About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 1/2a Study for Safety and Immunogenicity Evaluations of Various RSV.preF-based Vaccine Formulations in Adults Aged 60 Years and Older

The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of various respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pre-Fusion (preF)-based vaccine components followed by expanded safety evaluation and durability/revaccination evaluation of the selected RSV preF-based vaccine formulation in participants aged greater than or equal to (>=) 60 years in stable health.

Read the detailed description

RSV is an important cause of serious respiratory infections in adults aged 60 years and older. The current study is divided into four cohorts, evaluating various doses and combinations of RSV preF-based vaccines. Cohort 1 will assess the safety and reactogenicity of different RSV preF-based vaccines. Cohort 2 is an expansion of cohort 1 and will assess both safety and immunogenicity of these different RSV vaccines. based on C1 and 2 data the optimal vaccine composition will be selected and further evaluated in Cohort 3 and 4 including durability and revaccination. Cohort 3 will accumulate safety data on the selected vaccine and optimize its formulation. Cohort 4 is an expansion of several arms in cohort 3, aimed to understand the durability of the immune response induced by the selected vaccine, and to explore the possibility for revaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product or medically important.

    Measured: From Day 1 up to 6 months post vaccination (up to Day 183)

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    Number of participants with AESIs were reported. Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were considered as potential AESIs.

    Measured: From Day 1 up to 6 months post vaccination (up to Day 183)

  3. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with solicited local and systemic AEs were reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited local AEs that included injection site pain/tenderness, erythema and swelling at the study vaccine injection site, are used to assess the reactogenicity of the study vaccine and are pre-defined local (injection site). Solicited systemic events included events such as fatigue, headache, nausea, and myalgia, for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their participant diary for 7 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days).

    Measured: 7 days post vaccination (Day 8)

  4. Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with unsolicited AEs were reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Unsolicited AEs are all AEs for which the participant were not specifically questioned in the participant diary.

    Measured: 28 days post vaccination (Day 29)

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing RSV preF-based Vaccine in people with Respiratory Syncytial Virus-associated Lower Respiratory Tract Disease Prevention, run by Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V. at 11 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: From Day 1 up to 6 months post vaccination (up to Day 183)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 May 2025.
