Will a single DTP vaccine dose protect for a decade? study tracks antibodies
NCT ID NCT07744347
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 160 people who previously received a 5-component DTP vaccine (protecting against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) to see how long their immune protection lasts. Blood samples are taken at 2.5, 5, and 10 years after vaccination to measure antibody levels. The goal is to understand the duration of vaccine-induced immunity, which could inform future booster recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Blood sample collection to measure immune response after prior vaccination with a 5-component acellular pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus (DTP) vaccine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help determine how long protection from the DTP vaccine lasts, guiding future booster shot schedules.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a test of a new treatment. Results depend on participants returning for blood draws over 10 years, and antibody levels may not directly predict real-world protection.

Who is studied
This clinical trial includes 160 participants who previously took part in the Phase I clinical trial of the adsorbed acellular pentavalent (five-component) DTP-polio combination vaccine (for individuals aged 6 years and older) (Protocol No.: CTP-Tdcp-001). For the immunopersistence study, approximately 3-4 mL of venous blood will be collected from each participant 2.5 years, 5 years, and 10 years after vaccination.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants in the 6-11-year-old, 12-17-year-old, and ≥18-year-old groups from the Phase I clinical trial of the adsorbed acellular pentavalent (five-component) DTP-polio combined vaccine (for individuals aged 6 and older) (Protocol No.: CTP-Tdcp-001) who were included in the protocol-defined analysis set; * Willingness to provide identification documents; * Informed consent must be obtained from the trial participant and/or guardian and/or authorized representative, and the informed consent form must be signed; * The trial participant and/or guardian and/or authorized representative must be able and willing to comply with the requirements of the clinical study protocol and be able to complete the full course of study follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Received another DTP-type vaccine after completing the CTP-Tdcp-001 study; * Developed a DTP-related illness since the completion of the CTP-Tdcp-001 study; * Has a coagulation disorder; * In the investigator's judgment, the participant has any other factors that make them unsuitable for participation in the clinical trial.
