Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults aged 19–64 who have not had a diphtheria-, tetanus-, or pertussis-containing vaccine in the past 2 years, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have not received other vaccines or investigational products within the specified exclusion windows are the ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People who recently received a Tdap or other vaccine within the exclusion windows, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or recently joined other investigational trials are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial has two parts: Part 1 is a single-center, open-label, single-group safety evaluation, and Part 2 is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled comparison of GC3111B to Boostrix®. Healthy adults aged 19–64 who have not received a diphtheria-, tetanus-, or pertussis-containing vaccine in the previous 2 years are eligible, while recent vaccination, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or recent participation in other investigational trials are excluded. Participants will receive either GC3111B or Boostrix® and be followed for safety and antibody responses (immunogenicity) over predefined visits. The primary outcomes focus on safety/tolerability and laboratory measures of immune response to the vaccine antigens.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, GC3111B could provide a safe, effective alternative Tdap booster to Boostrix®, increasing vaccine options and supply.

How similar studies have gone: Licensed Tdap vaccines like Boostrix® have well-established safety and immunogenicity profiles, and other biosimilar/alternate Tdap candidates have shown comparable results in prior trials.
