Can a new RSV vaccine keep adults out of the hospital? 690,000 join trial
NCT ID NCT06684743
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This massive study is testing whether the Abrysvo RSV vaccine can prevent hospitalizations due to RSV in adults aged 18 and older. Half of the 690,000 participants will receive the vaccine, while the other half will not. Researchers will track how many in each group end up hospitalized for RSV-related illness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Abrysvo (RSV prefusion F protein-based vaccine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the Abrysvo vaccine effectively reduces RSV-related hospitalizations in a broad adult population, including younger adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by participant behavior. The vaccine's effectiveness may vary by age and health status, and rare side effects may only emerge in such a large study.
