First-in-Human test of DNA shot aims to train immune system against hepatitis c

NCT ID NCT02772003

Summary

This is an early-stage safety study testing a new type of DNA vaccine designed to help the body's immune system fight chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The trial will enroll 33 adults with a specific type of HCV (genotype 1) to determine safe doses and see if the vaccine triggers an immune response. Researchers will monitor for side effects and check if the vaccine reduces the amount of virus in the blood.
