4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not administer MRESVIA to individuals with a history of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of MRESVIA [see Description (11)].
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions
Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of MRESVIA.
5.2 Syncope
Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including MRESVIA. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.
5.3 Altered Immunocompetence
Immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished immune response to MRESVIA.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
In a clinical trial (NCT05127434), the most commonly reported (≥10%) adverse reactions were injection‑site pain (55.9%), fatigue (30.8%), headache (26.7%), myalgia (25.6%), arthralgia (21.7%), axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness (15.2%), and chills (11.6%).
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The safety of MRESVIA was evaluated in Study 1 (NCT05127434), a placebo-controlled, observer blinded clinical study conducted in 22 countries that includes participants from North America/ Europe, Central/Latin America, Africa and Asian/Pacific regions. A total of 18,231 participants received MRESVIA and 18,181 received saline placebo (0.5 mL).
In Study 1, the median age of the participants was 67 years (range 60‑108 years). Overall, 51.0% of the participants were male, 49.0% were female, 33.6% were Hispanic or Latino, 61.8% were White, 12.0% were Black or African American, 11.0% were Asian, 4.9% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.1% were Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 5.5% were other races, and 4.1% were Multiracial. Demographic characteristics were comparable between participants who received MRESVIA and those who received placebo.
Solicited Adverse Reactions
Local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs) were solicited in an electronic diary for 7 days following injection (i.e., the day of injection and 6 subsequent days) among participants receiving MRESVIA (n=18,160) and participants receiving placebo (n=18,098). Events that persisted for more than 7 days were followed until resolution, but not to exceed 28 days after the study injection.
The percentage of participants who reported solicited local and systemic adverse reactions are presented in Table 2 and Table 3. Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions had a median duration of 1 to 2 days.
Unsolicited Adverse Events
Incidence of unsolicited adverse events, serious adverse events, and medically attended adverse events within 28 days of vaccination were similar in the groups that received MRESVIA or placebo. Unsolicited adverse events within 28 days considered related to the study vaccination were numerically higher in the recipients of MRESVIA (5.7%) than in the placebo recipients (4.4%), primarily attributed to events that were consistent with solicited adverse reactions.
There was a numerically higher incidence of urticaria in the MRESVIA group than the placebo group within 7 days post injection (8 and 2 participants, respectively) and within 28 days post injection (15 and 5 participants, respectively).
Serious Adverse Events
The median duration of safety follow-up was 311 days (range 1 to 585 days), and 96.6% of participants had at least a 6-month follow-up duration after vaccination. SAEs throughout the study were reported by 7.8% and 7.9% of participants in the MRESVIA group and the placebo group, respectively. One participant in the MRESVIA group had an SAE of facial paralysis with onset four days after vaccination assessed as related to MRESVIA. Within 28 days and 42 days post vaccination, there was no imbalance in reports of facial paralysis (including Bell’s palsy) between treatment groups. There were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of serious adverse events that would suggest a causal relationship to MRESVIA.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
MRESVIA is not approved for use in persons younger than 60 years of age.
There are no human data to establish whether there is a vaccine-associated risk with use of MRESVIA in pregnancy.
A developmental toxicity study was performed in female rats administered a vaccine formulation that included approximately twice the amount of nucleoside-modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), encoding the same RSV fusion (F) glycoprotein stabilized in the prefusion conformation, as in MRESVIA. The vaccine formulation was administered twice prior to mating and twice during gestation. The study revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to the vaccine (see Data).
Data
Animal Data
In a developmental toxicity study, 0.2 mL of a vaccine formulation containing 96 mcg of nucleoside‑modified mRNA per dose (a full human dose of MRESVIA contains 50 mcg of nucleoside‑modified mRNA) was administered to female rats by the intramuscular route on four occasions: 28 and 14 days prior to mating, and on gestation days 1 and 13. No vaccine‑related fetal malformations or variations and no adverse effects on postnatal development were observed in the study. The developmental toxicity study revealed no evidence of impaired female fertility.
8.2 Lactation
It is not known whether MRESVIA is excreted in human milk. MRESVIA is not approved for use in persons younger than 60 years of age. No human or animal data are available to assess the effects of MRESVIA on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.
The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for MRESVIA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from MRESVIA or from the underlying maternal condition. For preventive vaccines, the underlying condition is susceptibility to disease prevented by the vaccine.
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of MRESVIA in individuals younger than 18 years of age have not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
MRESVIA is approved for use in individuals 60 years of age and older. Of the total number of participants (N = 36,412) who received MRESVIA or placebo in Study 1 (NCT05127434), 22,554 (61.9%) were 60 to 69 years of age, 10,972 (30.1%) were 70 to 79 years of age, and 2,886 (7.9%) were 80 years of age and older [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14)].
11 DESCRIPTION

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
Efficacy in Participants 60 Years of Age and Older
Study 1 (NCT05127434) is a randomized, placebo‑controlled, observer‑blind, case‑driven clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MRESVIA to prevent RSV‑LRTD in individuals 60 years of age and older with or without underlying medical conditions after receipt of a single dose of MRESVIA. Study 1 is being conducted in 22 countries and includes participants from North America/ Europe, Central/Latin America, Africa, and Asian/Pacific regions and is designed to follow participants for up to 24 months after vaccination.
Participants were randomized to a single dose of MRESVIA or placebo (in a 1:1 ratio). Randomization was stratified by age (60 to 74 years; ≥75 years) and risk factors for LRTD, which were defined as congestive heart failure (CHF) and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at screening.
The primary efficacy analysis population (Per‑Protocol Efficacy Set) included 35,064 participants who received either MRESVIA (n=17,561) or placebo (n=17,503), with a data cutoff of 30 Nov 2022. This study population included 49.1% female, 50.9% male, 63.4% White, 12.2% Black or African American, 8.7% Asian, 5.1% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 10.6% other. Among participants, 34.7% identified as Hispanic or Latino. The median age of participants was 67 years (range 60‑96 years), with 30.9% of participants between 70 and 79 years and 5.6% of participants ≥80 years. There were no notable differences in demographics or pre‑existing medical conditions between participants who received MRESVIA and those who received placebo. A total of 7.0% had protocol-defined LRTD risk factors (CHF and/or COPD) and 29.5% had one or more comorbidity of interest (COPD, asthma, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes, CHF, advanced liver disease, or advanced renal disease).
Study exclusion criteria included history of myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis within 2 months prior to screening; autoimmune conditions requiring systemic immunosuppressants (stable HIV‑positive participants were permitted); history of serious reaction to any prior vaccination. Individuals were not eligible for inclusion in the Per-Protocol Efficacy Set if they received any other vaccine within 28 days before or after administration of the study injection.
The primary efficacy endpoints were the prevention of a first episode of RSV‑LRTD with either ≥2 signs/symptoms or ≥3 signs/symptoms starting 14 days after vaccination. RSV-LRTD was defined based on the following criteria: The participant must have had RT-PCR-confirmed RSV infection and experienced new or worsening of ≥2 (or ≥3) of the following signs/symptoms for at least 24 hours: shortness of breath, cough and/or fever (≥37.8°C [100.0°F]), wheezing and/or rales and/or rhonchi, sputum production, tachypnea (≥20 breaths per minute or increase of ≥2 breaths per minute from baseline measurement in those who have baseline tachypnea), hypoxemia (new oxygen saturation ≤93% or new or increasing use of supplemental oxygen), or pleuritic chest pain. If signs/symptoms could not be captured, radiologic evidence of pneumonia with RT-PCR-confirmed RSV infection was also counted as RSV-LRTD.
The primary efficacy analyses were performed when at least 50% of targeted RSV-LRTD cases had accrued [which occurred after a median of 3.7 months of follow-up (range 15 to 379 days) when 20.2% of participants had reached 6 months of follow-up]. Both primary efficacy analyses met the predefined success criterion (lower bound of the alpha-adjusted CI of the VE was >20%). Additional analyses of efficacy were performed after a median of 8.6 months of follow-up (range 15 to 530 days) when 94.2% of participants had reached 6 months of follow-up after vaccination and met the same success criterion (lower bound of the 95% CI of the VE was >20%). Analyses of efficacy for both timepoints are presented in Table 4.
Descriptive vaccine efficacy analyses by age subgroup and for participants with at least one comorbidity are presented in Table 5.
