This study is looking at whether drinking pasteurized milk that contains inactive (killed) particles of the A(H5) flu virus could lead to the virus being detected in your nose or throat. These inactive virus particles cannot make you sick. Researchers want to see if this happens and if your body makes antibodies in response. The results will help the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) understand how milk consumption might affect flu monitoring. You could be eligible if you are a healthy adult between 18 and 64 years old, have a BMI of 35 or less, and can understand and agree to the study procedures. The study aims to enroll 30 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 30 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would drink 250 mL of pasteurized milk containing inactive H5N1 virus, either once or over three days. Nasal and throat swabs will be taken, and some participants will also provide blood, saliva, and stool samples.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your respiratory specimens will be checked for influenza for up to 30 days after drinking the milk. Some participants will provide samples again 21-30 days post-consumption.
