Triple threat vaccine aims to shield seniors from three winter viruses
NCT ID NCT07295028
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new vaccine called VXB-251 in 240 healthy adults aged 60-83. The vaccine is designed to protect against three viruses that can cause serious lung infections: RSV, hMPV, and PIV3. Researchers will check if the vaccine is safe and how well it triggers the immune system, comparing it to existing vaccines and a placebo.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males and females aged 60 to 83 years of age at inclusion. 2. Evidence of signed and dated participant informed consent form (PICF) prior to any study procedure, indicating that the subject has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study. 3. Willingness and ability to comply with the planned study visits and calls, procedures, and restrictions for the duration of the study. 4. Good health, which allows for pre-existing well controlled and low impact chronic diseases, except for the diseases listed in the exclusion criteria. A disease is defined as well controlled and has a low impact if it did not require meaningful change in therapy or unplanned medical visit(s) in the previous 3 months and allows participant's primary responsibility for self-care and daily living activities. 5. Non-smoker or occasional smoker, defined as smoking less than 10 nicotine-containing cigarettes/ vapes/cigars/pipe fills per week. 6. Contraception and childbearing/conception potential: only female participants with non-childbearing potential will be included. Male participants in a relationship with a female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use a double contraceptive method together with their female partner for at least 4 weeks before and 12 weeks after the IMP injection at Visit 2 (day 1). 7. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 17.0 kg/m2 and ≤ 35.0 kg/m2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of RSV, hMPV, and/or PIV3 infection affecting the participant and/or the participant's household in the previous 12 months. 2. History of autoimmune disease (AID) or possibly autoimmune disease (pAID) requiring therapeutic intervention, even if stable and well controlled, including, but not limited to, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune arthritis/rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, glomerulonephritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, temporal arteritis, psoriasis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, celiac disease. 3. Confirmed or suspected immunodeficiency, even if stable and well controlled. 4. Ongoing severe asthma. Other allergic diseases (e.g., allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis / eczema, mild to moderate asthma, food allergies) are allowed at the investigator's or delegate's discretion. 5. History of significant allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity, angioedema) to medication or food or known allergy to vaccine, or any excipients in the formulation, and latex. 6. History of severe AE associated with vaccine administration. 7. Ongoing disorders of coagulation, which contraindicate IM injections. 8. Donation or loss of ≥ 500 mL whole blood on the previous 2 months, and/or donation of plasma in the previous 1 week, and/or intention to donate blood or plasma during the study. 9. Positive serum test results indicating ongoing HIV, HBV and/or HCV infection, and/or documented ongoing HIV, HBV, or HCV infection. 10. Other poorly controlled and/or impactful chronic disease. A disease is defined as poorly controlled if it requires meaningful change in therapy and/or unplanned medical visit(s) in the previous 3 months. A disease is defined as impactful if, in the investigator's judgment, it meaningfully affects the participant's ability to manage self-care and/or activities of daily living. 11. Disease expected to prevent completion of the study (i.e. to rapidly deteriorate within the timeframe of the study). 12. Prior treatments. 1. Receipt of licensed RSV vaccine and/or enrollment in clinical trials(s) evaluating investigational RSV, hMPV, PIV3, and/or molecular clamp-based vaccine candidates at any time, unless it was documented that the participant received a placebo. 2. Other investigational drug or vaccine received in the previous 6 months. 3. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or other immunosuppressive medication (including biologics) received in the previous 6 months. 4. IgGs or any blood product received in the previous 3 months. 5. Systemic corticosteroids (oral/intravenous/IM) at doses equivalent to ≥ 20 mg prednisone per day received for ≥ 14 days, even if not consecutive, during the previous 3 months. Inhaled/nebulized, intra-articular, intra-bursal, skin, and eye topical corticosteroids are permitted. 6. Received or plan to receive licensed non-live vaccine(s) for the period starting 2 weeks before to 4 weeks after of the study IMP injection or licensed live vaccine(s) for the period starting from 4 weeks before to 4 weeks after the study IMP injection. Pandemic or emergency vaccines are always allowed as per country guidelines. 13. Clinically meaningful abnormal finding from physical examination, vital sign assessment, electrocardiogram (ECG), safety laboratory test results. If deemed appropriate, the investigator or delegate may repeat these assessments. 14. History of alcohol abuse in the previous year determined at the investigator's discretion. 15. History of recreational drug abuse in the previous year and/or positive test for drugs of abuse at Visit 2 (day 1), unless there is an explanation acceptable to the investigator (e.g., the participant has informed in advance that he/she consumed a prescription or over-the-counter product that contained the detected drug). 16. Intention to participate in any investigational drug/vaccine/medical device clinical trial at any time throughout the planned duration of this study. 17. Presence of tattoo, scarring, skin discoloration, or any other skin disturbances at the injection site which may interfere with effective assessment of the injection site. 18. Intention to move to a location that would prevent participating in the study until study end. 19. Any other reason which would prevent the participant from participating in the study or interfere with the participant's compliance with study procedures. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
