Study Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine for Staphylococcus aureus, both in healthy adults and in adults who have recently had a skin or soft tissue infection from this bacteria. The trial will assess the safety, immunogenicity (ability to produce immunity), and efficacy (ability to prevent infection) of the vaccine.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-50 for initial phase and 18-64 with recent S. aureus skin infection for the second phase, who understand the study and can follow its procedures. Women must use contraception or be non-childbearing. Excludes those with certain medical conditions, drug abuse history, or on immune-modifying drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new vaccine (GSK3878858A) against S. aureus infections in two phases: first, different doses/compositions in healthy adults; second, efficacy in adults with recent S. aureus skin infections using the final vaccine composition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions to vaccines such as soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue, allergic reactions or other immune responses.
