BCG vaccine clinical trials
We’re tracking 8 recruiting studies that include BCG vaccine, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT07005726Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
BCG revaccination with DTP3 to reduce infant deaths in Africa
This study tests whether giving another BCG vaccine (the one for tuberculosis) at the same time as the third DTP shot can help reduce serious infections and deaths in babies in Africa. If your baby is healthy and getting their routine DTP3, this could be an option to possibly boost their overall protection.
BissauAges 3 months–6 months - NCT04899765RecruitingPhase 4
Measles and BCG shots for moms and toddlers
This trial tests whether giving measles and BCG vaccines to mothers and their children after the child turns 12 months is safe and helpful. It specifically looks at women who are not pregnant and meet several health and study-area requirements.
Bissau, Bissau CodexAges 15–35 - NCT06148025RecruitingPhase 4
Do antibiotics affect vaccine responses?
This study looks at whether taking a short course of antibiotics can change how your body responds to two vaccines (BCG and yellow fever). It may help researchers find ways to make vaccines work better.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18–35 - NCT06078891Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
BCG vaccine to lower Alzheimer's blood markers
This trial tests whether the BCG vaccine (a tuberculosis vaccine) can lower a blood marker linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people aged 70–80 who have slightly elevated p-tau181 levels but still have normal thinking and daily living skills.
JerusalemAges 70–80 - NCT03888924RecruitingPhase 2
BCG vaccine for people with radiologically isolated syndrome
This trial tests whether a BCG vaccine can help people who have radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS), a condition where MRI scans show signs of possible multiple sclerosis before symptoms develop. The study aims to see if vaccination is safe and can change disease behavior over time.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07094711RecruitingPhase 2
BCG vaccine boost for MAC lung disease
This study tests whether a single dose of the BCG vaccine (a live vaccine used for TB) can help the immune system fight MAC lung disease. Participants must not be on MAC treatment now, but may start it during the study if needed.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06441110RecruitingPhase 3
BCG instillation for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer
This trial tests whether a specific schedule of BCG (a weakened germ that boosts the immune system) placed directly into the bladder is safe and effective for medium- to high-risk bladder cancer that hasn't grown into the muscle. It aims to see if adjusting the standard BCG course can work better for people with a PD-L1-positive tumor.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05947890RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an immune-boosting TB vaccine in people with or without HIV
This Phase 2 study tests MTBVAC, a TB vaccine candidate, to see if it is safe and whether it helps the immune system. It may be a fit if you’re eligible for TB and HIV-related vaccine safety testing and can follow study visits and testing.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying BCG vaccine?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting studies that include BCG vaccine, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a BCG vaccine trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is BCG vaccine an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether BCG vaccine or a specific trial is right for you.
