Filter by:Currently effective antivials for influenza treatment are two influenza viral neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Resistance to these drugs is reflected by reduced susceptibility of viral neuraminidase to these drugs. The hypothesis is that the signal ratio of two reagents (with or without a single concentration of the drug) correlates the IC50 value, an accurate measurement of drug resistance but impractical for clinical use.
The aim of the study is to compare the safety, clinical tolerability, immunogenicity and efficacy of gpASIT+TM (grass pollen peptides) alone and combined with an immunoregulating adjuvant, in a short course administration (5 injections over 4 weeks).
Assessment and evaluation of body temperature is an important sign of health and disease. Inferior thermometry increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, and increases health care cost by delaying the diagnosis and treatment of fever-related disease. The gold standard for measuring core body temperature is the pulmonary artery thermistor (PAT). The measurement of the PAT requires the insertion of the invasive pulmonary artery catheter, a high risk procedure. An innovative thermometry technology, the temporal artery thermometer (TAT), has been introduced into the clinical arena as a potential non-invasive proxy for the PAT. The TAT reduces the risk and cost of pulmonary artery catheter insertion by non-invasively measuring core blood temperature by measuring temperature over the skin of the temporal artery. Research to demonstrate the precision and accuracy of the TAT in normothermic patients has been published, but little to no data is available in those with temperatures greater than 100.4oF. The purpose of this study is to measure the precision and accuracy of 2standard of care temperature methods: the thermistor from the PAT, considered the gold standard, and the TAT as measured in those patients with a PAT temperature greater than 100.4oF.
This is a multiple-site phase 2b, randomized, placebo control study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Rotavin-M1, produced by the Center for Research and Production of Vaccines and Biologicals, Vietnam.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the administration of CYD dengue vaccine serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) following a compressed schedule in 3 different populations. Primary Objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (Month [M] 13) and Group 2 (M07), irrespective of whether or not Yellow Fever (YF) vaccine has been previously administered. - To describe the persistence of the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes 6 months after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (M18) and Group 2 (M12), irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. Secondary Objective: - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 in Groups 1 and 2, irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue Dose 1 in the combined YF-participants in Group 1 (N=60) and Group 2 (N=60), and in Group 3 (N=120). - To describe by FV status at baseline the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in Groups 1, 2, and 3. - To describe the safety profile after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine and/or YF vaccine.
This is a descriptive prospective community-based seroprevalence study. Primary objective: - To determine the prevalence of specific antibodies (immunoglobulin G [IgG]) against dengue in healthy 5 to 10 year-old children in India. Secondary objectives: - To determine the dengue virus serotype (DeNV-1,2,3 and /or 4) specific to the antibodies in positive (IgG) samples - To estimate the prevalence of specific antibodies (IgG) against Japanese encephalitis in healthy 5 to 10 year-old children in India.
The aim of this randomised trial was to investigate whether hyperthermia (HT) combined with interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) has any influence on local control (LC), disease-free survival (DFS), or acute and late side effects in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Vaginal symptoms were assessed by SOMA score, bladder and rectum symptoms by EORTC/RTOG score. Following the completion of radiochemotherapy, consecutive patients with cervical cancer (FIGO stage II - III) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups, either ISBT alone or ISBT combined with interstitial hyperthermia (ISHT). A total of 205 patients were included in the statistical analysis. Once a week, HT, at a temperature above 42.5°C, was administered for 45 minutes before and during the HDR BT. Follow-up examinations were scheduled at 6 weeks after the completion of BT, every 3 months during the first 2 years, and every 6 months throughout the next 3 years. If relapse was suspected, biopsies were obtained from these patients.
In this study, the investigators will prospectively assess fever rates and other associated vaccine adverse events in 6-23 month old patients during days 0-7 after administration of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) concomitantly compared to those who receive trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administered non-concomitantly. The investigators hypothesize that fever rates will be significantly higher during the 0-1 days after vaccination when inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are given concomitantly than when TIV or PCV13 is administered non-concomitantly.
This study is addressed to patients suffering from an acute febrile upper respiratory tract infection suspected to be of viral origin. The purpose of this study is to determine the antipyretic efficacy (reduction of fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state) of Aspirin in doses of 500 and 1000 mg (study medication) compared to the one of Paracetamol in doses of 500 and 1000 mg (comparator medication) as well as the one of Placebo (comparator medication without an active substance). Despite of its common use for fever treatment, the scientific data in adults which support the antipyretic efficacy of Aspirin are sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to collect such data.
This international, prospective, observational, open-label, pharmaco-epidemiologic study observes cancer patients at risk for chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) who are receiving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006) for primary or secondary FN prophylaxis to better describe the patient population at risk for FN and treated prophylactically in physician's best clinical judgement with filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), to describe prophylaxis patterns involving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), and to evaluate hematology levels and variability in hematological outcomes, impact on chemotherapy delivery, radiotherapy, surgery, and mortality. Additionally the study aims to identify patient cohorts who are vulnerable to poor response to FN prophylaxis and experience break-through episodes of FN, understand the differences between prophylaxis responders and non-responders, and describe the degree to which prophylaxis of FN is in congruence with guideline recommendations.
