Opioid Use Vaccine
Research Study
Opioid use disorder is a serious health problem, and there are limited ways to prevent overdose and reduce the effects of opioid use. Researchers are developing a new experimental vaccine that targets oxycodone, but it has not yet been tested in people. This study will examine whether the vaccine is safe and how the body responds to it by measuring the immune response and its effects on oxycodone.
