Study Details

Testing the Drug mRNA-1345 to Protect Infants from RSV

(IRB#: IRB_00169145)

RSV is a virus that infects the lungs and respiratory tract - the parts of the body related to breathing. It can cause a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fever. RSV can lead to serious respiratory tract problems like pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Infants under 6 months of age are at the greatest risk of having severe RSV. This study will test whether vaccinating pregnant women with a study drug called mRNA-1345 helps prevent RSV disease in their babies. People who are pregnant in the study will be randomly chosen to be treated with mRNA-1345 or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the active drug. Participation in the study lasts about 15 months. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants.
