Dose, Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of a Stabilized Prefusion RSV F Subunit Protein Vaccine, VRC-RSVRGP084-00-VP (DS-Cav1), Alone or With Alum Adjuvant, in Healthy Adults

Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. Healthy adults who are infected generally have mild cold symptoms for a week or two. But it can also be serious, especially for infants and older adults. It can be spread by direct or indirect contact with respiratory secretions. Researchers want to study a new vaccine to prevent RSV. Objective: To see if a vaccine for RSV is safe and if it causes side effects. Eligibility: Healthy adults 18-50 years old Design: Volunteers were screened in a separate screening protocol. Subjects had 13 visits over 1 year. Some subjects received just vaccine. Some received vaccine mixed with alum adjuvant. All subjects received their dose by injection in the upper arm. They received up to two doses, one at the beginning of the study and another 12 weeks later. Subjects were monitored for 1 hour after injection and called to check on their safety 1 day after. Subjects recorded their temperature and side effects for 7 days after each vaccination. Subjects were provided with a thermometer to measure their temperature and a ruler to measure any changes if these occurred on their skin at the injection site. At all visits, subjects were checked for health changes or problems. They may have had blood drawn. At some visits, subjects had samples collected from their nose and mouth.
