Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy men or women aged 18-49 or 60-84 with BMI 18-35 kg/m^2 who have no history of cancer or autoimmune/immunosuppressive conditions and no history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants with cancer history, autoimmune or immunosuppressive conditions, or prior Guillain-Barré Syndrome may not benefit and could be at higher risk.

What this trial studies
This first-in-human trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of the RSV multivalent vaccines V175 and V175A in healthy adults aged 18-49 or 60-84. Participants are randomized to receive V175, V175A, a control vaccine, or placebo and are closely monitored for adverse events. The study uses standard vaccine safety assessments and follow-up to determine how the vaccines behave in humans. Enrollment targets adults across two age ranges to explore any differences in response by age group. The trial is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and is conducted at two sites in Australia.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccines could proceed to further testing to prevent RSV infections.
How similar studies have gone: RSV vaccine trials in early phases have established safety in healthy adults, supporting progression to later-stage testing.
