NCT ID NCT06113198

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

Summary

This study tests the MenB+OMV NZ vaccine in 50 healthy infants starting at 2 months old in South Korea. The vaccine is given as three shots over about a year to see if it triggers a strong immune response against meningococcal group B bacteria, which can cause meningitis. Researchers will also monitor for any side effects. The goal is to confirm the vaccine works well and is safe for this age group in Korea.
