This is a trial that is studying a new inhaled medicine, MDT-637, that is being researched for the treatment of a viral infection of the lungs that typically affects the young and the elderly (Respiratory Syncytial Virus, RSV). Adult volunteers will be infected with RSV (the infection is typically mild in adults), half of these volunteers will be treated with MDT-637, and the other half will receive placebo which has no effect on RSV.
