in the study protocol.
- Seronegative for RSV antibody, defined as a serum RSV-neutralizing antibody titer less
than 1:40 at screening from a sample collected no more than 42 days prior to study
product administration.
- Note: results from specimens collected during screening for any study of an RSV
vaccine developed by the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID) (National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [NIAID], National Institutes of
Health [NIH]) are acceptable. If study product will not be administered the same
day as randomization (see the study protocol), it must be administered no more
than 42 days after the screening sample is collected.

to enrollment AND has a current height and weight above the 3rd percentile for age and
sex per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) World Health Organization
(WHO) growth standards.
- Has received routine immunizations appropriate for age (as per national Center for
Disease Control Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP]). Note: COVID-19
vaccination will not be required unless fully licensed for this age group and
ACIP-recommended. See study-specific Manual of Procedures for further guidance
- Is expected to be available for the duration of the study.
- If born to an HIV-infected woman, potential participant must have documentation of 2
negative HIV nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) test results from samples collected on
different dates with both collected when greater than or equal to 4 weeks of age and
at least one collected when greater than or equal to 16 weeks of age, and no positive
HIV nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) test; or 2 negative HIV antibody tests, both from
samples collected at greater than or equal to 24 weeks of age. If potential
participant was breastfed by an HIV-infected woman, each of the sampling times noted
above must be measured in weeks after the last exposure to breast milk, rather than
weeks of age.
Exclusion Criteria:

investigational RSV vaccine, or previous maternal or pediatric receipt of or planned

monoclonal antibody [mAb]) within 4 months of screening or planned administration of
an anti-RSV product between screening and day 56 after enrollment.

not completed the Day 56 visit in the same calendar year (i.e., all eligible children
from the same household must be enrolled/receive study product on the same date or
additional children in the household may be screened, enrolled, and randomized
independently after other children in the household complete the Day 56 Visit).
- Member of a household that contains another child who is, or is scheduled to be,
enrolled in another study evaluating an intranasal live-attenuated RSV vaccine, AND
there has been or will be an overlap in residency during Day 0 to 14 of that other

- any live vaccine other than rotavirus in the 28 days after, or
- another investigational vaccine or investigational drug in the 56 days after.
