Safety and Immunogenicity of an Intranasal Vaccine for Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Seronegative Children 6-36 Months

Phase 1
Conditions
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Interventions
Biological: Investigational RSV vaccine MV-012-968 (Dosage 2)
Biological: Investigational RSV vaccine MV-012-968 (Dosage 1)
Biological: Investigational RSV vaccine MV-012-968 (Dosage 3; single-dose)
Biological: Investigational RSV vaccine MV-012-968 (Dosage 3; two-dose)
Other: Placebo (single-dose)
Other: Placebo (two-dose)
Registration Number
NCT04909021
Lead Sponsor
Meissa Vaccines, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study evaluates an investigational vaccine that is designed to protect humans against infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and is administered as a nasal spray. Specifically, the study analyzes the safety of, and the immune response to, the vaccine when administered to healthy children between the ages of 6 and 24 months who are seronegative to RSV.

Target Recruitment
63
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Children aged 6-36 months
  2. Good health based on history, physical examination, and medical record review, without evidence or suspicion of chronic disease
  3. Seronegative to RSV, as defined by serum nAb titer below the threshold described in the study protocol and operations manual
  4. Written informed consent provided by parent(s)/guardian(s)

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Known or suspected chronic illness, particularly cardiopulmonary (including asthma or reactive airways disease), genetic or metabolic, hepatic, renal, infectious (including recurrent or chronic sinusitis), or immunodeficiency
  2. Prior lab-confirmed RSV infection
  3. Household or close contact (including but not limited to daycare) during the 21 days post-inoculation with anyone < 6 months old or immunocompromised (applies to first study inoculation)
  4. Nasal obstruction (including due to anatomic/structural causes, acute or chronic rhinosinusitis, or other causes)
  5. Receipt of immunoglobulins, monoclonal antibodies and/or any blood products, or ribavirin within 6 months prior to study inoculation, or planned use during study period
  6. Receipt of an investigational RSV vaccine at any time
  7. Any other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, would be a risk to subject's safety and/or may interfere with study procedures or interpretation of results

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Solicited adverse events (AEs)Immediate post-vaccination period

Frequency of solicited AEs will be measured, categorized by severity. Solicited AEs are predefined AEs that may occur after investigational vaccine administration

Unsolicited AEsImmediate post-vaccination period

Frequency of unsolicited AEs will be measured, categorized by severity. Unsolicited AEs are any untoward medical occurrences in a participant administered the investigational vaccine, regardless of causal relationship to the investigational vaccine. Unsolicited AEs can include unfavorable and unintended signs (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptoms, or diseases temporally associated with the use of the investigational vaccine.

Serious adverse events (SAEs)Full study duration, an average of 1 year

Frequency of SAEs will be measured, categorized by vaccine-relatedness . SAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the investigational vaccine or not, that threaten life or result in any of the following: death, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Medically attended adverse events (MAEs)Full study duration, an average of 1 year

Frequency of MAEs will be measured, categorized by vaccine-relatedness. MAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the investigational vaccine or not, with unscheduled medically attended visits, such as urgent care visits, acute primary care visits, emergency department visits, or other previously unplanned visits to a medical provider. Scheduled medical visits such as routine physicals, wellness checks, 'check-ups', and vaccinations, are not considered MAEs.

Change in RSV-specific serum neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers (GMT)Baseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks

Change in serum RSV-specific neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers will be measured per participant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in serum binding (RSV F-specific) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrationsBaseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks

Change in serum binding (RSV F-specific) IgG concentrations will be measured per participant

Change in nasal mucosal binding (RSV F-specific) Immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentrationsBaseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks

Change in nasal mucosal binding (RSV F-specific) IgA concentrations will be measured per participant

Potential vaccine virus shedding after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968: magnitudeIntranasal inoculation through Day 22, an average of three (3) weeks

If post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus is detected by plaque assay after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968, peak viral titer (measured in plaque forming units, PFU) will be measured per dosage group and overall

Potential vaccine virus shedding after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968: durationIntranasal inoculation through Day 22, an average of three (3) weeks

If post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus is detected by plaque assay after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968, duration of shedding (in days) will be measured per dosage group and overall.

Potential vaccine virus shedding after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968: frequencyIntranasal inoculation through Day 22, an average of three (3) weeks

Frequency of any post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus (as detected by plaque assay) after a single intranasal dose of MV-012-968 will be measured per dosage group and overall.
