Meningitis
Ongoing Treatment Studies
Monroe Biomedical Research is an FDA sanctioned clinical trial facility running a Meningitis vaccine study to prevent the infection.
Meningitis Vaccine Study
The meningitis trial is checking if a new drug, called VAN00010, can combat severe diseases caused by meningitis bacteria. The aim is to take a step closer to delivering comprehensive protection against the most common types of meningitis by studying the medicine in young adults and adolescents to understand how effectively this medicine works.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is meningitis?
- Meningitis is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the meninges, which are the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Bacterial meningitis is often severe and can be life-threatening. Vaccines are available to prevent some forms of bacterial meningitis.
What are the symptoms of meningitis?
- Meningitis is typically associated with symptoms such as severe headache, neck stiffness, fever, and sensitivity to light (photophobia). Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, confusion, and a rash. If left untreated, bacterial meningitis can lead to serious complications, such as brain damage or death.
What are the complications of meningitis?
- Meningitis can lead to several complications, some of which can be serious or even life-threatening. The severity and type of complications may vary. Diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical evaluation. Untreated infection could lead to hearing loss, neurological complications, vision problems, cognitive and behavioral changes, seizures and stroke.
How can you treat meningitis?
- Meningitis is a medical emergency, and early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improve the chances of a full recovery. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve antibiotics for bacterial meningitis, antiviral drugs for viral meningitis, or antifungal medications for fungal meningitis. Vaccination against certain bacterial pathogens can also help prevent some cases of bacterial meningitis.
What if I am uninsured?
- Proof of insurance is NOT required to participate in this study. All medical oversight over the course of your study participation is included.
What does investigational medication mean?
- An Investigational medication (also known as investigational new drug) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for testing in people in a clinical study, but has not been approved for general use, distribution or sale. It is through clinical research that these medications receive full approval by the FDA.
How will I be compensated for participating?
- Participants receive a check following each study visit. For this study, those that qualify and choose to participate could receive compensation for their time and travel.
How much will the study cost?
- There will be zero costs for the study participant to take part in the Meningitis prevention study.
