Tetanus vaccine patch study in healthy adults
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new microneedle patch that delivers a tetanus booster vaccine through tiny needles in the skin, without a traditional shot. The patch is applied to the forearm, and the study checks its safety and how the body responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult (aged 16 or older).
- You have a patch of hairless, unblemished skin on your inner forearm (at least about 1 inch square) — no tattoos, burns, scars, or skin conditions there.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you agree to use reliable birth control during the study.
- You have not had a tetanus booster in the last 12 months.
- You are not allergic to tetanus vaccine or materials in the patch (like plastic or adhesive).
- You have not used immune-suppressing drugs (like high-dose steroids) in the last 30 days and do not have an active infection.

This study tests an injection that may help prevent tetanus in people who have had a high-risk exposure, like a deep or dirty wound. It aims to see if the injection is safe and effective for protecting against tetanus.
This trial tests a new combined vaccine that protects against whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus for people aged 10 and older. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and how well it works to boost immunity in teens and adults.
This study checks if a simple saliva test can detect tetanus protection, which could replace blood tests. It includes healthy children, young adults, pregnant women, and adults with certain health conditions.
This study compares a new tetanus shot (siltartoxatug) with standard tetanus treatments to see if it works as well. It is for people aged 18 and older who need tetanus protection after an injury.
This study checks how long your body's protection from the tetanus vaccine lasts. It follows up with people who already got the vaccine in an earlier study to see if their immunity is still strong years later.
