Safety and Immune Response to a Live-Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine in RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

In brief

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of illness in infants and children around the world. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an RSV vaccine in RSV-seronegative infants and children. This study is a companion study to CIR 291.

Who can join

Age: 1 and older, up to 2. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Participant is at least 6 months (defined as at least 180 days) of age at the time of screening and less than 25 months (defined as less than 750 days) of age
• Participant is in good health based on review of the medical record, history, and physical examination, without evidence of chronic disease. Note: any questions regarding interpretation of this criterion should be forwarded to the team.
• Parents/guardians demonstrate their understanding of the study, sign the informed consent, and agree to administration of study product following a detailed explanation of the study
• Seronegative for RSV antibody, defined as a serum RSV-neutralizing antibody titer less than 1:40 at screening obtained no more than 42 days prior to scheduled inoculation
• Has a current height and weight above the 5th percentile for age
• Participant has received routine immunizations appropriate for age. Prior vaccines were administered at least:
• 2 weeks prior to enrollment for inactivated and subunit vaccines and rotavirus vaccine, and
• 4 weeks prior to enrollment for all other live vaccines.
• Participant is expected to be available for the duration of the study
• If born to an HIV-infected woman, participant must be non-breastfeeding with documentation of two negative HIV nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) tests with both collected when at least 1 month of age and at least one collected when at least 4 months of age, and no positive HIV nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) test; or two negative HIV antibody tests, both collected at less than or equal to 6 months of age

You may not qualify if…

• Known or suspected HIV infection or impairment of immunological functions
• Receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, including any systemic corticosteroids within 30 days of enrollment. Note: Cutaneous (topical) steroid treatment is not an exclusion.
• Bone marrow/solid organ transplant recipient
• Major congenital malformations (such as congenital cleft palate) or cytogenetic abnormalities
• Previous receipt of a licensed or investigational RSV vaccine (or placebo) or previous receipt of or planned administration of any anti-RSV product (such as ribavirin or RSV IG)
• Previous vaccine-associated anaphylactic or other severe adverse vaccine reaction
• Known hypersensitivity to any study product component
• Heart disease. Note: Participants with cardiac abnormalities documented to be clinically insignificant and requiring no treatment may be enrolled.
• Lung disease, including any history of wheezing or reactive airway disease
• Member of a household that contains, or will contain, an infant who is less than 6 months of age at the enrollment date through Day 28
• Member of a household that contains another child who is, or is scheduled to be, enrolled in IMPAACT 2000, and there has been or will be an overlap in residency during that other child's participation in the study's Acute Phase (Days 0 to 28)
• Member of a household that contains an immunocompromised individual, including, but not limited to:
• a person who is greater than or equal to 5 years of age with HIV-related immunodeficiency, defined as having a most recent CD4 T lymphocyte cell count less than 300/mcL. CD4 T lymphocyte count must have been measured within 6 months prior to enrollment; or
• a person less than 5 years of age with HIV-related immunodeficiency, defined as having a most recent CD4 T lymphocyte cell percentage less than 15. CD4 T lymphocyte percentage must have been measured within the 6 months prior to enrollment; or
• a person who has received chemotherapy within the 12 months prior to enrollment.
• Verbal report of CD4 T cell lymphocyte is sufficient documentation if the parent/guardian is confident of history.
• Attends a daycare facility and shares a room with infants less than 6 months of age, and parent/guardian is unable or unwilling to suspend daycare for 28 days following inoculation.
• Any of the following events at the time of enrollment:
• fever (rectal temperature of greater than or equal to 100.4°F [38°C]), or
• upper respiratory signs or symptoms (rhinorrhea, cough, or pharyngitis), or
• nasal congestion significant enough to interfere with successful inoculation, or
• otitis media.
• Receipt of the following prior to enrollment:
• any killed vaccine or live-attenuated rotavirus vaccine within the 14 days prior, or
• any live vaccine, other than rotavirus vaccine, within the 28 days prior, or
