New tetanus shot enters human safety testing
NCT ID NCT07149454
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new lab-made antibody injection against tetanus in 68 healthy adults aged 18-60. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, not to treat or prevent tetanus directly. Participants receive a single shot and are monitored for several weeks.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form (ICF); 2. Aged 18-60 years (inclusive) at the time of ICF signing, regardless of gender, with valid legal identification; 3. Body weight ≥45.0 kg for female participants and ≥50.0 kg for male participants, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 28.0 kg/m² (inclusive) (BMI = weight \[kg\]/height \[m²\]); 4. Female participants of childbearing potential must have no plans for pregnancy or egg donation during the trial and for 6 months after investigational product administration and must voluntarily use at least one effective contraceptive method. Male participants must have no plans for pregnancy or sperm donation during the trial and for 6 months after investigational product administration, and either the male participant or his female partner of childbearing potential must voluntarily use at least one effective contraceptive method. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known allergy to the investigational product (including excipients or similar drugs), or documented hypersensitivity to essential materials used in the trial (e.g., skin disinfectants); or history of severe allergic diseases, hypersensitivity to monoclonal antibodies, or allergic constitution deemed by investigators to compromise participant safety; 2. Acute/chronic medical conditions that may significantly affect drug metabolism or safety assessments per investigator judgment; 3. History of autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiency disorders (including HIV-positive screening); 4. Chronic hepatitis B/C (HBsAg or HCV antibody-positive during screening); 5. History/family history of seizures, epilepsy, or neuropsychiatric disorders; 6. Major surgery within 3 months (90 days) prior to dosing, or planned surgery during the trial; 7. Prior tetanus infection or use of passive tetanus immunoglobulins within 6 months (180 days) before dosing; 8. Tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccination (e.g., DTaP, Td, meningococcal conjugate vaccines) within 10 years; 9. Positive tetanus IgG rapid test during screening; 10. Receipt of live/inactivated vaccines within 1 month (30 days) before dosing or planned vaccination during the trial; 11. Systemic corticosteroids/immunosuppressants within 3 months (90 days) (excluding inhaled/topical use); 12. Prescription/OTC/herbal medications within 14 days or \<5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to dosing, particularly those interfering with the investigational monoclonal antibody's PK/safety (per criterion #11 for exceptions); 13. Participation in other clinical trials involving investigational drugs/devices within 3 months (90 days) or planned concurrent enrollment; 14. Excessive alcohol intake (\>14 units/week; 1 unit = 360 mL beer/45 mL 40% liquor/150 mL wine), alcohol use within 48 hours pre-dose, or positive breathalyzer test; 15. Heavy smoking (\>10 cigarettes/day or equivalent) within 1 month (30 days); 16. Blood loss/donation \>400 mL within 3 months (90 days) or planned donation/transfusion during the trial; 17. Inability to avoid strenuous exercise within 14 days post-dosing; 18. Substance abuse history or positive drug screening; 19. Positive syphilis antibody test during screening; 20. Clinically significant abnormalities in screening assessments (e.g., ALT \>1.5×ULN, creatinine \>ULN, neutrophils \<1.5×10⁹/L, platelets \<100×10⁹/L, hemoglobin \<100 g/L); 21. Pregnant/lactating women or positive pregnancy test; 22. Needle phobia, poor venous access, or intolerance to venipuncture; 23. Any other condition deemed by investigators to preclude compliance or safe participation.
