First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests two experimental vaccines (BNT164a1 and BNT164b1) to see if they are safe and trigger an immune response against tuberculosis. About 500 healthy adults who have already received the BCG vaccine will receive three doses of either a vaccine or a placebo. The goal is to find the best dose for future larger studies.
