that the candidate did not protect against infection. The STEP Study enrolled its first participant in December 2004, and we have a definitive answer less than three years later. Getting swift, precise answers about candidates is crucial for the field. In this sense, the STEP Study fulfilled its purpose-as disappointing as the results may be.

One reason for this efficiency is that both STEP and its companion trial Phambili, which tested the candidate in South Africa, were designed as "test- of-concept" trials, to give an initial answer about vaccine benefits in a relatively abbreviated timeframe. The STEP Study met its enrollment targets and its endpoint goals within the timeframe specified by the trial planners.
