About
This study is a Phase III, parallel group, randomized, observer blind, placebo controlled, multi-national, multi-center, multi-arm study to be conducted in 947 healthy children enrolled at 6 months to <22 months of age. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of the immune response of the lower dose (LD) when compared to the standard dose (SD) respiratory syncytial virus infant and toddler (RSVt) vaccine and the safety of the LD, SD and high dose (HD) vaccine in preterm born children and of the HD vaccine in full term born children administered by intranasal route and compared to placebo.
Full description
The study duration is approximately 8 months for each participant, including the 6 months safety follow-up phone call after the second study intervention administration.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: -Aged 6 months to < 22 months on the day of inclusion (means from the day of the 6-month birthday to the day before the 22-month birthday. The second vaccine administration should be administered before the study participant has turned 24 months of age).
- Participants who are healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history.
- For Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 (contingent upon satisfactory safety profile of the RSVt vaccine in Cohort 1):
- Participant born 28 through 36 weeks of gestation and medically stable as assessed by the investigator, based on the following definition: "Medically stable" refers to the condition of premature infants who do not require significant medical support or ongoing management for debilitating disease and who have demonstrated a clinical course of sustained recovery by the time they receive the first dose of study intervention.
- For Cohort 2:
- Participant born at full term of pregnancy (≥ 37 weeks of gestation). Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months).
- Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study intervention used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances.
Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion.
-
History of medically diagnosed wheezing. Children with a history of recurrent wheezing will be excluded. Children with a previous single episode of wheezing may be included if that episode of wheezing was not associated with hospitalization or if does not have a family history of wheezing.
-
Any acute febrile illness in the past 48 hours that according to investigator judgment is significant enough to interfere with successful inoculation on the day of vaccination. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided.
-
Probable or confirmed ongoing case of viral respiratory infection (including COVID-19, influenza, rhinovirus, etc.) at the time of enrollment. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the respiratory infection has resolved.
-
Member of a household that contains an immunocompromised individual, including, but not limited to:
- a person who is HIV infected
- a person who has received chemotherapy within the 12 months prior to study enrollment
- a person who has received (within the past 6 months) or is receiving (at the time of enrollment) immunosuppressant agents
- a person living with a solid organ or bone marrow transplant
-
Potential close contact with other immunocompromised individual within 30 days after each vaccination as per investigator's discretion.
-
Participant's biological mother's previous receipt or planned administration of an investigational RSV vaccine during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.
-
Receipt or planned receipt of any of the following vaccines prior to enrollment or after the first study intervention administration:
- Any other intranasal live attenuated vaccine within the 28 days prior to and after Dose 1 study administration
- Unless given on the day of the first study intervention administration, any other injectable live attenuated vaccines within the 28 days prior to and after. Concomitant receipt on the day of the first study intervention administration is allowed
-
Planned receipt of any monoclonal antibody for RSV (such as Nirsevimab or Palivizumab) for the duration of the study.
-
Previous receipt of an investigational RSV vaccine or receiving any anti-RSV product (such as ribavirin or RSV immune globulin) at the time of enrollment. Previous receipt of an RSV monoclonal antibody within 6 months prior to the first study vaccine administration.
-
Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
-
Receipt of intranasal and intra-ocular medications within 3 days prior to study enrollment
-
Participation at the time of study enrollment or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure
