NCT ID NCT07203755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new vaccine that combines protection against several serious childhood diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, meningitis, and Hib. The study involves 260 children aged 2 months to 6 years to check the vaccine's safety and immune response. Researchers are comparing different doses and a placebo to find the best approach.
