Filter by:The present study intends to investigate the use of fractional doses of sanofi pasteur's IMOVAX Polio injected intradermally. The primary objective will be to demonstrate the non-inferiority of fractional doses of IMOVAX Polio administered intradermally versus full doses of IMOVAX Polio administered intramuscularly, in terms of seroprotection rates (polio types 1, 2 and 3) one month after the three-dose primary vaccination administered at 6-10-14 weeks of age.
An open clinical trial to study the immune response and safety after giving a booster dose (5th Dose) of a combination vaccine against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio to healthy adolescents 15-16 Years of age. The first three doses were given during the first year of life, according to the Norwegian child immunization program. The fourth dose was given in a previous clinical trial performed in 1998 when the children were 6-7 years old. In 2006 there was a change in the child immunization program in Norway: a fourth dose of a Combination Vaccine Against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio is given to children 6-7 years old. This study will give us information if there is need for an additional dose (5th dose) of a combination vaccine, containing the pertussis components, before the adolescents are leaving secondary school.
Following licensing of PoliorixTM in Korea, this study will collect safety data about the routine use of this vaccine in 600 children according to the regulations of Korean Food and Drugs Administration (KFDA).
Post-Poliomyelitis Syndrome (PPS) is the term describing the new problems affecting polio survivors many years after recovery from paralytic polio. Among the symptoms, fatigue is one of the most frequent and debilitating. In addition to physical incapacitation, the fatigue of PPS also affects mental function. The term “brain fatigue” is usually used by patients to express problems on the areas of attention, concentration, memory and clear thinking. Unfortunately, little is known about cognitive fatigue of PPS patients. This study is meant to examine if mental impairment is present in PPS patients and, if so, how it interferes on the self-function of patients. Patients will undergo an interview, clinical and neurological evaluation, and a battery of screening laboratory tests to make sure they are eligible for the study. Patients who qualify will undergo neuropsychometric tests in order to assay performance in the main areas of cognitive functioning. Through this organized approach we expect to be able to determine if mental fatigue is a significant problem affecting polio survivors, what areas are most affected, and how it may interfere with daily living.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety in terms of fever (rectal temperature) higher than 39 degree Celcius (°C) and the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response following a booster vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A at 11 to 18 months of age in children previously primed with the same vaccines including a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined and meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) or combined meningococcal serogroup C and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib-MenC) vaccine. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00334334).
As per request by the Heath Authorities, the present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV// PRP~T combined vaccine (PENTAXIM™) as a three-dose primary vaccination at 2, 3, and 4 months of age or 3, 4 and 5 months of age followed by a booster dose at 18-20 months of age as compared to commercially available DTacP, Hib conjugate (Act-HIB™) and IPV (IMOVAX Polio™) monovalent vaccines in order to meet the requirements for registration of the product in People's Republic of China.
Primary objective: To demonstrate the non inferiority between REVAXIS® and DT Polio® when given as a second booster to healthy 6 year-old children . Secondary objectives: - Additional immunogenicity assessments. - To describe the safety profile of a single dose of REVAXIS® or DT-Polio®
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children 12 to 23 months of age without impairing either the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b; or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination. Secondary Objectives: - To describe the antibody titres and the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b as measured at 42 days following vaccination by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled. - To evaluate the safety profile of ProQuad® when administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.
The purpose of this trial is to clinically confirm that the manufacturing process of the final bulk products of the investigational DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine is consistent. The primary objective is to demonstrate the equivalence of three batches of DTaP-IPV-HB-PRP~T vaccine, in terms of seroprotection and seroconversion rates for the vaccine antigens after the three-dose primary series. The secondary objectives are: - To describe in each group, the immunogenicity parameters for all antigens one month after the third dose of the primary series - To assess the overall safety in each group one month after the third dose of the primary series.
The purpose of this study is to show that the immunogenicity of newly formulated DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine is as good as the immunogenicity of the currently licensed formulation of the vaccine. The vaccine will be administered as a primary vaccination course to healthy infants at 2, 3 and 4 months of age and its safety and reactogenicity will also be assessed.
