Summary

HPIV3 and HMPV are viruses that can cause breathing problems in children. The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the safety of 2 experimental HPIV3/HMPV vaccines in HPIV3-seropositive children ≥ 24 months to \< 60 months of age. Children will receive B/HPIV3/HMPV-PreF-A vaccine, B/HPIV3/HMPV-F-B365 vaccine, or placebo, and participants will not know which study product they have received.

The main goals of the study are to find out whether these vaccines are well-tolerated and infectious in HPIV3-seropositive children.

The general procedures include daily temperature measurements and daily contact with the participant for the first 28 days, giving a single dose of one of the 2 study vaccines or placebo delivered by nasal sprayer, about 9 in-person visits, a physical examination, 7 clinical assessments, 2 blood samples, 9 nasal swabs and monthly contacts with the participant between Days 29-180.

Additional visits may occur if the child has a respiratory illness, fever, or ear infections. The illness visit will include a nasal swab and a clinical assessment.

Conditions

  • Human Metapneumovirus
  • Human Parainfluenza Virus Type 3

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

B/HPIV3/HMPV-PreF-A vaccine

B/HPIV3/HMPV-PreF-A is a live-attenuated vaccine candidate. The B/HPIV3/HMPV-PreF-A vaccine is provided in a sterile 2.0-mL cryovial, each containing 0.6 mL of vaccine with a titer of approximately 10\^6.7 PFU/mL. The vaccine virus concentrate is diluted with Lactated Ringer's Solution for Injection to a dose of approximately 10\^5.6 PFU in a 0.2 mL volume.

BIOLOGICAL

B/HPIV3/HMPV-F-B365 vaccine

B/HPIV3/HMPV-F-B365 is a live-attenuated vaccine candidate. The B/HPIV3/HMPV-F-B365 vaccine is provided in a sterile 2.0-mL cryovial, each containing 0.6 mL of vaccine with a titer of approximately 10\^6.3 PFU/mL. The vaccine virus concentrate is diluted with Lactated Ringer's Solution for Injection to a dose of approximately 10\^5.6 PFU in a 0.2 mL volume.

DRUG

Placebo

Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic solution for fluid and electrolyte replenishment. It will be drawn up in a sterile syringe to a volume of 0.2 mL.
