Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Area Under the Viral Load-time Curve (VL AUC)

    VL AUC for RSV-A Memphis 37b will be determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase -polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay of nasal wash. The VL AUC will be calculated based on the viral load values measured 2 times per day, starting with the last value prior to first dosing, and ending with the last available value before discharge.

    up to Follow-up (Day 28)

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Area Under the Viral Load-time Curve (VL AUC) Determined by Plaque Forming Unit (PFU) Assay

    Baseline up to Follow-up (Day 28)

  • Viral Load Over Time

    Baseline up to Follow-up (Day 28)

  • Peak Viral Load

    Baseline up to Follow-up (Day 28)

  • Time To Peak Viral Load

    Baseline up to Follow-up (Day 28)

  • Area Under the Viral Load-time Curve (VL AUC) From Time 0 to 24 Hours after First Dose

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Female participants must be of non-childbearing potential: postmenopausal for at least 2 years or surgically sterile or otherwise incapable of becoming pregnant
  • Female participants, except for postmenopausal women, must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening
  • Participants must agree to comply with contraceptive measures as mentioned in protocol
  • Participants must be sero-suitable for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) within 57 days prior to inoculation
  • Participants must be non-smokers for at least one month prior to screening and participants must have a negative cotinine test at screening

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants with a past history of heart arrhythmias (extrasystoli, tachycardia at rest) or of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes syndrome
  • Participants with a history or evidence of abuse of alcohol, barbiturates, amphetamines, recreational or narcotic drug use within the past 3 months, which in the Investigator's opinion would compromise participant's safety and/or compliance with the study procedures
  • Participants with current human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) or HIV-2 infection at screening
  • Participants with current hepatitis A infection, or hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (confirmed by HCV antibody) at screening
