About

The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of the RSV/Flu-01E vaccine for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infection in volunteers aged18 to 59 years and over 60 years.

Full description

Study includes 60 participants in three cohorts. First cohort includes 15 volunteers aged 18 to 59, randomized at 2:1 ratio, to receive low dose RSV/Flu-01E vaccine or placebo, correspondingly. Second cohort includes 15 volunteers aged 18 to 59, randomized at 2:1 ratio, to receive high dose RSV/Flu-01E vaccine or placebo, correspondingly. Third cohort includes 30 participants aged 60 years and older, randomized at 2:1 ratio to receive high dose RSV/Flu-01E vaccine or placebo. Duration of the study for each participant is about 6 months (no more than 190 days).
