New chickenpox vaccine shows promise in toddler trial
NCT ID NCT06740630
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new chickenpox vaccine in healthy children aged 12 to 15 months who have never had chickenpox or the vaccine. Researchers want to see if the new vaccine works as well as the approved Varivax vaccine and if different batches of the new vaccine produce consistent immune responses. About 1,840 children will take part, and the study is currently recruiting.
