Intranasal Challenge of Healthy Adults With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

A Phase 1 Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MEDI-557 in Healthy Adults Intranasally Challenged With Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

The primary objective is to evaluate the suitability of the challenge model in measuring the efficacy of MEDI-557 compared to placebo in healthy adult participants for the reduction in the incidence of RSV through 12 days post-RSV challenge with the RSV Memphis-37 strain.

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: RSV Infection
