A Study on the Safety and Immune Response of a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Vaccine in Adults 18-64 Years of Age and Clinical Efficacy in Females 18-64 Years of Age

April 16, 2026 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A Seamless Phase 1/2, Observer-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of a UTI Vaccine When Administered to Adults 18 Through 64 Years of Age and Clinical Efficacy When Administered to Females 18 Through 64 Years of Age

The purpose of this study is to assess safety, reactogenicity, and immune response of the candidate UTI vaccine compared to placebo in adults between and including 18-64 years of age (YOA), and to perform a preliminary evaluation of clinical efficacy in females between and including 18-64 YOA.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This clinical trial consists of 2 parts. Part 1 will consist of antigen dose-escalation (start with least dose with gradual increase in dose) Safety Lead-In (SLI) in healthy participants. Part 2 (Proof of Principle [PoP]) will start after the safety review of all safety data in Part 1 and will consist of participants with history of at least 1 episode of urine culture confirmed E. coli UTI in the last 12 months prior to the study intervention administration.
