New antiviral shot could boost flu protection when given with vaccine
NCT ID NCT07300085
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether a new long-acting antiviral medicine called CD388 can be safely given at the same time as the high-dose flu vaccine. About 100 healthy adults aged 18 to 49 will receive either the vaccine plus CD388 or the vaccine plus a placebo. Researchers will check if CD388 interferes with the body's immune response to the vaccine and monitor for any side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fluzone High-Dose influenza vaccine and CD388 (a long-acting antiviral)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining a long-acting antiviral with the flu vaccine is safe and doesn't reduce vaccine effectiveness, potentially offering better flu prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (phase 1) and small trial (100 healthy adults), so results may not apply to older or sicker people. The main goal is safety and immune response, not proof of preventing flu.
