Filter by:Cholera still remains a global public health concern affecting both children and adults, and patients can succumb in quick time if remain untreated. Cholera is a secretory diarrhea and is generally treated with oral or intravenous rehydration therapy to compensate for the fluid loss. However, antimicrobial treatment is given to patients with moderate to severe diarrhea. The consistent emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is a major concern for the management of infectious diseases including cholera. No antisecretory drug has so far been proven successful. In a phase II clinical trial, the investigators will assess the effectiveness of a novel antisecretory drug VR-AD-1005 for treating cholera. Changes in stool volume and rehydration therapy will be assessed for VR-AD-1005 in comparison with placebo. If successful, this will be a huge advance in managing cholera and other secretory diarrhea. The introduction of the antisecretory drug can minimize the hospital stay and reduce antibiotic use, which in turn can reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance among pathogens
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the coadministration of oral typhoid fever (Vivotif®) and cholera (Dukoral®) vaccines in healthy volunteers aged 18-65 years. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does coadministration impact the immune responses to Vivotif® and Dukoral® vaccines Participants will: - receive either oral typhoid fever (Vivotif®) or oral cholera (Dukoral®) vaccines or both simultaneously - give blood samples for immunogenicity analyses - participate in adverse event follow up Researchers will compare those receiving only one of the vaccines to those receiving both simultaneously to see if coadministration has an impact on antigen-specific responses measured with: - ELISPOT (plasmablast responses specific to Salmonella typhi, Vibrio Cholerae and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli) - ELISA (antibodies in lymphocyte supernatants (ALS) and serum antibodies specific to vaccine antigens)
Objective: The investigators objective is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a case area targeted water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) intervention in reducing cholera infections and increasing sustained WASH behaviors in transmission hotspots in a ring around cholera cases.
This project aims to fill this essential knowledge gap by assessing the impact of oral cholera vaccine mass campaigns in 2 sites (urban and rural) in DRC, described in this protocol. The evidence generated from this project will be key to develop future strategies regarding cholera vaccine use in endemic settings, including places with higher burden in terms of cholera mortality
Diarrhea remains a leading killer of children in need of better treatments.
An open-label, randomized controlled, non-inferiority study of co-administration of OCV, TCV and MR vaccines among children 12 to 59 months of age in Dhaka, Bangladesh will be conducted. Children who did not receive any of the aforementioned vaccines will be included in the study. This study will be conducted among 2117 children of 12-59 months of age residing in Mirpur area (wards 4, and 6-16) of Dhaka north and Kamrangirchar, Hazaribag and Rayerbazar areas (wards 14, 22, 56, 57, and 58) of Dhaka south to enroll the required number of participants. Only children who have not previously received the vaccines will be enrolled. The findings of this study are likely to have a significant impact on vaccine co-administration strategies for campaign and routine immunization programs. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the six arms. The numbers are defined for each arm based on the sample size calculation. A list of children who did not receive MR, OCV and TCV will be prepared before enrollment by trained study staff (TSS). The TSSs will visit households in the defined study area and ask if the parents/guardians of children aged 12-59 months are willing to participate in the study. If they show willingness to participate, the TSSs will check their vaccination cards (if available) and prepare the list of potentially eligible children who have not received OCV, TCV and MR based on their vaccination card status and verbal statement (if vaccination card is not available). The investigators will enroll the participants after obtaining informed written consent and collect around 2-3 ml blood from each participant at different time points.
A Phase III randomized, modified double-blind, multi-centric, comparative study, to evaluate the non-inferiority of immunogenicity and safety of single strain oral cholera vaccine Hillchol® (BBV131) to the comparator vaccine Shanchol™ along with lot-to-lot consistency of Hillchol®(BBV131). Study Population: A total of 1800 participants will be enrolled in three descending age groups(Group I- ≥18, Group II: ≥5 to <18 and Group III: ≥1 to <5). In each group,600 participants will be enrolled and will receive two doses of Hillchol® (BBV131) vaccine two weeks apart.
This study is a first-in-human, Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of PanChol in healthy volunteers. There will be three modules in this clinical trial assessing dosing, safety, and immunogenicity: 1. a fixed dose-ranging module, 2. an adaptive dose-finding/optimization module, and 3. a placebo-controlled expansion module.
This Phase I, first-in-human study is intended to primarily determine the safety of the dose range with or without Aluminum phosphate adjuvant expected to be needed for later clinical studies, to determine the nature of adverse reactions (i.e., safety profile) and to secondly assess the Aluminum phosphate humoral immune responses in non-endemic population to guide future dose selection.
A Phase III randomized, modified double-blind, multi-centric, comparative study, to evaluate the noninferiority of immunogenicity and safety of single strain oral cholera vaccine Hillchol® (BBV131) to the comparator vaccine Shanchol™ along with lot-to-lot consistency of Hillchol® (BBV131). Study Population: A total of 1800 participants will be enrolled in three descending age groups (Group I- >18, Group II: > 5 to <18 and Group-III: >1 to <5) in 3(1350):1(450) ratio. In each group 600 participants will be enrolled and among 600 participants 450 participants will receive any lot of Hillchol® (BBV131) and 150 participants will receive Shanchol™. DSMB and report:After completion of 7 days post 1st dose for 40 participants (Hillchol (BBV131):10-Lot-I,10-Lot-II,10-Lot-III and 10-shanchol) in the Group I, safety data of these participants will be reviewed by Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and based on their recommendation, study will progress by recruiting remaining 560 participants in the group I and starting recruitment of participants for group II. After completion of 7 days post 1st dose for 40 participants (Hillchol (BBV131):10-Lot-I,10-Lot-II,10-Lot-III and 10-shanchol) in the Group II, safety data of these participants will be reviewed by Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and based on their recommendation, study will progress by recruiting remaining 560 participants in the group II and starting recruitment of participants for group III. After completion of 7 days post 1st dose for 40 participants (Hillchol (BBV131): 10-Lot-I, 10-Lot-II, 10-Lot-III and 10-shanchol) in the Group III, safety data of these subjects will be reviewed by Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and based on their recommendation, study will progress by recruiting remaining 560 participants in the group III. A Final report will be generated, based on the safety and immunogenicity of the oral cholera vaccine (Hillchol®) will be notified to the Data safety monitoring board and Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), India.
