About this study

Official title: Phase III Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-controlled Trial Assessing the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Recombinant RSV Vaccine (CHO Cell) in Adults Aged ≥60 Years

This is a phase III clinical trial with a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled design to evaluate the protective efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of the recombinant respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (CHO cell) in individuals aged 60 and above.

Sample Size and Trial Grouping: This trial plans to enroll 25,000 trial participants aged ≥60 years (with approximately 30% aged 70 and above), with a relatively balanced gender distribution. Participants of each age group (60-69 years old, ≥70 years old) will be randomly assigned to the trial group and the placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. The sample size for the immunogenicity subgroup is not calculated based on statistical power. Referring to similar clinical trials of RSV vaccines and in conjunction with the immunogenicity observation objectives of this trial, the first 300 trial participants (including those from both age groups) from each site under the leading institution will be included in the immunogenicity subgroup, for a total of 1,200 participants.

Read the detailed description

A total of 25000 adults aged 60 years and above will be enrolled, stratified into 60-69 and ≥70 years of age. All Participants will randomly receive investigational vaccine or placebo at a ratio of 1:1. Efficacy and safety will be assessed in all Participants, while immunogenicity will be assessed in a subset of 1200 Participants in a selected trial site.

Being tested
Recombinant respiratory syncytial virus vaccine (CHO cell), Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9%

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Recombinant respiratory syncytial virus vaccine (CHO cell)Biological

    Test vaccine BW-201 (Adj 1): After mixing the "recombinant respiratory syncytial virus vaccine adjuvant injection" upside down, fully aspirate and inject it into the "RSV vaccine" lyophilized powder for re-dissolution. Slowly rotate the vial to mix, and use it after complete dissolution.

    After mixing the antigen and adjuvant, store them in a refrigerator at 2°C-8°C in the dark and use them within 4 hours. Before use, they need to be mixed again. If the mixture of antigen and adjuvant is left at room temperature (not exceeding 25°C), it needs to be used within 30 minutes.

    After mixing 1 bottle of adjuvant solution according to the above steps, aspirate the entire content and add it to the antigen, followed by mixing. Each person should receive 0.5mL per injection, administered intramuscularly into the deltoid muscle on the lateral side of the upper arm. Intravenous injection is strictly prohibited.

  • Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9%Biological

    Also called normal saline

    The placebo is a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Each person is to receive 0.5mL for intramuscular injection, with the injection site being the deltoid muscle on the lateral side of the upper arm. Intravenous injection is strictly prohibited. The remaining 0.9% sodium chloride solution (approximately 9.5mL) should be disposed of as waste.

Model description
Sample size considerations: Given that a comprehensive and functional infection surveillance network for RSV has not yet been established domestically, the incidence rate of LRTD caused by RSV infection in this trial is unpredictable. This trial reviewed randomized controlled trials of commercially available RSV vaccines abroad, where the incidence rate in the placebo group ranged from 0.35% to 0.8%. Based on the estimated incidence rate of RSV-LRTD in similar clinical trials, this trial assumes an incidence rate of approximately 0.35% during the first epidemic season. It is expected that the vaccine will achieve a protective efficacy of 70% 14 days after one dose of the trial vaccine in individuals aged 60 and above. The ratio of the test group to the control group is 1:1, and the total type I error rate is set at one-sided α=0.025. An interim analysis will be considered when at least two-thirds of the primary efficacy endpoint cases of RSV-LRTD are observed during the first epidemic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant respiratory syncytial virus vaccine (CHO cell) and Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9% in people with Assessing the Effectiveness of Vaccines in Preventing Adult RSV-caused Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD), run by Beijing BeneWill Technology Development Co., Ltd at 7 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Zhao Gao, Master of Medicine (+86 177 9691 5780, gaozhao123000@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The first-time incidence rate per person-year of Lower Respiratory Tract Disease (LRTD). (time frame: From 14 days after vaccination until the end of S1, the evaluation period can last up to 12 months.). 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 6 Oct 2026.
