Please note - this trial is no longer recruiting patients. We hope to add results when they are available.
The following bullet points list the entry conditions for this trial. Talk to your doctor or the trial team if you are unsure about any of these. They will be able to advise you.
Who can take part
Research samples
The trial team will ask to take some extra tissue samples, blood samples and samples of skin.
You give the tissue samples () before and after completing the 6 vaccinations. You don't have to give these samples if you don't want to.
You give the blood samples at the same time as your routine blood tests if possible. The trial team will give you more information about the specific timings of these tests.
They will also ask to take a sample of skin (a skin biopsy). Your doctor will have a look at the area where you had the injections to see if you have had a reaction (or an inflammatory response). The doctor will ask to take a skin biopsy if the area is red inflamed or swollen. They plan to take up to 3 skin biopsies.
The researchers plan to use the samples to understand how AST-VAC2 works.
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
