Scientists infect volunteers with hookworms to pave way for vaccine
NCT ID NCT01940757
Summary
This study aims to help develop a future hookworm vaccine by first creating a safe, controlled infection model. Healthy adult volunteers who have never had hookworm will have a small number of larvae applied to their skin to see how their bodies react. Researchers will monitor safety and track the infection to find the best dose for later vaccine testing, and all participants will receive medication to clear the infection.
