Brief description/objective
Purpose: This Phase I multi-center placebo controlled study is conducted in healthy women with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) aged between 18 and 70 years. GlycoVaxyn is a Swiss company that has developed a multivalent bioconjugate vaccine for the prevention of E.coli-infections. Cystitis is the most common UTI, however kidney infections or bacteremia are possible. The E. coli bacterium is responsible for 85 % of all UTIs. The objectives of this trial are to assess the safety and ability to elicit an immune response of the candidate vaccine as well as the effectiveness of the vaccine in the reduction in UTIs .
