Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, infectivity, and immunogenicity of the HPIV3-EbovZ GP Ebola vaccine candidate in healthy adults.
This protocol will seek to enroll up to 60 immunocompromised subjects diagnosed with parainfluenza infection. All subjects will have additional PK and Immunogenicity blood samples collected.
This protocol will seek to enroll immunocompromised patients who are on supplemental oxygen and diagnosed with a parainfluenza infection.
Background: - Parainfluenza is a virus that can cause infections in people. Most people infected with this virus have mild symptoms including fever, cough, red eyes, or runny nose (a common cold). Some people, especially those with a weakened immune system, get very sick from this virus. They may have difficulty breathing or develop lung infections. Currently, there are no specific treatments for parainfluenza. However, a drug called DAS181 may make the virus go away faster. Researchers are interested in testing DAS181 to see if it is safe and effective against parainfluenza. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of DAS181 as a treatment for parainfluenza. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have the parainfluenza virus and have developed symptoms within the past 10 days. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and questions about symptoms and activity levels. Participants will also have a lung function test and provide blood and nasal fluid samples. - DAS181 is an inhaled medication, and everyone will receive a study medication inhaler. Participants will receive either DAS181 or a placebo through the inhaler. They will take it once every day for 5 days. - Participants will have monitoring visits on days 2, 4, 7, 10, 14, and 28 to provide blood and nasal fluid samples and have a lung function test. - Participants who still have the virus in their system on Day 28 will return to the clinic on Day 42 for more tests. Participants who still have the virus in their system on Day 42 will return to the clinic on Day 56 for more tests. - Participants will have followup visits 6 months and 1 year after the start of the study.
The study will be conducted using nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected prospectively from individuals suspected of having the signs and symptoms of an acute respiratory tract infection caused by a respiratory virus. A series of standard viral culture tests validated for routine use in the clinical laboratory, and/or a series of PCR-based Laboratory Developed Tests (PCR-LDT) validated by a central reference laboratory will be used to verify the performance of the investigational artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the QIAGEN ResPlex II Advanced Panel test. From each specimen five (5) aliquots will be prepared: (a) one aliquot will be tested in real-time using the assigned viral culture reference methods; (b) one aliquot will be used to extract nucleic acid in real-time for investigational testing; (c) one aliquot of the specimen will be stored at --70C for subsequent shipment to the reference laboratory for PCR-LDT testing, (d) one aliquot will be archived at -70C for subsequent follow-up by the reference laboratory (e.g., bi-directional sequencing of positive specimens), and (e) any remaining specimen will be stored for the Fresh vs. Frozen Study. The extracted nucleic acid generated from the second aliquot (i.e., "b" above) will be split and subjected to testing by both the artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the ResPlex II Advanced Panel test.
Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is a major cause of pneumonia and other respiratory diseases in infants and children. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of an HPIV3 vaccine in infants and young children.
Despite widespread use of respiratory protective equipment in the U.S. healthcare workplace, there is very little clinical evidence that respirators prevent healthcare personnel (HCP) from airborne infectious diseases. Scientific investigation of this issue has been quite complicated, primarily because the use of respirators has become "the standard of care" for protection against airborne diseases in some instances, even without sufficient evidence to support their use. The key question remains: How well do respirators prevent airborne infectious diseases? The answer to this important question has important medical, public health, political and economic implications.
Human parainfluenza virus type 2 (HPIV2) can result in severe respiratory illness in infants and young children. This study will test the safety of and immune response to an HPIV2 vaccine aimed at infants and children.
Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are a major health concern in infants and young children under 5 years of age, causing serious respiratory tract disease. The primary purpose of this study is to test the safety of and immune response to a new HPIV vaccine in healthy infants and children.
The present study was conducted to study the impact community acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections in an outpatient setting on graft function of lung transplant recipients. The study was aimed to identify risk factors for CARV infections. The study was further intended to investigate an association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human adenovirus (HAdV) with the development of BOS and to identify risk factors for virus detection in blood.
