Multiple active vaccination approaches have proven ineffective in reducing the significant morbidity and mortality caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants and the elderly. A vaccine conferring a substantial and sustainable boost in neutralizing activity is likely required to protect against severe RSV disease. In a randomized open-label phase 1 clinical trial, the stabilized prefusion F vaccine DS-Cav1 was evaluated for dose, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in healthy adults at a single US site. Participants were randomized at a 1:1 ratio (with or without aluminum hydroxide per dose group) to receive escalating doses of 50 mcg, 150 mcg, or 500 mcg DS-Cav1 at weeks 0 and 12. A subset of subjects received only a single vaccination at week 0. The primary objectives evaluated the safety and tolerability at every dose level, and neutralizing activity and RSV F-binding antibodies were evaluated through week 44 as secondary and exploratory objectives. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03049488, and is complete and no longer recruiting. Between February 2017 and November 2018, 244 participants were screened for eligibility and 95 were enrolled to receive DS-Cav1 at the 50 mcg (n=30), 150 (n=35), or 500 mcg (n=30) dose level. DS-Cav1 was safe and well-tolerated and no serious vaccine-associated adverse events deemed related to the vaccine were identified. DS-Cav1 vaccination elicited robust neutralizing activity and binding antibodies after a single dose. At week 44, F-specific antibody levels and neutralizing activity were significantly increased compared to baseline in all groups. While a higher vaccine dose or second immunization elicited a transient advantage compared to lower doses or a single immunization, neither significantly impacted long-term neutralization. DS-Cav1 vaccination elicited a robust boost in RSV F-specific antibodies and neutralizing activity that was sustained above baseline for at least ten months. There was no long-term impact of dose, number of vaccinations, or adjuvant on neutralizing activity, indicating that a single low-dose of pre-F immunization of antigen-experienced individuals may confer protection that extends through an entire RSV season.
