Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of a new RSV vaccine in young children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy RSV-seronegative infants and children aged 6 to 24 months who have received all routine immunizations. They must be growing normally according to WHO charts, with no chronic diseases, immune system issues, or severe allergies. Infants can't join if they were born prematurely (<37 weeks), had certain treatments like oxygen therapy at home, or live with someone under 6 months old or immunocompromised.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new vaccine called LID/ΔM2-2/1030s against a placebo in preventing Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Participants will receive one dose of either the vaccine or placebo to assess how well it works (immunogenicity), its safety profile, and whether it causes an infection-like response.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions seen with vaccines such as redness or swelling at the injection site, fever, irritability, and loss of appetite. Since this is a live-attenuated vaccine designed to mimic natural infection without causing disease, mild respiratory symptoms could also occur.
