New mRNA vaccine aims to shield toddlers from two winter viruses

NCT ID NCT05743881

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing two mRNA vaccines in children aged 5 months to under 24 months. One vaccine targets RSV alone, and the other targets both RSV and hMPV. The main goals are to check safety and see how well the vaccines trigger an immune response. About 186 children will take part, receiving either a vaccine or a placebo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

mRNA vaccines (mRNA-1345 and mRNA-1365)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a single vaccine that protects young children against two common respiratory viruses, RSV and hMPV.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 186 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The vaccines may cause side effects or fail to provide strong protection.
