Summary
This trial will test a new virus in healthy adults to see if it is safe and how the body responds to it.
Who is the study for?
Healthy adults aged 18-50 can join this trial. They must be in good health, pass a test showing they understand RSV and the study, and stay at the hospital for the trial period. Participants need to use reliable birth control or be sterile.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing rRSV A/Maryland/001/11, a lab-made version of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It's given through the nose to see how safe it is, if it causes an immune response, and how well it grows inside the body.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects are not detailed but may include typical responses to viral infections such as nasal congestion, coughing, sore throat, headache or fever.
