Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

The aim of this study is to compare the ability of a single dose of a new vaccine against whooping cough, compared to two doses of the same vaccine administered 6 months apart. Vaccination against whooping cough in childhood and adolescence only protects for a few years. A booster vaccination with a combined vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (Boostrix vaccine) is therefore recommended at the age of 25. Current whooping cough vaccines contain several proteins, primarily the pertussis toxin. The pertussis toxin used in current vaccines is chemically inactivated, making it very different from the "wild" pertussis toxin, which means that current vaccines are less effective in adolescents and young adults who have already received many doses of this vaccine. Indeed, current vaccines are effective in infants, but they do not fully and long-term protect adolescents and young adults. A new vaccine has been developed that uses the pertussis toxin after genetic detoxification, which allows for better resemblance to the "wild" pertussis toxin. An initial study in Geneva among adolescents demonstrated that the immune response induced by this new vaccine is significantly superior to that of the current standard vaccine. However, the superiority of the immune response proved to be transient. The aim of our study is to see if we obtain longer protection when two doses of the new vaccine are administered 6 months apart, compared to a single dose. In this study, we will enroll 100 young adults. A random draw will determine who will receive 2 doses of the new vaccine or a single dose. We will perform a blood draw before and 4 weeks after each vaccination, as well as at 1 year to measure the immune response. Any side effects will be measured throughout the duration of the study.

participation in another clinical interventional trial likely to interfere with study
results;

- Acute or chronic, clinically significant psychiatric, hematologic, pulmonary,
cardiovascular, or hepatic or renal functional abnormality as determined by the
Investigator based on medical history and physical exam;

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including
