Frequently asked questions about Acellular pertussis vaccine

What is the acellular pertussis vaccine?

The acellular pertussis vaccine is a vaccine designed to protect against pertussis, also known as whooping cough. Novartis AG is developing this vaccine candidate, which is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is intended for use in healthy adults and is being studied as a booster vaccine, including in combination with tetanus and diphtheria components.

What is the acellular pertussis vaccine used for?

The acellular pertussis vaccine is being developed for the prevention of pertussis, commonly called whooping cough. The Phase 1 trial also listed tetanus and diphtheria among the conditions studied, reflecting a combination booster approach. It is intended for healthy adults ages 18 to 40 years.

Who makes the acellular pertussis vaccine?

Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS, is the developer of this acellular pertussis vaccine candidate. The company sponsored the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the vaccine in healthy adults.

What phase is the acellular pertussis vaccine in?

The acellular pertussis vaccine is in Phase 1 clinical development. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The vaccine is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is the acellular pertussis vaccine in?

The acellular pertussis vaccine has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01529645. Titled a safety and dose ranging study of acellular pertussis and acellular pertussis-tetanus-diphtheria booster vaccines, it enrolled 420 healthy adults ages 18 to 40 in Belgium. It was randomized, double blind, and active controlled.
