A Phase I, Randomized, Single-blind, Controlled, Single Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Dose Range of Glycoconjugate Antigen Vaccine of Group B Streptococcus in Healthy Women 18- 40 Years of Age

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Invasive Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Disease

• Registration Number: NCT00645346
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Vaccines

Brief Summary

The goals of the proposed study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a GBS vaccine. Previous studies suggest that immune responses against GBS can protect humans from infection.
