Scientists try old vaccine to stop new STI
NCT ID NCT05294588
Summary
This study tested if a vaccine already approved to prevent meningitis (Bexsero) could also protect against gonorrhea. Researchers gave healthy male volunteers either the meningitis vaccine or standard flu/tetanus shots, then exposed them to the gonorrhea bacteria in a controlled setting to see who got infected. The goal was to see if this existing vaccine could be repurposed to help prevent a common sexually transmitted infection.
