Human Challenge Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of MV-012-968 Vaccine

A Randomised, Phase 2a, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Prophylactic Efficacy of MV-012-968 Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection in the Virus Challenge Model.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether the investigational, live attenuated, intranasally delivered vaccine MV-012-968 ('study vaccine') may have prophylactic efficacy against symptomatic RSV infection when administered to adults 18-45 years of age in the Human Viral Challenge model.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

2. Aged between 18 and 45 years old on the day of signing the consent form.
3. In good general health with no history, or current evidence, of clinically significant medical conditions (including respiratory, cardiac and immunodeficiency), and no clinically significant test abnormalities that will interfere with participant safety, as defined by medical history, physical examination (including vital signs), electrocardiogram (ECG), and routine laboratory tests as determined by the Investigator.
4. A documented medical history prior to enrolment.
5. Females of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment.
6. Females and Males must agree to adhere to the highly effective contraceptive requirements of the study from 2 weeks prior to the first study visit until 90 days after the date of study vaccination.

7. Participants who have smoked ≥ 10 pack years at any time [10 pack years is equivalent to one pack of 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years])
