First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new vaccine called VLP Peanut in 46 healthy adults and people with peanut allergy. The goal is to see if it is safe and tolerable, and to get an early look at whether it might reduce allergic reactions. Participants receive injections of the vaccine or a placebo, and researchers monitor side effects and immune responses.
