RSV vaccine safety and immune response in lung transplant patients vs. healthy adults
Official title: Analysis of Vaccine-induced Immune Responses and Optimization of Protective Immunity Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Lung Transplant Recipients
Run by Seoul National University Hospital · NCT07895394 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests how well the RSV vaccine works and how safe it is in people who have had a lung transplant compared with healthy adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 19+ with a lung transplant on immunosuppressive therapy, or immunocompetent adults 60+ without immunocompromise.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a prior RSV vaccination, recent RSV infection, or severe vaccine allergies may not benefit.

What this trial studies
The trial compares immunogenicity and safety of a single RSVPreF3 vaccine dose between lung transplant recipients on immunosuppression and immunocompetent adults. Participants will be followed for 30 days post-vaccination for adverse events and will have immune responses measured before vaccination, at 1 month, and at 12 months. The study aims to provide evidence to guide RSV vaccination in lung transplant recipients. It is conducted at Seoul National University Hospital with a prospective, interventional design. Outcomes focus on relative immune response and safety signals between the two groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccine could support RSV protection strategies for lung transplant recipients.
How similar studies have gone: Previous RSV vaccine work has shown immunogenicity in various populations, but direct comparisons in lung transplant recipients are limited.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria (for lung transplant recipient) : * Adults aged 19 years or older who voluntarily provide written informed consent to participate in the study * Recipients of a lung transplant who are receiving immunosuppressive therapy to prevent allograft rejection. Inclusion Criteria (for control) : * Adults aged 60 years or older who voluntarily provide written informed consent to participate in the study. * Individuals who do not have medical conditions associated with immunocompromise (e.g., malignancy, bone marrow transplantation, solid organ transplantation, HIV infection, or dialysis) and have not received ongoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunosuppressive therapy, or immunomodulatory therapy within 6 months before vaccination. Exclusion Criteria: Participants will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria * Previous receipt of any RSV vaccine. * RSV infection diagnosed within the past 12 months. * History of a severe allergic reaction to any component of the RSV vaccine. * Moderate or severe acute illness at the time of screening. * Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or breastfeeding. * Any underlying medical condition for which intramuscular injection is contraindicated. * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may make the participant unsuitable for evaluation of immune responses.
