Could a Plant-Based vaccine beat the flu?
NCT ID NCT07291635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new seasonal flu vaccine made from plants, called TVLP, in 728 adults aged 18 and older. The vaccine is compared to a standard flu shot to see if it is safe and triggers a strong immune response. The goal is to find the best dose for future development.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Plant-based seasonal flu vaccine (recombinant trivalent VLP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, plant-based option for seasonal flu vaccination, potentially faster to produce and more scalable than traditional egg-based vaccines.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1/2 trial, so safety and immune response are still being tested. The vaccine may not work as well as existing flu shots, and side effects are unknown at this stage.
