ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05654467
What this study is testing
What is Novel Live Attenuated Type 3 Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine (nOPV3)?
Novel Live Attenuated Type 3 Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine (nOPV3) is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for poliomyelitis.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability (primary objective), immunogenicity (primary and secondary objectives), fecal shedding of vaccine viruses (secondary objective) and the potential for neurovirulence of shed virus (secondary objective) of a novel oral polio type 3 vaccine, nOPV3, as compared to Sabin monovalent type 3 vaccine controls (mOPV3), in healthy young children (192 subjects), infants (860 subjects), and neonates (480 subjects).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
