will be considered based on the results of any formal interim analysis: 
that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with >3 to 
≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be limited 
to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); that the treatment duration needs to be increased to up to 
10 days; or that the study should continue unchanged. In the case of the (unbinding) futility 
boundary or the superiority boundary being crossed, the IDMC may recommend early 
termination to the Sponsor Committee. If early superiority on the primary endpoint can be 
established, the study may be continued in order to accumulate data to allow the selection of the 
dose regimen or further substantiate the benefit-risk profile in this population; in this case the 
randomization ratio of active to placebo treatment may be altered for example, if dose selection 
is evident from the dose-response analysis, subjects randomized to active treatment may all 
receive the optimal dose. Alternative randomization ratios can be endorsed by the IDMC and
implemented by the Sponsor Committee for Option A are 1:2:0, 1:0:2, 1:2:2, and 2:1:3 for the 
placebo, low dose, and high dose, respectively. The IDMC may recommend that the 
randomization ratios for Option B be changed.
Results of the formal interim analyses can be used in interactions with Health Authorities.
11.10. Independent Data Monitoring Committee
An IDMC will be established to monitor data and will review data in an unblinded manner on a 
regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the subjects enrolled in this study. The IDMC 
will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor Committee, which will be 
responsible for identifying appropriate actions based on the recommendations of the IDMC. 
Details are provided in the IDMC Charter.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
The IDMC will consist of at least 1 medical expert in the relevant therapeutic area and at least 
1 statistician, 1 of whom will chair the committee. The IDMC responsibilities, authorities, and 
procedures will be documented in the IDMC Charter. Other members may be required dependent 
on the nature of the interim analysis. The intent is to have the same IDMC monitoring this study 
as for Study ALS-8176-503 given their familiarity with the compound. The IDMC will make 
dose recommendations at the beginning of the study, which will help determine which design 
option is chosen.
The IDMC will review the PK and safety data at the timepoints specified in Section 3.1, 
Overview of Study Design, and will continue to assess the PK, safety, and (selected) efficacy 
data during the conduct of the study. The frequency of IDMC reviews will be detailed in the 
IDMC Charter. At any formal interim analysis, the IDMC will also perform a data review.
Given the challenges of ensuring study-site preparation in time to recruit for an acute seasonal 
infection like RSV and the delays caused by implementing an amendment during an RSV 
season, the duration of dosing of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the IDMC 
based on the review of this study and data from other ongoing studies of lumicitabine. The 
duration of dosing if extended will not exceed 10 days and the doses will not exceed those 
resulting in an expected average JNJ-63549109 plasma AUC0-24h of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 
25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the lowest systemic NOAEL 
exposure observed in nonclinical toxicity studies. If the IDMC determines that subjects with a 
duration of RSV symptoms of 5 days prior to randomization may not achieve benefit based on 
interim results, they may recommend that the time of onset of RSV symptoms to the time of 
randomization is reduced. In addition, if the IDMC determines that subjects with a duration of 
RSV symptoms longer than 5 days prior to randomization may achieve benefit, this duration may 
be increased to up to 7 days (ie, 7 days from symptom onset to randomization). If such 
modifications, including changes to the randomization ratio, are recommended by the IDMC and 
endorsed by the Sponsor Committee, these changes will be communicated in writing to 
investigators, health authorities, and IEC/IRB and may be implemented without amendment to 
this protocol. Sponsor personnel involved in this process will not be involved in the conduct of 
the study. Details are provided in the IDMC Charter.

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
Timely, accurate, and complete reporting and analysis of safety information from clinical studies 
are crucial for the protection of subjects, investigators, and the sponsor, and are mandated by 
regulatory agencies worldwide. The sponsor has established Standard Operating Procedures in 
conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure appropriate reporting of safety 
information; all clinical studies conducted by the sponsor or its affiliates will be conducted in 
accordance with those procedures.
Method of Detecting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs or SAEs. Open-ended and 
nonleading verbal questioning of the subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) is the preferred method to 
inquire about AE occurrence.

Definitions
12.1.1.
Adverse Event Definitions and Classifications
Adverse Event
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject administered a medicinal 
(investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign 
(including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a
medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that 
medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. (Definition per International 
Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use 
[ICH]).
This includes any occurrence that is new in onset or aggravated in severity or frequency from the 
baseline condition, or abnormal results of diagnostic procedures, including laboratory test 
abnormalities.
Note: The sponsor collects AEs starting with the signing of the ICF (refer to Section 12.3.1, All 
Adverse Events, for time of last AE recording).
Serious Adverse Event
An SAE based on ICH and European Union Guidelines on Pharmacovigilance for Medicinal 
Products for Human Use is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

Results in death.

Is life-threatening (The subject was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer 
to an event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity.

Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.

Is medically important*.
*Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
also appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject 
or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. 
These should usually be considered serious.
If a serious and unexpected AE occurs for which there is evidence suggesting a causal 
relationship between the study drug and the event (eg, death from anaphylaxis), the event must

be reported as a serious and unexpected suspected adverse reaction even if it is a component of 
the study endpoint (eg, all-cause mortality).
Unlisted (Unexpected) Adverse Event/Reference Safety Information
An AE is considered unlisted if the nature or severity is not consistent with the applicable 
product reference safety information. For lumicitabine, the expectedness of an AE will be 
determined by whether or not it is listed in the IB.
Adverse Event Associated With the Use of the Drug
An AE is considered associated with the use of the drug if the attribution is possible, probable, or 
very likely by the definitions listed in Section 12.1.2, Attribution Definitions.
12.1.2.
Attribution Definitions
Not Related
An AE that is not related to the use of the drug.
Doubtful
An AE for which an alternative explanation is more likely, eg, concomitant drug(s), concomitant 
disease(s), or the relationship in time suggests that a causal relationship is unlikely.
Possible
An AE that might be due to the use of the drug. An alternative explanation, eg, concomitant 
drug(s), concomitant disease(s), is inconclusive. The relationship in time is reasonable; therefore, 
the causal relationship cannot be excluded.
Probable
An AE that might be due to the use of the drug. The relationship in time is suggestive 
(eg, confirmed by dechallenge). An alternative explanation is less likely, eg, concomitant 
drug(s), concomitant disease(s).
Very Likely
An AE that is listed as a possible adverse reaction and cannot be reasonably explained by an 
alternative explanation, eg, concomitant drug(s), concomitant disease(s). The relationship in time 
is very suggestive (eg, it is confirmed by dechallenge and rechallenge).

12.1.3.
Severity Criteria
An assessment of severity grade will be made using the DMID categorical descriptors; for 
abnormalities NOT found elsewhere in the toxicity tables (see Attachment 1) the scale below is 
to be used for the estimation of severity:
GRADE 1
Mild: 
Transient 
of 
mild 
discomfort 
(<48 hours); 
no 
medical 
intervention/therapy required.
GRADE 2
Moderate: Mild to moderate limitation in activity, some assistance may be 
needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required.
GRADE 3
Severe: Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; 
medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalizations possible.
GRADE 4
Life-threatening or death: Extreme limitation in activity, significant 
assistance required; significant medical intervention/therapy required, 
hospitalization (or hospice) care probable.
12.2.
Special Reporting Situations
Safety events of interest on a sponsor study drug that may require expedited reporting and/or 
safety evaluation include, but are not limited to:

Overdose of a sponsor study drug.

Suspected abuse/misuse of a sponsor study drug.

Accidental or occupational exposure to a sponsor study drug.

Medication error involving a sponsor product (with or without subject exposure to the 
sponsor study drug, eg, name confusion).

Exposure to a sponsor study drug from breastfeeding.
Special reporting situations should be recorded in the eCRF. Any special reporting situation that 
meets the criteria of an SAE should be recorded on the SAE page of the eCRF.
12.3.
Procedures
12.3.1.
All Adverse Events
All AEs and special reporting situations, whether serious or non-serious, will be reported from 
the time a signed and dated ICF is obtained until completion of the subject’s last study-related 
procedure, which may include contact for follow-up of safety. Serious adverse events, including
those spontaneously reported to the investigator within 30 days after the last dose of study drug, 
must be reported using the SAE form. The sponsor will evaluate any safety information that is 
spontaneously reported by an investigator beyond the time frame specified in the protocol.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
All events that meet the definition of an SAE will be reported as SAEs, regardless of whether 
they are protocol-specific assessments.
All AEs, regardless of seriousness, severity, or presumed relationship to study drug, must be 
recorded using medical terminology in the source document and the eCRF. Whenever possible, 
diagnoses should be given when signs and symptoms are due to a common etiology (eg, cough, 
runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and head congestion should be reported as “upper respiratory 
infection”). Investigators must record in the eCRF their opinion concerning the relationship of 
the AE to study therapy. All measures required for AE management must be recorded in the 
source document and reported according to sponsor instructions.
The sponsor assumes responsibility for appropriate reporting of AEs to the regulatory authorities. 
The sponsor will also report to the investigator (and the head of the investigational institute 
where required) all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). The investigator 
(or sponsor where required) must report SUSARs to the appropriate IEC/IRB that approved the 
protocol unless otherwise required and documented by the IEC/IRB. A SUSAR will be reported 
to regulatory authorities unblinded. Participating investigators and IEC/IRB will receive a 
blinded SUSAR summary, unless otherwise specified.
For all studies with an outpatient phase, the subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) must be provided 
with a “wallet (study) card” and instructed to carry this card with them for the duration of the 
study indicating the following:

Study number.

Statement, in the local language(s), that the subject is participating in a clinical study.

Investigator’s name and 24-hour contact telephone number.

Local sponsor’s name and 24-hour contact telephone number (for medical staff only).

Site number.

Subject number.

Any other information that is required to do an emergency breaking of the blind.
12.3.2.
Serious Adverse Events
All SAEs occurring during the study must be reported to the appropriate sponsor contact person 
by the investigator/study-site personnel within 24 hours of their knowledge of the event.
Information regarding SAEs will be transmitted to the sponsor using the SAE form, which must 
be completed and signed by a physician from the study site, and transmitted to the sponsor 
within 24 hours. The initial and follow-up reports of an SAE should be made by facsimile (fax).

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
All SAEs that have not resolved by the end of the study, or that have not resolved upon 
discontinuation of the subject’s participation in the study, must be followed until any of the 
following occurs:

The event resolves.

The event stabilizes.

The event returns to baseline, if a baseline value/status is available.

The event can be attributed to agents other than the study drug or to factors unrelated to 
study conduct.

It becomes unlikely that any additional information can be obtained (subject or health care 
practitioner refusal to provide additional information, lost to follow-up after demonstration 
of due diligence with follow-up efforts).
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by a medicinal product will be reported as an SAE. 
Any event requiring hospitalization (or prolongation of hospitalization) that occurs during the 
course of a subject’s participation in a study must be reported as an SAE, except hospitalizations 
for the following:

Hospitalizations not intended to treat an acute illness or AE (eg, social reasons such as 
pending placement in long-term care facility).

Surgery or procedure planned before entry into the study (must be documented in the 
eCRF). Note: Hospitalizations that were planned before the signing of the ICF, and where 
the underlying condition for which the hospitalization was planned has not worsened, will 
not be considered SAEs. Any AE that results in a prolongation of the originally planned 
hospitalization is to be reported as a new SAE.

For convenience the investigator may choose to hospitalize the subject for the duration of 
the treatment period.
If the subject is rehospitalized after discharge for the same RSV disease, this will constitute an 
SAE.
The cause of death of a subject in a study within 30 days of the last dose of study drug, whether 
or not the event is expected or associated with the study drug, is considered an SAE.

PRODUCT QUALITY COMPLAINT HANDLING
A product quality complaint (PQC) is defined as any suspicion of a product defect related to 
manufacturing, labeling, or packaging, ie, any dissatisfaction relative to the identity, quality, 
durability, or reliability of a product, including its labeling or package integrity. A PQC may 
have an impact on the safety and efficacy of the product. Timely, accurate, and complete 
reporting and analysis of PQC information from studies are crucial for the protection of subjects, 
investigators, and the sponsor, and are mandated by regulatory agencies worldwide. The sponsor 
has established procedures in conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure 
appropriate reporting of PQC information; all studies conducted by the sponsor or its affiliates 
will be conducted in accordance with those procedures.
13.1.
Procedures
All initial PQCs must be reported to the sponsor by the investigator/study-site personnel within 
24 hours after being made aware of the event.
If the defect is combined with an SAE, the investigator/study-site personnel must report the PQC 
to the sponsor according to the SAE reporting timelines (refer to Section 12.3.2, Serious Adverse 
Events). A sample of the suspected product should be maintained for further investigation if 
requested by the sponsor.

additional guidance on study drug preparation, handling, and storage.
14.5.
Drug Accountability
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all study drug received at the site is inventoried 
and accounted for throughout the study. The study drug administered to the subject while the 
subject is hospitalized must be documented on the drug accountability form. The dispensing of 
study drug to the subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s), and the return of study drug from the subject’s 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) (if applicable), must be documented on the drug accountability form. The 
subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) must be instructed to return all original containers, whether 
empty or containing study drug. All study drug will be stored and disposed of according to the 
sponsor’s instructions. The investigator/study-site personnel must not combine contents of the 
study drug containers.
Study drug must be handled in strict accordance with the protocol and the container label, and 
must be stored at the study site in a limited-access area or in a locked cabinet under appropriate 
environmental conditions. Unused study drug, and study drug returned by the subject’s 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) must be available for verification by the sponsor’s study-site monitor 
during on-site monitoring visits. The return to the sponsor of unused study drug or used returned 
study drug for destruction will be documented on the drug return form. When the study site is an 
authorized destruction unit and study drug supplies are destroyed on-site, this must also be 
documented on the drug return form.
Study drug should be dispensed under the supervision of the investigator or a qualified member 
of the study-site personnel, or by a hospital/clinic pharmacist. Study drug will be supplied only 
to subjects participating in the study. Returned study drug must not be dispensed again, even to 
the same subject. Study drug may not be relabeled or reassigned for use by other subjects. The 
investigator agrees neither to dispense the study drug from, nor store it at, any site other than the 
study sites agreed upon with the sponsor.

ETHICAL ASPECTS
16.1.
Study-specific Design Considerations
The potential subject’s legally acceptable representative will be fully informed of the risks and 
requirements of the study and, during the study, subjects’ parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be given any 
new information that may affect their decision to continue participation. They will be told that 
their consent to participate in the study is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time with no 
reason given and without penalty or loss of benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled. 
Only subjects whose parent(s)/caregiver(s) are fully able to understand the risks, benefits, and 
potential AEs of the study and provide their consent voluntarily will be enrolled.
When referring to the signing of the ICF, the terms legal guardian and legally acceptable 
representative refer to the legally appointed guardian of the child with authority to authorize 
participation in research. For each subject, his or her parent(s) (both parents, if available or if 
required according to local regulations) or a legally acceptable representative(s), as required by 
local regulations, must give written consent (permission) according to local requirements after 
the nature of the study has been fully explained and before the performance of any study-related 
assessments. For the purposes of this study, all references to subjects who have provided consent 
(and assent as applicable) refers to the subjects and his or her parent(s) or the subject’s legal 
guardian(s) or legally acceptable representative(s) who have provided consent according to this 
process.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
The total blood volume to be collected is considered to be in line with generally acceptable 
guidelines for the collection of blood samples for these age groups.13 For each PK sample, 
0.2 mL of blood for capillary sampling and 1.0 mL of blood for sampling via arterial line are 
required. The amount of blood for the safety samples will depend on local practice (eg, heel or 
finger prick versus venous sample); however, sites are encouraged to limit the volume as much 
as possible, while still performing the required safety testing.
Blood sampling has been minimized in this study to reduce the discomfort to the subjects. The 
maximum amount of blood drawn from each subject for study-specific purposes will not exceed 
3 mL/kg body weight over the duration of the study in line with recommendations collated by the 
World Health Organization13 or less if per local practice guidelines. Sampling of blood for PK is 
limited to a maximum of 3 samples at different timepoints which have been carefully selected to 
yield the maximum information with the least number of samples. Pharmacokinetic sampling can 
be performed by venipuncture or by heel or finger prick or alternatively through a venous/arterial 
line with collection of capillary blood as detailed in the laboratory manual.
Sampling for safety is also limited, with screening safety assessments in view of eligibility 
determination allowed to be performed using standard of care samples taken prior to study entry. 
Also safety assessments performed as part of standard of care, when within the protocol visit 
window, can be used as for the safety follow-up during the study. Both of these measures aim at 
minimizing the number of specific sampling timepoints as well as blood volume drawn. 
Furthermore, type of laboratory assessments for safety have been limited to the relevant ones in 
view of the (pre)clinical safety profile of lumicitabine, limiting the amount of blood needed and 
hence the duration of the sampling.
In addition, investigational staff should take the customary measures to ensure that study-specific
assessments such as blood sampling are performed with as little additional stress as possible for
the subject.
16.2.
Regulatory Ethics Compliance
16.2.1.
Investigator Responsibilities
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that the study is performed in accordance with the 
protocol, current ICH guidelines on Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable regulatory and 
country-specific requirements.
Good Clinical Practice is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, 
conducting, recording, and reporting studies that involve the participation of human subjects. 
Compliance with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and well-being of
study subjects are protected, consistent with the principles that originated in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, and that the study data are credible.

must be submitted promptly to the IEC/IRB for review and approval before implementation of 
the change(s).
At least once a year, the IEC/IRB will be asked to review and reapprove this study, where 
required.
At the end of the study, the investigator (or sponsor where required) will notify the IEC/IRB 
about the study completion (if applicable, the notification will be submitted through the head of 
investigational institution).
16.2.3.
Informed Consent Form
Each legally acceptable representative must give written consent according to local requirements 
after the nature of the study has been fully explained. The ICF must be signed before 
performance of any study-related activity. The ICF that is used must be approved by both the 
sponsor and the reviewing IEC/IRB and be in a language that the parent(s)/caregiver(s) can read 
and understand. The informed consent should be in accordance with principles that originated in 
the Declaration of Helsinki, current ICH and GCP guidelines, applicable regulatory 
requirements, and sponsor policy.
Before enrollment in the study, the investigator or an authorized member of the study-site 
personnel must explain to potential subjects or their legally acceptable representatives the aims, 
methods, reasonably anticipated benefits, potential hazards of the study, and any discomfort 
participation in the study may entail. Subject’s legally acceptable representatives will be 
informed that subject participation is voluntary and that they may withdraw consent to 
participate at any time. They will be informed that choosing not to participate will not affect the 
care the subject will receive for the treatment of his or her disease. Finally, they will be told that 
the investigator will maintain a subject identification register for the purposes of long-term 
follow-up if needed, and that their records may be accessed by health authorities and authorized 
sponsor personnel without violating the confidentiality of the subject, to the extent permitted by 
the applicable law(s) or regulations. By signing the ICF the subject’s legally acceptable 
representative is authorizing such access, which includes permission to obtain information about 
the subject’s survival status. It also denotes that the subject’s legally acceptable representative 
agrees to allow his or her study physician to re-contact the subject for the purpose of obtaining 
consent for additional safety evaluations, and subsequent disease-related treatments, if needed.
The subject’s legally acceptable representative will be given sufficient time to read the ICF and 
the opportunity to ask questions. After this explanation and before entry into the study, consent

should be appropriately recorded by means of the subject’s legally acceptable representative’s 
personally dated signature. After having obtained the consent, a copy of the ICF must be given to 
the subject’s legally acceptable representative.
If the subject’s legally acceptable representative is unable to read or write, an impartial witness 
should be present for the entire informed consent process (which includes reading and explaining 
all written information) and should personally date and sign the ICF after the oral consent of the 
subject’s legally acceptable representative is obtained.
When prior consent of the subject’s legally acceptable representative is not possible, enrollment 
procedures should be described in the protocol with documented approval/favorable opinion by 
the IEC/IRB to protect the rights, safety, and well-being of the subject and to ensure compliance 
with applicable regulatory requirements. The subject’s legally acceptable representative must be 
informed about the study as soon as possible and give consent to continue.
16.2.4.
Privacy of Personal Data
The collection and processing of personal data from subjects enrolled in this study will be 
limited to those data that are necessary to fulfill the objectives of the study.
These data must be collected and processed with adequate precautions to ensure confidentiality 
and compliance with applicable data privacy protection laws and regulations. Appropriate 
technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorized 
disclosures or access, accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss or alteration must be 
put in place. Sponsor personnel whose responsibilities require access to personal data agree to 
keep the identity of subjects confidential.
The informed consent obtained from the subject’s legally acceptable representative includes 
explicit consent for the processing of personal data and for the investigator/institution to allow 
direct access to his or her original medical records (source data/documents) for study-related 
monitoring, audit, IEC/IRB review, and regulatory inspection. This consent also addresses the 
transfer of the data to other entities and to other countries.
The subject’s legally acceptable representative has the right to request through the investigator 
access to his or her personal data and the right to request rectification of any data that are not 
correct or complete. Reasonable steps will be taken to respond to such a request, taking into 
consideration the nature of the request, the conditions of the study, and the applicable laws and 
regulations.
Exploratory biomarker and PK research is not conducted under standards appropriate for the 
return of data to subjects. In addition, the sponsor cannot make decisions as to the significance of 
any findings resulting from exploratory research. Therefore, exploratory research data will not be 
returned to subjects or investigators, unless required by law or local regulations. Privacy and 
confidentiality of data generated in the future on stored samples will be protected by the same 
standards applicable to all other clinical data.

Long-term Retention of Samples for Additional Future Research
Samples collected in this study may be stored for up to 15 years (or according to local 
regulations) for additional research. Samples will only be used to understand lumicitabine, to 
understand RSV, to understand differential drug responders, and to develop tests/assays related 
to lumicitabine or other RSV compounds and RSV disease. The research may begin at any time 
during the study or the poststudy storage period and might be conducted by the sponsor or with 
sponsor's collaborators and/or vendors.
Stored samples will be coded throughout the sample storage and analysis process and will not be 
labeled with personal identifiers. Subjects may withdraw their consent for their samples to be 
stored for research (refer to Section 10.3, Withdrawal From the Use of Samples in Future 
Research.
16.2.6.
Country Selection
This study will only be conducted in those countries where the intent is to launch or otherwise 
help ensure access to the developed product if the need for the product persists, unless explicitly 
addressed as a specific ethical consideration in Section 16.1, Study-specific Design 
Considerations.
17.
ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
17.1.
Protocol Amendments
Neither the investigator nor the sponsor will modify this protocol without a formal amendment 
by the sponsor. All protocol amendments must be issued by the sponsor, and signed and dated by 
the investigator. Protocol amendments must not be implemented without prior IEC/IRB 
approval, or when the relevant competent authority has raised any grounds for non-acceptance, 
except when necessary to eliminate immediate hazards to the subjects, in which case the 
amendment must be promptly submitted to the IEC/IRB and relevant competent authority. 
Documentation of amendment approval by the investigator and IEC/IRB must be provided to the 
sponsor. When the change(s) involves only logistic or administrative aspects of the study, the 
IEC/IRB (where required) only needs to be notified.
The doses or treatment regimen of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the 
IDMC at any time for PK, efficacy, or safety reasons based on the review of this and other 
ongoing studies of lumicitabine. If such modifications are recommended based on IDMC review, 
these changes will be communicated in writing to investigators, health authorities, and ethics 
committees and may be implemented without amendment to this protocol.
During the course of the study, in situations where a departure from the protocol is unavoidable, 
the investigator or other physician in attendance will contact the appropriate sponsor 
representative listed in the Contact Information page(s), which will be provided as a separate 
document. Except in emergency situations, this contact should be made before implementing any 
departure from the protocol. In all cases, contact with the sponsor must be made as soon as 
possible to discuss the situation and agree on an appropriate course of action. The data recorded

Subject Identification, Enrollment, and Screening Logs
The investigator agrees to complete a subject identification and enrollment log to permit easy 
identification of each subject during and after the study. This document will be reviewed by the 
sponsor study-site contact for completeness.
The subject identification and enrollment log will be treated as confidential and will be filed by 
the investigator in the study file. To ensure subject confidentiality, no copy will be made. All 
reports and communications relating to the study will identify subjects by subject identification 
and date of birth. In cases where the subject is not randomized into the study, the date seen and 
date of birth will be used.
The investigator must also complete a subject screening log, which reports on all subjects who 
were seen to determine eligibility for inclusion in the study.
17.4.
Source Documentation
At a minimum, source documents consistent in the type and level of detail with that commonly 
recorded at the study site as a basis for standard medical care must be available for the following: 
subject identification, eligibility, and study identification; study discussion and date of signed 
informed consent; dates of visits; results of safety and efficacy parameters as required by the 
protocol; record of all AEs and follow-up of AEs; concomitant medication(s); drug 
receipt/dispensing/return records; study drug administration information; and date of study 
completion and reason for early discontinuation of study drug or withdrawal from the study, if 
applicable.
Additionally, investigator-completed scales and assessments and parent(s)/caregiver(s)-reported 
outcomes (data for the clinician or parent[s]/caregiver[s] eCOA) will be captured directly in the 
electronic device, which will serve as source documentation.
The author of an entry in the source documents should be identifiable.
Specific details required as source data for the study and source data collection methods will be 
reviewed with the investigator before the start of the study and will be described in the 
monitoring guidelines (or other equivalent document).
The following data will be recorded directly into the eCRF and will be considered source data:

Race.

Blood pressure and heart rate.

Height and weight.

Details of physical examination.

The minimum source documentation requirements for Section 4.1, Inclusion Criteria, and 
Section 4.2, Exclusion Criteria, that specify a need for documented medical history are as 
follows:

Discharge summaries.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria not requiring documented medical history must be verified at a 
minimum by subject interview or other protocol-required assessment (eg, physical examination, 
laboratory assessment) and documented in the source documents.
An electronic source system may be utilized, which contains data traditionally maintained in a 
hospital or clinic record to document medical care (eg, electronic source documents) as well as 
the clinical study-specific data fields as determined by the protocol. These data are electronically 
extracted for use by the sponsor. If the electronic source system is utilized, references made to 
the eCRF in the protocol include the electronic source system but information collected through 
the electronic source system may not be limited to that found in the eCRF. Data in this system 
may be considered source documentation.
17.5.
Case Report Form Completion
Case report forms are prepared and provided by the sponsor for each subject in electronic format. 
All eCRF entries, corrections, and alterations must be made by the investigator or authorized 
study-site personnel. The investigator must verify that all data entries in the eCRF are accurate 
and correct.
The study data will be transcribed by the investigator/study-site personnel from the source 
documents into the eCRF, if applicable. Study-specific data will be transmitted in a secure 
manner to the sponsor.
Worksheets may be used for the capture of some data to facilitate completion of the eCRF. Any 
such worksheets will become part of the subject’s source documents. Data must be entered into 
eCRF in English. The eCRF must be completed as soon as possible after a subject visit and the 
forms should be available for review at the next scheduled monitoring visit.
All subjective measurements (eg, pain scale information or other questionnaires) will be
completed by the same individual who made the initial baseline determinations whenever 
possible.
If necessary, queries will be generated in the electronic data capture (eDC) tool. If corrections to 
an eCRF are needed after the initial entry into the eCRF, this can be done in either of the 
following ways:

Investigator and study-site personnel can make corrections in the eDC tool at their own 
initiative or as a response to an auto query (generated by the eDC tool).

Sponsor or sponsor delegate can generate a query for resolution by the investigator and 
study-site personnel.

Clinical Outcome Assessments
Clinical Outcome Assessments (see Attachment 5) will be completed by the clinician and 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) on an electronic device provided at the study site. Responses provided will 
be recorded directly in the electronic database. Each day from screening through end of 
follow-up, the investigator/study-site personnel will monitor whether the subject’s eCOA data 
were uploaded by the parent(s)/caregiver(s) to the eCOA website provided for this study. If more 
than 36 hours have elapsed since the last eCOA assessment was recorded on the eCOA website, 
the investigator/study-site personnel will contact the subject's parent(s)/caregiver(s) to ensure 
that the eCOA questionnaire is completed and transmitted to the server every day, to identify 
problems collecting or transmitting the assessments, and to instruct the parent/caregiver entering 
the subject’s responses on the eCOA device on the way to correct any problems with collecting 
or transmitting the eCOA data. Telephone calls to the subject's parent(s)/caregiver(s) to facilitate 
compliance with the study procedures between outpatient study visits are encouraged.
Study monitors should monitor completion of the eCOAs and follow-up with sites immediately 
should there be any indication that any eCOAs are not being completed or if data transfer is not 
being done as scheduled.
The eCOA device includes built-in training for study-site personnel, investigators, and 
parent(s)/caregiver(s).
17.6.1.
Investigator
The investigator will provide information about the subject’s status, symptoms, and behavior on 
an electronic device at timepoints noted in the Time and Events Schedules. Before completing 
the first assessment of any subject in the study, the investigator must complete the assigned 
eCOA training. Practical training on the electronic device will be available on demand.
17.6.2.
Parent(s)/Caregiver(s)
The subject’s parent(s)/caregiver(s) with routine and frequent experience caring for the subject 
will provide information about the subject’s status, symptoms, and behaviors on an electronic 
device at timepoints noted in the Time and Events Schedules. In addition, after hospital 
discharge, the parent(s)/caregiver(s) will record study drug and concomitant medications 
administered on the electronic device in a medication log. All parent(s)/caregiver(s) assessments 
and logs will be provided in the native language of the parent(s)/caregiver(s). The electronic 
device will include instructions and training that will be completed upon first use by the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) and will be available on demand thereafter if the parent(s)/caregiver(s) 
chooses this option. If the parent/caregiver is unable to complete the assessment on the device 
without assistance, the investigator/study-site personnel can read the questions and responses 
aloud to the parent/caregiver and enter the parent/caregiver’s responses in the eCOA device on 
their behalf during hospitalization. Once a subject is discharged from the hospital, sites will 
follow procedures detailed in the eCOA manual for administration of the parent/caregiver eCOA 
by telephone interview post discharge. The investigator/study-site personnel will instruct the 
parent/caregiver to complete the eCOA questionnaire and transmit the eCOA data at 
approximately the same time each day from screening through end of follow-up.

Data Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Steps to be taken to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data include the selection of qualified 
investigators and appropriate study sites, review of protocol procedures with the investigator and 
study-site personnel before the study, and periodic monitoring visits by the sponsor and direct 
transmission of clinical laboratory data from a central laboratory into the sponsor’s data base. 
Written instructions will be provided for collection, handling, storage, and shipment of samples.
Guidelines for eCRF completion will be provided and reviewed with the investigator/study-site 
personnel before the start of the study. The sponsor will review eCRFs for accuracy and 
completeness during on-site monitoring visits and after transmission to the sponsor; any 
discrepancies will be resolved with the investigator or designee, as appropriate. After upload of 
the data into the study database, the data will be verified for accuracy and consistency with the 
data sources.
17.8.
Record Retention
In compliance with the ICH/GCP guidelines, the investigator/institution will maintain all eCRF 
and all source documents that support the data collected from each subject, as well as all study 
documents as specified in ICH/GCP Section 8, Essential Documents for the Conduct of a 
Clinical Trial, and all study documents as specified by the applicable regulatory requirement(s). 
The investigator/institution will take measures to prevent accidental or premature destruction of 
these documents.
Essential documents must be retained until at least 2 years after the last approval of a marketing 
application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing 
applications in an ICH region or until at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal 
discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational product. These documents will be 
retained for a longer period if required by the applicable regulatory requirements or by an 
agreement with the sponsor. It is the responsibility of the sponsor to inform the 
investigator/institution as to when these documents no longer need to be retained.
If the responsible investigator retires, relocates, or for other reasons withdraws from the 
responsibility of keeping the study records, custody must be transferred to a person who will 
accept the responsibility. The sponsor must be notified in writing of the name and address of the 
new custodian. Under no circumstance shall the investigator relocate or dispose of any study 
documents before having obtained written approval from the sponsor.
If it becomes necessary for the sponsor or the appropriate regulatory authority to review any 
documentation relating to this study, the investigator/institution must permit access to such 
reports.
17.9.
Monitoring
The sponsor will use a combination of monitoring techniques (central, remote, or on-site 
monitoring) to monitor this study.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
The sponsor will perform on-site monitoring visits as frequently as necessary. The monitor will 
record dates of the visits in a study-site visit log that will be kept at the study site. The first 
post-initiation visit will be made as soon as possible after enrollment has begun. At these visits, 
the monitor will compare data entered into the eCRF with the source documents (eg, 
hospital/clinic/physician’s office medical records); a sample may be reviewed. The nature and 
location of all source documents will be identified to ensure that all sources of original data 
required to complete the eCRF are known to the sponsor and the investigator/study-site 
personnel and are accessible for verification by the sponsor study-site contact. If electronic 
records are maintained at the study site, the method of verification must be discussed with the 
investigator/study-site personnel.
Direct access to source documents (medical records) must be allowed for the purpose of 
verifying that the recorded data are consistent with the original source data. Findings from this 
review will be discussed with the investigator/study-site personnel. The sponsor expects that, 
during monitoring visits, the relevant investigator/study-site personnel will be available, the 
source documents will be accessible, and a suitable environment will be provided for review of 
study-related documents. The monitor will meet with the investigator on a regular basis during 
the study to provide feedback on the study conduct.
In addition to on-site monitoring visits, remote contacts can occur. It is expected that during 
these remote contacts, the investigator/study-site personnel will be available to provide an update 
on the progress of the study at the site.
Central monitoring will take place for data identified by the sponsor as requiring central review.
17.10. Study Completion/Termination
17.10.1.
Study Completion/End of Study
The study is considered completed with the last visit for the last subject participating in the 
study. The final data from the study site will be sent to the sponsor (or designee) after completion 
of the final subject visit at that study site, in the time frame specified in the Clinical Trial 
Agreement.
17.10.2.
Study Termination
The sponsor reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any time for any 
reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study completion. 
A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies have been 
collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed.
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.

Approved, Date: 21 August 2017
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include but are 
not limited to:

Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the IEC/IRB or 
local health authorities, the sponsor’s procedures, or GCP guidelines.

Inadequate recruitment of subjects by the investigator.

Discontinuation of further study drug development.
17.11. On-site Audits
Representatives of the sponsor’s clinical quality assurance department may visit the study site at 
any time during or after completion of the study to conduct an audit of the study in compliance 
with regulatory guidelines and company policy. These audits will require access to all study 
records, including source documents, for inspection. Subject privacy must, however, be 
respected. The investigator and study-site personnel are responsible for being present and 
available for consultation during routinely scheduled study-site audit visits conducted by the 
sponsor or its designees.
Similar auditing procedures may also be conducted by agents of any regulatory body, either as 
part of a national GCP compliance program or to review the results of this study in support of a 
regulatory submission. The investigator should immediately notify the sponsor if he or she has 
been contacted by a regulatory agency concerning an upcoming inspection.
17.12. Use of Information and Publication
All information including but not limited to information regarding lumicitabine or the sponsor’s 
operations (eg, patent application, formulas, manufacturing processes, basic scientific data, prior 
clinical data, formulation information) supplied by the sponsor to the investigator and not 
previously published, and any data, including exploratory biomarker research data, generated as 
a result of this study, are considered confidential and remain the sole property of the sponsor. 
The investigator agrees to maintain this information in confidence and use this information only 
to accomplish this study, and will not use it for other purposes without the sponsor’s prior 
written consent.
The investigator understands that the information developed in the study will be used by the 
sponsor in connection with the continued development of lumicitabine, and thus may be 
disclosed as required to other clinical investigators or regulatory agencies. To permit the 
information derived from the clinical studies to be used, the investigator is obligated to provide 
the sponsor with all data obtained in the study.
The results of the study will be reported in a clinical study report generated by the sponsor and 
will contain data from all study sites that participated in the study as per-protocol. Recruitment 
performance or specific expertise related to the nature and the key assessment parameters of the 
study will be used to determine a coordinating investigator. Results of exploratory biomarker 
analyses performed after the clinical study report has been issued will be reported in a separate 
report and will not require a revision of the clinical study report. Study subject identifiers will

not be used in publication of results. Any work created in connection with performance of the 
study and contained in the data that can benefit from copyright protection (except any 
publication by the investigator as provided for below) shall be the property of the sponsor as 
author and owner of copyright in such work.
Consistent with Good Publication Practices and International Committee of Medical Journal 
Editors guidelines, the sponsor shall have the right to publish such primary (multicenter) data 
and information without approval from the investigator. The investigator has the right to publish 
study site-specific data after the primary data are published. If an investigator wishes to publish 
information from the study, a copy of the manuscript must be provided to the sponsor for review 
at least 60 days before submission for publication or presentation. Expedited reviews will be 
arranged for abstracts, poster presentations, or other materials. If requested by the sponsor in 
writing, the investigator will withhold such publication for up to an additional 60 days to allow 
for filing of a patent application. In the event that issues arise regarding scientific integrity or 
regulatory compliance, the sponsor will review these issues with the investigator. The sponsor 
will not mandate modifications to scientific content and does not have the right to suppress 
information. For multicenter study designs and substudy approaches, secondary results generally 
should not be published before the primary endpoints of a study have been published. Similarly, 
investigators will recognize the integrity of a multicenter study by not submitting for publication 
data derived from the individual study site until the combined results from the completed study 
have been submitted for publication, within 12 months of the availability of the final data (tables, 
listings, graphs), or the sponsor confirms there will be no multicenter study publication. 
Authorship of publications resulting from this study will be based on the guidelines on 
authorship, such as those described in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to 
Biomedical Journals, which state that the named authors must have made a significant 
contribution to the design of the study or analysis and interpretation of the data, provided critical 
review of the paper, and given final approval of the final version.
Registration of Clinical Studies and Disclosure of Results
The sponsor will register and disclose the existence of and the results of clinical studies as 
required by law.

ESTIMATING SEVERITY GRADE
For abnormalities NOT found elsewhere in the Toxicity Tables use the scale below to estimate 
grade of severity:
GRADE 1
Mild: Transient or mild discomfort (<48 hours); no medical 
intervention/therapy required 
GRADE 2
Moderate: Mild to moderate limitation in activity - some assistance may be 
needed; no or minimal medical intervention/therapy required 
GRADE 3
Severe: Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually required; 
medical intervention/therapy required, hospitalizations possible 
GRADE 4
Life-threatening or death*: Extreme limitation in activity, significant 
assistance required; significant medical intervention/therapy required, 
hospitalization or hospice care probable
* The draft DMID pediatric toxicity tables characterize death as a Grade 5 event, for the 
purposes of this study the sponsor will categorize events into 4 grades and has included 
death with life-threatening in the Grade 4 category.
SERIOUS OR LIFE-THREATENING ADVERSE EVENTS
ANY clinical event deemed by the clinician to be serious or life-threatening should be 
considered a grade 4 event. Clinical events considered to be serious or life-threatening include, 
but are not limited to: seizures, coma, tetany, diabetic ketoacidosis, disseminated intravascular 
coagulation, diffuse petechiae, paralysis, acute psychosis, severe depression.

Guideline for the Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate 
(GFR) Based on Serum Creatinine in Children

The production of creatinine is proportional to muscle mass, which is in turn related to 
body mass and height (for normally proportioned individuals). Therefore in a steady-state 
situation the GFR can be estimated from the plasma creatinine according to Schwartz 
formula (for serum creatinine measured by Jaffe methodology):
0.55 x length (cm)
Children 1-12 years1:
eGFR = _________________________
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)

The Schwartz formula is modified for different age groups and sexes:
0.45 x length (cm)
Infants less than 1 year of age2 (except neonates): eGFR = _________________________
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)

The Schwartz formula has been updated for enzymatic serum creatinine determinations 
referenced to isotope dilution mass spectroscopy standards3:
0.41 x length (cm)
eGFR = _________________________
Serum creatinine (mg/dL)
OR: eGFR = 40.7 x (height(m)/Scr (mg/dL))0.640 x (30/BUN (mg/dL))0.202

Attachment 6:
General Guidelines for Measuring Vital Signs and SpO2
General Principles
It is anticipated that variability in the measurement of vital signs and SpO2 is to be expected due 
to a number of reasons; therefore, general guidelines for measuring vital signs and SpO2 have 
been developed to have a more consistent approach across sites and countries related to the 
methodology for measuring these clinical parameters. 
General methodology for obtaining and measuring vital signs and SpO2
Parameter
General Instructions
Blood Pressure

The subject should be allowed to play with the device or feel the cuff inflate to gain his or 
her cooperation

The cuff size should have a bladder width that is approximately 40% of the circumference 
of the upper arm, measured midway between the olecranon and the acromion. The length 
of the cuff bladder should encircle 80 to 100% of the circumference of the upper arm 
midway between the olecranon and the acromion. The bladder width-to-length should be 
at least 1:2.

The blood pressure should be measured after 5 minutes of rest in a quiet environment. 
The child should be seated with his/her back and feet in a supported position. In infants, 
the blood pressure is measured in a supine position. Measurements made in 
noncooperative, agitated children are often misleading.

Blood pressure measurements should preferentially be assessed with a completely 
automated device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is not 
available. 

If an automated device is not available, a properly maintained mercury 
sphygmomanometer is preferred over aneroid and hybrid sphygmomanometers. When 
using a mercury sphygmomanometer, the mercury column should be deflated at 2 to 
3 mm/heart beat, and the first and last audible sounds should be taken as systolic and 
diastolic pressure. The column should be read to the nearest 2 mm Hg.

When the blood pressure is measured by auscultation, the stethoscope needs to be placed 
over the brachial artery pulse in the cubital fossa. The blood pressure should be taken with 
the subject's right arm supported at the level of the heart. The right arm is preferred in 
repeated measures of blood pressure for consistency. Clothing that covers the arm should 
be removed prior to the placement of the cuff.
Heart Rate

While subject is hospitalized, if possible, use the same heart rate measurement 
methodology for all subjects enrolled at the site.

The heart rate should be measured after 5 minutes of rest in a quiet environment. The 
child should be seated with his/her back and feet in a supported position. Measurements 
made in noncooperative, agitated children are often misleading.

Subject can be in either a sitting or supine position.

Heart rate measurements should preferentially be assessed with a completely automated 
device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is not available.

If manual measurement, auscultation of the heart or pulse (radial, brachial) determination 
are considered acceptable.

If manual measurement, 30 seconds (minimum) or 1 minute (preferred) count are 
considered acceptable.

General Instructions
Respiratory Rate

While subject is hospitalized, if possible, use the same respiratory rate measurement 
methodology for all subjects enrolled at the site.

The respiratory rate should be measured after 5 minutes of rest in a quiet environment.

Subject can be in either a sitting or supine position.

Respiratory rate measurements can be assessed with an automated device or with manual 
measurement (no preference).

If manual measurement is used, inspection (preferred) or lung auscultation (alternative) 
are considered acceptable.

If manual measurement, 30 seconds (minimum) or 1 minute (preferred) count are 
considered acceptable.
Temperature

While subject is hospitalized, if possible, use the same type of temperature measurement 
methodology for all subjects enrolled at the site.

Electronic devices (tympanic, oral) are preferred over traditional mercury thermometers 
(for oral temperature)

Tympanic (preferred) or oral (alternative) temperature measurements are considered 
acceptable. Axillary temperature should be avoided since it provides the worst estimate of 
core temperature and it is largely influenced by environmental conditions.

Rectal temperature recordings in infants and young children are also an option. Rectal 
temperature measurements should be taken with the subject in the prone position with the 
legs slightly flexed at the hips and knees; the thermometer is directed anteriorly at an 
angle of approximately 20° to the surface of the examination table.
SpO2

While subject is hospitalized, if possible, use the same type of probe for all subjects 
enrolled at the site.

The SpO2 should be measured after 5 minutes of rest in a quiet environment.

Subject can be in either a sitting or supine position.

Pulse oximetry measurements using finger, toe, earlobe or frontal sensors are considered 
acceptable. If using the digits, assess for warmth and capillary refill, since adequate 
arterial pulse strength is necessary for obtaining accurate SpO2 measurements.

Avoid placing the sensor on sites distal to indwelling arterial catheters, blood pressure 
cuffs, or venous engorgement (eg, arteriovenous fistulas, blood transfusions).

1.2.
Trial Design
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of lumicitabine in 
hospitalized infants and children who are infected with RSV.
During the writing of this SAP Option A in the protocol was selected as the design of this study. 
Therefore option B is not discussed in the SAP.
1.2.1.
Option A
Hospitalized infants and children who are infected with RSV will be randomly assigned to a 
treatment regimen in this study, with 60 subjects planned per regimen. At least 120 subjects are 
planned to be enrolled up to a maximum of 180 subjects. An effort will be made to enroll at least 
90 subjects aged between 28 days and 24 months and at least 12 subjects aged between 24 and 
36 months. The number of subjects with comorbidities will be limited to 20%; additional 
comorbid subjects aged between 24 and 36 months may be allowed to enroll if the 20% threshold 
is reached before 12 subjects aged between 24 and 36 months are enrolled into the study.
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Regimen A, B, or C:


Regimen A (low-dose lumicitabine): a single 40 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily.

Regimen B (high-dose lumicitabine): a single 60 mg/kg LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 
40 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 to 10) of lumicitabine, administered twice daily. 

Regimen C (placebo): those randomized to a placebo regimen are subsequently randomized 
in a 1:1 ratio (to match volumes) to either:
o
A single 40 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 20 mg/kg MDs (Doses 2 
to 10), administered twice daily.
o
A single 60 mg/kg placebo LD (Dose 1) followed by nine 40 mg/kg placebo MDs 
(Doses 2 to 10), administered twice daily.
An IDMC (refer to Section 3.2, Independent Data Monitoring Committee, for details) will 
review the safety and PK data once the first 12 subjects and 30 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) to assess if enrollment of additional subjects may safely continue in each 
arm. After at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD 
lumicitabine regimen, the IDMC may recommend that sparse PK sampling be used for the other 
subjects. Subject recruitment and enrollment may continue while the data are being reviewed.
Subjects who are admitted to hospital due to RSV infection, including those who are otherwise 
healthy and those with underlying comorbidities (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age 
was <37 weeks; for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 
congenital heart disease, other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, 
or cystic fibrosis) can participate. However, enrollment of subjects with comorbidities can only 
start after at least 9 subjects have completed treatment with the 60 mg/kg LD/40 mg/kg MD 
lumicitabine regimen, after their safety and PK data have been reviewed by the IDMC, and after 
the IDMC has recommended that the recruitment of subjects with underlying comorbidities may 
start. Screening should be completed as soon as possible and the subject randomized within 
≤5 days of RSV symptom onset. Procedures that are standard of care and performed within 
approximately 72 hours prior to randomization may be used in determining study eligibility or 
determining baseline values.
Randomization will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset until time of 
randomization (≤3 days; >3 days to ≤5 days), and by presence or absence of at least 1 comorbid 
condition for severe RSV disease (prematurity at birth [subject’s gestational age was <37 weeks; 
for infants <1 year old at randomization], bronchopulmonary dysplasia, congenital heart disease, 
other congenital diseases, Down syndrome, neuromuscular impairment, or cystic fibrosis).
Treatment with lumicitabine should be initiated as soon as possible but no later than 4 hours after 
randomization to maximize the opportunity for the compound to inhibit viral replication and 
potentially improve outcomes. The parent(s)/caregiver(s) will administer the study drug at home 
until all doses are administered if the subject is discharged prior to the completion of treatment. 
Subjects will be evaluated for a total of 28 days postrandomization. Depending on the discharge 
date, assessments will be completed either in the hospital or during outpatient visits. On Day 28,

all subjects will complete the study either as an inpatient or outpatient. The total study duration 
for each subject will be 28 days, screening phase not included.
The doses will not exceed those resulting in an expected average JNJ-63549109 plasma Area 
Under the Curve from time 0 to 24 hours after dosing (AUC0-24h) of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 
25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the lowest systemic NOAEL 
observed in nonclinical toxicity studies. 
Assessments performed during the study will include: antiviral activity and an evaluation of the 
clinical course of RSV infection; safety and tolerability assessments (AEs, laboratory 
assessments, ECGs, physical examination, and vital signs/SpO2); PK assessments based on 
sparse sampling will be performed using a popPK model; sequence analysis of the L-gene to 
identify preexisting sequence polymorphisms, to characterize RSV variants and other regions of 
the RSV genome if warranted, and to evaluate emergence of any resistance-associated mutations; 
and exploratory biomarkers to determine the effects of lumicitabine on markers of RSV disease.
Given the challenges of assuring study-site preparation in time to recruit for an acute seasonal 
infection like RSV and the delays caused by implementing an amendment during an RSV 
season, the duration of dosing of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the IDMC 
based on the review of this study and data from other ongoing studies of lumicitabine.
Up to 2 formal interim analyses may be performed during the study. The first interim analysis 
will be performed once 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms have completed treatment 
(Day 5/6) or once 90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been enrolled and have 
completed treatment. The following situations will be considered based on the results at this 
stage: that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with 
>3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be 
limited to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); or that the study can continue unchanged. The 
treatment regimen may be modified after the first interim analysis, including increasing the 
treatment duration up to 10 days. After this analysis, randomization to 1 of the lumicitabine 
doses may be discontinued, the randomization ratio may change, and the study may not continue 
in subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization. The second interim analysis 
may be performed at the discretion of the sponsor once at least 120 subjects have completed 
treatment (Day 5/6) (or at least 60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms). The following 
situations will be considered based on the results at this stage: that the study is considered futile; 
that superiority can be concluded; or that the study can continue unchanged. Based on the 
recommendations of the IDMC following these interim analyses/reviews of PK, efficacy, and 
safety data, changes to randomization ratios in the treatment arms or an increase in treatment
duration to 10 days may be implemented.
1.3.
Statistical Hypotheses for Trial Objectives
The primary hypothesis of this study is that there is a positive dose-response relationship of 
active treatment on the average RSV viral load AUC over 7 days, meaning that either the 
average AUC on the pooled active treatments is lower than on placebo, or the average AUC on 
the high dose is lower than the average AUC on placebo, using multiple contrast testing.

1.4.
Sample Size Justification
On high dose, the hypothesis of the lumicitabine antiviral activity assumes a viral load reduction 
on the AUC of the log viral load over 7 days of at least 30% when compared to placebo in 
subjects with onset of symptoms ≤3 days and of at least 20% in subjects with onset of symptoms 
>3 days. The antiviral activity on low dose is assumed to be 80% when compared to the antiviral 
activity on the high dose. The positive dose-response relationship assumes that dose regimens 
with higher exposure with respect to MD will have at least an equal or better effect on viral load. 
Therefore 2 contrasts will be tested at each of the interim analysis points and final analysis; a 
contrast with no difference between the 2 active regimens tested against placebo (high equal to 
low, better than placebo) and a contrast with a positive ‘linear’ dose-response relationship (high 
better than low, low better than placebo) with respect to active regimens (where the effect of the 
low dose is exactly in between that of placebo and the high dose regimen). With respect to 
multiple contrast testing, multiplicity (2 contrasts) will be controlled at the prespecified (interim) 
alpha level by calculating adjusted p-values from the simulated distribution of the maximum or 
maximum absolute value of a multivariate t random vector (ie, using the correlation between the 
contrasts to optimally control for alpha).
Based on the observed data of other in-house studies, the estimated SD is assumed to be 
approximately 34% of the AUC for subjects treated with placebo and the SD is equal in each of 
the treatment regimens. The overall (family wise) type 1 error rate of 2.5% (1-sided) will be 
adjusted for multiple testing due to formal interim analyses using a Pocock alpha spending 
function with 3 sequential tests (2 interim, 1 final). Based on 10,000 simulations and using a 
general linear model with treatment regimen as fixed factors, and under the assumption that 40% 
of the recruited subjects have onset of symptoms ≤3 days, a sample size of 180 subjects 
randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio will offer approximately 97% power to detect a positive 
dose-response relationship using multiple contrast testing. With the second interim analysis 
planned after at least 120 subjects, there will be at least 80% power to detect a positive dose-
response relationship at the time of this analysis.

Randomization and Blinding
Treatment Allocation
Procedures for Randomization and Stratification
Central randomization will be implemented in this study. Subjects will be randomly assigned 
based on a computer-generated randomization schedule prepared before the start of the study by 
or under the supervision of the sponsor. The randomization will be balanced by using randomly 
permuted blocks and will be stratified by duration of RSV symptoms from onset till time of
randomization (≤3 days versus >3 to ≤5 days) and by presence or absence of comorbidity. The 
interactive web response system (IWRS) will assign a unique treatment code, which will dictate 
the treatment assignment and matching study drug kit for the subject. The requestor must use his 
or her own user identification and personal identification number when contacting the IWRS, 
and will then give the relevant subject details to uniquely identify the subject.

Approved, Date: 11 December 2017
Blinding
The investigator will not be provided with randomization codes. The codes will be maintained 
within the IWRS, which has the functionality to allow the investigator to break the blind for an 
individual subject.
Data that may potentially unblind the treatment assignment (ie, study drug serum concentrations, 
study drug preparation/accountability data, treatment allocation, biomarker or other specific 
laboratory data) will be handled with special care to ensure that the integrity of the blind is 
maintained and the potential for bias is minimized. This can include making special provisions, 
such as segregating the data in question from view by the investigators, clinical team, or others 
as appropriate until the time of database lock and unblinding.
Under normal circumstances, the blind should not be broken until the unblinded IDMC review 
takes place (see Section 3.2, Data Monitoring Committee). The blind will be broken for the 
interim analyses (see Section 3.1, Interim Analysis) or when all subjects have completed the 
study and the database is finalized. Otherwise, the blind should be broken only if specific 
emergency treatment/course of action would be dictated by knowing the treatment status of the 
subject. In such cases, the investigator may in an emergency determine the identity of the 
treatment by contacting the IWRS. It is strongly recommended that the investigator contact the 
sponsor or its designee if possible to discuss the particular situation, before breaking the blind. 
Telephone contact with the sponsor or its designee will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per 
week. In the event the blind is broken, the sponsor must be informed as soon as possible. The 
date, time, and reason for the unblinding must be documented by the IWRS, in the appropriate 
section of the electronic case report form (eCRF) and in the source document. The 
documentation received from the IWRS indicating the code break must be retained with the 
subject’s source documents in a secure manner.
Subjects who have had their treatment assignment unblinded should continue to return for 
scheduled evaluations. Discontinuation of study treatment should be done only for the reasons 
stated in the Protocol Section 10.2, Discontinuation of Study Treatment/Withdrawal From the 
Study; unblinding of study treatment should not necessarily lead to study drug discontinuation.
In general, randomization codes will be disclosed fully only if the study is completed and the 
clinical database is closed. However, if an interim analysis is specified, the randomization codes 
and, if required, the translation of randomization codes into treatment and control groups will be 
disclosed to those authorized and only for those subjects included in the interim analysis.
In the event that the subject continues into the long-term follow-up study, then the subject and 
investigator will remain blinded until the follow-up study is completed.

*In order to account for “approximately” 72 hours prior to randomization
The last phase, whichever it is for a subject, always ends on 23:59 of the day of trial termination 
(last contact) in study 64041575RSV2004. Note a subject can volunteer for long-term follow-up, 
in this case the subject will be enrolled in study 64041575RSV2002.
Assessments will be assigned to phases based on their date time, seconds will be ignored. If the 
day part of the start date of the assessment is present but the time part is missing, the assessment 
will be allocated as if it started at 00:00h on the day of the assessment (unless for Adverse Events 
see details in section 6.1.1). If the day part of the end date of the assessment is present but the 
time part is missing, no formal imputation will be done, but these rules will only be applied in 
order to be able to allocate assessments to phases. The assessment will be allocated as if it 
happened at 23:59h on the day of the assessment.
As subjects do not always adhere to the protocol visit schedule, the following rules are applied to 
assign actual visits to analysis visits. Listed below are the visit windows and the target days for 
each visit.

* Depending on the VISIT label, the measurement of subjects returning on Day 12 should be assigned to Day 10 or 
Day 14. In case the VISIT label equals Day 12 the measurement will be allocated to Day 10.
For the analyses of measurements scheduled once daily the following rules will be applied in 
order to have only one evaluation per subject per analysis visit:
1. If two assessments fall within the same interval, the measurement closest to the target 
day will be used.
2. If the assessments are equidistant, the last measurement within the interval will be 
used.
3. If there are two measurements on the same date and time, then the measurement with 
the highest sequence number will be used.
An exception will be made:
1. In case multiple nasal swabs were taken on a single day, the maximum viral load on 
the log scale will be used as the analysis value for that subject on that day. 
For the analysis of measurements scheduled more than once daily (vital signs: twice daily and 
SpO2: every 4 hours / every 8 hours), the assessments will be allocated to analysis time points as 
described in the table below based on the actual time of the measurement. In case there is more 
than one assessment per analysis time point window, the mean of these assessments will be 
calculated in order to have only one evaluation per analysis timepoint.

* In case the measurement should be allocated to ‘Evening’ of the previous 
day based on the time interval, the analysis visit should be adapted based on 
the relative day of the previous day. In case less than 75% of subjects is 
inpatient on an analysis visit, the records will not be allocated to any time 
point. In this case, the average of all records on that day (selected according 
to the rules for the analysis visit defined above) will be used for the analysis 
in case multiple records are available. In case 75% or more subjects are 
inpatient on this analysis visit, all records will be assigned to an analysis time 
point (also subjects for which the visit is outpatient) and both time points will 
be analyzed. 
** For the SpO2, the analysis time point will be set to Midday on outpatient 
visits of individual subjects, without taking the actual time into account. In
case at least 75% of subjects is still in inpatient on this analysis visit, all 3 
time points will be used and shown in the analysis. In case less than 75% of 
subjects is inpatient, only the Midday time point will be analyzed. 
2.2.
Pooling Algorithm for Analysis Centers
If positive treatment effects are found in a trial with appreciable numbers of subjects per center, 
there should generally be an exploration of the heterogeneity of treatment effects across centers, 
as this may affect the generalizability of the conclusions. As it is expected that for this trial 
subjects will be recruited over a large number of centers with a small number of subjects per 
study center, there is no need to check for treatment by center interactions. In addition, the 
primary endpoint is an objective endpoint, which is evaluated by a central viral monitor, and 
thus, no heterogeneity across centers is anticipated. Therefore, no pooling algorithm for analysis 
centers will be specified.

All Randomized Analysis Set
Randomized Analysis Set (RAND): All randomized subjects with a randomization date at or 
before the date of first intake of medication, or with a randomization date and a missing date for 
first medication intake, analyzed as randomized.

2.3.2.
Efficacy Analysis Set(s)
Intention-To-Treat (ITT) set: All randomized subjects who receive at least 1 dose of study drug. 
Analyses on the ITT Set will be analyzed as randomized.
Intention-To-Treat-infected (ITT-i) set: All randomly assigned subjects who receive at least 1 
dose of study drug and who have an RSV infection confirmed by a PCR-based assay at baseline 
or within 1 hour after the first study medication intake at the central laboratory. Analyses on the 
ITT-i Set will be as randomized.
Per-Protocol (PP) Analysis set: All subjects in the ITT-i set who do not have protocol violations 
that may have an impact on the efficacy analysis.
Decisions regarding which subjects are included in the PP set will be made before database lock 
on following criteria:

Compliance: Subjects must have at most 1 missed dose. On the day of randomization at 
least one dose needs to be taken (so missed dose cannot be the first dose).

The actual treatment must be the same as the planned treatment.

No unblinding may have taken place during the study.

Subjects will be excluded from the PP set if they have taken concomitant medications 
that may have affected the efficacy of the trial medication. Subjects will be excluded on a 
case by case basis using a list provided by clinical.

Subjects may not violate inclusion criteria 3 or 4, nor exclusion criteria 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 
10.
Analyses on the Per-Protocol set will be analyzed as randomized.

Safety Analysis Set
Safety Set or All Subjects Treated (AST): All subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug, 
analyzed as treated.
Randomized or Treated (RT) set: All subjects who are in the Randomized Analysis Set (RAND) 
and/or the All Subjects Treated (AST) set. The Randomized or Treated Analysis Set (RT) will be 
used in all listings.

INTERIM ANALYSIS AND DATA MONITORING COMMITTEE REVIEW
3.1.
Interim Analysis
An Interim Analysis Committee will be responsible for performing the formal interim analysis 
and will consist of sponsor personnel who are not otherwise involved in the study. The IDMC 
will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor Committee, which will be 
responsible for identifying appropriate actions based on the recommendations of the IDMC.
Two types of interim analyses are distinguished: formal interim analysis and interim analyses 
performed by the IDMC only. The IDMC is described in Section 3.2, Independent Data 
Monitoring Committee, and Section 3, Overview of Study Design. At any formal interim 
analysis, the IDMC will also perform a data review.
The Interim Analysis Committee will be responsible for performing any formal interim analysis 
and will consist of sponsor personnel who are not otherwise involved in study activities. The first 
formal interim analysis will be performed when 36 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms 
have completed treatment or when 90 subjects with >3 to ≤5 days of RSV symptoms have been 
enrolled and have completed treatment. The second interim analysis may be performed at the 
discretion of the sponsor when at least 120 subjects have completed treatment (or at least 
60 subjects with ≤3 days of RSV symptoms), which may allow an analysis at the end of a season.
The following situations will be considered based on the results of any formal interim analysis: 
that the study is considered futile; that superiority can be concluded; that subjects with >3 to 
≤5 days of RSV symptoms at randomization may not achieve benefit (which may also be limited 
to ≤4 days of onset to symptoms); that the treatment duration needs to be increased to up to 
10 days; or that the study should continue unchanged. In the case of the (unbinding) futility 
boundary or the superiority boundary being crossed, the IDMC may recommend early 
termination to the Sponsor Committee. If early superiority on the primary endpoint can be 
established, the study may be continued in order to accumulate data to allow the selection of the 
dose regimen or further substantiate the benefit-risk profile in this population; in this case the 
randomization ratio of active to placebo treatment may be altered for example, if dose selection 
is evident from the dose-response analysis, subjects randomized to active treatment may all 
receive the optimal dose. Alternative randomization ratios can be endorsed by the IDMC and 
implemented by the Sponsor Committee for Option A are 1:2:0, 1:0:2, 1:2:2, and 2:1:3 for the 
placebo, low dose, and high dose, respectively. 
Results of the formal interim analyses can be used in interactions with Health Authorities.
3.2.
Independent Data Monitoring Committee
An IDMC will be established to monitor data and will review data in an unblinded manner on a 
regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the subjects enrolled in this study. The IDMC 
will review the data and make recommendations to the Sponsor Committee, which will be 
responsible for identifying appropriate actions based on the recommendations of the IDMC. 
Details are provided in the IDMC Charter.

Approved, Date: 11 December 2017
The IDMC will consist of at least 1 medical expert in the relevant therapeutic area and at least 
1 statistician, 1 of whom will chair the committee. The IDMC responsibilities, authorities, and 
procedures will be documented in the IDMC Charter. Other members may be required dependent 
on the nature of the interim analysis. The intent is to have the same IDMC monitoring this study 
as for Study ALS-8176-503 given their familiarity with the compound. The IDMC will make 
dose recommendations at the beginning of the study, which will help determine which design 
option is chosen.
The IDMC will review the PK and safety data at the timepoints specified in Section 3, Overview 
of Study Design, and will continue to assess the PK, safety, and (selected) efficacy data during 
the conduct of the study. The frequency of IDMC reviews will be detailed in the IDMC Charter.
At any formal interim analysis, the IDMC will also perform a data review.
Given the challenges of ensuring study-site preparation in time to recruit for an acute seasonal 
infection like RSV and the delays caused by implementing an amendment during an RSV 
season, the duration of dosing of lumicitabine may be modified by recommendation of the IDMC 
based on the review of this study and data from other ongoing studies of lumicitabine. The 
duration of dosing if extended will not exceed 10 days and the doses will not exceed those 
resulting in an expected average JNJ-63549109 plasma AUC0-24h of 20,000 ng.h/mL (or 
25,200 ng.h/mL in whole blood), a limit that is 2.7-fold lower than the lowest systemic NOAEL 
exposure observed in nonclinical toxicity studies. If the IDMC determines that subjects with a 
duration of RSV symptoms of 5 days prior to randomization may not achieve benefit based on 
interim results, they may recommend that the time of onset of RSV symptoms to the time of 
randomization is reduced. In addition, if the IDMC determines that subjects with a duration of 
RSV symptoms longer than 5 days prior to randomization may achieve benefit, this duration may 
be increased to up to 7 days (ie, 7 days from symptom onset to randomization). If such 
modifications, including changes to the randomization ratio, are recommended by the IDMC and 
endorsed by the Sponsor Committee, these changes will be communicated in writing to 
investigators, health authorities, and IEC/IRB and may be implemented without amendment to 
this protocol. Sponsor personnel involved in this process will not be involved in the conduct of 
the study. Details are provided in the IDMC Charter.

Disposition Information
Screened subjects and reason for screen failures will be summarized overall.
The number of subjects in the following disposition categories will be summarized throughout 
the study by treatment group and overall:

subjects randomized, randomized and not treated, treated and not randomized, 
randomized or treated, safety set, intent-to-treat set, intent-to-treat-infected set and per-

subjects who completed and discontinued treatment and the trial, with the reasons of 
discontinuation.

subjects per phase and per analysis visit in the trial
4.3.
Treatment Compliance
Treatment compliance will be calculated for the loading dose and maintenance dose separately.
The treatment compliance will be calculated as follows:
Treatment compliance (%) = 100 x number of doses of study medication / planned number of 
doses according to the protocol (including additional doses needed because of treatment 
extension)
The planned number of doses is 1 loading dose and 9 maintenance doses. In case of treatment 
extension the maximum planned number of doses for the maintenance doses will be 19.
Treatment compliance will be summarized descriptively by treatment group.

Note that the Per-protocol set definition takes into account any deviation from the protocol that 
could affect the efficacy. These are not necessarily major deviations, nor are major deviations 
considered to always affect efficacy and to warrant exclusion from the PP analysis.
4.6.
Prior and Concomitant Medications
Prior and Concomitant medications will be summarized by preferred term using the World 
Health Organization Drug Dictionary (WHO-DD) as frequency tables in 2 parts: 
1. Prior medication: medication that started before the first dose of study drug, regardless of 
when dosing of the medication ended 
2. Concomitant medication: medication received at or after the first dose of study drug, 
medication that was received before initial dosing and continued after initial dosing of 
study drug, or medication with missing stop date. 
(Medication that started before the first dose of study drug and continued after the first dose of 
study drug will be summarized as prior medication and separately as concomitant medication.) 
The part on concomitant medication will be shown by ATC class level up to level 3. 
If a prior/concomitant therapy record misses’ components of its start and/or stop dates (time 
and/or day and/or month and/or year), the following actions will be taken: 
1. In case of partial start or stop datetimes, the concomitant therapy records will be allocated 
to prior/concomitant using the available partial information, without imputations. 
2. In case of a completely missing start date, the prior/concomitant therapy will be 
considered as having started before the trial. 
3. In case of a completely missing end date, the prior/concomitant therapy will be 
considered as ongoing at the end of the trial. 
Separate tables will be made for medication related to fever and not related to fever. Medication
related to fever will be categorized as Acetaminophen/paracetamol, Ibuprofen, or other. These 
tables will be made by phase and combined phases and by treatment group and overall treatment.

EFFICACY
All efficacy will be analyzed on the Intention-To-Treat-infected (ITT-i) set.
5.1.
Analysis Specifications
5.1.1.
Level of Significance
Two contrasts will be tested at each of the interim analysis points and final analysis; a contrast 
with no difference between the 2 active regimens tested against placebo (high equal to low, 
better than placebo) and a contrast with a positive ‘linear’ dose-response relationship (high better 
than low, low better than placebo) with respect to active regimens (where the effect of the low 
dose is exactly in between that of placebo and the high dose regimen). With respect to multiple 
contrast testing, multiplicity (2 contrasts) will be controlled at the prespecified (interim) alpha 
level by calculating adjusted p-values from the simulated distribution of the maximum or 
maximum absolute value of a multivariate t random vector (ie, using the correlation between the 
contrasts to optimally control for alpha). 
The significance level of alpha (α*) will have to be calculated based on the information fraction 
at the time of the test using the pre-specified Pocock α spending function.
α * (t')= α *ln (1+ (e-1)*t')
where t’=n/N, n is the ITT-i set size and N is the expected ITT-i set size at the end of study 
(=120).
5.1.2.
Data Handling Rules
For analysis purposes the log10 qRT-PCR viral load will be imputed with 0 when the result is 
‘negative’, and the midpoint on the log10 scale between the limit of detection and limit of 
quantification when the result is ‘positive’ but non-quantifiable. For the qRT-PCR assay used for 
detection and quantification of RSV-A and RSV-B, the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is 3
log10 (copies/mL) for RSV-A and 2.4 log10 (copies/mL) for RSV-B, the limit of detection (LOD) 
is 2.7 log10 (copies/mL) for RSV-A and 1.9 log10 (copies/mL) for RSV-B.
5.2.
Primary Efficacy Endpoint(s)
5.2.1.
Definition
RSV RNA will be measured in mid-turbinate nasal swab specimens using an RSV-A/B qRT-
PCR developed by DDL Diagnostic Laboratory.
The primary endpoint is RSV RNA log10 viral load (measured by qRT-PCR in the mid-turbinate 
nasal swab specimens) area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from immediately prior to 
first dose of study drug (baseline) until Day 7.
The primary estimates of the AUC1-7 Days will be derived from a mixed model (see section 5.2.3
for the detailed specification). No imputations of missing data from nasal swabs post-baseline 
will be done in this model, as this mixed model would allow to make inferences under the 
missing at random assumption.

Approved, Date: 11 December 2017
Note that for the primary endpoint the following rules apply:

Only values as provided by the central lab will be used.

Baseline is defined as the last measurement before first intake. In case a result is 
available that is no later than 1 hour after treatment initiation this may be used but 
only if no pre-treatment observation is available.

For all post-baseline analysis visits the RSV RNA log10 viral load result of the swab 
that was performed at that day will be used.

In case multiple nasal swabs were taken on a single day the maximum on the log 
scale will be used as the value for that subject.
As a sensitivity analysis, descriptive statistics will be provided for the viral load AUC between 
0h and 144h (AUC0-144h); calculated by the trapezoidal summation rule, based on date time of 
sampling, including the timepoints with (imputed) values available: 
	

 = 
	
 ∑
( + 	) × ( −	)

	
  
where i=1,2,3,…n are the time points when post baseline samples are collected, yi is the log 10 
viral load at the time and ti is the time in hours post baseline.  yo is the (imputed) log 10 viral 
load at baseline,  t0 is time 0 and tn is time 144h. 
The following additional rules, on top of the rules of the primary analysis, will be applied to deal 
with missing values before calculating the Viral load AUC 0-144h:

The value at time point 0h, if not exactly at 0h, will be calculated based on intrapolation 
between the last observed pre-dose value and the first observed post-dose value.

The value at 144h, if not exactly at 144h, will be calculated based on intrapolation 
between the last observed value before 144h and the first observed value after 144h.

Missing values between 0h and 144h will be imputed by intrapolation.

If the last observation is missing, the last available observation will be carried forward
until 144h is reached. 
5.2.2.
Estimand
The difference in the RSV RNA log10 viral load AUC1-7Days for active versus placebo treatment 
will be derived from the mixed model specified in section 5.2.3, deriving least square mean 
differences, including the nominal 95% 2-sided confidence intervals in the Intention-To-Treat-
infected (ITT-i) set.
These estimates are customary and will not be used to conclude for a positive dose-response 
relationship, but are relevant for reviewers to understand the effect of each dose on the viral load 
and the customary level of uncertainty associated with it.

Analysis Methods
Mean log10 viral load values over time will be analyzed using a restricted maximum likelihood 
based repeated measures approach. Analyses will include the fixed, categorical effects of 
treatment, stratification factors, analysis visit, and treatment-by-analysis visit interaction, as well 
as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline log10 viral load and baseline log10 viral load by-
analysis visit interaction. An unstructured covariance structure will be selected. In case this 
model will not converge, the following list of covariance structures will be applied and a 
selection will be based on the Akaike Information Criterion for those that do converge:

Unstructured [UN]

Ante-dependence [ANTE(1)]

Heterogenous Toeplitz [TOEPH]

Heterogeneous CS [CSH]

Heterogeneous AR(1) [ARH(1)]

Toeplitz [TOEP]
The Kenward-Roger approximation will be used to estimate denominator degrees of freedom. 
The testing of the dose-response relation is based on the expectation that higher dose regimens 
will be at least as efficacious as lower dose regimens with respect to efficacy on the viral load 
over time. Therefore, two contrasts on the dose regimens have been selected that are consistent 
with this expectation: 

a contrast with no difference between the 2 active regimens tested against placebo and

a contrast with a positive linear dose-response relationship with respect to active 
regimens. 
A multiple comparison approach will be taken testing the 2 contrasts combined versus placebo, 
adjusted for multiplicity. 
The SAS mock code used to test the primary hypotheses will be as follows:
proc mixed data=viral_load;
where avisitn in (2,3,4,5,6,7)

The variable trt denotes the placebo, low dose regimen, and high dose regimen treatment groups, 
the avisitn variable denotes the swabbing visits at Days 2 through 7, and the base variable is the 
baseline log10 viral load measured at Day 1.
The lower option is selected as the contrast needs to have a value below zero (ie, there needs to 
be a reduction in AUC1-7Days comparing active treatment to placebo). In summary, a positive 
dose-response relationship will be concluded if based on this analysis for any of the two 
estimations the resulting adjusted p-value is lower than the associated Pocock critical value (see 
section 5.1.1).
The differences in the AUC1-7Days for active versus placebo will be derived using appropriate 
contrasts deriving least square mean differences, including the 95% 2-sided confidence intervals.
The individual AUC0-144h as calculated using the trapezoidal rule will be considered as a 
supportive analysis and will be analyzed using a linear model with AUC0-144h as a dependent 
variable and treatment group and stratum as fixed factors, and baseline log10 viral load as fixed 
covariate. For this analysis no adjustments for multiplicity will be applied, that is the differences 
versus placebo will be estimated using appropriate contrasts with 95% confidence intervals.
Before unblinding, the viral load data will be evaluated to assess whether viral load 
measurements based on swabs performed by the Health Care Provider (HCP) are similar as the 
swabs not performed by a HCP. Individual line plots will be created to visually check individual 
patterns for any difference between the samples. Depending on the visual inspection a decision 
will be made if all samples or only the samples from swabs performed by a HCP will be 
considered for the primary analysis. For example, if for the majority of subjects there is a clear
drop in viral load when switched from samples taken by a HCP and samples taken by a non-
HCP, the decision could be that only samples from swabs done by a HCP will be used. This 
blinded data review will be done before the database lock of the interim analysis and may also 
take other data sources into account.

Highest value of log10 viral load at or after the baseline measurement.
The first record in time with this highest value is selected. This can be 
the baseline record or an unscheduled record.
Rate of decline of 
viral load over the 
first 24 hours
Calculated as a log decline/24 hours defined as: 
(24-hour log viral load after first dose of study drug – log viral load at
baseline) / (date/time of 24-hour viral load sample – date/time of
baseline viral load)
Note, the 24-hour viral load may not have been measured at exactly 24 
hours following first dose, but the actual date/time associated with the 
24-hour viral load will be used in computing the viral load slope. In 
case the 24 hour measurement is not available the slope will be 
calculated using the Day 3 assessment (48 hours), using the same 
definition. If there is no measurement in that time frame, the slope will 
not be calculated.

The boundaries of the censoring intervals are defined as the number of 
hours from the start of treatment. 
The left boundary of the interval is the last positive assessment before 
the first confirmed negative sample which is not followed by a 
confirmed positive sample (at baseline every subject is considered 
positive). If no negative samples are observed, the left boundary will 
be the last sample obtained. 
The right boundary of the interval is the first confirmed negative 
sample which is not followed by a confirmed positive sample. If this is 
not observed, the interval is right censored. 
A confirmed positive sample is defined as two consecutive non-
negative samples; a confirmed negative sample is defined as two 
consecutive negative samples.

table including number of subjects included in the analysis, number of subjects censored, 25th
and 75th percentiles and median time-to event, with 95% confidence intervals based on log-log 
transformation method, will be presented. The data will be presented graphically using the 
Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival function by treatment.
Accelerated failure time (AFT) model 
When indicated time-to event variables will be compared between each active treatment group 
and placebo using an accelerated failure time (AFT) model. The distribution to be used will be 
determined based on the goodness of fit using Akaike’s information criterion and will be selected 
from the following parametric families: lognormal, log-logistic, or Weibull. The AFT model will 
include the fixed, categorical effects for treatment (with placebo as the reference) and 
stratification factor. 
A summary of information from the final AFT model will include parameter estimates and 
associated standard errors, estimated accelerated failure time ratios versus placebo and associated 
95% confidence intervals, and p-values. The survival curves per treatment group of the 
accelerated failure time model will also be shown.
Logistic regression model 
A stratified logistic regression model will be used to analyze the binary outcome, with treatment 
group and stratification factors as fixed effect, will be used to obtain the odds ratios (95% CI) for 
each comparison versus placebo.

The odds ratios including 95% confidence interval of active groups versus placebo will be 
derived from the final model using appropriate contrasts. Exact logistic regression models will be 
used in case the incidence of the events is low (< 10 events).
Model building procedure
In the statistical models following predictive covariates and or baseline indicators may be 
included: baseline log10 viral load, smoking in the environment (yes/no), presence/absence of 
comorbid diseases, presence/absence of comorbid diseases associated with risk for lower 
respiratory tract disease, presence/absence of other conditions/therapy of potential interest, days 
since symptom initiation, RSV subtype, use of corticosteroids, supplemental oxygen at baseline, 
absence/presence of other viral or bacterial infections and age as continuous variable. 
Stepwise forward selection will be used to identify the prognostic factors in combination with 
backward elimination. A significance value of 0.05 is required for a variable to enter the model 
and a significance value of 0.10 is required to stay in the model.
5.3.2.1.
RSV RNA log10 viral load qRT-PCR
Log10 Viral Load
Descriptive statistics and mean (SE) graphs will be shown of the log10 viral load actual values 
and changes from baseline. For exploratory purpose the log10 viral load actual values and 
changes from baseline will also be shown by sampling method (measured in the mid-turbinate 
nasal swabs and endotracheal samples from intubated subjects).
Differences on RSV RNA log10 viral load by qRT PCR between treatment groups and by 
analysis visit will be determined by using appropriate contrasts in the mixed model in which the 
primary endpoint is modelled. Nominal 95% confidence intervals will be used.
Peak viral load; Rate of decline 
The Rate of decline of viral load over the first 24 hours will be analyzed using descriptive 
statistics including the geometric mean and the coefficient of variation (CV).
The log peak viral load and rate of decline of RSV RNA viral load will be compared for active 
groups versus placebo groups using a general linear model with treatment and strata included as 
fixed effects.
Residuals of the final model will be plotted in a normal probability plot. 
In case the model does not fit the log peak value data well, the log transformation (ie. the log of 
log peak viral load) will be considered as dependent variable. The data from the model will be 
reported as (adjusted) differences in least squares (LS) means (in the case of untransformed data) 
or (adjusted) geometric mean ratios (in case of log-transformed data) of active dose groups 
versus placebo, including 95% confidence intervals using appropriate contrasts.

RSV viral load AUC’s.
The same model used for the primary analysis will be used to test for a dose response 
relationship on the viral load AUC until Day 10, until Day 14 and until 1 day after last dose for 
subjects with treatment extension (if applicable) (respectively AUC1-10Days, AUC1-14Days and 
AUC1-xxDays). No corrections for multiplicity will be made, thus the significance level of alpha 
(α*) will be kept at 0.05. The differences in these AUCs for active versus placebo will be derived 
using appropriate contrasts deriving least square mean differences, including the 95% 2 sided 
confidence intervals.
The sensitivity analysis will be similar as for the primary endpoint, using the calculated viral 
load AUCs per subject based on the trapezoidal method (AUC0-240h, AUC0-336h and AUC0-xxh) as 
indicated in section 5.3.1.1.
Proportion of subjects with undetectable RSV viral load
The proportion of subjects within the RSV RNA viral load categories (undetectable, detectable 
and quantifiable) will be shown in a frequency tabulation per analysis time point (with 
corresponding 95% CI), per treatment group and per phase (treatment, follow-up and combined 
treatment + follow-up).
Subjects with missing data on that analysis visit will not be counted in the denominator for the 
proportion.
In addition, a stratified logistic regression model will be used to analyze the outcome.
Time to peak viral load
This time-to event variable will be analyzed as indicated above using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Time to virus undetectable [time-to event]
This time-to event variable will be analyzed as indicated above using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Additionally, the time-to event data will be analyzed using the logrank test and Gehan-Wilcoxon 
method.
Time to virus undetectable [interval censored]
The differences in time to RSV RNA being undetectable of active dosing regimens versus 
placebo treatment will also be estimated using the accelerated failure time model based on 
interval censored data. Treatment and stratum will be added as fixed categorical effects, while 
log baseline viral load will be added as a continuous fixed covariate. 
Treatment effect versus placebo will be reported as an acceleration factor including 95% 
confidence intervals for each active treatment group. Estimated survival curves will be created 
based on the mean baseline viral load value and weighted average for each stratum.

Duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (hours) [Duration]
The duration in the ICU will be analyzed descriptively for all subjects and by subgroup of 
subjects staying / not staying in the ICU at the time of first dose of study drug. 
Requirement for intensive care or supplemental support
The requirement for intensive care unit (ICU) stay, for oxygen supplementation, for noninvasive 
mechanical ventilation support, for invasive mechanical ventilation support, for supplemental 
feeding/hydration will be analyzed similarly. These requirement parameters will only be 
calculated for those subjects that don’t require intensive care or supplemental support (depending 
on the parameter of interest) before first dose of study drug.
The proportion of subjects within the requirement categories (yes and no) will be shown in a

In addition, a stratified logistic regression model will be used to analyze the outcome
The analyses of the requirement parameters will answer the question:
Is there a treatment difference in preventing the use of intensive care or supplemental support? 
Time to end of intensive care or supplemental support

Kaplan-Meier analysis and stratified Gehan test to compare active treatment groups versus 
placebo will be used.
These time-to event parameters will answer the question:
Is there a treatment difference in the time to no longer requiring intensive care or supplemental 
support? 
While we cannot integrate the results on the requirement for intensive care or supplemental 
support and the time to end of intensive care or supplemental support they are conceptually 
linked. We will combine the p-values for both independent tests for the comparison of each 
active group versus placebo using the method of Liptak[3].
Additionally these time-to event parameters will be analyzed for all ITT-i subjects using 
Kaplan-Meier analysis as indicated above and using a stratified Gehan test to compare between 
treatment groups
Time to clinical stability and Time to return to pre-RSV disease level
These time-to event parameters will be analyzed as indicated above using Kaplan-Meier 
analysis.
The differences in time of active dose regimens versus placebo treatment will be estimated using 
a Cox proportional hazard model; as baseline covariates, stratification factors, absence/presence 
of other viral or bacterial infections, and baseline log10 viral load will be added. Treatment effect 
versus placebo will be reported, including 95% confidence intervals. A Log-log plot of survival 
will be added to check the proportional hazard assumption. 
Additionally, the time-to event data will be analyzed using the logrank test and Gehan-Wilcoxon 
method.
Incidence of acute otitis media and all-cause mortality
The incidence of acute otitis media and of all-cause mortality will be analyzed similarly. Note 
that these incidences are only analyzed if any subjects have acute otitis media or if any deaths 
occur.
The proportion of subjects with presence/absence of acute otitis media and who died yes/no will 
be shown in a frequency tabulation (with corresponding 95% CI) and per treatment group.
A stratified logistic regression model will be used to analyze the outcome.

Pediatric RSV Electronic Severity and Outcome Rating System (PRESORS)
5.4.1.
Definition
Currently, no single outcome assessment tool is widely accepted to assess the severity of RSV in 
infants and children. Although various clinical scores have been developed for the evaluation of 
the severity of acute respiratory infections and/or bronchiolitis in infants and children, none have 
been sufficiently validated for the longitudinal monitoring of the severity of RSV infection. 
Considering that there are no widely accepted or fully validated clinical endpoints for use in 
studies of RSV treatment, the PRESORS, an electronic clinician and parent/caregiver RSV 
infection severity rating assessment, will be further developed and evaluated for validity and 
reliability in a phase 0 trials, 64041575RSV0001.
The PRESORS data may also be analyzed for specific psychometric properties outside the scope 
of this protocol (possibly in conjunction with data from study 64041575RSV0001). In that case 
results will also be reported separately.
This study includes the same version of the PRESORS as in this validation study. The scoring 
system that will be used during this validation is available in attachment 4. 
The PRESORS scores are defined as in table below. These will be calculated at each scheduled 
time point a questionnaire was filled in. A change from baseline will also be calculated.

The relationship between the clinician eCOA and parent(s)/caregiver(s) eCOA responses
The relationship between the severity of signs and symptoms as assessed by the clinician and the 
parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be assessed using spearman rank correlation between the clinician’s 
score (both during the past 12 hours and now) and the parent(s)/caregiver(s) score. This 
correlation will be evaluated at baseline and on all scheduled assessments where both the 
clinician eCOA and caregiver eCOA have been performed. Other methods may be considered as 
appropriate.

SAFETY
All safety analyses will be done on the Safety Set.
6.1.
Adverse Events
6.1.1.
Definitions
Coding of AE
The verbatim terms used in the eCRF by investigators to identify AEs will be coded using the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Events are looked at on the level of their preferred 
term.
Emergent Adverse Event
Emergent AEs are AEs with onset after first study medication intake or that are a consequence of 
a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline. All reported emergent AEs will be 
included in the analysis. For each AE, the percentage of subjects who experience at least 1
occurrence of the given event will be summarized by treatment group.
Phase allocation of AE
Adverse events present in the SDTM database are allocated to phases based on their start date. If
the start date of an event falls between (or on) the start and stop date of a phase, the AE is
attributed to that phase (emergent principle).
Incomplete dates (i.e. time and/or day and/or month and/or year missing):

In case of partial start or stop dates, the events are allocated to the phases using the available
partial information on start and end date; no imputation will be done. If, for instance, for the
AE start date only month and year are available, these data are compared to the month and
year information of the phases. This rule may lead to multiplication of the event as a
consequence of its assignment to multiple phases.

In case of a completely missing start date, the event is allocated to the first active treatment
phase, except if the end date of the AE falls before the start of the first active treatment
phase.

In case of a completely missing end date, the following decision rules apply:
-
in case the date is identified as unknown the date will remain missing; 
-
in case the date is not flagged as unknown the date is imputed by the cut-off date of 
the analysis for subjects still ongoing in the study, and by the end date of the last 
phase for subjects who discontinue.

Treatment phase: start date: 29JAN2017 - stop date: 12AUG2017
1) Adverse event: start date: JAN2017- stop date: 15JUL2017
As the start date only has information about month and year, only this information will be
used from the phases and therefore the AE will be assigned to the screening phase as well as 
to the treatment phase.
2) Adverse event: start date: JAN2017- stop date 27JAN2017 As the AE stops before or at the 
start of the treatment phase, it is only assigned to the Screening phase.
Remarks:
In addition to the date information, time information is taken into account to allocate AEs to
phases.

Clinical Laboratory Tests
Laboratory parameters of hematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis will be investigated: All 
analyses will be done on SI-converted values as available in the database.
6.2.1.
Definitions
Unifying multiple laboratory values by standardization:
Since local labs are used, the SI-converted values will be harmonized for selected parameters
using the following formula and using the phantom laboratory generalized lab norms (GLN) as 
proposed by Francis Ruvuna, David Flores et al.[4]
y = (x − Li) * 
Ucs – Lcs
+ Lcs
Ui – Li
Where
y 
=
the transformed individual analyte value to a common standard laboratory 
reference range;
x 
=
the original value;
Li and Ui
=
lower and upper limits of normal for individual laboratory analyte;
Lcs and Ucs =
lower and upper limit for the selected common standard laboratory or phantom 
laboratory GLN
The following additional rule applies for standard normal ranges with zero as lower limit and 
local normal ranges with non-zero lower limit. Zero will be used as lower local limit in the 
formula if the previous mentioned requirement was met.
The harmonized values, with the phantom laboratory GLN, will be used during the analysis.
Toxicity grades and abnormalities for laboratory parameters:
Toxicity grades will be computed according to the DMID adult toxicity grading list (see 
attachment at the end of this document) based on the harmonized values, for the parameters with 
harmonized values. In case different grades are available for fasted/non fasted results, the results 
are assumed to be taken in the condition as specified in the protocol (i.e. not necessarily
according to possible remarks indicating a deviation to this). If no condition is specified in the 
protocol, the non-fasting gradings should be used.
In case no toxicity grades are defined for any laboratory test, then non-graded abnormalities 
(high/low vs. normal range) will be used instead.
The worst grade over the whole observational period (treatment phase, follow-up phase and 
combination of treatment and follow-up) will be determined.

Emergent definition for toxicity grades and abnormalities
An abnormality (toxicity grade or abnormality based on normal ranges) will be considered 
emergent in a particular phase if it is worse than the baseline value. If the baseline is missing, the 
abnormality is always considered as emergent. A shift from “abnormally low” at baseline to 
“abnormally high” post baseline (or vice versa) is also emergent. The emergent definition is 
applicable in both, the treatment and follow-up phase. 
In case of missing date or time parts
Laboratory records with missing assessment date- or time-parts (any: day, month or year) will 
not be used in descriptive statistics, unless the scheduled target day or time is known and a 
unique phase allocation is possible taking this additional information into account. These 
assessments will be allocated to the correct phase using the available date (time) information, 
and the information on their assessment schedule. In case it is not possible to assign a unique 
phase (e.g. unscheduled time points), the assessment will be assigned to all possible active 
phases based on the available date and time information. These cases will be flagged in the 
respective listings.
Imputations of numerical values expressed as characters
In case a laboratory test result is censored (no numeric value is available, but only a verbatim 
term), the following rules are applied: 
● ‘<x’ or ‘>x’: a numeric value will be imputed by a value exceeding the cut-off value with 
one unit 
● ‘≤x’ or ‘≤x’: imputation by x. 
This also applies to normal limits expressed as such.
No such imputations will be done for urinalysis parameters as these are usually 
character/categorical expressions.
Missing normal limits
Missing normal limits in the data base will be imputed at analysis level using the values specified 
and approved by the sponsor. This only applies if the missing normal limit is critical to 
determine a toxicity grade or an abnormality score, i.e. not for tests whose toxicity grade is based 
on the test value itself. Imputations, if applicable, will be flagged as applicable if shown in 
listings.

Vital Signs
Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and oxygen 
saturation (SpO2) will be investigated. 
6.3.1.
Definitions
The vital signs abnormalities will be defined as indicated in Attachment 2. In determining the 
abnormalities, the following rules are applied:

worst grades/abnormalities are determined over the whole observational period for each 
trial phase separately, including post-baseline scheduled and unscheduled measurements 
of that phase.

The abnormalities ‘abnormally low’ and ‘abnormally high’/grades are considered
equally important, i.e. if a subject has as well an abnormally low as an abnormally high 
or graded value post-baseline, both abnormalities are shown in the tables. (This means 
that the sum of the percentages can be more than 100%)
An abnormality will be considered emergent in a particular phase if it is worse than baseline. If 
baseline is missing, the abnormality is always considered as emergent. A shift from ‘abnormally 
low’ at baseline to ‘abnormally high’ post baseline (or vice versa) is also emergent.
Note: As described in section 2.1, for vital signs, means per analysis timepoint window will be 
calculated in order to have 1 assessment per analysis timepoint. These mean values per analysis 
timepoint will be used in the descriptive analyses over time. Abnormalities, to be used in the 
determination of the worst abnormality per phase, will not be determined on these mean values, 
but on the original records, including both scheduled and unscheduled assessments.

Viral Strain Typing
The RSV subtype is determined at baseline using the RSV-A/B qRT-PCR assay performed at the 
central lab.
7.2.
Viral Sequencing
Viral resistance will be evaluated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the RSV polymerase 
L-gene Baseline samples from all subjects will be sequenced to identify pre-existing 
polymorphisms in their L gene. Post-baseline sequencing will be performed on the last evaluable 
on-treatment sample for all subjects to identify emerging amino acid substitutions in the L gene.
Additional post-baseline sequencing can be performed on request of the sponsor virologist. 
Further validation of the RSV L-gene next generation sequencing assay is currently ongoing to 
determine the read frequency cut-off that will be used in the analyses. 
7.2.1.
Definitions
Virology results will be assigned to the visit windows as described in section 2.1 Visit Windows 
and Phase Definition. In addition to the time points corresponding to the visits at which samples 
for RSV L-gene sequencing are collected, the below time points will be considered: 

Baseline (BL): Time point with sequencing data available closest and prior to the first 
dose (ie the loading dose). 

Sequence at End of Treatment (EOTSTPT): Last available post-baseline time point 
during the treatment phase with sequencing data available

Sequence at End of Study (EOSSTPT): Last available post-baseline time point in the 
study with sequencing data available

Entire post-baseline phase: Aggregate of all available post-baseline time points in the 
study with sequencing data available
Genetic variations are defined as changes (on amino acid or nucleotide level) in the subject’s 
virus’s sequence compared to a reference sequence. Genetic variations can include substitutions, 
insertions and deletions. The reference sequences used will be RSV-A Long strain (GenBank 
Accession number AY911262) for RSV-A samples and RSV-B strain 9320 (GenBank Accession 
number AY353550) for RSV-B samples. Genetic variations will be reported on amino acid 
level.

Baseline polymorphism: amino acid difference from the RSV-A or RSV-B reference 
strain detected at baseline above a certain read frequency cut-off.

Emerging genetic variation: a genetic variation (amino acid substitution, insertion or 
deletion) that is absent (ie below the NGS read frequency cut-off) at baseline but present
above a certain read frequency cut-off at a later post-baseline time point.


Enriched genetic variation: a genetic variation (amino acid substitution, insertion or

in read frequency compared to baseline.

Genetic variation profile: a specific genetic variation or combination of genetic 
variations at one or more time points

RSV L-gene amino acid positions of interest: The 4 L-gene positions of interest are 
628, 789, 795 and 796 (based on in vitro selection experiments with Lumicitabine)
The read frequency cut-off that will be used for reporting RSV L-gene NGS data, as well as the 
read frequency cut-offs used in the definitions of baseline polymorphisms, emerging and 
enriched genetic variations are not yet defined but will be prior to the start of the analyses.
7.3.
Analysis Methods
Baseline
The prevalence of baseline polymorphisms in the RSV L-gene, ie the number of subjects with 
baseline polymorphisms in the RSV L-gene, will be tabulated in frequency tabulation (n, %) by 
analysis time point and for the entire post-baseline phase. Amino acid changes from reference 
sequence at baseline will be listed for all subjects using the read frequency cut-off of the RSV L-
gene NGS assay. Additionally frequency tabulations per time point and for the entire post-
baseline phase will be made selecting only those baseline polymorphisms above a certain read 
frequency. 
Similar tabulations will be made for the baseline polymorphisms on the positions of interest.
Post-baseline
Emerging and enriched genetic variations will be tabulated by analysis time point and for the 
entire post-baseline phase in frequency tabulations (n, %). Amino acid changes from reference
sequence will be listed for all subjects with post-baseline sequencing data using the read 
frequency cut-off of the RSV L-gene NGS assay. Additionally frequency tabulations per time 
point and for the entire post-baseline phase will be made selecting only those emerging and 
enriched genetic variations above a certain read frequency. 
Similar tabulations will be made for the emerging and enriched genetic variations on the 
positions of interest.
