Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals' vaccine GSK1437173A in the prevention of Herpes zoster (HZ) in autologous haematopoietic cell transplant recipients 18 years of age and older. To this end, the study will evaluate vaccine efficacy (VE) of the GSK1437173A vaccine, administered on a 2-dose schedule, compared to placebo in reducing the risk of developing HZ in this population.
Stellate ganglion block targets are C6 transverse process or C7 transverse process in anterior paratracheal approach which is most popular method. Cricoid cartilage is known that it is located at C6 level in supine neutral position of the neck. But stellate ganglion block is performed in supine extended position of the neck. So cricoid cartilage will move up to cephalad direction and pain doctors should find C6 or C7 transverse process at lower neck area than cricoid cartilage.
This study will describe the impact of vaccination with ZOSTAVAX™ on the epidemiology of herpes zoster (HZ) in a cohort of vaccinated participants 50 years or age or older, compared to a cohort of unvaccinated participants.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vaccination of stem cell donors with Zostavax can reduce the rate of Herpes Zoster reactivations in transplant recipients. The clinical hypotheses is: 1) that Zostavax given to stem cell donors will induce protective VZV specific T cell proliferation in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients that can be transferred to recipients; 2) and that donor vaccination with Zostavax is safe for transplant recipients as measured by viral load measurement by polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) at the time of stem cell donation.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX™ in Korean adults. Approximately 180 herpes zoster history negative subjects ≥ 50 years of age will be enrolled in the study. Each subject will receive a single dose of ZOSTAVAX™. No statistical hypothesis testing will be conducted in the study.
This study will compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine made with an alternative manufacturing process with those of the 2006 process
This is a study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of V212 vaccine in adults with autoimmune disease, including participants with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and other similar diseases. The primary hypothesis is that vaccination with V212 vaccine will elicit significant VZV-specific immune responses at approximately 28 days after vaccination 4. The statistical criterion for significance requires that the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval of the geometric mean fold rise in vaccine recipients is >1.0.
This study will determine if ZOSTAVAX™ is safe, tolerable, and immunogenic in healthy adults in India.
The purpose of this study is to collect data on the incidence, complications and impact on quality of life of herpes zoster (HZ) disease in adults >=50 years of age in Spain. This study will also collect data on costs related to the HZ disease, especially postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)
Despite the significant benefits of herpes zoster vaccine (HZV), vaccination rates remain low. Electronic medical records (EMR) can serve as a practical strategy to better facilitate the application of preventative health care, such as increasing immunization rates. A new care model that can increase the herpes zoster vaccination rate, as well as other preventative health services, is warranted. The objective of this study is to investigate if the functions of an EMR, in combination with a pharmacist as part of the care team, can improve the herpes zoster vaccination rate.
