Filter by:The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and immunogenicity data for the refrigerator-stable formulation of ZOSTAVAX(R) in taiwanese adults.
Based on the results of a previous clinical PhaseI/II study, GSK1437173A is the lead GSK candidate Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine to prevent episodes of HZ (shingles). This phase II study will be subdivided into a primary study (108494) and three extension studies (108516, 108518 & 108520), consisting of one additional visit each at months 12, 24 and 36, respectively, from the first visit of the Zoster-003 primary study onwards. The aim of the primary 108494 study is to evaluate the immunogenicity & safety of different dosages of the GSK1437173A vaccine in healthy elderly population. The study population will be stratified by age. The primary objective of this trial is to select the best dosage of GSK1437173A. The aim of the extension studies is to evaluate the persistence of the immune response induced by the candidate HZ vaccine during a long term period. No new subjects will be enrolled during the extension phases of the study.
Primary objective: To describe the safety profile of a refrigerator-stable formulation of VARIVAX® as a first single dose injection in 12 to 15 month-old infants in the 42-day follow-up period post-vaccination. Secondary objectives: NA
Primary objective: To compare if, when given concomitantly with VARIVAX® by the same route at 12-18 months of age using separate injection sites, a single dose of M-M-RTMII administered by IM route is as immunogenic as a single dose of M-M-RTMII administered by SC route in terms of response rates to measles, mumps and rubella at 42 days following the vaccination. AND/OR To compare if, when given concomitantly with M-M-RTMII by the same route at 12-18 months of age using separate injection sites, a single dose of VARIVAX® administered by IM route is as immunogenic as a single dose of VARIVAX® administered by SC route in terms of response rate to varicella at 42 days following the vaccination Secondary objectives: - To summarise the antibody titres to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at 42 days following the vaccination in children immunised with M-M-R™II and VARIVAX® administered concomitantly at two separate injection sites by the same route IM or SC, - To evaluate the safety profiles of M-M-R™II and VARIVAX® administered concomitantly at two separate injection sites by the same route IM or SC.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that ProQuad® can be administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa to healthy children 12 to 23 months of age without impairing either the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b; or to the 3 pertussis antibody titres measured at 42 days following vaccination. Secondary Objectives: - To describe the antibody titres and the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b as measured at 42 days following vaccination by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled. - To evaluate the safety profile of ProQuad® when administered concomitantly with a booster dose of Infanrix® hexa by an Infanrix® hexa primary series schedule and all data are pooled.
This study aims to determine the efficacy of 70% trichloroacetic acid on atrophic scars of varicella
Follow-up to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of three production lots of GSK Biologicals' MMRV vaccine given as a two-dose schedule to healthy children in their second year of life, as compared to separate administration of GSK Biologicals' measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine (Priorix®) and varicella vaccine (Varilrix®) in Germany & Austria. Blood samples were collected at three time points during the follow-up period (Year 1, 2 & 3). No new subjects will be enrolled in these follow-up phases of the study.
As measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination is established as routine childhood practice in most industrialised countries and varicella vaccination is now being introduced in many countries during the second year of life, a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine was developed for administration convenience and improved compliance to vaccination. To account for situations where children have received a first dose of MMR vaccine without varicella, this study will evaluate the effect of the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine given in place of the second dose of MMR vaccine. A second dose of the monovalent varicella vaccine will be given to all children participating to this trial since there is a current debate on the need of a second dose to induce a full protection against varicella.
Since measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccinations are established as routine childhood practice and often co-administered during the second year of life, a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MeMuRu-OKA) vaccine is fully justified. Such a combined vaccine was developed and extensively studied in susceptible children. In countries where varicella mass-vaccination is already implemented, a transition period is necessary as children who started with separate first-dose vaccinations of MMR and varicella will receive a single shot of the combined vaccine as the second dose. To account for those situations, this study will evaluate the effect of the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine given in place of separate MMR and varicella vaccines as a second dose.
The purpose of this study is to see if therapy with the drug pregabalin relieves pain during shingles compared with placebo. A placebo is an inactive substance. Pregabalin is a drug marketed as Lyrica™ in the United States for the treatment of seizures, diabetic neuropathy, and post-herpetic neuralgia. The use of pregabalin and drugs like it for the treatment of pain during the acute phase of shingles is experimental. Thirty four subjects will complete the study at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Pain Clinical Research Center. This study is funded by Pfizer Global Research.
