Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 2 formulations of GSK Biologicals' varicella vaccines given as a 2-dose course in the second year of life.
This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of live attenuated vaccine in adults aged 50 years and older. Half of participants will receive high doses of the vaccine,while the other half will receive low doses of the vaccine in phase I clinical trial. At the phase II clinical trial, participants will be distributed equally to four groups(low、middle, high doses of the vaccine and placebo).
The study evaluated immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of ZOSTAVAX™ Vaccine (V211) administered concomitantly versus nonconcomitantly with Quadrivalent Influenza Virus vaccine (inactivated) in participants ≥50 years of age. The primary hypotheses tested 1) the noninferiority of concomitant versus nonconcomitant vaccination with regard to Varicella zoster virus (VZV) Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) antibody responses, 2) the acceptability of geometric mean fold rise in VZV antibody response after concomitant vaccination, and 3) the noninferiority of concomitant versus nonconcomitant vaccination with regard to influenza virus strain-specific GMT antibody responses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the burden of Herpes zoster (HZ) and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) among people ≥ 50 years old in France, in terms of healthcare resources used, medical direct and indirect costs, as well as pain severity and impact on quality of life.
Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus and varicella zoster virus infection are purported to play a pivotal role in morbidity and mortality in burns. Thus far, there is no existing systematic review (Level of Evidence III or higher) describing the unique role as well as concurrent infections of these viruses in burns. The aim of this review is to point out the clinical differences between these human herpes virus subtypes, to outline established therapy approaches, and to provide evidence for virus related morbidity and mortality in burns.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of 5% lidocaine patch, following placebo or active patch applications in placebo insensitive subjects.
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 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.
