Enteric fever, an infection characterised by diarrhoea and rash, is most often caused by a bacteria called Salmonella enterica. After ingesting contaminated food or drink, the Salmonellae travel first to the gut, then the bloodstream, from where they can infect other parts of the body. Antibiotics are used to kill the bacteria, but with increasing rates of antibiotic resistance, this treatment is becoming less effective. Two Salmonella variants, Typhi and Paratyphi, cause over 30 million cases of enteric fever and more than 200,000 deaths per year, mostly in developing countries. While improved hygiene and sanitation should eventually eliminate enteric fever, reduction of the disease burden in the medium term is achievable through effective vaccination. Vaccines likely to be available for mass vaccination are effective only against those Salmonella strains that bear the Vi polysaccharide capsule protein. Strains that do not have these capsule proteins, or have no capsule, will not be affected by vaccination and could 'fill' the space vacated by the capsulated strains. Indeed, enteric fever caused by S. Paratyphi A which does not carry the Vi protein, has risen during the past decade and accounts for more than half of all cases in some areas. Thus it is important that effective vaccines are available to protect against infection by both capsulated and noncapsulated Salmonella enterica. To develop such vaccines, we need a complete understanding of the human immune response to both types, including the contribution of immunity in the gut and the bloodstream, immune response to bacterial surface proteins, and the role of antibodies. How much cross-protection there is between the types of typhoidal Salmonellae after natural infection or vaccination is not known, but this is critical to vaccine development. This project aims to fill in the knowledge gaps highlighted, by fully characterising the infection process and immune response in enteric fever.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of heated cisplatin that can be given to patients with lung tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
The purpose of this study was to conduct a passive surveillance of hospitalized dengue cases in participants who participated in study CYD23 (NCT00842530). The Objectives: - To describe the incidence of virologically-confirmed hospitalized dengue cases. - To characterize hospitalized dengue cases. - To evaluate the occurrence of related and fatal serious adverse events (SAEs).
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of the approach, conduct a dose-finding investigation, and obtain pilot data on hyperthermia via sauna to apply in follow-up trials in the assessment of human chemical body burden reduction, for general wellness, detoxification, and pain reduction. The investigators wish to determine if a hyperthermia-based detoxification protocol is feasible to conduct: including assessment of recruitment, enrollment, retention, protocol adherence, adverse events, and changes in serum polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the CYD dengue vaccine in India adult subjects. Primary Objectives: - To describe the neutralizing antibody response to each dengue virus serotype before the first vaccination and after each vaccination with CYD dengue vaccine in all subjects. - To describe the safety of the CYD dengue vaccine after each dose in all subjects. Secondary Objective: - To detect symptomatic dengue cases occurring at any time in the trial.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the administration of CYD dengue vaccine serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) following a compressed schedule in 3 different populations. Primary Objectives: - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (Month [M] 13) and Group 2 (M07), irrespective of whether or not Yellow Fever (YF) vaccine has been previously administered. - To describe the persistence of the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes 6 months after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (M18) and Group 2 (M12), irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. Secondary Objective: - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 in Groups 1 and 2, irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. - To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue Dose 1 in the combined YF-participants in Group 1 (N=60) and Group 2 (N=60), and in Group 3 (N=120). - To describe by FV status at baseline the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in Groups 1, 2, and 3. - To describe the safety profile after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine and/or YF vaccine.
The study was designed to evaluate whether the first CYD dengue vaccination can be administered concomitantly with Stamaril® yellow fever vaccine during the same day and visit, but at 2 different sites of administration. Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response against Yellow Fever (YF) in flavivirus (FV) non-immune subjects at baseline receiving one dose of Stamaril vaccine administered concomitantly with the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine compared to participants receiving one dose of Stamaril vaccine concomitantly with placebo. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the non-inferiority of YF immune response 28 days post-Stamaril vaccination based on seroconversion rates regardless of the FV status of participants at baseline. - To describe the YF immune response 28 days post-Stamaril vaccination in both groups. - To describe the antibody (Ab) response to each dengue virus serotype 28 days post CYD dengue vaccine (Visit [V] 05 and V07), following CYD dengue vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 from Group 2 versus following CYD dengue vaccine Dose 2 and Dose 3 for Group 1 (effect of YF vaccination). - To describe the safety of Stamaril vaccine administered concomitantly with the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine, or Stamaril administered concomitantly with placebo. - To describe the safety of CYD dengue vaccine after the first dose of CYD dengue vaccine administered concomitantly with Stamaril vaccine or CYD vaccine administered alone. - To describe the safety of the CYD dengue vaccine in all participants after each dose.
