What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-stage trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine called YKYY025 designed to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Healthy adults aged 18 and older receive a single injection of either the vaccine or a placebo. Researchers monitor safety, side effects, and immune responses such as antibody and T-cell levels.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
YKYY025 mRNA vaccine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new vaccine that protects against RSV, a common respiratory virus that can be serious for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1 trial with only 180 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The vaccine may cause side effects or fail to generate a strong immune response.

Donate blood or lose a large amount of blood (\>450 ml) within 30 days prior to vaccination, or plan to donate blood within 30 days after vaccination. 8. Within 3 days prior to vaccination, suffering from acute illness or being in the acute phase of chronic illness, or using antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and/or anti allergic drugs. 9.
