Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Each participant must sign an Informed Consent Form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study, is willing to participate in the study and attend all scheduled visits, is willing to be isolated and stay in the clinic for the quarantine phase, and is willing and able to comply with all study procedures and adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol
  • Participants must be in good health, without significant medical illness, on the basis of a medical evaluation that reveals the absence of any clinically relevant abnormality and includes a physical examination (including height and weight), skin examination, medical history, vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature), and the results of clinical laboratory tests performed within 56 days of vaccination. If there are abnormalities, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator
  • Participants must have a non-clinically significant 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) within 56 days of vaccination including: normal sinus rhythm (heart rate between 50 and 100 beats per minute [bpm], extremes included); QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia (QTcF) interval less than or equal to (<=) 450 millisecond (ms); QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Bazett (QTcB) interval <= 450 ms; QRS interval less than (<) 120 ms; PR interval <= 210 ms

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Viral Load-Time Curve (VL-AUC) of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) by Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR)
Time Frame: From Day 2 to Day 12

Day 6 (0 hour and 12 hours) and Day 7 (0 hour and 12 hours)
Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic RSV Infections
Time Frame: From Day 2 to Day 12
Symptomatic RSV infection is defined in two ways (Conservative and Liberal). Conservative: participant had 2 or more quantifiable RT-PCR measurements on different samples, with one of following: symptoms of 2 different categories of subject symptom card (SSC) (Upper Respiratory [runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, earache], Lower Respiratory [cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheeze], Systemic [malaise, headache, muscle and/or joint ache]) regardless of grade and assessment timepoint or Grade 2 symptom from any category; Liberal (RT-PCR): had 2/more quantifiable RT-PCR measurements, with clinical symptom of any severity.
From Day 2 to Day 12
Total Clinical Symptoms Score at Day 6 and 7
Time Frame: Day 6 and 7: morning, afternoon and evening
The total clinical symptom score was determined as the sum of the scores (grades) ranges from 0 (no symptom) to 52 (severe symptoms) of the 13 self-reportable symptoms on the SSC. Clinical symptoms includes runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, ear ache, malaise, headache, muscle and/or joint ache, chilliness/ feverishness, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheeze. For every separate symptom, the score ranges from 0 (I have no symptom) to 4 (its quite bothersome most of the times and stop from participating in activities).
Day 6 and 7: morning, afternoon and evening
Weight of Mucus Secretions Over Time
Time Frame: Day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
The weight mucous over time was determined in grams using eCRF forms. Participants were given pre-weighed packets of paper tissues. After each tissue was used for nose blowing or sneezing, the participants should store them in an airtight plastic bag to calculate the weight of mucus from Day 0 to Day 12. All paper tissues used by each participant were collected for each 24-hour period up to Day 12, to determine daily mucus weight.
Day 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
