Experimental: Cohort 3: high dose - IM injection on Day 0 (12 active, 3 placebo); with follow up at 7 days ± 1 day post vaccination and at Day 30 ± 5 days and a final follow up/end of study (EOS) teleconference assessment at Day 60 ± 5 days.

Placebo comparator: Cohort 4: high dose - IM injection on Day 0 (12 active, 3 placebo); with follow up at 7 days ± 1 day post vaccination and at Day 30 ± 5 days and a final follow up/end of study (EOS) teleconference assessment at Day 60 ± 5 days.


Treatment: Other: Respiratory Syncytial Vaccine
BARS13 low dose (one dose of 10 µg rRSV-G protein/10 µg CsA by IM injection to the deltoid region of one arm, and one dose of placebo \[saline/mannitol\] by IM injection to the deltoid region of the other arm, given sequentially).

Treatment: Other: Respiratory Syncytial Vaccine
BARS13 high dose (IM injection of 10 µg rRSV-G protein/10 µg CsA administered to the deltoid region of each arm \[one injection of 10 µg rRSV-G protein/10 µg CsA per arm\], given sequentially). The high dose is twice the strength of the low dose.

Treatment: Other: Placebo
Placebo (IM injection of saline/mannitol administered to the deltoid region of each arm \[one injection per arm\], given sequentially).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* 1. A male or female aged 18-45 years (inclusive) at the time of the first vaccination.

2. Able to communicate effectively with study personnel and is considered reliable, willing, and cooperative in terms of compliance with the protocol requirements.

3. Written informed consent signed prior to undertaking any protocol related procedures.

4. Haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis test results not deviating from the normal reference range by age and gender to a clinically relevant extent at screening.

5. Males must be surgically sterile (>30 days since vasectomy with no viable sperm), abstinent or, if engaged in sexual relations with a person of child-bearing potential, the participant and his partner must use an acceptable, highly effective, contraceptive method from screening and for a period of at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Acceptable methods of contraception are the use of condoms and an effective contraceptive for the female partner that could include: surgical sterilization (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation), hormonal contraception, or intrauterine contraception/device. The PI is to assess the adequacy of methods of contraception on a case-by-case basis.

6. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must use highly effective contraceptive measures (failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly) throughout the study and intend to continue use of contraception for at least 3 months following the last vaccination. Highly effective contraceptive measures could include: combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner, and sexual abstinence. The PI is to assess the adequacy of methods of contraception on a case-by-case basis.

7. Participant in otherwise general good health based on medical history and physical examination, as determined by the PI.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
45 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
* 1. Presence of clinically significant medical history, unstable chronic or acute disease, or physical, or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the PI may potentially increase the expected risk of exposure to the investigational vaccine, compromise the safety of the participant, or interfere with any aspect of study conduct or interpretation of results.

2. Body Mass Index (BMI) great than or equal to 40 at screening. 3. Significant infection or other acute illness, including fever over 37.5°C/99.5°F on the day of randomisation.

4. Birthmarks, tattoos, wound or other skin conditions over the deltoid region of both arms that, in the PI's opinion, could reasonably obscure and interfere with evaluation of local injection site reactions.

5. Inadequate venous access to allow collection of blood samples. 6. Breastfeeding or pregnant as confirmed by a positive serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (.-HCG) pregnancy test at screening or positive urine pregnancy test at subsequent clinic visits at time points as delineated in the study schedule.

7. Received any prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine, or investigational drug, within 3 months of first vaccination, or anticipated in the follow up period defined for this study.

8. History of severe allergy (requiring hospital care), severe reaction to any drug or prior vaccination, or any known or suspected allergies or sensitivities to any component of the investigational vaccine or placebo.

9. Immunosuppression caused by disease (such as human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]) or medications, immunosuppressive therapy (such as long-term systemic corticosteroids therapy).

10. History of hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection. 11. History of autoimmune disorder. 12. History of splenectomy or of condition affecting splenic function. 13. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localised basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past five years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.

14. History of any neurological disorders or seizures. 15. Thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorder contraindicating intramuscular vaccination.

16. Receipt of immunoglobulins or blood products within 3 months of first vaccination.

17. Requirement for antipyretic or analgesic medication on a daily or every other day basis from randomisation through 72 hours after vaccination.

18. History of alcohol or drug abuse or psychiatric disorder that in the opinion of the PI could affect the participants' safety or compliance with study.

19. Positive urine drug screen at screening, or pre-vaccination for any drug of abuse unless there is an explanation acceptable to the PI (e.g. the participant stated in advance that they consumed a prescription or over the counter product which contained the detected drug) and/or the participant had a negative urine drug screen on retest by the pathology laboratory.

20. A positive alcohol breathalyser test at screening or pre-vaccination. 21. Participant unwilling to abstain from blood donation during the course of the study, and/or participation in any research study involving blood sampling (more than 450 mL /unit of blood), or blood donation to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) or other blood bank during the 2 months prior to the screening visit.
