Serologic Assay Validation, Proficiency Testing, Safety and Immunogenicity of Norovirus GI.1/GII.4 Bivalent Virus-Like Particle Vaccine

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Norovirus, Healthy Participants

In brief

The purpose of this study is to collect serum samples to evaluate serologic assays and to establish proficiency panels for serologic assays used for assessment of post vaccination immune response after intramuscular (IM) vaccination with Norovirus GI.1/GII.4 bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine.
