About

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two dose levels of the single dose Recombinant RSV vaccine(CHO cells), when administered intramuscularly (IM) in healthy adults aged 18 years and older.

Full description

A total of 522 subjects in the phase 1/2 study will be enrolled. The study will be conducted in 2 parts (phase 1 for dose escalation and phase 2 for expansion), with first evaluation of safety of 2 two dose levels of Recombinant RSV vaccine(CHO cells) in healthy participants aged 18-59 and ≥60 in phase 1 before preceding with vaccination of the participants aged 50-59 and ≥60 in phase 2. To ensure the safety of the study participants, phase 1 will follow a staggered enrolment with 3 steps. All subjects in each age group in phase 1 will be randomly receive the investigational vaccine(half or full dose) and the placebo in a 2:1 ratio, while all subjects in each age group in phase 2 will be randomly receive the half dose vaccine, the full dose vaccine and the placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Enrollment: 522 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

15. Previous vaccination with an RSV vaccine;
16. Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs(e.g. Infliximab) or planned administration at any time during the study period;
17. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the period starting 3 months before vaccination or planned administration during the study period;
18. Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs (such as long-term use of systemic glucocorticoid ≥14 days, ≥20mg/day prednisone or equivalent dose) during the period starting 3 months before vaccination or planned administration during the study period, but topical steroids(e.g. ointment, eye drops, inhalants, nasal sprays) that do not exceed the dosage recommended in the instructions or have any systemic signs are acceptable;
