Filter by:This study will provide information regarding the sequential administration of two vaccines adjuvanted with AS01. The aim of this study is to understand immunogenicity and safety of NTHi-Mcat vaccine when administered sequentially after Shingrix vaccine and to compare to the immunogenicity of NTHi-Mcat vaccine administered alone. This study will also provide information regarding whether a specific time period is required between the administration of these two different vaccines containing the same adjuvant- AS01 components. The population of this study will include healthy smokers and ex-smokers of 50 to 80 years of age which will be used as a proxy for the COPD population.
Ventilator hyperinflation (VHI) has been shown to be effective in improving respiratory mechanics, secretion removal, and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients; however, the literature is scarce concerning its safety and adverse effects. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the hemodynamic repercussions of VHI in volume-controlled mode. In a randomized, controlled and crossover design, 24 mechanically ventilated patients will undergo 2 modes of ventilator hyperinflation (with and without an inspiratory pause) and a control intervention. Cardiac output, cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, systolic volume and other hemodynamic variables will be recorded during the interventions.
The purpose of this study is to test two different vaccine schedules to be used for administering the investigational NTHi Mcat vaccine that will be targeting patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to prevent acute exacerbations. An acute exacerbation is when the breathlessness in COPD patients will get even worse than it normally already is, sometimes to the point where oxygen therapy is required. In previous studies, study participants have received two doses of the vaccine according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The current study will find out if a third dose of the study vaccine against NTHi/Mcat is safe and working well. The study will also investigate if the third dose of vaccine works best when given after 6 months or after 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to test if the vaccine is working well in COPD patients aged 40 to 80 years old to reduce episodes of worsening symptoms ("exacerbations") and to gather further information on safety and immune response. In the current study, COPD patients with a history of acute exacerbations will receive 2 doses of the investigational vaccine or placebo intramuscularly according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The effect of vaccination against two pathogens known to cause exacerbations (Non-typeable Haemophilus influenza [NTHi] and Moraxella catarrhalis [Mcat]) will be evaluated at pre-defined timepoints (scheduled study visits). In addition to the scheduled study visits, additional study visit(s) and/ or phone contact(s) will take place for each acute exacerbation of COPD occurring from first vaccination up to study conclusion.
The purpose of this long-term follow-up of a Phase I study is to evaluate the kinetics of the antibody response to NTHi-Mcat antigens and long-term safety, in subjects aged between 50-71 years at the time of enrolment in the NTHi-Mcat-001 study. These subjects were previously exposed to two adjuvanted formulations of the NTHi-Mcat vaccine administered according to a 0, 2 months schedule in the NTHi-Mcat-001 (201281) study. The subjects that had received saline placebo controls will also be included in this follow-up study to make comparisons with the investigational vaccines. No vaccinations will be administered in this trial.
Since the infectious aetiology of AECOPD has been suggested to vary according to geographical region, the primary purpose of this study (which will be conducted in several countries in Asia Pacific) is to evaluate the occurrence of bacterial and viral pathogens in the sputum of stable COPD patients and at the time of AECOPD. Given the increasing and projected burden of COPD in the Asia Pacific region, this study will also evaluate the frequency, severity and duration of AECOPD, as well as the impact of AECOPD on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), healthcare utilisation and lung function.
This study is conducted to determine whether the test product (GW483100 10 mg containing montelukast sodium equivalent to 10 mg of montelukast) is bioequivalent to the reference montelukast sodium 10 mg tablets (innovator product) in healthy adult volunteers under fasting conditions. This is an open-label, balanced, randomized, single dose, two-way crossover study, enrolling 32 healthy human subjects to ensure at least 28 subjects complete the study. Each subject enrolled will participate in two treatment periods separated by a washout period of at least 7 days and no more than 14 days between dosing occasions. Total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 7 weeks from screening to the subject's last visit.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational GSK Biologicals' GSK3277511A vaccine in adults
This study is designed to estimate the bioavailability of montelukast from the 5 milligrams (mg) montelukast sodium (GW483100) test formulations relative to 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product). It is an open-label, randomized, single dose, three-way cross over, six sequence study in 18 healthy human subjects. Each subject will participate in all three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomized to one of six sequences and administered one of the three treatments A, B or C in each treatment period, where Treatment A is 5mg chewable tablet of reference 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product), Treatment B is test formulation 1: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet and Treatment C is test formulation 2: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of 7 to 14 days. Total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 8 weeks from screening to the follow-up visit.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe (xenon) gas MRI for regional assessment of lung function in a normal population of adults for the purposes of obtaining optimal images through MRI.
