Filter by:In this study, the investigators will prospectively assess fever rates and other associated vaccine adverse events in 6-23 month old patients during days 0-7 after administration of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) concomitantly compared to those who receive trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administered non-concomitantly. The investigators hypothesize that fever rates will be significantly higher during the 0-1 days after vaccination when inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are given concomitantly than when TIV or PCV13 is administered non-concomitantly.
This study is addressed to patients suffering from an acute febrile upper respiratory tract infection suspected to be of viral origin. The purpose of this study is to determine the antipyretic efficacy (reduction of fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state) of Aspirin in doses of 500 and 1000 mg (study medication) compared to the one of Paracetamol in doses of 500 and 1000 mg (comparator medication) as well as the one of Placebo (comparator medication without an active substance). Despite of its common use for fever treatment, the scientific data in adults which support the antipyretic efficacy of Aspirin are sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to collect such data.
This international, prospective, observational, open-label, pharmaco-epidemiologic study observes cancer patients at risk for chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia (FN) who are receiving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006) for primary or secondary FN prophylaxis to better describe the patient population at risk for FN and treated prophylactically in physician's best clinical judgement with filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), to describe prophylaxis patterns involving filgrastim biosimilar (EP2006), and to evaluate hematology levels and variability in hematological outcomes, impact on chemotherapy delivery, radiotherapy, surgery, and mortality. Additionally the study aims to identify patient cohorts who are vulnerable to poor response to FN prophylaxis and experience break-through episodes of FN, understand the differences between prophylaxis responders and non-responders, and describe the degree to which prophylaxis of FN is in congruence with guideline recommendations.
Q-fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, an intracellular bacterium. Since the epidemic outbreak of acute Q-fever in Holland nearly 4030 people have been registered with the acute form of the disease. Knowing that only 40% of all infected people develop symptoms, the number of infected people (and potential candidates for chronic Q-fever) are much higher. Chronic Q-fever generally manifest itself after a couple of months or years after the primary infection (in 1-5% of all cases). The clinical presentation can be a life-threatening and frequently underdiagnosed disease, as endocarditis, infected aneurysm and vascular prosthesis or chronic Q-fever related to pregnancy and immunecompromised patients. That's why a screening program is started in the endemic area and trace patients with chronic Q-fever. So eventually, a greater group of patients with chronic vascular Q-fever can be described. In addition, there is still no therapeutic guideline for management of chronic Q-fever in patient with a vascular chronic Q-fever. Patients with an aneurysm or vascular graft will be screened for chronic Q-fever. Patients with chronic Q-fever will be included in a follow-up program, in which additional research and treatment will start. The initial treatment of patients with chronic Q-fever is doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine for at least 18 months. In addition, patients will be monitored in 3-monthly controls, blood samples and imaging will be done. Parameters as complaints, titers, circulating DNA, grow of aneurysm, complications etc. will be investigated. Ultimately, the current therapeutic guideline for management of C. burnetii will be evaluated if it can also be applied for patients with vascular chronic Q-fever.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether short-course antibiotic therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the role of anti-d in dengue fever.
The study was designed to evaluate whether the first CYD dengue vaccination can be administered concomitantly with Stamaril® yellow fever vaccine during the same day and visit, but at 2 different sites of administration. Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response against Yellow Fever (YF) in flavivirus (FV) non-immune subjects at baseline receiving one dose of Stamaril vaccine administered concomitantly with the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine compared to participants receiving one dose of Stamaril vaccine concomitantly with placebo. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the non-inferiority of YF immune response 28 days post-Stamaril vaccination based on seroconversion rates regardless of the FV status of participants at baseline. - To describe the YF immune response 28 days post-Stamaril vaccination in both groups. - To describe the antibody (Ab) response to each dengue virus serotype 28 days post CYD dengue vaccine (Visit [V] 05 and V07), following CYD dengue vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 from Group 2 versus following CYD dengue vaccine Dose 2 and Dose 3 for Group 1 (effect of YF vaccination). - To describe the safety of Stamaril vaccine administered concomitantly with the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine, or Stamaril administered concomitantly with placebo. - To describe the safety of CYD dengue vaccine after the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine administered concomitantly with Stamaril vaccine or CYD vaccine administered alone. - To describe the safety of the CYD dengue vaccine in all participants after each dose.
Main objective : To develop the tools for evaluation of humoral and cell-mediated immunity after Yellow Fever Vaccine (YFV) and compare virological and immune responses in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals who had not been given YFV before. Secondary objectives : - To develop and assess ELISPOT technology for yellow fever and to measure the response within 7, 14, 28, 90 and 365 days of administration of YFV in 30 HIV negative subjects and 40 HIV positive subjects (CD4 > 350/mm3 under Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) for at least one year, with a viral load < 50 copies/mL since at least 6 months) in terms of : (1) seroconversion by fluorescence, (2) cytotoxic response in ELISPOT, (3) neutralizing antibody levels in Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT:reference method) and a new pseudotype based method, (4) post-vaccination viremia and (5) diversity of viral quasi-species. - To assess the impact of YFV on the T-lymphocyte response against HIV by ELISPOT and viral load.
The investigators aim to compare two antibiotic treatments for enteric (typhoid) fever. Three hundred patients at Patan Hospital will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be assigned to one of the two treatments by chance and followed for 6 months. The two treatment groups will be compared to see which treatment is more likely to make the patient better.
Using an established model of human typhoid infection, whereby healthy adults are deliberately infected with typhoid-causing bacteria, the investigators will determine how effective a new oral typhoid vaccine (M01ZH09) is in preventing infection. A previously licensed oral typhoid vaccine (Ty21a) will be used to make sure the challenge model used works properly.
