One shot, two viruses: vaccine aims to shield older adults from RSV and HMPV
NCT ID NCT07810010
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
Researchers are testing a single injection vaccine designed to protect adults 60 and older from two respiratory viruses: RSV and HMPV. The trial plans to enroll about 8,000 participants who will randomly receive either the vaccine or a placebo. Scientists will track who develops lower respiratory tract disease from either virus, and they will monitor safety and immune responses. A small safety group receives the first doses before the larger group joins.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a bivalent protein vaccine candidate against RSV and HMPV
- What this could lead to
- If it works, one shot could protect older adults from two common respiratory viruses that cause serious lung infections. This could simplify prevention by covering RSV and HMPV at the same time.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2b trial, so researchers still need to confirm whether the vaccine lowers infection rates in real life. The vaccine may not produce strong enough protection in older adults, and any immune response could fade over time.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 60 years or older on the day of inclusion * Participants who, as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and clinical judgment of the Investigator are eligible for inclusion Exclusion Criteria: * Known/suspected immunodeficiency; immunosuppressive therapy/immunomodulators in past 6 months; long-term systemic corticosteroids (eg, prednisone for more than 2 weeks in past 3 months); history of immune-mediated neurological disease. Of note, persons living with stable HIV are not excluded * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study interventions used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances * Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion * Previous history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) * Previous vaccination against RSV and/or HMPV (with a licensed or investigational vaccine either as a monovalent vaccine or any combination of the antigens) or previous receipt of RSV and/or HMPV monoclonal antibody The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
