Filter by:The first outbreak of a new H1N1 influenza pandemic originated in the North America in April 2009. As of July 1, 2009, a total of 77,201 cases were accumulated in 103 countries around the world and the mortality rate of was about 0.43%. Alignment and analysis on gene sequences of the new H1N1 influenza virus found that it contains extremely homologous gene composition with that of the swine influenza viruses (swine flu) identified in Europe and North America in last century. Thus the virus strain was later renamed as a novel influenza H1N1. In general, the symptoms caused by the new influenza H1N1 infection was very similar to those resulted from seasonal influenza viral infection. Thus, it is difficult to distinguish the various influenza strains responsible for the infections only by clinical appearance. To compare the accuracy, specificity and sensitivity and speed in identifying the new influenza H1N1 in suspected cases, the investigators extracted RNA from influenza A-positive reactive specimens identified by a Influenza Rapid Test, for a Real-time PCR method to further detect the presence of swine H1 gene. In addition, the titer of H1N1 virus, the color development on the test stripe and clinical symptoms in patients were significantly associated. Finally, Real-time PCR products were subjected to sequence determination to explore potential new influenza pathogenicity, transmissibility and drug usage.
This is a phase III, randomized, controlled, open label study with two vaccine regimens. The study will assess the relative safety and immunogenicity of vaccine regimens comparing adjuvanted versus non-adjuvanted formulations of A(H1N1) inactivated influenza virus vaccine in subjects with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Infection and to compare safety and immunogenicity data with a contemporaneously enrolled control group of age-comparable, healthy subjects. Because certain individuals may be hypo-responsive to influenza vaccination, additional studies with high-risk groups are warranted in order to determine the optimal vaccine formulation and dosing schedule for prevention of novel H1N1 virus infection.
This is a phase III, randomized, controlled, open label study with two vaccine regimens. The study will assess the relative safety and immunogenicity of vaccine regimens comparing adjuvanted versus non-adjuvanted formulations of A(H1N1) inactivated influenza virus vaccine in subjects with Chronic Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Heart Disease, or Diabetes Mellitus, and to compare safety and immunogenicity data with a contemporaneously enrolled control group of age-comparable, healthy subjects. Because certain individuals may be hypo-responsive to influenza vaccination, additional studies with high-risk groups are warranted in order to determine the optimal vaccine formulation and dosing schedule for prevention of novel H1N1 virus infection.
This is a phase III, randomized, controlled, open label study with two vaccine regimens. The study will assess the relative safety and immunogenicity of vaccine regimens comparing adjuvanted versus non-adjuvanted formulations of A(H1N1) inactivated influenza virus vaccine in subjects with Solid Invasive Tumors and to compare safety and immunogenicity data with a contemporaneously enrolled control group of age-comparable, healthy subjects. Because certain individuals may be hypo-responsive to influenza vaccination, additional studies with high-risk groups are warranted in order to determine the optimal vaccine formulation and dosing schedule for prevention of novel H1N1 virus infection.
Children and people infected with HIV are particularly susceptible to influenza infections. This study testED the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine for the new H1N1 influenza virus in children and youth infected with HIV.
Both pregnant women and people infected with HIV are at increased risk of viral infection, including influenza infection. Pregnant women infected with HIV may be at particular risk of infection from the new H1N1 influenza virus. This study tested the safety and immunogenicity of an H1N1 influenza vaccine in pregnant women infected with HIV.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the body's immune response (body's defense against disease) to an experimental H1N1 influenza vaccine in people with asthma. The study will enroll 350, and possibly up to 400 healthy adults ages 12 and older with mild, moderate, or severe asthma. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible vaccine groups: group 1 will receive 15 mcg of H1N1 vaccine; group 2 will receive 30 mcg of H1N1 vaccine given as two 15 mcg injections. Both groups will receive vaccine injections on days 0 and 21. Study procedures include: medical history, physical exam, spirometry, maintaining a memory aid and, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 7 months.
