Combination vaccine for whooping cough, Hib, and meningitis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new combination vaccine that protects against whooping cough, Haemophilus influenzae type b (a cause of meningitis and pneumonia), and several types of meningococcal disease (a cause of meningitis and bloodstream infections). It may help reduce the number of shots needed for children.

This trial tests a combined vaccine that protects against five diseases (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and Hib) in 2-month-old babies who have already received 4 doses. It aims to check the vaccine's safety and how well it builds immunity.
This study tests a vaccine that protects against four common types of meningitis (groups A, C, Y, and W135) in toddlers aged 12–23 months. It helps researchers see if the vaccine is safe and works well for young children.
This trial tests a vaccine that protects against four types of meningococcal bacteria (groups A, C, W, and Y) in healthy babies aged 3 to 5 months. The vaccine is given to help prevent meningitis and other serious infections.
This study tests whether a new vaccine safely protects infants aged 6 to 11 months against four types of meningococcal bacteria that can cause serious infections like meningitis and blood infections. It is designed for healthy babies who have not yet received any meningococcal vaccine.
This trial tests a new vaccine (LR20062) to see how well it protects healthy babies against several diseases. Your baby would receive the vaccine at their 2-month, 4-month, and 6-month checkups.
This trial tests a booster dose of a vaccine that protects against four types of meningococcal bacteria, which can cause meningitis (a serious infection of the lining around the brain). It is for children who already received this vaccine in a previous study and are now older.
