Official title: A Randomized, Partially Blinded, Dose-Exploratory, Active/Placebo-Controlled Phase I Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of the Adsorbed Acellular Pertussis (Tricomponent) DPT-Hib (Conjugate)-ACYW135-Group B Meningococcal (Conjugate) Combined Vaccine in Individuals Aged 2 Months to 6 Years
Run by CanSino Biologics Inc. · NCT07203755 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests a combined vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and meningococcal ACYW135 in children aged 2 months to 6 years to see if it is safe and prompts an immune response.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 2 months, 3 months, 18–24 months, or 6 years who meet the age- and prior-vaccination requirements and whose legal guardian can provide informed consent and attend study visits.
✕Probably not a fit
Children with contraindications such as known severe allergy to vaccine components, significant immunodeficiency, or those outside the specified age or prior-vaccination windows are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 trial is being done in two parts to examine safety and immune responses to a combined DTaP-Hib-MCV4 (MenACWY) vaccine in young children. Part One uses a randomized, partially blinded, dose-escalation design with partial active control and is split into four stages by age and dose level (2 months, 3 months, 18–24 months, and 6 years). Part Two is randomized and blinded with a placebo control and focuses on the 2-month-old vaccine/placebo groups. The trial is sponsored by CanSino Biologics and carried out at a local CDC site in Shangqiu, Henan, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combined vaccine could reduce the number of injections and simplify routine immunization by protecting against several diseases with a single shot.
How similar studies have gone: Combination DTaP-Hib vaccines have been used previously, but combining DTaP-Hib with a meningococcal ACYW135 conjugate in a single product is less tested and represents a newer approach.
