a study of adenovirus serotype 26.respiratory syncytial virus.pre-fusion f (ad26.rsv.pref)-based vaccine for prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) mediated- lower respiratory tract disease (lrtd) in japanese participants

Conditions: Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prevention

Summary: the purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of study vaccine in the prevention of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr)-confirmed rsv mediated- lower respiratory tract disease (lrtd) over one rsv season when compared to placebo in adults aged 60 years and above and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine in high-risk adults aged 20 to 59 years versus in adults aged 60 years and older in terms of humoral immune response.
