Filter by:Randomized, observer-blinded, multicenter, dose-escalation Phase 1 clinical study investigating three dose levels of VLA1553 after a single immunization. 120 study participants will be enrolled into the study to receive three different doses (30 subjects in the low and medium and 60 subjects in the high dose group). Vaccination will be given intramuscularly on Day 0. As safety precaution, the study will begin with enrolment of 20 sentinel subjects in an open-label fashion. Thereafter, subjects will be enrolled in a blinded, randomized manner in the three study arms. A re-vaccination will be given at Month 6 or Month 12 to confirm that a single vaccination will be sufficient to induce high titer neutralizing antibodies and protect subjects from CHIKV viremia. Study participants will be followed up until 13 months after initial vaccination.
This clinical study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of VAL-181388 in healthy participants.
This is a multi-center case-control study that aims to define the association between the exposure to an arbovirus infection and the development of a neurological syndrome in patients from Colombia. The study makes part of the Neurovirus Emerging in the Americas Study (NEAS) that is a collaborative effort that looks to combine the efforts of researchers, healthcare providers and patients in Colombia to establish a comprehensive registry of the clinical, radiological and laboratory profile of patients with new onset of neurological diseases associated mosquito-borne viruses, known as arboviruses.
The clinical study primarily assesses the safety of MV-CHIK a new Chikungunya vaccine in a previously epidemic area in healthy volunteers. Secondarily, immune response and viremia will be assessed. MV-CHIK will be compared to the commercially available MMR vaccine. 80% of the subjects will receive MV-CHIK; 20% will receive MMR vaccine.
Chikungunya fever is an acute viral disease, transmitted by the mosquito (Aedes aegypti), that triggers pain and disabling rheumatic manifestations. There is no cure for this disease, and the usual treatment is directed at relieving symptoms through the use of analgesics and antipyretics. Due to the risk of adverse effects triggered by prolonged use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, the use of complementary therapies, such as Auriculotherapy, might be a safe and effective non-pharmacological treatment for the management of Chikungunya symptomatic cases. Subjects diagnosed with Chikungunya and undergoing routine treatment will receive auricotherapy treatment once a week, for five weeks. Subjects will be assessed at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks after intervention. This study might help understand the use of Auriculotherapy as a complementary treatment in the treatment of physical and functional symptoms of individuals infected by Chikungunya .
This is a single center, prospective, randomized controlled open label trial with a one sided cross over design to compare the efficacy of initiating Methotrexate(Mtx) in early post Chikungunya induced arthritis (4-12 weeks after onset) with Non Steroidal Anti inflammatory Drugs(NSAID) alone.
This study is a randomized, double-blinded, Phase 1, placebo- controlled, and dose comparison trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and schedule of MV-CHIK. Two dosage levels and 3 immunization schedules will be evaluated. This study will enroll up to 180 healthy subjects aged 18 to 45 years.Study duration is approximately 22 months. Subject participation duration is approximately 8-13 months. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 5 x 10^4 TCID50 and 5 x 10^5 TCID50 MV-CHIK and placebo following two consecutive intramuscular injections and to assess the CHIKV serum plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) antibody responses to 5 x 10^4 TCID50, 5 x 10^5 TCID50 of MV-CHIK or placebo on day 29 following the first dose.
One of the major challenges faced by researchers working in the field of rehabilitation science is the ability to provide integrative approaches to the use of clinical practice. In this context it becomes increasingly necessary to construct investigative approaches, so that they can reach clinical practice in a shorter period of time,since the large volume of information produced globally does not impact in the short or medium term on new therapeutic recommendations. Among the various chronic painful entities, there is chikungunya fever as a highlight for having a rich clinical chronology in relation to pain. Its therapy is used done by drugs in almost all national and international consensuses, therefore therapy against pain in chikungunya fever is limited during the rehabilitation process. It is very important that the science of rehabilitation enhances methods of noninvasive brain modulation that enable, through the excitation or inhibition of specific cortical areas to produce pain inhibiting effects, providing a simple and low cost treatment to the clinical routine.Technological advances and non-invasive techniques to modulate brain function have been developed, for instance, Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). The objective of the present project is to present the tDCS as a new modality of physical rehabilitation for the patient with chronic pain resulting from chikungunya fever. The purpose of the study is to present physical, behavioral and social results of the application of tDCS in chikungunya fever, suggesting an improvement in the quality of life and functional status of the individual.
QoLCHIK study aims at evaluating impact of chikungunya infection on the quality of life of infected people during the 2005-2006 outbreak in Reunion Island and followed in the TELECHIK cohort by comparing scores of SF-36 health survey.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a novel vaccine against Chikungunya virus after one or two vaccinations by comparison of two different dose levels.
