A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Oral Poliovirus Vaccine Candidates

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two novel type 2 oral poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) candidates (nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2) in adults. The primary objectives of the study include the general safety and immunogenicity of the two candidate vaccines in healthy volunteers previously vaccinated with Sabin monovalent OPV or inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) only.
