This project aims to develop a single vial formulation for schistosomiasis vaccine by combining the SMp80 antigen and adjuvant. An advanced vaccine candidate for schistosomiasis with prophylactic, therapeutic, transmission blocking properties could have a significant impact in high endemic areas. Through this project, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center focuses on the delivery of final dosage form of schistosomiasis vaccine with lyophilized powder in a single-dose vial for use in Phase II ~ Phase III clinical trials.
