New dengue vaccine shows promise in Head-to-Head trial

NCT ID NCT05710224

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new dengue vaccine called V181 against an existing one (Butantan-DV) in 1,364 healthy adults aged 18 to 50 in Brazil. The goal was to see if V181 is as safe and triggers a similar immune response. Results showed V181 was safe and produced comparable antibody levels for all four dengue virus types.

What this could mean

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an additional safe and effective dengue vaccine option for adults in Brazil and other regions.
