NCT ID NCT07779408

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing an experimental vaccine against H5N8, a type of bird flu, in healthy adults aged 18 and older. The vaccine is made using eggs and is given as two shots, with or without an adjuvant—a substance that may boost the immune response. The study aims to see if the vaccine is safe and how well it triggers the body's defenses against the virus. Participants will be monitored for about 14 months to track side effects and antibody levels.

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 egg-based H5N8 influenza vaccine, given with or without an adjuvant (Matrix-M) to boost immune response.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help develop a vaccine to protect against future H5N8 flu outbreaks, potentially reducing pandemic risk.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial, so the vaccine may not produce a strong enough immune response or may cause side effects. Results from this small study may not predict real-world effectiveness.
