One shot, two viruses: could a combined vaccine shield seniors from RSV and HMPV?
NCT ID NCT07734649
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing an experimental vaccine designed to protect against two respiratory viruses at once: RSV and HMPV. The study involves about 2,400 adults aged 60 and older, who will receive one of several dose levels of the vaccine, a placebo, or a control vaccine. Researchers are measuring how well the vaccine triggers an immune response and monitoring for side effects over 12 months. The goal is to see if a single shot can safely prevent illness from both viruses in older adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental bivalent vaccine targeting RSV and HMPV
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a single vaccine that protects older adults against two common respiratory viruses, including HMPV for which no vaccine currently exists.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial testing multiple dose levels, so the optimal dose and safety profile are not yet known. The vaccine may not produce strong enough immunity or could cause side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 60 years or older on the day of inclusion * Non-childbearing potential (ie, post-menopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile) Exclusion Criteria: * History of laboratory-confirmed RSV and/or laboratory-confirmed HMPV infection affecting the participant and/or the participant's household in the previous 12 months * Previous history of myocarditis, pericarditis, and/or myopericarditis * Screening electrocardiogram (ECG) that is consistent with possible myocarditis, pericarditis, and/or myopericarditis or, in the opinion of the investigator, demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or study results * 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 * Any vaccine given 4 weeks before or 4 weeks after study intervention * Previous vaccination against RSV and/or HMPV with an investigational or marketed vaccine * Receipt of any mRNA vaccine/product in the 2 months preceding study intervention administration * Has received a blood transfusion or blood-derived products, including immunoglobulins, in the past 3 months * Any screening laboratory parameter with laboratory abnormality \> Grade 1 or deemed clinically significant by the investigator; if deemed appropriate, investigator may repeat these assessments The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
