Clinical Trials / Research Studies

What will happen in the study?

This study includes approximately 10 clinic visits, an inpatient stay for up to 10 days, and 2 phone calls over a 10-month period.
Here are some of the things that will happen in this study:

You will:

• Answer questions about your health, past or present illnesses, and medications
• Have a physical exam which includes height, weight and vital signs
• Provide blood, urine and stool samples
• If eligible after screening, receive 3 study vaccine shots in the outpatient research clinic about a month apart, be admitted to the extended stay research unit up to 10 days about a month after the third study vaccine shot
• Drink a dose of the ETEC germs about a month after the third study vaccine shot to see if the vaccinations protected you from illness. We will be sure the ETEC germs are out of your body before you go home from the extended stay research unit.

During the stay in the extended stay research unit, study staff will be available at all times to care for you.

Adults interested in participating in this study will be given a consent form that thoroughly explains all of the details of the study. A member of the study staff will review the consent form with you and will be sure that all of your questions are answered.
