Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) cause respiratory tract illness in children and the elderly. No licensed vaccines are available. Methods In this phase 1, randomized, dose-ranging, first-in-human study, the safety, reactogenicity, and humoral immunogenicity of an investigational mRNA-based hMPV and PIV3 combination vaccine, mRNA-1653, were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18–49 years. Sentinel participants (n = 20) received 2 doses of mRNA-1653 (25, 75, 150, or 300 μg) in the dose escalation phase, and participants (n = 104) received 2 doses of mRNA-1653 (75, 150, or 300 μg) or placebo in the dose selection phase; injections were 28 days apart. Results The most common solicited reactogenicity events were injection site pain, headache, fatigue, and myalgia, the majority of which were grade 1 or 2. A single mRNA-1653 dose increased neutralization titers against hMPV and PIV3 1 month after vaccination compared with baseline. No notable increases in neutralizing antibody titers were observed with escalating dose levels after mRNA-1653, although no statistical inferences were made; a second mRNA-1653 dose had little observable impact on antibody titers. Neutralizing titers through 1 year remained above baseline for hMPV and returned to baseline for PIV3. Conclusions mRNA-1653 was well tolerated, with an acceptable safety profile and increased hMPV and PIV3 neutralization titers in healthy adults.
