A Phase I Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Dose-Ranging Study in Healthy Subjects 24 to <72 Months of Age
Canada32 participantsStarted 2014-11
Plain-language summary
This is a randomized, observer-blind, irrelevant comparator-controlled trial in male and female subjects ≥24 months of age and \<72 months of age. Subjects will be without symptomatic chronic cardiopulmonary disease, including recurrent wheezing. Subjects will be screened for seropositivity to RSV in a qualified serum microneutralization (MN) assay and will be excluded if titers for either RSV/A or RSV/B are \<1:16 (4 log2).
Treatments will comprise an IM dose of saline placebo or RSV F vaccine on Day 0 and an IM dose of RSV F vaccine or a licensed hepatitis A vaccine on Day 28. Hepatitis A vaccine (and in one group placebo) will be used to maintain the study blind; all subjects will receive a complete course of hepatitis A vaccine as a study benefit.

Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Numbers and percentages of subjects with solicited local and systemic AEs.
Timeframe: Up to Day 392
2
Immunogenicity as assessed by serum IgG antibody levels specific for the F protein antigen as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) providing a standardized ELISA Unit (EU) reasout based on a standard reference sample.
. Serum MN titers against RSV/A or RSV/B \<1:16 (4 log2).
. Toxicity grade ≥2 for any safety laboratory parameter.
. Participation in research involving an investigational product (drug/biologic/device) within 45 days before planned date of first vaccination and planned participation at any time during the study.
. History of a serious reaction to any prior vaccination, including Guillain-Barré Syndrome within six weeks following a previous influenza vaccination.
. Receipt of any vaccine (other than the influenza vaccine specified in the protocol) in the four weeks preceding the first study vaccination and/or planned receipt of a licensed vaccine (other than the hepatitis A vaccine specified in the protocol) at any time prior to Study Day 56.
. Receipt of an RSV vaccine at any time.
. Any known or suspected immunosuppressive condition, acquired or congenital, as determined by medical history and/or physical examination.
. Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the administration of the study vaccine. An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid will be defined as a systemic dose ≥1 mg/kg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical glucocorticoids for minor cutaneous symptoms will be permitted, but the use of nasal or inhaled glucocorticoids in exclusionary (because of potential related diagnoses rather than immunosuppression).
