Filter by:This study will evaluate how the immune system responds to influenza infection and compare how the infection differs in patients with a weakened immune system versus those with a healthy immune system. Patients at the NIH Clinical Center who are older than 2 years of age and who are diagnosed with influenza A or B may be eligible for this study. Patients with healthy immune systems and weakened immune systems are included. Participants answer questions about how they are feeling and have a physical examination to evaluate their symptoms. Blood and nasal fluid are collected on the first day and then every other day for a total of 8 days. Nasal fluid is collected by either inserting a small tube in the nose and washing the nose with salt water and collecting the fluid obtained, or by rubbing the inside of the nose with a swab. Physical examinations are repeated on the days that blood and nasal fluid are collected.
This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A maximum of 500 eligible subjects in 10 groups will be enrolled, randomized and vaccinated in this study. Subjects will receive an intramuscular injection of either the influenza A/H5N1 (low, medium or high dose) or placebo on Day 0 and Day 21 with or without a patch. This study will be performed in two parts. In Part 1, an initial safety evaluation will be performed in 100 randomized subjects. A Safety Review Committee (SRC)will review all safety data, including laboratory values, through the Day 7 visit, and compare those data against Stopping Criteria. If the treatments are considered safe, Part 2 of the study will be initiated and a second vaccination will be administered to subjects in Part 1 on Day 21. In Part 2, the remaining 400 subjects will be randomized, treated, and will follow the same visit structure and protocol-defined requirements as subjects in Part 1, without the additional laboratory safety measurements. An SRC review will also be performed of all safety data through the Day 28 visit for subjects participating in Part 1.
This observer blind study is designed to compare the immune response of GSK Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK576389A when administered using various presentations in adults aged 65 years and older. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effects on influenza related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of exposure to tailored/targeted health messages and contextualized information about influenza like illness delivered to subjects through a personally controlled health record system. The main study hypothesis is that exposure to more intensive levels of personalized and contextualized information about risk will result in increased knowledge about influenza, greater attributions of immunization safety and efficacy, improved health protecting behaviors including higher levels of appropriate immunization.
The purpose of this Phase II follow-up study (to study 810501) is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a booster vaccination with a non-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine administered 12 to 17 months after a two-dose regimen of different doses of an adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine in a healthy young adult population. A data safety monitoring board will review the safety data after the booster vaccination. The H5N1 influenza antibody persistence 180 days after the booster vaccination will also be assessed.
Since influenza vaccines are administered every year because of the frequent change in their antigenic composition, the safety and immunogenicity profile of GSK Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK576389A will be re-evaluated after repeated vaccine administration. In this observer blind study, the subjects previously enrolled in study 104888 (NCT00377585) will receive a dose with the 2007-2008 season's formulations of Fluarix or GSK576389A. Only subjects who were previously enrolled in study 104888 (NCT00377585) are eligible for participation in this study.
Objective 1:To describe the safety of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine, Northern Hemisphere (NH) 2007-2008 formulation. Objective 2: To describe the immunogenicity, of Fluzone, inactivated, split virion influenza vaccine NH 2007-2008 formulation. Objective 3: Serum Collection - To submit remaining available sera to Center for Biologics Evaluation and research (CBER) for further analysis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO) to support selection and recommendation of antigen strains for subsequent influenza vaccines.
To evaluate the antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen when administering a single dose to subjects aged 65 years and over
This phase II, open label, is designed as a seasonal study to support annual strain update evaluating the safety, clinical tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2007-2008 formulation of Novartis Vaccines' adjuvanted, subunit influenza vaccine in adults with underlying chronic diseases
This study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immune response when 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) and the trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) are given together to healthy adults aged 50-59 years who are naive to 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (23vPS), or when the vaccines are given 1 month apart. It will also evaluate the immune response to 13vPnC once per year for 4 years and then to a second dose of 13vPnC given 5 years after the first dose.
