NCT ID NCT05082285
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new combination vaccine designed to protect healthy infants against five types of meningococcal bacteria (A, B, C, W, and Y) that can cause serious infections like meningitis. Over 700 infants received different doses or combinations of the vaccine to check safety and immune response. The goal is to see if this combined shot can offer broad protection with fewer injections.
