A Study of BLB-201 RSV Vaccine in Infants and Children

December 9, 2025 updated by: Blue Lake Biotechnology Inc.

A Phase 1/2a Trial of the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of PIV5-vectored RSV Vaccine (BLB-201) in RSV Seronegative and Seropositive Infants and Children

This Phase 1/2a trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of two ascending doses (10^6 PFU and 10^7 PFU) of intranasal BLB-201 (a recombinant parainfluenza virus type 5) administered in infants (8-24 months of age) and children (18-59 months of age) who may or may not have had prior respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Detailed Description

This trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of BLB-201 vaccine in infants (8-24 months of age) and children (18-59 months of age) who may or may not have had prior respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. One (Day 1) or two doses (Day 1 and Day 57) of low (10^6 PFU) and high dosage (10^7 PFU) of BLB-201 will be evaluated.
