Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine when co-administered with DTPa-IPV-Hib or DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib in infants as a three-dose primary immunisation course during the first 6 months of life and as a booster dose at 11-12 months of age. The impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae in children in their first two years of life will also be assessed. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
GSK Biologicals is working on the development of a vaccine to protect elderly people from bacterial pneumonia. Diagnostic of bacterial pneumonia is difficult, and for the future studies in that project, it would be useful to have some easy non invasive tests. New clinical read-outs are needed to detect and identify the causative pathogen. These assays will be based on specific antigen detection in the urine or specific pathogen DNA detection in the blood. Technical and clinical validation of these assays will be realised at later stage with samples coming from epidemiological and/or phase III studies. To allow the development of such tests in GSK Biologicals laboratories, urine and blood samples are needed from subjects aged 65 or above who have diagnosed pneumonia. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phase up to 48-50 months post booster vaccination, to assess long-term antibody persistence in children at around 30, 42 and 66 months of age, who received previously 4 doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = 00307554). This Protocol posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA AA (Sep 2007).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a booster dose of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals´ pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a booster dose of DTPa-IPV/Hib (Infanrix-IPV/Hib) in preterm born children at the age of 16-18 months. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number =NCT00390910 ). Subjects participating in this study should have received three doses of pneumococcal vaccine in the primary study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
The purpose of this observer blind study is to assess the safety in terms of fever >39°C (rectal temperature) and the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response following a booster vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK 1024850A at 12 to 18 months of age in children previously primed with the same vaccines including a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, whole cell pertussis (DTPw)-combined vaccine and OPV or IPV vaccines. Subjects participating in this study should have received three doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the primary study. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00344318)
GSK Biologicals is working on the development of a vaccine to protect elderly people from pneumococcal infection. For the future studies in that project, it would be useful to have some easy non invasive tests to detect infection by the bacteria. Some tests on urine are already on the market but need to be improved in the laboratory. For that purpose, some urine samples from healthy subjects aged 65 years or above and who have not suffered from pneumonia nor have been administered pneumococcal vaccination in the past 3 months are needed. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007
This is a booster study in 2 groups of healthy children less than 3 years old to measure the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, when given as a booster or as a two-dose catch-up vaccination. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00338351).
The purpose of this trial is to assess if the rate of febrile reactions following the co-administration of a booster dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines with standard infant vaccines is lowered when paracetamol is given prophylactically and to assess the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on pneumococcal and H. influenzae nasopharyngeal carriage compared to control group receiving meningococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK134612). This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00370318).
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity in terms of antibody response and the safety/reactogenicity in terms of solicited and unsolicited symptoms and serious adverse events following primary vaccination of Mexican infants with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK 1024850A co-administered with a diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTPa)-combined vaccine (Infanrix hexa) and rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix) in children during the first 6 months of age.
This is a study in a large number of healthy children less than 3 years old to measure the efficacy of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate candidate vaccine (Synflorix vaccine, or GSK1024850A) to prevent cases of pneumonia (lung infection) likely caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae) or cases of otitis media (ear infection) in children under 3 years old.
