What is being tested?
The trial is testing PHV02—a vaccine candidate for Nipah virus—against a placebo. Participants will receive either the vaccine or placebo to assess safety and immune response. The study includes initial vaccination and a booster cohort for previous recipients of PHV02 or placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical vaccine-related reactions such as soreness at injection site, mild fever, fatigue or allergic responses. Since it's an early-phase trial assessing safety, close monitoring for any unexpected adverse events is part of the protocol.
