Filter by:This is an open-tabled, one-arm observatory trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Autonomous Treatment System Based on Machine Learning in patients with Covid-19, Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection and influenza.
The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on influenza vaccination rates and health literacy in primary school students in the city of Dongguan in China. Individuals aged 7 to 12 years who are in grades 4-5 in primary schools in Dongguan will be enrolled. 20 primary schools will be randomly selected, with half designated as intervention group schools and the remaining half as control group schools. The intervention group will receive a monthly health education intervention focused on influenza vaccination for 5 months, while the control group will continue with their routine school health education for 5 months. Researchers will compare the differences in influenza vaccination rates and influenza vaccination health literacy levels between the intervention and control groups after 5 months to see if health education can promote influenza vaccination health literacy among primary school students.
In randomized clinical trials and observational studies, influenza vaccination has been shown to be effective in reducing influenza-related illness, hospitalizations, cardiovascular events, and mortality in select populations. However, the real-world effectiveness of influenza vaccination is limited by its uptake. This study will investigate whether digital behavioral nudges delivered via the official, mandatory Danish electronic letter system can increase influenza vaccine uptake among adults aged 18-64 years with chronic diseases.
In randomized clinical trials and observational studies, influenza vaccination has been shown to be effective in reducing influenza-related illness, hospitalizations, cardiovascular events, and mortality in select populations. However, the real-world effectiveness of influenza vaccination is limited by its uptake. Conducted during the 2022/2023 influenza season, the first NUDGE-FLU trial demonstrated the effectiveness of two electronic behavioral nudging letter strategies in increasing influenza vaccination rates among older adults in Denmark - a letter highlighting potential cardiovascular benefits of vaccination and a standard informational letter sent at baseline and repeated at day 14. This present study will once again investigate whether digital behavioral nudges delivered via the official, mandatory Danish electronic letter system can increase influenza vaccine uptake among older adults including whether the effectiveness of previously successful strategies can be confirmed during a subsequent influenza season.
This study will evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness of quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV4) versus quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV4) in preventing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed influenza and influenza-related outcomes in adults ≥65 years of age during the 2023/24 and 2024/25 influenza seasons. The study is an observational study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), an integrated health care system in the United States.
This is a prospective, randomized randomized immunologic study of response to influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination across four of the US Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness (Flu VE) Network study sites.
The purpose of this Phase 1/2 study is to generate sufficient safety and immunogenicity data of mRNA-1018 pandemic influenza candidate vaccines in healthy adults ≥18 years of age to enable the initiation of a large Phase 3 trial with one selected vaccine candidate. The study will be conducted in 2 Parts (Part A and Part B) that will enroll and run concurrently. Part A of the study will evaluate 4 vaccine candidates (H5N8, H7N9, H5 only, and H7 only). Part B of the study will evaluate a single vaccine candidate (H5 only-CG).
Background: Influenza (flu) virus causes 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 650,000 deaths per year worldwide. Current vaccines work well against single strains of flu virus. But no single vaccine works well against all flu viruses that can cause illness. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine (FluMos-v2) in healthy adults. Eligibility: Healthy adults aged 18 to 50 years. Design: Participants will have 11 clinic visits in 10 months. They must agree not to get a licensed flu vaccine while taking part in this study. FluMos-v2 will be given with a needle injected into a muscle in the upper arm. Participants will receive a follow-up phone call the following day. Participants will be given a diary card, a ruler, and a thermometer. They will take their temperature every day for 7 days after receiving the shot. They will measure any skin changes at the injection site. They will record their findings and how they feel. Participants will receive a second FluMos-v2 shot after 4 months. They will repeat the other follow-up steps. Participants will have 9 other clinic follow-up visits. Blood will be drawn at each visit. Participants should also come to the clinic if they develop flu-like symptoms during the study. Participants may opt for an apheresis 2 weeks after each shot: Blood will be removed through a needle in the vein of 1 arm. The blood will run through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood is returned through a needle in the other arm.
Influenza virus is a significant pathogen in pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. However, these individuals respond poorly to standard-dose (SD) inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Recent studies have investigated two strategies to overcome poor immune responses in SOT recipients: (1) administration of high-dose (HD)-IIV compared to SD-IIV and (2) two doses of SD-IIV compared to one dose of SD-IIV in the same influenza season. One study compared HD-IIV vs. SD-IIV in adult SOT recipients and noted that HD-IIV was safe and more immunogenic; however, the median post-transplant period was 38 months. A phase I pediatric study comparing a single dose of HD-IIV vs. SD-IIV was safe with higher immunogenicity, but the study was limited by small sample size and median post-transplant vaccine administration was 26 months. In another phase II trial of adult SOT recipients, two doses of SD-IIV one month apart compared to one-dose of SD-IIV revealed modestly increased immunogenicity when given at a median of 18 months post-transplant. Therefore, these studies lack both evaluation in the early post-transplant period and substantive pediatric populations. Additionally, the administration of two-doses of HD-IIV in the same influenza season has not been evaluated in pediatric SOT recipients. Thus, the optimal immunization strategy for pediatric SOT recipients less than 24 months post-transplant is unknown. In addition, immunologic predictors and correlates of influenza vaccine immunogenicity in pediatric SOT recipients have not been well-defined. The central hypothesis of our proposal is that pediatric SOT recipients 1-23 months post-transplant who receive two doses of HD-quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV) will have similar safety but higher Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) to influenza antigens compared to pediatric SOT recipients receiving two doses of SD-QIV.
This is a Phase 1, comparator-controlled, dosage escalation study of an intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNP vaccine, DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine, encoding full-length H1 HA of influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1), in up to 50 adult volunteers aged 18 to 49 years, designed to assess vaccine safety and immunogenicity at varying doses. Eligible participants will be sequentially enrolled into dosing groups (10 mcg, 25 mcg, 50 mcg, and selected optimal dose) of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine. Dosing will commence at the lowest dose (10 mcg) and only escalate to the next higher dose if safety concerns are not identified. Up to ten subjects will be enrolled per dosing group. An optimal dosing group will be selected based on safety outcomes from the 10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg dosing group. For the optimal dose, the highest dose with no identified safety concerns as determined by the SRC will be selected. This approach will allow determination of an optimal dosing group which will include 10 optimal dose vaccine recipients. Ten separate participants will be enrolled to receive standard quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4). The primary goal of this study is to assess the safety of two doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine administered intramuscularly in healthy adults (18-49 yrs) at dosage levels of 10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg.
