One shot, six protections: could a single vaccine replace multiple infant shots?
NCT ID NCT06947499
First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new vaccine called LBVD, which combines protection against six diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio, and Hib. The study enrolls healthy infants around 6 to 8 weeks old who receive three doses at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. Researchers compare LBVD to giving two separate vaccines at the same visits. The goal is to see if the single vaccine triggers a strong immune response and is safe, and to check that different batches of the vaccine work consistently.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LBVD, a fully liquid hexavalent vaccine that combines protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, polio, and Hib into one shot
- What this could lead to
- If successful, LBVD could simplify infant immunization by replacing multiple shots with one vaccine, potentially improving coverage and reducing discomfort.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is in phase II/III, so it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness. The vaccine may not produce a strong enough immune response or could cause side effects.
