Study summary

Pertussis is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, diphtheria is an acute upper respiratory infectious disease caused by Gram-positive Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and tetanus is a highly fatal disease caused by Clostridium tetani infection. Currently, there is no clinical trial registration of Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DPT) vaccine applicable to ≥6 years of age in China, therefore, the five-component acellular DPT combination vaccine developed by our research has a promising future.

Read the detailed description

The vaccines used in China's immunization program for the prevention of pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria include the adsorbed cell-free diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP) and the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular tetanus vaccine (DT) and tetanus vaccine. Among them, DTaP vaccination is for children from 3 months of age to 6 years of age, with one dose each at 3, 4, 5, and 18 months of age; DT vaccination is for children under 12 years of age, with one dose at 6 weeks of age after completing four doses of DTaP vaccination. However, infant and young child vaccination is no longer sufficient to prevent the threat of this disease, mainly due to the rapid decay of immune protection in adolescents and adults, and infections in this population, which are the main source of infection leading to infection in infants and young children, have been a number of new preventive strategies are being evaluated.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 7, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
