A controlled human infection model of Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis (CHIVAS-M75): an observational, dose-finding study

Streptococcus pyogenes is a leading cause of infection-related morbidity and mortality. A reinvigorated vaccine development effort calls for new clinically relevant human S pyogenes experimental infection models to support proof of concept evaluation of candidate vaccines. We describe the initial Controlled Human Infection for Vaccination Against S pyogenes (CHIVAS-M75) study, in which we aimed to identify a dose of emm75 S pyogenes that causes acute pharyngitis in at least 60% of volunteers when applied to the pharynx by swab.

About the Vaccine Trials Group

The Vaccine Trials Group was formed in March 1999 to provide a coordinated approach to the development, delivery, assessment and promotion of vaccines.

The SUPER Study

We are looking for healthy young adults to take part in a study that will help us learn more about a new pertussis vaccine that we hope will offer greater protection from whooping cough.
