Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect information that will help the reasearchers learn more about COVID-19 infections in cancer patients, and to find out about the effects of these infections on cancer treatment and outcomes. The research study involves asking people to complete a series of online questionnaires that include questions about their medical history, lifestyle, and risk factors related to the COVID-19 infection. The study will enroll both MSK patients and their household family members.
This study aims to investigate eradication rate, drug compliance, and adverse events in patients with confirmed Helicobacter pylori infection between tegoprazan, bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline for 14 days (TBMT) and PPI, bismuth, metronidazole, and tetracycline for 14 days (LBMT)
Maternal immunisation is an evolving field that deserves special attention given its potential to have a significant positive impact on the health of women and children globally, and the potential safety and risk considerations associated with research in this population. The goal of maternal immunisation is to boost maternal levels of specific antibodies to provide the newborn and young infant with sufficient immunity at birth, through trans placental transfer in-utero, to protect them through the period of increased vulnerability. Protection should be adequate to last until they are able to respond to their own active immunisations or infectious challenges. The success of the maternal neonatal tetanus immunisation program demonstrates the utility of this approach. Several other vaccines are recommended in pregnancy, including influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. Promising new vaccines for group B streptococcus (GBS) , respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and cytomegalovirus are under development. They are targeted for use in pregnant women in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. However, these vaccines are likely to be of most benefit in LMICs that have high rates of vaccine preventable diseases. The second work-package (WP2) of the PREPARE portfolio will describe the baseline maternal and neonatal outcomes using anonymised data collected using the routine Kawempe electronic medical records (EMR) system. Furthermore, comprehensive data on pregnancy, neonatal and infant outcome will also be collected in a prospective cohort of women enrolled in the first and second trimesters while attending antenatal care at Kawempe Hospital with follow-up of the mother-infant pair(s) up until at least 14 weeks postpartum to establish longer term outcomes. Standardised case definitions will be used to classify the outcomes.
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes most cases of infectious mononucleosis (mono). Up to 1 in 10 people who get mono can have fatigue that lasts more than 6 months. One out of 100 people can have severe complications. EBV is also associated with several types of cancer. Researchers want to test an EBV vaccine. Objective: To test the safety of and immune response to a new vaccine against EBV. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-29 Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample. Screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will get a dose of the study vaccine as an injection in a muscle in the upper arm. They will be observed for 30 to 60 minutes. Blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature will be checked. The injection site will be examined. Participants will get a diary card. They will write down any side effects they have after the vaccine dose, or they may use an electronic diary card. Participants will be asked to write down or enter any important medical events that may occur at any time during the study. Participants will get a vaccine dose at 2 more study visits. They will have 4 follow-up visits at different times after a vaccine dose. Participants will have 6 telephone calls in between the in-person visits. They will also have 1 telephone call 1 year after the third dose of vaccine. If possible, this visit can occur in person. Participation will last about 18 months. There is an optional in-person visit or telephone call 2 years after the third dose of vaccine.
This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of GEO-CM04S1 (previously designated as COH04S1), a synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated the capability to spread rapidly, leading to significant impacts on healthcare systems and causing societal disruption. GEO-CM04S1 was created by placing small pieces of SARS-CoV-2 DNA (the chemical form of genes) into synthetic MVA, which may be able to induce immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of the Phase 1 study is to determine the safety and the optimal dose of the GEO-CM04S1 vaccine. The Phase 2 study is designed as a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel, study to evaluate the safety profile of 2 dose levels of GEO-CM04S1 as a single booster shot to assess the immune response measured by the fold-increase in antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein at day 28 post-injection among healthy adult volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a live, oral, combined Shigella-ETEC vaccine candidate, known as strain CVD 1208S-122, is safe and immunogenic.
A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Finding Study Evaluating Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Different Doses and Regimens of Allocetra-OTS for the Treatment of Organ Failure in Adult Sepsis Patients
The Innovative Support for Patients with SARS COV-2 Infections Registry (INSPIRE) study is a CDC-funded COVID-19 project to understand the long-term health outcomes in recently tested adults, both negative and positive, who have suspected COVID symptoms at the time of their test. Participants will complete short online surveys every 3 months for 18 months, share information about their health using a secure web-based platform, and are compensated for their time.
The study ANRS 174 Doxyvac is a clinical trial that will use Combined Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in Men Who Have Sex with Men and using oral TDF/FTC for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and vaccination with Bexsero.
This study will evaluate the effect of an iodine impregnated barrier dressing on device pocket swab culture positivity. Minimizing contamination during the implant procedure can be one of the potential improvements to prevent CIED infections. Patients requiring a lead change, battery change or device upgrade will be eligible. This is a randomized, blinded study where participants will be randomized to having the barrier dressing applied before any incision is made (experimental group) or applying the dressing just prior to collecting the culture swab (control group). Patients and the staff taking the culture swab at the end of the procedure are blinded as to which group the participant is randomized to.
