RSV+HMPV protein shot for adults 60 and older

Official title: A Phase 2b, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Observer-blind Study in Adults 60 Years of Age and Older to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of a Bivalent Protein Vaccine Candidate Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV)

Run by Sanofi · NCT07810010 · Data updated 2026-11-12

A single shot of a two-virus vaccine is being tested in adults 60+ to see if it can prevent RSV and hMPV infections compared with placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 60 years and older who meet health criteria and consent to participate.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with certain immune conditions or a history suggesting safety risks for the vaccine may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2b, observer-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate a bivalent RSV+HMPV protein vaccine in adults 60 years and older. It includes a Safety Lead-in with 200 participants to assess initial safety before expanding to the main cohort. About 8,000 participants total will be randomized to receive one intramuscular injection of the vaccine or placebo, with efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity data collected. The trial uses a parallel design and a case-driven approach to determine proof of concept. Locations include sites in Australia (Brisbane/NSW regions) with Sanofi as lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccine could reduce RSV and HMPV infections and related illness in older adults.

How similar studies have gone: Similar strategies with RSV vaccines have shown safety and immunogenicity signals in older adults, but this specific RSV+HMPV combination is being tested for proof of concept.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged 60 years or older on the day of inclusion
* Participants who, as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and clinical judgment of the Investigator are eligible for inclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known/suspected immunodeficiency; immunosuppressive therapy/immunomodulators in past 6 months; long-term systemic corticosteroids (eg, prednisone for more than 2 weeks in past 3 months); history of immune-mediated neurological disease. Of note, persons living with stable HIV are not excluded
* Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study interventions used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances
* Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion
* Previous history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
* Previous vaccination against RSV and/or HMPV (with a licensed or investigational vaccine either as a monovalent vaccine or any combination of the antigens) or previous receipt of RSV and/or HMPV monoclonal antibody
