View clinical trials related to Chikungunya Fever.
Filter by:This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, observer-blinded, three arm, phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the full dose formulation of VLA1553, half dose formulation of VLA1553 and control. At least 300 male and female healthy children aged 1 to 11 years will be enrolled and the overall distribution of participants will be 2:2:1 to the two VLA1553 dose groups (n=120 each) or control (n=60).
This is a phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of VLA1553 in moderately immunocompromised adults with HIV infection.
The purpose of this phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled rollover study is to evaluate the safety and long-term immunogenicity of PXVX0317 in adult and adolescent participants and to evaluate PXVX0317 booster vaccine induced serum neutralizing antibody (SNA) response at 3, 4, or 5 years post-initial PXVX0317 vaccination.
Reunion Island was struck by a severe Chikungunya outbreak in 2005-2006. Three hundred and seven Chikungunya patients were evaluated by 4 rheumatologists 2 months after the initial infection (RHUMATOCHIK study). Eighty-three percents still reported joint pain and 43% joint swelling in telephone interviews after 32 months (Bouquillard et al., 2018). The primary objective of the present study is to assess and classify precisely persistent Chi-related joint diseases after 15 years, in a second rheumatology examination.
There are hundred of arbovirus which have been shown to cause disease in humans. Their most common clinical symptoms are algo-eruptive (dengue, chikungunya, zika), hemorrhagic fever (dengue, yellow fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever), neurological (West Nile, Zika, dengue, Japanese encephalitis) or arthritic afflictions (Chikungunya, O'nyong nyong). Dengue is a mosquito-born viral disease caused by 4 different serotypes of virus. Dengue fever (DF) is defined by the sudden onset of fever with non-specific constitutional symptoms, recovery occurring spontaneously in 3 to 7 days. The infection can sometimes progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) characterized by a transient increase in vascular permeability provoking a plasma leakage syndrome. DHF can be complicated by shock and internal hemorrhage. Other rarer complications include encephalitis, hepatitis, rhabdomyolysis and myocarditis. There is currently no way of predicting the outcome of DF or DHF and the WHO classification lacks sufficient sensitivity and specificity to recognize and guide the management of severe forms of dengue. The pathophysiology of these forms is also poorly known. Since 2000s, the French West Indies and Guiana have become hyperendemic for dengue with simultaneous circulation of the 4 serotypes, regular large outbreaks and severe dengue including fatalities. Chikungunya is a re-emerging virus causing massive epidemics in Africa, in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. The first autochthonous cases were described in French Antilles in Nov 2013. The disease typically consists of an acute illness like dengue fever with abrupt onset of a high-grade fever followed by constitutionals symptoms, poly-arthritis and skin involvement. Usually, the illness resolves in 4 to 6 weeks. However, severe clinical forms in early stage may appear and chronic clinical forms as incapacitating arthralgia which affect 40 to 60% of patients. In France, others arboviruses may cause severe emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases like Zika or West Nile. In non-immunized population these emerging diseases may cause outbreaks with specific severe clinical complications. The French interministerial mission on emerging infectious diseases coordinated by Professor Antoine Flahault, recommended such studies: large prospective multicenter cohort studies to characterize severe forms of arbovirus infections to seek predictive factors and to investigate the pathophysiology of the diseases.
