Filter by:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is well-established therapy for patients with malignant hematological diseases. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, clinically manifested as herpes zoster (HZ), is a major complication that affects up to 50% of patients. Most patients will require hospitalization. Despite treatment with high dose acyclovir, patients may develop severe complications including the disabling postherpetic neuralgia, corneal ulceration, viral dissemination and secondary bacterial infection. The median onset of infection is the fifth month following transplantation, with 91% of cases occurring within the first year. Direct vaccination of transplants recipients with subcutaneous live-attenuated VZVv before transplantation and up to one year after transplantation is contraindicated. A small prospective non-randomized study has demonstrated that subcutaneous vaccination for donors before HSCT may offer some protection against VZV reactivation in the recipients. Recently, dose-sparing influenza vaccine delivered via a novel intradermal microneedle has been shown to elicit a good immunogenic response in both healthy and elderly subjects. We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of the novel intradermal live-attenuated VZVv in sibling donors undergoing HSCT.
This study is designed to evaluate the potential for a PK drug-drug interaction between FV-100 and ritonavir. The study is a single-center, open-label, randomized, 2-way crossover design in healthy volunteers.
The study will evaluate the consistency of 3 lots of inactivated VZV vaccine for safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in healthy adults. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the 3 lots of inactivated vaccine will demonstrate similar immunogenicity at 28 days after the fourth dose.
The purpose of this study is to observe the occurrence of adverse events, seroconversion rate and geometric mean titres(GMTs) of 2 doses of live attenuated varicella vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of Vacyless® and Valtrex® in patients with acute herpes zoster.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Foscarnet Sodium and Sodium Chloride Injection in patients with herpes zoster, and observe incidence of Postherpetic neuralgia
The objective of the study is as follows: 1. To know the antibody level during different interval after received 1 dose varicella vaccine. 2. To know safety and effectiveness of received 2 doses varicella vaccine with different interval. 3. To know safety and effectiveness of received varicella vaccine and MMR at the same time. To achieve that, this study selects children with specific varicella vaccine history, gives 1 or 2 doses varicella vaccine, collects blood specimens and makes a follow-up visit after vaccination. All blood specimens will be tested by a third-party detection institution.
This study will compare the two vaccines that have been developed to prevent and/or lessen the effects of shingles. One vaccine is live (Zostavax, licensed by FDA) and the other, herpes zoster subunit (HZ/su), contains a piece of the shingles virus (not live) and an ingredient that may enhance the body's immune response to the vaccine, and is currently investigational. The vaccines are being compared to assess their ability to stimulated protection against shingles. The study will provide an opportunity to determine the safety profile of each vaccine in a single trial. The study will also look at the effect of age on the immune response to the two vaccines and on the persistence of these responses.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate lot-to-lot consistency in terms of immunogenicity, and evaluate safety of the Herpes Zoster subunit (HZ/su) vaccine. The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind study with three parallel groups.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HZ/su vaccine administered on a 0- and 1- to 2-months schedule in adults 18 years of age or older who are receiving chronic immunosuppressive therapy.
