Safety and immunogenicity of a respiratory syncytial virus fusion glycoprotein F subunit vaccine in healthy adults: Results of a phase 1, randomized, observer-blind, controlled, dosage-escalation study

摘要

Introduction: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in infants. An investigational vaccine using an engineered recombinant RSV fusion glycoprotein in its post-fusion conformation (RSV F subunit vaccine) has been developed to protect young infants via maternal immunization. This first-in-human, phase I, observer-blind study (NCT02298179) evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of different dosages and formulations of RSV F subunit vaccine in healthy non-pregnant women and men aged 18-45 years.
