Phase 1/2 Study of Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus (RSV+HMPV) Vaccine Candidate in Adults 60 Years of Age and Older

This study is a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind, active and placebo-controlled, multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 2400 adults 60 years of age and older. The aim of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of an RSV+HMPV vaccine candidate for the prevention of RSV and HMPV disease among adults 60 years of age and older. While there are 3 FDA approved/licensed RSV vaccines currently available to the public, no vaccine is available for the prevention of HMPV in older adults. This study is intended to provide data in support of further clinical development of the RSV+HMPV vaccine candidate. The study will consist of 4 cohorts and 11 vaccine groups (RSV+HMPV \[6 dose levels\], placebo and 4 control groups). The duration of the study will be approximately 12 months for each participant.

Study of a Human Metapneumovirus/Respiratory Syncytial Virus mRNA Vaccine Candidate Encapsulated in a Lipid Nanoparticle-based Formulation in Adults Aged 60 Years and Older

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a human metapneumovirus (hMPV) / respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) mRNA vaccine candidate encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) based formulation (hereafter referred to as hMPV/RSV vaccine) for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by hMPV and/or RSV among adults aged 60 years and older. The study will also evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination using a bivalent hMPV/RSV mRNA vaccine candidate (hereafter referred to as RSV+hMPV mRNA vaccine candidate). Overall, the study is designed to address the following goals: * Assess the safety profile of the candidate formulations. * Describe the immunogenicity profile of the candidate formulations. * Select the vaccine formulations (dose) for future development. * Assess the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with the RSV + hMPV mRNA vaccine candidate administered 12 months after primary vaccination with a licensed RSV vaccine. The study duration is as follows: -Six months each for the Sentinel and Main Cohorts; up to 12 months for the Expansion Cohort, and 6 additional months for the Booster Cohort Treatment duration: * Stage 1 Sentinel Cohort: 1 intra-muscular (IM) injection. Participants will be followed for 6 months post vaccination * Stage 1 Main Cohort: 1 IM injection. Participants will be followed for 6 months post vaccination * Stage 2 Expansion Cohort: 1 IM injection. Participants in the licensed RSV vaccine arm will be followed for 12 months post-vaccination; the remainder of the participants will be followed up to 8 months post-vaccination * Stage 2 Booster Cohort: 1 IM injection 12 months post-primary vaccination. Participants will be followed for 6 months post-booster vaccination
