GC3111B versus Boostrix® as a Tdap booster in healthy adults

An Open(Part 1), Single-arm(Part 1), Randomized(Part 2), Double-blind(Part 2), Active-controlled(Part 2) Phase I/II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy (Immunogenicity) of GC3111B in Healthy Adults

PHASE1; PHASE2 · GC Biopharma Corp · NCT06997627

This study will test whether the GC3111B vaccine is safe and produces protective immune responses comparable to Boostrix® when given as a Tdap booster to healthy adults aged 19–64.

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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

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.

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 performed: 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.
