NCT ID NCT07394426
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new vaccine called PepGNP-ChikV, made from tiny synthetic particles, to see if it is safe and triggers an immune response against chikungunya virus. Forty healthy adults aged 18 to 60 will receive two doses 42 days apart. The study focuses on safety and side effects, with a final check one year after the last dose.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new type of vaccine that trains the immune system to fight chikungunya virus.
