Scientists test Single-Dose nasal spray to shield newborns from whooping cough

NCT ID NCT01188512

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety and immune response of a new, genetically modified whooping cough vaccine given as a single nasal spray. It involved 48 healthy adult male volunteers to see if the vaccine was well-tolerated and triggered an immune reaction. The ultimate goal is to develop a vaccine that could protect very young infants, who are most vulnerable, before they start their regular vaccination schedule.
