New RSV shot for babies enters early human trials
NCT ID NCT07363837
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called SIBP-A16 to see if it can safely prevent RSV in infants under 1 year old, including those born early. About 36 babies will receive either the new drug, a placebo, or an existing RSV drug. The main goal is to check for side effects and how the drug behaves in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SIBP-A16 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new option to protect infants from severe RSV infection during their first season.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (36 infants) focused on safety and dosing. The drug may not prove effective or could have side effects, and results may not apply to all infants.

Inclusion Criteria: * During screening, infants within 1 year of age, including premature infants (gestational age ≥29 to \<35 weeks) and full-term infants (gestational age ≥35 weeks), with underlying diseases but no other risk factors, are allowed to participate in the trial; * Infants with a body weight ≥3 kg at screening; * Infants who are entering their first RSV infection season at screening; * Parents/legal guardians of trial participants have signed the informed consent form; * Parents/legal guardians of trial participants are able to understand and comply with the requirements and procedures of the protocol, including scheduled center visits, telephone interviews, and blood sample collection; * Participants can complete the follow-up period, which is approximately 1 year after the administration of the study drug. Exclusion Criteria: * Any fever (≥37.5°C, axillary temperature) or acute illness (defined as the presence of moderate or severe symptoms or signs) occurring within 7 days prior to drug administration; * Having experienced Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRTI) within the previous 7 days prior to randomization, or having active LRTI at the time of randomization; * Individuals with chronic eczema or urticaria, or those with an allergic constitution who are allergic to multiple drugs, or those with a known history of allergy to immunoglobulin products, blood products, other exogenous proteins, or any components of this product; * Had a history of RSV infection before randomization, or had active RSV infection at the time of randomization; * Those who have received non-oral inactivated vaccines or component vaccines within 7 days before administration; * Having received a non-oral live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to drug administration; * Participants who have received any medication within 7 days prior to drug administration, except for: a) various vitamins and iron supplements; b) systemic over-the-counter medications (such as analgesics) for common pediatric symptoms, which may be used occasionally, as determined by the investigator; * Participants with autoimmune diseases who are currently receiving, or are expected to receive according to the investigator's judgment, immunosuppressive therapy (including steroids, excluding topical steroids) during the trial period; * Have previously used or are expected to receive blood products or immunoglobulin products during the trial period; * Known renal dysfunction or liver dysfunction; * Known to have chronic lung disease (CLD)/bronchopulmonary dysplasia; * Congenital respiratory abnormalities with clinical significance; * Suffering from congenital heart disease (CHD) accompanied by significant hemodynamic changes; * Suffering from chronic epilepsy or progressive or unstable neurological disorders; * Those who have previously experienced or are suspected to have experienced life-threatening acute events, and are still deemed unsuitable for participating in clinical trials by the researchers; * Known immune deficiency, including infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); * The mother is infected with HIV (unless it has been proven that the trial participant is not infected); * The mother received the RSV vaccine during pregnancy; * Have received any investigational drugs or participated in any intervention studies; * Any other circumstances that the researcher believes may interfere with the evaluation of the study drug or the interpretation of the study results; * The participants are the children of the researchers, their subordinate researchers, relatives, or staff members of the sponsor.
