Acellular pertussis vaccine has been studied in one completed Phase 1 clinical trial, identified as NCT01529645. This trial evaluated the safety and dose ranging of the vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 to 40 years in Belgium.

Is Acellular pertussis vaccine the same as a Tdap booster?

Acellular pertussis vaccine is being studied as a standalone booster and in combination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids. The clinical trial NCT01529645 assessed both acellular pertussis and acellular pertussis-tetanus-diphtheria booster vaccines.
