No FDA-approved vaccine exists for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as mono, and is associated with multiple autoimmune diseases and several types of cancer. NIH has launched a clinical trial of a new vaccine candidate designed to prevent EBV infection. The vaccine aims to produce antibodies to protect certain types of cells from becoming infected, including those that line the throat. This is important because EBV is usually transmitted by infected saliva that enters the throat of an uninfected person. The study team is conducting the trial at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Learn more: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06908096
