Summary
This study tests a new medicine called siltartoxatug to prevent tetanus in people who have been injured. About 6,000 adults in China will receive either the new drug or a standard tetanus shot. Researchers will check how well each treatment prevents tetanus over 90 days and monitor for side effects.
