Filter by:This study aims to estimate the risk factors associated with pertussis/whopping cough infection among infants less than one year of age in a United States (U.S.) commercially insured population. The study will utilize a large research data base associated with a geographically diverse U.S. health plan not limited by one geographic area or disease outbreak to evaluate pertussis in infants between 2005 and 2010. Healthcare costs and utilization among infants with a reported diagnosis of pertussis/whooping cough stratified by the number of DTaP vaccinations received prior to infection will also be reported.
The project goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether mobile phone short message system (SMS) reminders, either with or without mobile-phone based travel subsidies will improve timeliness, coverage, and drop-out rates of routine EPI vaccines in rural western Kenya.
The purpose of this follow-up study is to evaluate the persistence of antibodies against all the vaccine antigens 10 years after booster vaccination with either Tdap or Td, and also to assess immunogenicity and safety of another dose of Boostrix, administered in this study. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the extension phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00109330).
Monitoring immune response and longevity in serum and milk after Tdap administration to postpartum women. The clinical trial will involve women (aged 18 - 45 years) who have just delivered full-term infants (greater than or equal to 37 completed weeks of gestation) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The enrollment period will be fifteen months. The duration is over two years of observation.
This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine (ADACEL®, Tdap vaccine) as a booster dose in adolescents in Japan. Primary Objective: - To assess the immunogenicity of Tdap (SP306) when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents Secondary Objective: - To assess the safety of Tdap vaccine when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents.
The aim of the study is to further characterize the safety and immunogenicity of Menactra® in the population <2 years of age when administered alone and when the second dose is administered concomitantly with the 4th dose of Pentacel®, a licensed pediatric vaccine. Primary Objectives: - To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 induced by 2 injections of Menactra® in subjects aged 9 months at the first vaccination visit and 15 to 18 months at the second vaccination visit. - To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to Pertussis (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA] and pertactin [PRN]) antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® administered alone. - To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP), tetanus and diphtheria antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® alone. Observational Objectives: - To describe the safety profile (immediate unsolicited AEs within 30 minutes of each trial vaccination, solicited reactions within 7 days of each vaccination, unsolicited AEs within 30 days of each vaccination, and serious adverse events [SAEs] throughout the course of the trial from Day 0 up to Day 30 after the last trial vaccination[s]) in all trial groups - To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, measured by SBA HC, 30 days after the second Menactra® administration - To describe the antibody responses to Pentacel® (PT, FHA, PRN, FIM, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, PRP) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), or functional assays.
The aim of this study is to describe immunogenicity of a single booster dose of Adacel vaccine versus Boostrix vaccine among approximately 420 adolescents 11 to <13 years of age. Primary objective: - To describe seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. Observational objectives: - To describe pre- and post-vaccination tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. - To describe booster response rates against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. - To describe the rates of adverse events (AEs) immediately post-vaccination, and the rates of unsolicited AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Boostrix vaccine from Visit 1 through Visit 2.
Primary objective: This is a descriptive study and the primary objective is to determine the incidence of injection site and systemic adverse events after Triaxis administration as a 5th dose of tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine in 4-6 year old children
This study aims to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of Infanrix-IPV+Hib™ when administered to healthy Vietnamese toddlers at 12 to 24 months of age who were vaccinated previously against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis diseases within their first six months of lives.
The purpose of this study is to collect safety information following routine vaccination with Infanrix-IPV among infants and children in Korea.
