About this study

Official title: Phase II, Randomized, Observer-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study of a Live Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine to Assess the Vaccine Virus' Transmissibility in Household or Daycare Center Settings, Shedding, and Genetic Stability, and to Describe the Immunogenicity and Safety of the Vaccine in Infants and Toddlers 6 to < 24 Months of Age in Puerto Rico (USA)

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the shedding, transmission, and genetic stability of the live-attenuated RSVt vaccine after each intranasal vaccination (56 days apart) in infants and toddlers 6 to < 24 months of age.

Read the detailed description

The duration of each participant's participation is up to 8 months, including the 6 months safety follow-up phone call after the second study intervention administration for the pediatric participants The treatment administration for the pediatric participants will be on D01 and D57 (1 intranasal administration each).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Placebo Receiving Pediatric Participants With Vaccine Virus Detected in Nasal Swabs After the First Vaccination

    Nasal swabs were collected to assess the presence of vaccine virus after first vaccination. Vaccine virus transmission was defined as presence of detected vaccine virus confirmed by RSVt quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay (vaccine virus shedding >=lower limit of detection [LOD=2.80 log10 copies/mL]) in pediatric participants receiving placebo. Percentages are rounded off to the tenth decimal place.

    Measured: Pre-vaccination on Day 1 and post-vaccination on Days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18 and 22

  2. Titer of Vaccine Virus Shedding in All Pediatric Participants Detected in Nasal Swabs

    Nasal swabs were collected to assess the shedding of the attenuated RSV vaccine strain and quantified by RSVt qRT PCR assay. Quantified virus shedding was defined as vaccine virus shedding >=lower limit of quantification (LLOQ=3.37 log10 copies/mL).

    Measured: Pre-vaccination on Day 1 and post-vaccination on Days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, 64 and 71

  3. Percentage of Placebo Receiving Pediatric Participants With Detected Shedding Who Showed Any Genetic Sequence Variation After Each Vaccination

    Nasal swabs were collected to identify the difference in genetic sequence of mutated vaccine virus segments compared to the reference strain vaccine virus isolates in the vaccine virus positive swabs from pediatric participants receiving placebo after each vaccination. Detected virus shedding was defined as vaccine virus shedding >=LOD (2.80 log10 copies/mL).

    Measured: Up to 21 days after each vaccination (Day 1 to Day 22 and Day 57 to Day 78)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of RSV A Serum Neutralizing Antibody (nAb) Titers

    Serum samples were collected at specified timepoints for immunogenicity assessments. RSV A serum neutralizing antibody titers were evaluated by microneutralization (MN) assay.

    Measured: Pre-vaccination on Day 1 (first vaccination) and Day 57 (second vaccination) and up to 28 days after second vaccination, Day 85

  2. Secondary: Geometric Mean Titers of RSV Serum Anti-F Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Enzyme-linked Immuno-adsorbant Assay (ELISA) Antibody

    Serum samples were collected at specified timepoints for immunogenicity assessments. Antibodies to RSV F antigen were measured using the anti RSV F IgG ELISA method.

    Measured: Pre-vaccination on Day 1 (first vaccination) and Day 57 (second vaccination) and up to 28 days after second vaccination, Day 85

  3. Number of Participants With Immediate Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the study vaccine. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, i.e., pre-listed in the case report form (CRF) in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination. All participants were observed for 30 minutes after each vaccination and any unsolicited AEs that occurred during that time were recorded as immediate unsolicited AEs.

    Measured: Up to 30 minutes after each vaccination (Days 1 and 57)

  4. Number of Participants With Solicited Administration Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions

    A solicited reaction was an expected adverse reaction (AR) (sign or symptom) observed and reported under the conditions (nature and onset) pre-listed in the protocol and CRF and considered as related to the study vaccine administered. An administration site reaction was an AR at and around the administration/injection site and were commonly inflammatory reactions. Solicited systemic reactions were systemic AEs and those occurring during the specified collection period were always considered related to the vaccine even if there was evidence of alternative etiology.

    Measured: Up to 21 days after each vaccination (Day 1 to Day 22 and Day 57 to Day 78)

  5. Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of study vaccine, whether or not considered related to the study vaccine. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, that is, pre-listed in the CRF in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after each vaccination (Day 1 to Day 29 and Day 57 to Day 85)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing RSVt Vaccine in people with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 25 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 26 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Puerto Rico, 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. 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 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 26 Jan 2026). 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?

Percentage of Placebo Receiving Pediatric Participants With Vaccine Virus Detected in Nasal Swabs After the First Vaccination (time frame: Pre-vaccination on Day 1 and post-vaccination on Days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18 and 22). The study lists 3 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 26 Jan 2026.
