Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The vaccine will be evaluated in four groups of participants: healthy adults; HMPV-seropositive children; and two groups of HMPV-seronegative infants and children, with each seronegative group receiving a different dose of the vaccine. In the adult group, participants will all receive the vaccine; in the infant and children groups, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the vaccine or a placebo. Study researchers will review participants' study data and confirm the safety of the vaccine before enrolling the next group of participants.
This study will first enroll healthy adults. At a baseline study visit, all participants will undergo a medical history review, physical examination, nasal wash procedure, vital sign measurements, and a blood collection. They will then receive the vaccine, and they will remain in the clinic for 30 minutes for observation. Participants will record their temperature daily for 12 days. Additional study visits will occur at Days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 12. At each study visit, participants will undergo a medical history review, vital sign measurements, and a nasal wash procedure. A final study visit will occur on Day 28 and will also include a blood collection. The second group of participants will include seropositive children. They will receive the vaccine or a placebo vaccine and take part in the same study procedures as the adult participants. Participants' parents will receive telephone calls or e-mails from study staff on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 11, and 13 to obtain and record medical history and temperature readings. The third and fourth groups of participants will include seronegative infants and children. Each of these two groups will receive different doses of the vaccine or placebo vaccine. They will attend study visits on Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 28, and 56, and they will undergo the same study procedures as the other participants. Parents of seronegative infants and children will receive telephone calls or e-mails from study staff on Days 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22 to 27, and 29.
Study staff will call all participants at Month 6 for a medical history review and follow up.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
