Filter by:This study will investigate safety and immunogenicity of a monovalent conjugated vaccine against Haemophilus influenzae type b in healthy children aged 2 to 4 months in China.
The primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of CS-8958 administered as a single inhaled low dose or single inhaled high dose by showing non-inferiority to oseltamivir phosphate using the time to alleviation of influenza illness. For safety evaluation, between-group comparisons will be made with regard to incidence of adverse events and other safety measures. In a secondary objective, the optimum dosage of CS-8958 for this indication will be evaluated based on the efficacy and safety of single inhaled low or high dose.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of an investigational Vero cell-derived, trivalent, seasonal influenza vaccine to prevent infection with an influenza virus that is antigenically similar to one of the three strains in the vaccine. Subjects will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive a single intramuscular injection of either the investigational vaccine or placebo. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for a determination of hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers on Days 0 and 21, body temperature and injection site reactions will be monitored daily for 7 days. In addition, subjects must return to the clinic promptly to have swab samples of their nose and throat taken whenever they feel flu symptoms and all subjects will be monitored for adverse events until Day 180.
Vaccination is the principal means of combating epidemic and pandemic influenza. As vaccines induce relatively strain-specific and short-lived antibody responses, annual immunisation with regularly updated vaccine is recommended for seasonal influenza, but would not be expected to protect against a pandemic event. In clinical trials among young adults, at least two doses of avian influenza H5 or H9 subunit vaccine are needed to induce moderate antibody responses. However, studies including older subjects have unexpectedly found that some people aged over 65 yrs have pre-vaccination neutralising antibody to influenza H5 and H9 respectively. These subjects mount a robust antibody response to single dose H5 or H9 pandemic vaccine, suggesting that they are effectively primed to at least some strains of avian influenza. This exploratory proposal focuses on those elderly subjects whose immune systems already exhibit antibodies to H5 with a goal of investigating the humoral and cellular basis of the immune response to seasonal and pandemic vaccination. We will examine neutralising antibody responses to a range of human and non-human influenza viruses before and after seasonal and pandemic vaccination and evaluate cellular B and T cell immune responses before and after pandemic H5 vaccination
While immunisation of school-age children against influenza is not recommended in Hong Kong, past experience in Japan and elsewhere suggests that immunisation of children may protect the wider community through its indirect transmission-limiting impact as well as the direct immunologic protection afforded vaccinated children themselves. We aim to assess whether vaccinating children against influenza protects vaccinees as well as their household contacts from infection.
This unblinded pilot study is intended to assess the feasibility of a larger double-blind, randomized control trial. For the larger trial the investigators are interested in understanding the relative benefits of vaccine and antiviral prophylaxis, the risk factors for influenza infection in healthy adults, and in assessing the safety and tolerability of seasonal antiviral prophylaxis in healthcare workers. The pilot study will be assessing the rate of infection with influenza and the rate of adherence to long-term zanamivir in 60 healthy volunteers.
The objectives of this study are to assess the dose-related safety and immunogenicity of six different dose levels of inactivated, Vero cell-derived reverse genetic reassortant A/H5N1/Indonesia/05/2005 influenza vaccine in a healthy young adult population. Subjects will receive 2 vaccinations (21 days apart) at the dose to which they were assigned. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for serum antibody determination on Days 0, 21, 42 and 180. Body temperature will be measured daily for 6 days following vaccination. Injection site reactions and systemic reactions will be monitored throughout the entire 180 days of the study. Safety data obtained at 7 days after the first vaccination for all dose levels in Cohort 1 will be reviewed by a Data Monitoring Committee and a recommendation will be obtained whether to proceed to the second vaccination of Cohort 1 and to the first vaccination of Cohort 2.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness (seroprotection and seroconversion as measured by the hemagglutination inhibition [HI] assay) of an investigational Vero cell-derived, trivalent, seasonal influenza vaccine in adults 50 years of age and older. Subjects will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive a single intramuscular injection of either the investigational vaccine or a licensed egg-derived seasonal influenza vaccine. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for a determination of HI antibody titers on Days 0 and 21, body temperature and injection site reactions will be monitored daily for 7 days. In addition, subjects will be monitored for adverse events and rises in body temperature until Day 21 and again until Day 180.
Children younger than 5 years of age are at high risk for severe influenza disease (flu) and hospitalization due to flu. Scientists are in the process of re-evaluating the dosing initially based on whole virus vaccines to improve their efficacy in infants. In this study, we will compare two different dose levels of GSK1557482A flu vaccine. Another already approved flu vaccine made by a different company will be used as a control.
This is a single blind, reference drug controlled, one center viral immunogenicity and tolerability study of FluvalAB FL-K-004 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine with 6 μg HA/strain/dos antigen content to assess immunogenicity and tolerability. The aim of the study is to assess the immunogenicity and tolerability of FluvalAB FL-K-004 trivalent influenza vaccine with 6 μg HA/strain/dos antigen content (study drug) in age groups 18-60 years and over 60 years, with the objective to verify efficacy and tolerability of the study drug according to CPMP/BWP/214/96: "Note for Guidance on Harmonization of Requirements for Influenza Vaccines", 12 March 1997.
