This study evaluates an investigational vaccine that is designed to protect humans against infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and is administered as drops in the nose. Specifically, the study analyzes the safety of, and the immune response to, the vaccine when administered to healthy children between the ages of 15 and 59 months who are seropositive to RSV.

Solicited adverse events (AEs)
Frequency of solicited AEs will be measured, categorized by severity. Solicited AEs are predefined AEs that may occur after investigational vaccine administration
Time frame: Immediate post-vaccination period
Unsolicited AEs
Frequency of unsolicited AEs will be measured, categorized by severity. Unsolicited AEs are any untoward medical occurrences in a participant administered the investigational vaccine, regardless of causal relationship to the investigational vaccine. Unsolicited AEs can include unfavorable and unintended signs (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptoms, or diseases temporally associated with the use of the investigational vaccine.
Time frame: Immediate post-vaccination period
Serious adverse events (SAEs)
Frequency of SAEs will be measured, categorized by vaccine-relatedness. SAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the investigational vaccine or not, that threaten life or result in any of the following: death, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Time frame: Full study duration, an average of 6 months
Medically attended adverse events (MAEs)
Frequency of MAEs will be measured, categorized by vaccine-relatedness. MAEs are AEs, whether considered causally related to the investigational vaccine or not, with unscheduled medically attended visits, such as urgent care visits, acute primary care visits, emergency department visits, or other previously unplanned visits to a medical provider. Scheduled medical visits such as routine physicals, wellness checks, 'check-ups', and vaccinations, are not considered MAEs.
Time frame: Full study duration, an average of 6 months

Single dose administered intranasally on Day 1
Change in serum RSV-specific neutralizing antibody titers
Change in serum RSV-specific neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers will be measured per participant.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks
Change in serum binding (RSV F-specific) antibody titers
Change in serum binding (RSV F-specific) antibody titers will be measured per participant.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks
Change in nasal mucosal binding (RSV F-specific) antibody titers
Change in mucosal binding (RSV F-specific) antibody titers will be measured per participant.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of six (6) weeks
Potential vaccine virus shedding: frequency
Frequency of any post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus (as detected by viral culture) will be measured per dosage group and overall.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of four (4) weeks
Potential vaccine virus shedding: magnitude
If post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus is detected by culture, peak viral titer (measured in plaque forming units, PFU) will be measured per dosage group and overall.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of four (4) weeks
Potential vaccine virus shedding: duration
If post-vaccination shedding of vaccine virus is detected by culture, duration of shedding (in days) will be measured per dosage group and overall.
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28, an average of four (4) weeks
