Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Phase 3 clinical trial is a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter investigation of rBV A/B in male and female healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Currently, there are no licensed vaccines or pre-exposure prophylactic medical countermeasures available to provide protection against botulism. The rBV A/B is under development to provide protection of adults 18 to 55 years of age from fatal botulism caused by inhalational intoxication with botulinum neurotoxin complex (BoNT) serotype A, subtype A1 (BoNT/A1) and botulinum neurotoxin complex serotype B, subtype B1 (BoNT/B1). Volunteers will not be exposed to botulism. Protective antibody titers will be measured in serum after vaccination.
