Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for children aged 6 to 59 months who have either been previously exposed to RSV (seropositive) or not (seronegative). Participants must be in good health, with normal growth and up-to-date vaccinations. They cannot join if they were born very prematurely, have a history of severe vaccine reactions, chronic diseases, immune system problems, or recent use of certain medications.

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

I am receiving treatment for a heart condition.

I have had wheezing or used a bronchodilator in the last year.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Placebo
• RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1
• RSV 6120/∆NS1

Trial Overview The study tests two live-attenuated RSV vaccines: RSV 6120/∆NS1 and RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1 against a placebo. It aims to assess how well these vaccines create an immune response in young children and monitor their safety.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Group 2: RSV 6120/∆NS1 Vaccine Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seronegative infants and children greater than or equal to 6 months to less than 25 months will receive a single dose of 10\^5.0 PFUs of RSV 6120/∆NS1 vaccine at Day 0.

Group II: Group 2: RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seronegative infants and children greater than or equal to 6 months to less than 25 months will receive a single dose of 10\^5.0 PFUs of RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1 vaccine at Day 0.

Group III: Group 1: RSV 6120/∆NS1 Vaccine Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seropositive children greater than or equal to 12 months to less than 60 months will receive a single dose of 10\^6.0 plaque-forming units (PFUs) of RSV 6120/∆NS1 vaccine at Day 0.

Group IV: Group 1: RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1 Vaccine Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seropositive children greater than or equal to 12 months to less than 60 months will receive a single dose of 10\^5.8 PFUs of RSV 6120/F1/G2/∆NS1 vaccine at Day 0.

Group V: Group 2: Placebo Placebo Group 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seronegative infants and children greater than or equal to 6 months to less than 25 months will receive a single dose of placebo at Day 0.

Group VI: Group 1: Placebo Placebo Group 1 Intervention

Healthy RSV-seropositive children greater than or equal to 12 months to less than 60 months will receive a single dose of placebo at Day 0.
