ClinConnect Summary

The H7HLAII DNA Influenza Vaccine trial is studying a new vaccine intended to help protect against a specific type of flu, known as the H7N9 strain. This is important because H7N9 can cause serious illness during pandemics. The trial aims to find out if the vaccine is safe and if it can effectively stimulate the body’s immune response to fight the virus. They are currently looking for healthy volunteers aged between 65 and 74 years to participate.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be in good health, meaning they should not have any ongoing medical issues or take medications regularly. Women who can become pregnant need to use effective birth control during the study and will have to take a pregnancy test before receiving the vaccine. If you decide to participate, you can expect to attend several scheduled visits where you will receive the vaccine and be monitored for any side effects. This study not only seeks to advance our understanding of flu vaccines but also hopes to contribute to better protection against future flu outbreaks.
