New RSV vaccine trial aims to protect vulnerable transplant recipients
NCT ID NCT06593210
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing a non-live, adjuvanted RSV vaccine (Arexvy) in 100 adults who have received a lung or stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and helps their immune system fight RSV, a common virus that can be dangerous for them. Participants will have blood tests before and after vaccination to measure immune response, and will be monitored for side effects, infections, and transplant complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Arexvy (non-live, adjuvanted RSV vaccine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe and effective RSV vaccine for people with weakened immune systems after transplants, reducing serious infections.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase study (100 participants) and transplant recipients have suppressed immune systems, so the vaccine may not produce a strong immune response or could cause unexpected side effects.
