ABSTRACT: Background
Protection against human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains an unmet need potentially addressable by maternal immunization. This phase 1/2 study evaluated a bivalent prefusion F vaccine (RSVpreF) with antigens from RSV subgroups A and B.Methods
Adults 18-49 years old (N = 618) were randomized to receive placebo or 60, 120, or 240 µg RSVpreF with or without Al(OH)3. Safety and immunogenicity were evaluated.Results
RSVpreF recipients more frequently reported local reactions and systemic events than placebo recipients; these were mostly mild or moderate. No vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred through 12 months postvaccination. All RSVpreF formulations induced 1-month postvaccination virus-neutralizing titers higher than those associated with protection of high-risk infants by palivizumab, the only prophylactic currently available for RSV. Geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) across RSVpreF doses/formulations were 10.6-16.9 for RSV A and 10.3-19.8 for RSV B at 1 month postvaccination, greater than those historically elicited by postfusion F vaccines. GMFRs were 3.9-5.2 and 3.7-5.1, respectively, at 12 months postvaccination.Conclusions
RSVpreF formulations were safe, well tolerated, and induced robust neutralizing responses in adults. These findings support development of RSVpreF, which is being evaluated in a pivotal phase 3 study for maternal immunization.Clinical trials registration
