(STRIVE)

View original scientific description
This clinical trial is being done to learn more about how well a vaccine (Arexvy®) for respiratory syncytial virus, also known as RSV, works in people with weakened immune systems. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does 1 or 2 doses of Arexvy work better in people with weakened immune systems? * What medical problems do participants have after receiving Arexvy? Participants with weakened immune systems will: * Receive 3 study vaccines over the course of 1 year * Keep a diary of symptoms for 7 days after each vaccine * Have 3 in-person follow up study visits for checkups and tests over the course of 1.5 years * Have 6 phone follow up study visits over the course of 1.

Primary outcome measures
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) (ED60 RSV A and B)
Time frame: At 30 days post 1st and 2nd dose in Arm 1 and Arm 2
Immune response elicited by adjuvanted RSVPreF3 (Arexvy) in immunocompromised adults as determined by titers of neutralizing antibody estimated dilution 60 (ED60) against RSV A and B
Immune response elicited by adjuvanted RSVPreF3 (Arexvy) in immunocompromised adults as determined by titers of neutralizing antibody ED60 against RSV A and B
Time frame: At 30 days post 2nd dose (Arm 2) and 30 days post 1st dose (Arm 1)
Mean Geometric Increase (MGI): Geometric mean of individual ratio of post-vaccine ED60 of RSV A and B over baseline titer (also called Geometric Mean Fold Rise \[GMFR\])
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Able to understand and provide informed consent
- Willing and able to comply with the requirements and restrictions in the protocol, including study visits and study-related procedures
- Medically stable in the opinion of the Investigator at the time of first study vaccination
- Life expectancy ≥ 365 days in the opinion of the Investigator at the time of first study vaccination
- Included in at least one of the groups below:
- Cellular therapy recipients (CTR):
- Individuals ≥ 18 years of age at the time of first study vaccination
- History of at least one of the following: i. Autologous stem cell transplant received more than 90 days prior to first study vaccination, ii. Allogeneic stem cell transplant received more than 90 days prior to first study vaccination, iii. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy received more than 90 days prior to first study vaccination
- Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR):
- Individuals ≥ 18 years of age at the time of first study vaccination
- Received an ABO-compatible, single-organ type, solid organ transplant (lung, heart, kidney, liver) at least 90 days prior to first study vaccination, and are on at least 2 systemic immunosuppressive agents at time of first study vaccination
- Healthy comparator (HC):
- Individuals ≥ 60 years of age at the time of first study vaccination or 50-59 years of age at the time of first study vaccination and at increased risk of severe RSV disease
- No history of (a) or (b) above, and considered healthy or with chronic and stable medical conditions in the opinion of the Investigator, without immune compromise
- Participants of childbearing potential if practicing adequate contraception or abstinence from 1 month prior to first study vaccination and agree to continue adequate contraception or abstinence through at least 1 month after last study vaccination. All participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test on the day of first study vaccination, prior to administration.
Exclusion criteria
- Known history of hypersensitivity to any vaccine or history of a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine
- Previous vaccination with any licensed or investigational RSV vaccine
- Acute or chronic clinically significant/unstable neurological disease (such as uncontrolled seizures, strokes, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
- Vaccination with any inactivated, subunit, or split influenza vaccine or COVID-19 vaccine within 14 days prior to first study vaccination, or vaccination with any other licensed or investigational vaccine within 30 days prior to first study vaccination
- Receipt of investigational or approved monoclonal antibodies against RSV within 90 days prior to first study vaccination
- Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (in opinion of the Investigator) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C \[≥ 100.4°F\]) on the day of first study vaccination. A prospective participant should not be enrolled in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided.
- Any medical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe
- Receipt of immunoglobulins or plasma products within 90 days prior to first study vaccination
- Receipt of B-cell depleting medications (e.g., Rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, belimumab, epratuzumab, antithymocyte globulin) within 90 days prior to first study vaccination
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, discontinue contraception, or breastfeed during the study period
- Any of the following:
- Cellular therapy recipients (CTR):
- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) requiring systemic treatment with at least 0.5 mg/kg per day of prednisone or equivalent at time of first study vaccine
- Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR):
- History of any of the following within 90 days prior to first study vaccination: allograft rejection, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, treatment for either of these conditions
- Healthy comparator (HC):
- Any confirmed/suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition resulting from disease or immunosuppressive or cytotoxic therapy, based on medical history
- Any other conditions which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the individual's ability to comply with study requirements or may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
