This is a study of molnupiravir (MK-4482) in healthy participants who have been inoculated with an experimental Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) [RSV-A Memphis 37b]. It is hypothesized that treatment with the drug MK-4482 (molnupiravir) will reduce the peak viral load (PVL) in the participant compared to placebo when given either before or after RSV-A Memphis 37b inoculation.
Participants arrive at the study center for check-in between Day -3 and Day -1. Participants receive the assigned treatment beginning on Day -1. On Day 0, all participants receive viral inoculation with RSV-A Memphis 37b. All participants depart on Day 12 and follow-up is continued until Day 28.
The study is designed with the following arms:

| Panel A vs Panel C: Peak Viral Load (PVL) Determined by Viral Quantitative Culture | PVL was defined as the maximum viral load during a specified time period. PVL determined by viral quantitative culture (plaque assay) was measured from Day 2 up to Day 12 (end of participant quarantine). PVL (on the log10 scale) of RSV A Memphis 37b determined by viral quantitative culture (plaque assay) between Day 2 and Day 12 am after intranasal inoculation (Day 0) was analyzed using a linear model with treatment group as a fixed categorical effect. Per protocol, only Panel A (prophylaxis) and Panel C (placebo) were included in the model. | From Day 2 up to Day 12 |
| Panel B vs. Panel C: Area Under the Viral Load-time Curve (VL-AUC) Determined by Viral Quantitative Culture | VL-AUC between Day 2 and Day 12 after intranasal inoculation (Day 0) was computed for each participant, based on RSV viral load determined by viral quantitative culture (plaque assay) from nasal wash samples collected twice daily (morning and evening). In order to calculate the AUC, the actual time that the assessment was collected was used within the AUC calculation. VL-AUC (on the log10 scale) was analyzed using a linear model with treatment group as a fixed categorical effect. Per protocol, only Panel B (treatment) and Panel C (placebo) were included in the model. For both panels, only the participants with RSV infection were included. | From Day 2 up to Day 12 |

Per protocol, Panel C participants receiving placebo were not included in the analysis. | Posted | Geometric Mean | Geometric Coefficient of Variation | ng/mL | Day 2 at 12 hours predose (Panel A) or Day 6 at 12 hours predose (Panel B) |

The Sponsor will generally support publication of multicenter studies only in their entirety and not as individual site data. In this case, a coordinating investigator will be designated by mutual agreement. If publication activity is not directed by the Sponsor, the investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to the Sponsor before submission. Authorship will be determined by mutual agreement and in line with ICMJE authorship requirements.
