Summary

This trial is testing two vaccine candidates to prevent norovirus-induced gastroenteritis. Bivalent delivery evaluates safety and immunogenicity against a matching placebo.

Who is the study for?
Healthy volunteers with a BMI of 17-35, not pregnant or breastfeeding, in stable health without significant illness. Women must use effective contraception or be post-menopausal/surgically sterile; men must also practice birth control. Participants should have no history of certain medical conditions like bleeding disorders, uncontrolled illnesses, cancer treatments within 3 years (except some skin cancers), immune system issues including diabetes, and gastrointestinal diseases that could affect the vaccine's distribution.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two doses of an oral bivalent Norovirus vaccine against a placebo to see if it's safe and can create an immune response. The vaccines target GI.1 and GII.4 strains responsible for gastroenteritis. Some participants will receive high-dose vaccines while others get medium doses or a placebo for comparison.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions to vaccinations such as soreness at the site where the vaccine was given, mild fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills or nausea.
