Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to prove the no less immunogenicity of the Grippol Quadrivalent vaccine compared to the Grippol plus vaccine in children aged 6 months to 5 years (inclusive) for three identical strains of the compared vaccines in terms of the "proportion of vaccinated with seroconversion in paired sera of the hemagglutination inhibition reaction obtained before and after vaccination".
The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of enhancing immunity in newly born infants fed with Feihe investigational formula product containing Lactoferrin fortified with HMO. The main question it aims to answer is: - whether the immunity functions of participants in terms of frequency of catching flu and cold in the study product arm is significantly better than participants assigned in the other two arms. 240 qualified participants will be randomized to 3 arms (investigational formula, control formula, and breast-feeding) to consume assigned formula or breast-feeding for 12 months according to protocol. There will be up to 6 site visits arranged for each participant during the study, and all relevant clinical and questionnaire data, including the most important primary outcome - frequency of catching flu and cold for each visit interval, will be captured, recorded and entered to CMTS (Clinical Management Trial System) for statistical analysis and reporting. Researchers will compare the three arms to validate the assumption that the consumption of Feihe investigational formula product containing Lactoferrin fortified with HMO will improve immunity in newly born infants, along with physical development.
This study will be a multisite, cluster randomized, pragmatic trial to evaluate the effectiveness of personalized nudges to clinicians and patients, relative to a control, to increase flu vaccination rates among older adults in accordance with CDC guidelines. This will include clinician and patient level nudge interventions, with an additional, intensified nudge intervention for patients identified as high risk for not receiving a flu vaccine. Among the intervention clinics, patients will receive pre-visit text message reminders about the flu vaccine, and clinicians will receive a default pended order in the visit encounter in the EHR, along with monthly peer comparison feedback about their flu vaccine completion rate. Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging.
This research programme seeks to combine the resources of NHS primary care, with the leading spectroscopic work in low-magnetic fields of the Wilson Group (Nottingham Trent University) to demonstrate the potential for benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in human clinical pathology. This is an instrument assessment study for point of care viability which will also result in enhanced patient care (pending their consent) in blood screenings and metabolic health data.
The purpose of this study is to confirm and quantify the effects of ElderCraft® elderberry extract on immune health.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy profile of the food supplement (KUNAMIN®) containing grape juice, seed, stem, and bark given to patients treated with the established treatment regimen against novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) via comparing Kunamin® group versus control group in a clinical trial. In this study, both the therapeutic effect and the safety of the Kunamin® product has been evaluated. The study has been conducted on COVID-19 infected patients. Within the scope of the study, Covid-19 patients consisting of male and female patients are examined to evaluate the therapeutic effect. COVID-19 infected patients are divided into 2 groups and the treatment group received grape food supplements for 15 days in addition to their standard treatment. The other group received only standard therapy. The effects of supplements containing grape products on the COVID-19 infection process of patients are investigated, as indicated in the primary, secondary, and tertiary endpoints. For this purpose, both the observation of routine examination findings and the effectiveness of food supplements on viral load and antibody levels are investigated. In the follow-up that continues for 30 days, COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test made in USA approved by FDA is used to monitor the efficacy of Kunamin® as patient treated by Kunamin® viral load is diminished either after 5 days, 10 days or 15 days, COVID-19 Rapid Antibody test made in USA approved by FDA has been used to monitor the development of IgM and IgG antibodies on day 0, day 5th, day 10th, day 15th and day 30th in addition to PCR test of Perkinelmer by Kayseri hospital. In conjunction, the sponsor used AIT Laboratories A HealthTrackRx Company PCR test CLIA and FDA approved for not only COVID-19 but also 27 kinds of cold and flu viruses and 90 different kinds of bacteria. The number of patients planned for randomization was 240, however due to dropouts the hospital was able to screen 132 patients. Out of 132 patients we were able to enroll randomized total of 71 patients, 47 patients in the research arm and 24 in the control arm.
Seasonal influenza is a frequent disorder with high impact on morbidity and mortality and significant burden on healthcare-related cost. In France, the 2018-2019 flu epidemic has led to 13,100 all-cause death including 9,900 death directly related to the viral infection. As cross-transmission of influenza is responsible for nosocomial outbreaks, preventing transmission of infectious agents in healthcare settings is a major issue. If vaccination of patients and healthcare givers remains cornerstone, control procedures are mandatory. Therefore patients admitted with influenza require isolation precautions including admission in a single room and protective measures. Based on experts advise, isolation is currently recommended for 5 to 8 days. Duration of isolation depends on immune status and antiviral therapy. However, during periods of epidemic, every hospital room is valuable and each ressource has to be tightly used. Risk of contamination is related to the presence of influenza in the upper airways. To the Promoteur 's knowledge, presence of influenza in the upper airways has not been studied in patients receiving oseltamivir. The question is : Do duration of isolation in patients admitted with flu decreas when they are treated with antiviral therapy. To answer this question The Promoteur would aim to determine influenza carriage in the upper airways in in-patients treated by olsetamivir.
Seasonal influenza surveillance in France relies on several sources to detect the onset of the epidemic early, as well as to estimate the severity of epidemics and their impact on the health system. However, the data collected do not fully measure the impact of epidemics on the hospital system. Increasing the investigator's knowledge of the impact of influenza on the hospital system, particularly on emergencies, which are the most affected service, is essential to better adapt the resources put in place to care for patients. The study will allow a better understanding of the influenza burden, by systematically documenting the severe events (i.e. requiring consultations to the Emergency Rooms) that are triggered by influenza but not necessarily reported/recorded as influenza.
This proposed study is designed to assess the efficacy of a capsule containing beta-glucan taken orally daily as compared to a placebo capsule on the URTI symptoms, and the immune response change in marathon runners
Adjuvanted flu vaccine, Fluad, is not immunologically inferior to HD influenza vaccine in older persons living in long-term care.
