NCT ID NCT06120751
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether a single dose of an experimental tetanus vaccine is safe and triggers a protective immune response in adults aged 18 and older. Participants will receive either the new vaccine or a control vaccine, and researchers will measure antibody levels and monitor for side effects. The goal is to see if this vaccine could be a reliable way to prevent tetanus.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an experimental adsorbed tetanus vaccine (TTVA)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safe and effective option for protecting adults against tetanus, a serious bacterial infection.
- What could go wrong
- As with any vaccine, there is a risk of side effects, and the immune response may not be strong enough. This is a single trial, and results need confirmation.
