This study conducted at eight INA-RESPOND hospitals. Potential study patients will be any patients (both children and adults).
This study is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic-Yellow Fever (MVA-BN-YF) in Flavivirus-naive healthy male and non-pregnant female adult subjects. There are six dose groups in this study. Subjects who have never received a licensed or investigational smallpox vaccine will be randomized to Groups 1-5 and vaccine administration and follow-up will be conducted in a double-blinded fashion. Subjects who have previously received two, 1 x 10^8 TCID50 doses of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) between 19 and 45 days apart by s ubcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) routes will be enrolled in Group 6 and will be dosed open-label. Since this is a first in human, phase I study, a sentinel cohort will be utilized. The first two subjects (1st sentinel group) one at each clinical site will be randomized to Group 2 or 3 and vaccinated with MVA-BN-YF with or without Montanide ISA 720 adjuvant (ISA 720). Subjects and study personnel will be blinded as to whether ISA 720 was administered. The primary objectives are the: 1) assessment of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720; 2) comparison of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720 with Yellow Fever Vaccine (YF-VAX) and MVA-BN.
This randomized clinical trial studies prophylactic colony stimulating factor management in patients with breast, colorectal or non-small cell lung cancer receiving chemotherapy and with risk of developing febrile neutropenia. Patients receiving chemotherapy may develop febrile neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia is a condition that involves fever and a low number of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood. Febrile neutropenia increases the risk of infection. Colony stimulating factors are medications sometimes given to patients receiving chemotherapy to prevent febrile neutropenia. Colony stimulating factors are given to patients based on guidelines. Some clinics have an automated system that helps doctors decide when to prescribe them when there is a high risk of developing febrile neutropenia. Gathering information about the use of an automated system to prescribe prophylactic colony stimulating factor may help doctors use colony stimulating factor when it is needed.
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a clinically important adverse effect of myelosuppressive chemotherapy. If patients present with FN, attention is focussed on well-recognized sites of origin of infection: the airways, urinary tracts, and skin. However, infections can be only documented clinically in about two-third of febrile episodes, whereas a causative microbial pathogen cannot be identified in the majority (>70%) of cases. Pre-treatment oral evaluation aimed to identify and eliminate oral/dental foci is only routinely used in patients at high risk for oral complications (i.e. head and neck cancer patients and stem cell transplantation recipients). However, any patient treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy, be it for cure or palliation, is at risk of developing infection in and/or originating from the oral cavity. Nevertheless, in these patients dental screening is somewhat randomly employed at the oncologist's discretion. More insight into the pre-treatment oral condition and its potential role in FN is mandatory, particularly considering the growing numbers of older patients retaining their natural dentition and the increase of dental diseases and cancer incidence with age. In addition, oral diseases may aggravate chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM). OM is associated with an inflammatory response, which together with ulcerations providing a portal of entry for bacteria, can result in FN and systemic inflammatory syndrome (SIRS) and/or sepsis. Evidence suggests that microorganisms are involved in the pathobiology of OM, but no longitudinal studies using open-end sequencing are available. Furthermore, comparing bacteria identified in blood cultures in febrile patients with those of the oral cavity will expand the knowledge on the role of the oral cavity as a potential source of bacteremia. The investigators expect that the results will provide a scientific base for subsequent intervention studies on the efficacy of dental screening and elimination of foci, and other interventions aimed at modifying the oral environment before and during chemotherapy.
The aim of the study was to assess the immune response and the safety of different vaccination schedules of CYD dengue vaccine. The primary objectives of the study were: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 2-dose schedule (Group 2) compared to the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 3-dose schedule (Group 1), in previously dengue exposed participants 28 days after the last injection. - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 2-dose schedule (Group 2) compared to the immune response elicited by CYD vaccine given as a 3-dose schedule (Group 1) in previously dengue exposed participants, 1 year after the last injection. - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype elicited by a booster dose of CYD dengue vaccine one year or two years after the last injection in the primary series in previously dengue exposed participants, compared to the immune response post dose 3 in Group 1. The secondary objectives of the study were: - To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 2-dose schedule (Group 2) compared to the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 3-dose schedule (Group 1), in previously dengue exposed participants, 28 days after the last injection. - To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 2-dose schedule (Group 2) compared to the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 3-dose schedule (Group 1), in previously dengue exposed participants, one year after the last injection. - To describe the neutralizing antibody levels of each dengue serotype at 28 days post-injection 3 to the antibody levels immediately before receiving a booster dose, by baseline dengue serostatus. - To describe the neutralizing antibody levels of each dengue serotype at 28 days post-injection 2 and 28 days post-injection 3 from Group 1 in a primary series schedule by baseline dengue serostatus. - To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype 28 days after administration of a booster dose of CYD dengue vaccine, in previously dengue exposed participants, at one year or two years after last injection in the primary series. - To describe the seroconversion rate 28 days post-booster injection in all 3 groups. - To describe all hospitalized virologically confirmed dengue (VCD) cases during the study. - To evaluate the safety profile of CYD after each and any injection during the trial. Safety assessments include solicited reactions within 7 or 14 days after each injection, unsolicited adverse events within 28 days after each injection, and serious adverse events during the study period.
