Safety and Immunogenicity of the Liquid Formulation of Group B Streptococcus Trivalent Vaccine and of the Lyophilized Formulation of Group B Streptococcus Trivalent Vaccine

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Infections, Streptococcal, Streptococcal Infections

In brief

The purpose of the present study is to assess and compare in healthy non-pregnant women 18 to 40 years of age the safety and immunogenicity of a liquid formulation of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Trivalent Vaccine (not requiring reconstitution prior to administration), and of the lyophilized formulation of GBS Trivalent Vaccine, administered in non-pregnant and pregnant women in the clinical development program to date.
