NCT ID NCT06355232

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine can be given together as a liquid under the tongue instead of a shot. About 100 adults will receive both vaccines over four months. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and triggers a strong immune response.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with Advax-CpG55.2 adjuvant and inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine with Advax-CpG55.2 adjuvant

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a needle-free, combined COVID-19 and flu vaccine that is easier to administer and may boost immunity at the mucosal surfaces where viruses enter.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 100 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The oral route may not trigger strong enough immune responses compared to standard shots.
