    Route of administration: IM gluteal injection

Study groups in NCT05664750
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TNM002ExperimentalIf randomized to TNM002, participant will receive a single IM gluteal injection of TNM002

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With ∆Titers ≥0.01 IU/mL at 12 Hours Post-dose

    The change of anti-tetanus neutralizing antibody titers from baseline were defined as ΔTiters, calculated as the post-administration antibody titers minus the baseline antibody titers. The antibody protective level is ΔTiters ≥0.01 IU/mL.

    Measured: Baseline up to 12 hours after receipt of study drug

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tetanus Protection Rate on Day 28 Post-dose

    The tetanus protection rate is defined as 1 minus the incidence of tetanus in the study population. The table presents the number of participants who remained free from clinical tetanus over the specified time frame.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after receipt of study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TNM002 and Human tetanus immunoglobulin (HTIG) in people with Tetanus, run by Zhuhai Trinomab Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 28 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Sep 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With ∆Titers ≥0.01 IU/mL at 12 Hours Post-dose (time frame: Baseline up to 12 hours after receipt of study drug). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05664750, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
