About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Phase 2a, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Prophylactic Efficacy of MV-012-968 Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection in the Virus Challenge Model.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether the investigational, live attenuated, intranasally delivered vaccine MV-012-968 ('study vaccine') may have prophylactic efficacy against symptomatic RSV infection when administered to adults 18-45 years of age in the Human Viral Challenge model.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frequency of symptomatic RSV infection, as defined as the occurrence of both:

    • At least 1 quantifiable plaque assay sample in nasal wash specimens and
    • Symptoms meeting either: (i) a symptom of any grade from 2 different symptom categories from the participant Symptom Diary Card [SDC] (Upper Respiratory, Lower Respiratory, Systemic) or (ii) at least 1 Grade 2 upper or lower respiratory symptom from the participant SDC

    Measured: 10 days (days 2 to 12)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Frequency of symptomatic RSV infection, as defined as occurrence of both:

    • Two Quantifiable RT-qPCR samples on 2 consecutive days (i.e. at least 1 on each of 2 consecutive days) in nasal wash specimens and
    • Symptoms meeting either: (i) a symptom of any grade from 2 different symptom categories from the SDC (Upper Respiratory, Lower Respiratory, Systemic) or (ii) at least 1 Grade 2 upper or lower respiratory symptom from the participant SDC

    Measured: 10 days (days 2 to 12)

  2. Frequency of RSV infection, as defined as the occurrence of 2 quantifiable RT-qPCR samples on 2 consecutive days (i.e. at least 1 on each of 2 consecutive days) in nasal wash specimens

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  3. Frequency of RSV infection, as defined as the occurrence of at least 1 quantifiable plaque assay sample in nasal wash specimens

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  4. Mean daily total symptom score using the SDC

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  5. Mean daily weight of nasal (mucus) discharge

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  6. RSV load Area Under the Curve (AUC), as measured by RT-qPCR analysis of nasal wash specimens

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  7. Peak RSV load, as measured by RT-qPCR of nasal wash specimens

    Measured: 10 days (Day 2 to 12)

  8. Frequency of solicited adverse events (AEs) as reported in the Subject Vaccination Diary Card, categorized by severity. Solicited AEs are predefined AEs that may occur after study vaccine administration.

    Measured: Time Frame: 7 days (Day -28 to -21)

  9. Frequency of unsolicited AEs after study vaccination, categorized by severity and by study vaccine relatedness.

    Unsolicited AEs are any untoward medical occurrences in a participant administered the study vaccine, regardless of causal relationship to the study vaccine. Unsolicited AEs can include unfavorable and unintended signs (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptoms, or diseases temporally associated with the use of the study vaccine.

    Measured: 28 days (Day -28 to 0)

  10. Frequency of unsolicited AEs after RSV-A challenge, categorized by severity and by study vaccine relatedness.

    Measured: 29 days (Day 0 to 28)

  11. Frequency of serious AEs (SAEs) after study vaccination, categorized by study vaccine relatedness.

    SAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the study vaccine or not, that threaten life or result in any of the following: death, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: 180 days (Day -28 to 152)

  12. Frequency of medically attended AEs (MAEs) after study vaccination, categorized by study vaccine relatedness.

    MAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the study vaccine or not, with unscheduled medically attended visits, such as urgent care visits, acute primary care visits, emergency department visits, or other previously unplanned visits to a medical provider. Scheduled medical visits such as routine physicals, wellness checks, 'checkups', and vaccinations, are not considered MAEs

    Measured: 180 days (Day -28 to 152)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MV-012-968 in people with RSV Infection, run by Meissa Vaccines, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of symptomatic RSV infection, as defined as the occurrence of both: (time frame: 10 days (days 2 to 12)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Aug 2022.
