This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

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.

Summary

This study tests a new pentavalent meningococcal vaccine (MenPenta) that aims to protect against five types of meningococcal bacteria (A, B, C, W, Y) in healthy children, toddlers, and infants. Researchers will compare it to existing licensed vaccines and check how well it works when given alone or with routine childhood shots. The trial involves 750 participants across three age groups and will monitor immune response and side effects for up to 19 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pentavalent Meningococcal ABCYW vaccine (MenPenta)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a single vaccine that protects against five major types of meningococcal disease, simplifying childhood immunization schedules.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study (phase 1/2) with only 750 participants, so results may not confirm broad effectiveness or safety. The vaccine may not produce a strong enough immune response in all age groups.
