Live Enterovirus Vaccine and Type 1 Diabetes
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) for Enterovirus Infection and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 315 participants.
Detailed Summary
Enterovirus infections may either increase or decrease the risk of type 1 diabetes depending on the age of infection and the type of enterovirus in question. This study evaluated whether early serial exposures to three replication-competent enterovirus strains (live poliovirus vaccine, OPV) can influence the immunity to other enteroviruses and the possible initiation of autoantibodies e.g. islet autoimmunity in young genetically predisposed children.
