A placebo controlled clinical trial investigating the safety and immunogenicity of GBS6 in pregnant women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and their infants
This Phase 2, randomised, placebo controlled, double blinded study will be the first evaluation of the investigational GBS6 in HIV-infected pregnant women. This study will enroll pregnant women with and without HIV to receive GBS6 or Placebo in order to provide an expanded safety and immunogenicity data set (for both pregnant women and their infants) and to support progression of the development of this vaccine.
