Double defense: new mRNA vaccine targets two lung viruses in seniors
NCT ID NCT06686654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new mRNA vaccine designed to protect adults aged 60 and older from two viruses that can cause serious lung infections: human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). About 1,530 participants will receive either the vaccine or a placebo to check safety and immune response. The trial also looks at how well a booster shot works a year after the first vaccination.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 60 years or older on the day of inclusion * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and is of non-childbearing potential. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile Exclusion Criteria: * Any screening laboratory parameter with laboratory abnormality \> Grade 1 deemed clinically significant by the investigator * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months). Of note, persons living with stable human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are not excluded * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components (eg, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate); history of a life-threatening reaction to the study interventions used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances; any allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) after administration of an mRNA vaccine * History of RSV and/or hMPV-associated illness, diagnosed serologically or microbiologically in the last 12 months * Previous history of myocarditis, pericarditis, and/or myopericarditis * Screening electrocardiogram that is consistent with possible myocarditis, pericarditis, and/or myopericarditis or, in the opinion of the investigator, demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or study results * Laboratory-confirmed thrombocytopenia, contraindicating IM injection, based on investigator's judgment * Bleeding disorder or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating IM injection, based on investigator's judgment * Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion * Receipt of any vaccine other than mRNA vaccine in the 28 days preceding any study intervention administration or planned receipt of any vaccine other than mRNA vaccine in the 28 days following any study intervention administration * Receipt of any mRNA vaccine in the 60 days preceding any study intervention administration or planned receipt of any mRNA vaccine in the 60 days following any study intervention administration * Previous vaccination against RSV and/or hMPV (with a licensed or investigational vaccine either as a monovalent vaccine or any combination of the antigens) * Receipt of immune globulins, blood, or blood-derived products in the past 3 months Note: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
