About this study

Official title: A Follow-up Trial to Assess the Persistence of the Immune Response to the Group B Streptococcus Vaccine (GBS-NN/NN2) After a Primary Vaccination of Healthy Pregnant Women, and to Assess Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of the GBS-NN/NN2 Vaccine When Administered During Follow-Up as a 1 Booster Dose During a New Pregnancy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing GBS-NN/NN2 vaccine in people with Streptococcus Agalactiae Infection and Neonatal Sepsis, run by Minervax ApS at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 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 6 sites in Denmark, South Africa. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

All Participants: Concentration of IgG Antibodies to AlpN Proteins in Blood Serum (time frame: Up to approximately 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Sep 2026.
