Study Summary

This trial is to study how safe and effective two different types of vaccine are against strep A infection in healthy adults.

Who is the study for?
Healthy adults aged 18-45, non-smokers with good health as confirmed by medical screening. Participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use effective birth control, and have up-to-date vaccinations for influenza and COVID-19. They should not have a recent history of streptococcal infection or immunosuppressive therapy, nor plan to travel overseas soon after vaccination.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and immune response of two experimental vaccines (p*17-K4S2, J8-K4S2) against Group A Streptococcus compared to an existing Rabavert vaccine. Healthy participants will receive injections in their arm and their antibody levels will be monitored.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions at the injection site such as pain, redness or swelling; general symptoms like fever or fatigue; allergic responses; and possibly other mild systemic effects that are common with vaccinations.

Are elderly patients being accepted into this trial?

"The age limit for this trial is 45 years old. Any patients that young or older will not be accepted into the study."

Answered by AI

Is J8-K4S2 a common prescription in clinical trials?

"As of right now, there are two J8-K4S2 trials underway. 0 of those active clinical trials are in the last stage before FDA approval. Most studies for J8-K4S2 take place in Edmonton, Alberta; however, there are also research sites in 2 other locations."

Answered by AI

How many people are researchers hoping to include in this trial?

"That is accurate. The listing on clinicaltrials.gov says that the trial began recruiting on 11/7/2022 and as of right now, they are still looking for 30 individuals to fill the 1 available spot(s)."

Answered by AI

Are investigators still enrolling participants for this research project?

"That is accurate. The clinicaltrials.gov website has information indicating that this trial is currently searching for individuals to enroll. This research was first posted on November 7th, 2020 and was last updated more recently on the same day. So far, 30 volunteers are needed from 1 location."

Answered by AI

How can I sign up for this research project?
