An Open-label, Dose-finding, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Bivalent Klebsiella Pneumoniae Vaccine (CHO-V08) in Healthy Adults

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Klebsiella Pneumoniae Infection, Vaccine

In brief

CHO-V08 is currently being developed as a prevention vaccine against nosocomial and community-acquired infection caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae K1 and K2 serotypes. The goal of study (KLEBBI-001) is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the preventive vaccine of CHO-V08 in healthy volunteers aged from 18 to 50 years old.
