Evaluating the Infectivity, Safety, and Immunogenicity of a Recombinant Live-Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine in RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 24 Months of Age

• Greater than or equal to 6 months (greater than or equal to 180 days) of age at the time of screening and less than 25 months (less than 750 days) of age
• Participant is in good health based on review of the medical record, history, and physical examination, without evidence of chronic disease
• Parents/guardians are willing and able to provide written informed consent
• 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 inoculation

• Is growing at a normal velocity for age as demonstrated on a standard growth chart AND

  • If less than 1 year of age: has a current height and weight above the 5th percentile
  • If 1 year of age or older: has a current height and weight above the 3rd percentile for age
• Participant has received routine immunizations appropriate for age (as per Center for Disease Control Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP])
• Participant is expected to be available for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Major congenital malformations (such as congenital cleft palate) or cytogenetic abnormalities
• Previous receipt of a licensed or investigational RSV vaccine or receipt of placebo in this study or previous receipt of or planned administration of any anti-RSV product (such as ribavirin or RSV IG)
• Previous anaphylactic reaction
• Previous vaccine-associated adverse reaction that was Grade 3 or above
• Known hypersensitivity to any study product component
• Heart disease. Note: Participants with cardiac abnormalities documented to be clinically insignificant and requiring no treatment may be enrolled.
• Lung disease, including any history of reactive airway disease or medically documented wheezing
• Member of a household that contains, or will contain, an infant who is less than 6 months of age at the enrollment date through Day 28
• Member of a household that contains another child who is, or is scheduled to be, enrolled in CIR 311, 312 or 313 AND there has been or will be an overlap in residency during that other child's participation in the study's Acute Phase (Days 0 to 28)

• Member of a household that contains an immunocompromised individual, including but not limited to:

  • a person who is HIV infected
  • a person who has received chemotherapy within the 12 months prior to enrollment
  • a person receiving immunosuppressant agents
  • a person living with a solid organ or bone marrow transplant
