One shot, two viruses? new mRNA vaccine targets RSV and hMPV
NCT ID NCT07764237
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine called mRNA-1365 in healthy adults aged 60 and older. The vaccine is designed to trigger immunity against two respiratory viruses—RSV and hMPV—which can cause severe illness in older people. Researchers will evaluate the vaccine's safety and how well it stimulates the immune system, comparing it with other vaccine formulations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mRNA-1365 (Profile 2), an experimental mRNA vaccine designed to protect against two respiratory viruses: RSV and hMPV.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this vaccine could offer broad protection against two common respiratory viruses in older adults, reducing severe illness and hospitalizations.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety and immune response, not proof of effectiveness. The vaccine may cause side effects or fail to generate strong immunity.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: * In good general health or with stable chronic medical conditions, as determined by medical evaluation including medical history and physical examination. * Body mass index within the range 18.5 to 35 kg/m2 (inclusive). Key Exclusion Criteria: * History of anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reaction requiring medical intervention after receipt of any mRNA vaccine or therapeutic, or any components of an mRNA vaccine or therapeutic. * Abnormal screening clinical laboratory values for total white blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin \>Grade 1, or platelets ≥Grade 1. * History of a diagnosis or condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, is clinically unstable, potentially affects participant safety, the assessment of study endpoints, the assessment of immune response, or adherence to study procedures. * History of congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, immunosuppressive condition, asplenia, or recurrent severe infectious disease. * Participants with immune-mediated (autoimmune) conditions are generally excluded. * Received a licensed RSV vaccine or participated in a study in which vaccines against RSV and/or hMPV were administered to participants alone, or as part of a combination vaccine, at any time in the past. Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
