- Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the TB/Flu-05E single-dose intranasal vaccine for the prevention of Tuberculosis infection in BCG-vaccinated Volunteers aged 18-50 years.
- Detailed Description
Study include 51 participants in two cohorts. At the first stage, 15 volunteers (Cohort 1), randomized in a 2:1 ratio (10 people in the vaccine group and 5 people in the placebo group) will be included in the study. At the second stage, the following 36 people (Cohort 2) will be included in the study, which will be randomly distributed (randomization) in a ratio of 2: 1 for the vaccine preparation (24 people) and placebo (12 people). Duration of the study for each participant is about 4 months (no more than 122 days).
