Phase I Placebo-Controlled Study of the Infectivity, Safety and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of a Recombinant Live-Attenuated Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine, RSV 6120/∆NS2/1030s, Lot RSV#012A, Delivered as Nose Drops to RSV-Seropositive Children 12 to 59 Months of Age and RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 24 Months of Age

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the infectivity, safety, and immunogenicity of a
single dose of a recombinant, live-attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine (RSV
6120/∆NS2/1030s) in RSV-seropositive children 12 to 59 months of age and RSV-seronegative
infants and children 6 to 24 months of age.

This study will evaluate the infectivity, safety, and immunogenicity of a single dose of a
recombinant, live-attenuated RSV vaccine (RSV 6120/∆NS2/1030s) in RSV-seropositive children
12 to 59 months of age and RSV-seronegative infants and children 6 to 24 months of age.

The vaccine will be evaluated in a stepwise fashion beginning in RSV-seropositive children
(Group 1), and then in RSV-seronegative infants and children (Group 2). In each group,
participants will be randomly assigned to receive a single dose of RSV 6120/∆NS2/1030s
vaccine or placebo at study entry (Day 0).

Participants will be enrolled in the study between April 1 and October 31, outside of the RSV
season. Group 1 (RSV-seropositive children) will be followed for 28 days. Group 2
(RSV-seronegative infants and children) will remain on study until they complete the post-RSV
season visit between April 1 and April 30 in the calendar year following enrollment.

The expected initial study duration will be 28 days for Group 1 participants and between 6
and 13 months for Group 2 participants, depending on when they enroll in the study. Group 2
participants may participate in an optional second season of RSV surveillance during November
to March of the second year following enrollment. The expected study duration for these Group
2 participants will be up to 25 months.

Study visits for all participants may include clinical assessments, blood collection, and
nasal washes. Additionally, participants' parents or guardians will be contacted by study
staff at various times during the study to monitor participants' health.
