Filter by:This project aims to evaluate the performance characteristics of rapid tests to differentiate bacterial from non-bacterial infection in febrile adults and children presenting at OPDs (outpatient departments) i.e.("fever triage assays") in three LMICs. The evaluation will include a different commercial biomarker combinations as well as individual biomarkers to assess their individual or combined value in the target population. Markers will be evaluated onsite in ELISA or RDT format, as appropriate. Further, this study aims to contribute to a centralized biobank of well-characterized specimens for use by IVD companies and academic institutions for the development and evaluation of emerging assays.
This study covers the first trial of the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic fever virus (CKKA) vaccine on humans (healthy volunteers), which has been developed in Turkey and has completed preclinical toxicology studies to be performed on experimental animals. Also, this study is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, national, single-center, placebo-controlled study that is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CKKA vaccine. A total of 60 (12 + 48) healthy male and/or female volunteers will be participating in this study, and the study is planned to last approximately one year.
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.
The aim of the study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the CYD dengue vaccine and Gardasil (Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent [Types 6, 11, 16, and 18] Vaccine, Recombinant) when administered concomitantly or sequentially. Primary objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of geometric mean titers [GMTs]) to Gardasil after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Gardasil. - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response to the CYD dengue vaccine after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with Gardasil measured 28 days after the last dose of the CYD dengue vaccine. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of seroconversion) to Gardasil vaccine after concomitant administration was non-inferior to sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Gardasil. - To describe the humoral immune response to Gardasil at baseline and after each dose of Gardasil in each and any group. - To describe the humoral immune response to the CYD dengue vaccine at baseline and after each dose of the CYD dengue vaccine in each and any group. - To describe the safety of Gardasil and the CYD dengue vaccine after each and any dose in each group.
In July 2016, the demand for yellow fever vaccines in response to the large urban outbreaks occurring concurrently and the risk of further spread through the African continent and even to Asia, was larger than the available supply. In this situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed recommendations for the use of fractional-dose of yellow fever vaccine as a dose-sparing strategy. These recommendations were based on limited number of clinical trials and additional studies should assess the applicability of the fractional dose to all WHO-prequalified vaccines, the persistence of neutralizing antibodies and the performance of the fractional dose in young children and populations in Africa including those with HIV. This study aims to respond to some of the research questions that would allow broadening the recommendations on the use of fractional doses of yellow fever vaccine in emergency situations. The study will be conducted in Uganda and Kenya and the main objective is to assess the non-inferiority is seroconversion 28 days after vaccination of a fractional dose compared to full dose for each WHO-prequalified manufacturer. As secondary objectives the study will assess seroprotection 10 days and 1 year after vaccination, to assess rapidity and persistence of protective antibody levels; describe the geometric mean titre and the change in neutralizing antibody on Day 28 days after vaccination with fractional and full doses; and assess the occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events (SAE) during 28 days after administration of fractional and full doses. The study consists of a randomized non-inferiority trial. The study aims to start in April 2017 in the two sites and aims to recruit 960 adults. Results for the main outcome will be reviewed by the study Data and Safety Monitoring Board and one vaccine will be selected for the studies in children and HIV positive adults.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether moderate-severe endpoints (including high fever, lower respiratory tract disease, acute otitis media, or serious extra-pulmonary complications) were predictive of hospitalization, intensive care admission, antibiotic use and other complications in children under 8 years of age.
The aim of this study was to investigate the immunogenicity and safety of CYD dengue vaccine and Cervarix when administered concomitantly or sequentially in healthy female participants aged 9-14 years of age. Primary objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of geometric mean titers [GMTs]) to Cervarix after concomitant administration with the CYD dengue vaccine is non-inferior to the humoral immune response (in terms of GMTs) after sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Cervarix. - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of GMTs) to the CYD dengue vaccine after concomitant administration with Cervarix is non-inferior to the humoral immune response (in terms of GMTs) to the CYD dengue vaccine after sequential administration with Cervarix measured 28 days after the last dose of the CYD dengue vaccine. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate that the humoral immune response (in terms of seroconversion) to Cervarix after concomitant administration with the CYD dengue vaccine is non-inferior to the humoral immune response (in terms of seroconversion) to Cervarix sequential administration with the CYD dengue vaccine measured 28 days after the last dose of Cervarix. - To describe the humoral immune response to Cervarix at baseline and after each dose of Cervarix in each and any group. - To describe the humoral immune response to the CYD dengue vaccine at baseline and after each dose of the CYD dengue vaccine, in each and any group. - To describe the safety of Cervarix and CYD dengue vaccine after each and any dose in each group.
Ear thermometers are often requested to be used rather than rectal thermometer (gold standard) for measuring the body temperature, as this method is faster and more user friendly. Former ear thermometers did not meet the required standards of accuracy for clinical use. However, a new generation of ear thermometers have been developed and widely used in the Emergency departments in Denmark. The devices have only been evaluated in two studies on adult populations, with conflicting results. This cross-sectional study will examine patients by measuring both ear and rectal temperature in the same patient at the same time on admission to an emergency department, to evaluate if temperature measured in the ear can be used as the standard temperature measurement.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir in treating patients with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
