Promising lyme vaccine moves to final testing phase
NCT ID NCT07226882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) in about 200 healthy adults aged 18 to 44. Participants receive five shots over two years—four of the vaccine and one of salt water—to see if different timing schedules are safe and produce a strong immune response. The goal is to find the best way to protect people from Lyme disease.
