Scientists test new hookworm vaccine on volunteers
NCT ID NCT03172975
Summary
This study tested different versions of an experimental hookworm vaccine in healthy adults who had never had hookworm. Participants received three vaccine shots or a placebo, and were later exposed to a small, controlled dose of hookworm larvae to see if the vaccine prevented infection. Researchers measured safety, immune responses, and whether the vaccine reduced hookworm eggs in stool samples.
