August 30, 2018 updated by: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Phase I Placebo-Controlled Study of the Infectivity, Safety and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of a Recombinant Live-attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine, D46/NS2/N/ΔM2-2-HindIII, Lot RSV#011B, Delivered as Nose Drops to RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 24 Months of Age

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, infectivity, and immunogenicity of a single dose of a recombinant live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine in RSV-seronegative infants and children 6 to 24 months of age.

This study is a companion study to IMPAACT 2013.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common viral cause of serious acute lower respiratory illness (LRI) in infants and children under 5 years of age worldwide. This study will evaluate whether D46/NS2/N/ΔM2-2-HindIII vaccine is attenuated and immunogenic in children 6 to 24 months of age.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a single dose of the RSV D46/NS2/N/ΔM2-2-HindIII vaccine or placebo at study entry (Day 0).

Participants will be enrolled in the study between April 1 and October 31 (outside of RSV season) and will remain on study until they complete the post-RSV season visit between April 1 and April 30 in the calendar year following enrollment. Participants' total study duration will be between 6 and 13 months, depending on when they enroll in the study. Participants will be evaluated in study visits that may include physical examinations, blood collection, and nasal washes. Additionally, participants' parents or guardians will be contacted by study staff at various times during the study to monitor participants' health.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
