NCT ID NCT07297186
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed Phase 3 trial tested a new Sabin strain inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV) in 1200 healthy infants aged 2 months. The study compared the new vaccine to a standard polio vaccine to see if it was safe and triggered a strong immune response. The goal is to offer a more affordable and safer option to help eliminate polio worldwide.
