This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind multi-center, placebo-controlled trial in Japan to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of HIL-214 in healthy infants 5 months of age (-14/+14 days) at first trial vaccine administration. In this protocol, because the trial is blinded, trial vaccine refers to both the investigational vaccine (HIL-214) and placebo.
The rationale for trial NOR-109 is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of HIL-214 in Japanese pediatric subjects and establish whether the data obtained is consistent with that previously obtained for non-Japanese pediatric subjects. The clinical trials for HIL-214 have so far been performed in Europe, the United States and several countries in Latin America \[26\]. The incidence rate of norovirus-attributable disease in Japan is at least as high as in other developed countries with the highest rates occurring in children below the age of 5 years and hospitalization most common in very young and very old populations. The inclusion of infants (5 months \[±14 days\] of age at the time of first trial vaccine administration) serves to compare the data obtained for infants of non-Japanese descent with Japanese infants, in alignment with the global clinical program, and to support the inclusion of Japanese infants into phase 3. Enrollment and vaccination of the infants will be performed either before or after the required routine childhood vaccines per the national immunization schedule. This phase 1 trial in Japan aims to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of HIL-214 administered 4 to 8 weeks apart, in 21 healthy infants aged 5 months at the time of the first trial vaccine dose administration. A placebo arm is included to allow an unbiased assessment of safety and immunogenicity.

Safety of HIL-214 Compared to Placebo - AEs Leading to Trial Withdrawal
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Trial Withdrawal
Time frame: Day 1 to 6 months post-dose 2
Safety of HIL-214 Compared to Placebo - Solicited Local Adverse Events
Percentage of Participants with Solicited Local (Injection Site) Adverse Events (AEs) Within 7 Days of Vaccine Administration (any dose). Assessed AEs included pain, erythema, induration, and swelling.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 post-dose 1 and Day 1 to Day 7 post-dose 2 (Day 36 to Day 56)
Safety of HIL-214 Compared to Placebo - Solicited Systemic Adverse Events
Percentage of Participants with Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) Within 7 Days of Vaccine Administration. Assessed AEs included drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 post-dose 1 and Day 1 to Day 7 post-dose 2 (Day 36 to Day 56)
Safety of HIL-214 Compared to Placebo - Percentage of Participants With AEs Leading to Vaccine Withdrawal
Percentage of participants with AEs that lead to withdrawal of trial vaccine up to the planned time of second dose administration.
Time frame: Up to 56 days post-dose 1
Immunogenicity of HIL-214 Compared to Placebo.
The percentage of participants with a predefined seroresponse (≥4-fold rise in antibody concentration) at Visit 2, Visit 3, and/or Visit 4 to the GI.1 and GII.4c components of HIL-214 and 95% confidence interval are reported. HBGA-blocking and pan-Ig assays were used for immunogenicity analyses.
Time frame: Day 1 to 6 months post-dose 2
