Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests a new recombinant polio vaccine (rPV) against the current standard IPOL vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 to 60. The goal is to see if the new vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response. It is a small, early-stage study to gather initial data.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Recombinant Poliomyelitis Vaccine (rPV)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more modern, potentially easier-to-produce polio vaccine to help maintain global polio immunity.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1 trial with only 36 healthy adults, so safety and immune response are still being tested. The vaccine may not work as well as the current one or could have unexpected side effects.
