New e. coli vaccine enters first human safety trial
NCT ID NCT07122986
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Pfizer is testing several experimental vaccines designed to protect against E. coli bacteria. This early-stage study involves 310 healthy adults aged 18 to 64. The main goal is to check if the vaccines are safe and tolerable, not yet whether they work. Participants will receive two shots six months apart and be monitored for side effects like injection-site pain, fever, and fatigue.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- E. coli vaccine
- What this could lead to
- If this vaccine proves safe and effective, it could help prevent E. coli infections, which can cause severe diarrhea and kidney damage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused only on safety in healthy adults. It is too soon to know if the vaccine actually prevents infection, and side effects are possible.
