Summary

This early-stage trial tests a vaccine (OSU-2131) designed to help the immune system fight Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which can cause cancer in people with weakened immune systems. The study includes healthy volunteers and patients waiting for a solid organ transplant, who are at higher risk due to anti-rejection drugs. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response against EBV.
