Patients enrolled on this study will have received a stem cell transplant. After a transplant, while the immune system grows back the patient is at risk for infection. Some viruses can stay in the body for life and if the immune system is weakened, like after a transplant, they can cause life threatening infections. Patients enrolled on this study will have had an infection with one or more of the following viruses - Epstein Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), BK virus, JC virus, adenovirus or HHV6 (Human Herpes Virus 6). Investigators want to see if they can use a kind of white blood cell called T cells to treat infections of these viruses after a transplant. Investigators have observed in other studies that treatment with specially trained T cells has been successful when the cells are made from the transplant donor. However as it takes 1-2 months to make the cells, that approach is not practical when a patient already has an infection. Investigators have now generated multivirus-specific T cells (VSTs) from the blood of healthy donors and created a bank of these cells. Investigators have previously successfully used frozen multivirus-specific T cells from healthy donors to treat virus infections after bone marrow transplant and now have improved the production method to make it safer and target more viruses. In this study, investigators want to find out if they can use these banked VSTs to fight infections caused by the viruses mentioned above.
Influenza poses a heavy burden to our health service. The WHO estimates that seasonal influenza causes 250,000-500,000 deaths worldwide each year. Various strategies including intradermal vaccination and new vaccine adjuvants have been shown to improve immunogenicity. Recently, imiquimod, a synthetic Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist useful for the treatment of DNA virus infection, have been shown to improve vaccine immunogenicity against influenza virus in mouse model. The objective of this prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect and safety of topical treatment with imiquimod immediately before intradermal influenza vaccination in healthy young adults.
This study is designed to compare the antiviral effect of ALS-008176 compared to a placebo control in the respiratory syncytial virus challenge model.
The purpose of this study is: • To obtain additional data on therapeutic efficacy of Anaferon for children in the treatment of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections in children
The primary aim of the project is to increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine receipt rates among low-income, ethnic minority adolescents (girls and boys 11-17 years of age) in Los Angeles County. We will accomplish this goal by implementing and rigorously evaluating interventions in multiple venues that serve our target population, including the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and two large Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Our hypotheses are: Primary hypothesis: 1. The intervention group will have a higher rate of HPV vaccine initiation at follow-up compared to the control group. Secondary hypothesis: 2. The intervention group will have higher vaccine completion rates (3 doses) at follow-up compared to the control group.
The objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single-ascending oral dose of UV-4B in healthy subjects and to determine pharmacokinetic parameters describing absorption and elimination following a single dose of UV-4B in healthy subjects.
This phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel and carboplatin before radiation therapy with paclitaxel works in treating human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients with stage III-IV oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin before radiation therapy with paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of illness in infants and children around the world. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an RSV vaccine in RSV-seronegative infants and children. This study is a companion study to IMPAACT 2000.
A phase I trial conducted in a single centre, observer-blind, randomized, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 intramuscular injections of plant-based H7 VLP Influenza Vaccine administered to healthy adults, 18-60 years of age.
