Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant is a Japanese Adult 18-40 years of age at the time of consent who, in the opinion of the investigator, is in good health based on review of medical history and screening physical examination. Japanese participants are defined as individuals born in Japan, with both parents and 4 grandparents who were born in Japan, and who have not lived outside of Japan for more than 10 years in total.
- For the CMV-seronegative groups: Participant is serum CMV IgG negative/ IgM negative.
- For the CMV-seropositive groups: Participant is either serum CMV IgG positive/IgM negative or IgG positive/IgM positive.
- Participant has a body mass index (BMI) from ≥18 kilograms (kg)/square meter (m^2) to ≤35 kg/m^2, inclusive.
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of a diagnosis or condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, is clinically unstable or may affect participant safety, assessment of safety endpoints, assessment of immune response, or adherence to study procedures. Clinically unstable is defined as a diagnosis or condition requiring significant changes in management or medication within the 2 months prior to screening and includes ongoing workup of an undiagnosed illness that could lead to a new diagnosis or condition.
- Participant has elevated liver function tests, defined as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or elevated creatinine or reduced platelets, with a toxicity score of Grade ≥1 at screening.
- Participant has laboratory test results (hematology, chemistry, and coagulation) with a toxicity score of Grade ≥1 at screening.
Received or plans to receive any non-study vaccine <28 days prior to any study injection; in addition, the following criteria for COVID-19 and influenza vaccines apply:
i. Any COVID-19 vaccination series must have been completed a minimum of 28 days prior to receiving any dose of the study injection.
ii. COVID-19 vaccines (regardless of manufacturer) must be administered at least 28 days prior to or after any study injection.
iii. Influenza vaccines may be administered >14 days prior to or after any study injection.
- Participant has received systemic immunosuppressants or immune-modifying drugs for >14 days in total within 6 months before the day of first injection (Day 1) (for corticosteroids, >5 mg/day of prednisone equivalent) or plans to do so during the course of the study. Inhaled, nasal, and topical steroids are allowed.
- Participant has received an antiviral with activity against CMV (ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir, letermovir, acyclovir, valacyclovir) within 2 weeks before the first injection or plans to do so during the course of the study.
- Participant received any investigational CMV vaccine.
- History of myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis.
- Reported medical history of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); or a positive screening test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbSAg), hepatitis C antibodies, or HIV 1 or 2 antibodies.
Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
