View clinical trials related to Tetanus.
Filter by:Background: Tetanus is a life-threatening disease in developing countries, and accompanied by a high mortality rate. China is the world's largest developing country, and Fujian Province is a typical coastal province in China with a relatively developed economy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology, incidence and management of tetanus in Fujian Province and to understand the current treatment and prognosis of tetanus patients in China. Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter observational study of patients who presented with a clinical diagnosis of tetanus at 5 general hospitals in Fujian. Data was analyzed using computer software system.
This is a prospective, open label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase 1 study measuring the safety and tetanus antibody responses to Tdap vaccine administered to plasma donors every 3 months ±1 week for 12 months (5 vaccinations) with a 6 month follow-up after the last vaccination. After obtaining informed consent and screening for eligibility including plasmapheresis donor eligibility, subjects will have other baseline assessments performed and if eligible, will receive the scheduled vaccinations, will be assessed for adverse events (AEs) and have plasma samples collected for antibody titers each month thereafter for 11 months, and then at 1 and 6 months after the last vaccination. As these subjects are participating in a standard donor plasmapheresis donor program, assessments for donor eligibility and routine plasmapheresis will be performed; however, only the data specifically required to meet the objectives of this study will be collected.
Pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus are seriously infectious diseases in children. Since using of the vaccine targeted the three components, it greatly reduced incidence of the three kinds of diseases. The Purpose of this study is to preliminary evaluate the safety of DTcP compared to adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus combined vaccine （DT），Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine（DTaP） or PENTAXIM（DTaP-IPV-Hib） in participants.
The primary objectives of this study are: - To describe the safety profile of each of the investigational vaccine formulations for all participants - To describe the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to all of the investigational vaccine formulations - To evaluate the dose response to vaccine components - To describe the magnitude, quality, and longevity of immune responses to each of the investigational vaccine formulations
The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans. The intervention targets patients of primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners) through a modification of the existing reminders in the VA electronic health record system. The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b Conjugate Vaccine Adsorbed in Vietnamese infants aged 6-12 weeks. This is an open label, single group, bridging study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity of BK1310 for all antigens (anti-PRP, diphtheria toxin, pertussis, tetanus toxin, and polio virus), after 3 times of injection, when compared noninferiority with co-administration of ActHIB® and Tetrabik, as well as efficacy and safety, in healthy infants.
Previous studies have shown that a small incentive can have a large impact on health behaviors like vaccinating children. New Incentives, an international non-governmental organization (NGO), aims to boost demand for immunization by offering cash incentives to caregivers who have their child vaccinated at a program clinic. In collaboration with New Incentives, IDinsight is conducting a study to see whether this approach will increase immunization in North West Nigeria. This study aims to investigate whether giving cash to caregivers in North West Nigeria who bring their infants to receive vaccination against common infections (tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib), pneumococcal bacteria, measles, rotavirus, polio, yellow fever) increases the proportion of children who are immunized. The study's main hypothesis is that New Incentives' program will increase the percentage of children immunized with BCG, any PENTA, or Measles 1 by an average increase of at least 7-percentage points across all program clinics that share a similar profile to the clinics New Incentives will operate in at scale. The study is taking place in Jigawa, Katsina, and Zamfara States between August 2017 and January 2020.
The response to primary tetanus immunization of HIV-infected children is lower than that of uninfected children. Response to tetanus toxoid (TT) booster doses in adults living with HIV who have received primary vaccination prior to infection is not known. Currently, it is recommended to have a TT booster for people living with HIV (PLHIV) every 10 years. In general population, this recall is made only at 25, 45 and 65 years, then every 10 years.
Invasive meningococcal disease and meningococcal meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis have their highest incidence in children, with a second peak in adolescents and young adults. The most important disease-causing serogroups are meningococcal serogroups A (MenA) and MenC in Asia, such as China. The specific vaccine use in each country depends on the predominant serogroups, cost, and availability. conjugate vaccines are preferred to polysaccharide vaccines due to their impact on decreasing nasopharyngeal carriage of N. meningitidis and their overall increased immunogenicity in children. This clinical trial is planning to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of bivalent meningococcal serogroups A and C tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine in Chinese healthy children aged 3 months to 5 years.
