Official Title: Varying Keyhole Limpet Haemocyanin-adjuvant Dose Combinations to Explore the Immune Response: a Human Challenge Study
Brief Summary:
One approach to improve the efficiency of the drug development process is the use of human 'immune challenge' studies.In these studies, healthy volunteers are given small amounts of substances which are foreign to their immune system to provoke a temporary response: the 'challenge'.Depending on the nature and dose of the challenge, the body's immune system will react in a different but predictable way, elements of which mimic those seen in disease, thereby 'modelling' them.These…
