About This Research Study
Norovirus, often called “food poisoning” or the “stomach bug”, can cause major disruptions to daily life. It is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) worldwide, and there is currently no approved vaccine available. Symptoms can include sudden nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, feeling tired or weak, muscle pains, and fever. Norovirus spreads quickly through interactions in places like day care centers, retirement communities, cruise ships, and restaurants. Children under age 5, adults over age 60, and people with underlying health conditions are at greater risk of serious symptoms.
Tekton Research is now enrolling a clinical study evaluating an investigational vaccine aimed at the prevention of norovirus. Qualified participants may be compensated for time and travel.
Eligible participants…
- Must be 60 years and older
- Must not have had norovirus or been in close contact with an individual that had norovirus in the past 2 weeks
- May receive compensation for study-related time
- Do not need insurance to join this study
