The trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the vaccine candidate in healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 40. Clinical testing is underway and will continue into 2006 at Northwest Kinetics in Tacoma, Wash. Contract research services for the single center, open-label study will be provided by the Covalent Group, headquartered in Wayne, Penn.
