Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a self-replicating (sr) RNA-based vaccine, JCXH-105, in the prevention of Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Participant will be randomized to receive either JCXH-105 or Shingrix.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of 101-PGC-005 in healthy, adult, human subjects. The main question it aims to answer is what are the single and multi-dose PK properties of 101-PGC-005 in the systemic circulation Participants will receive a bolus injection of 101-PGC-005 administered intravenously once daily for 3 consecutive days. Blood and urine samples will be collected at predetermined timepoints for analysis.
The overall purpose of this study is to demonstrate the usability of a clinical-grade device in the form of a finger clasp similar to a pulse oximeter for monitoring lactate values, by comparing its performance in reading interstitial fluid lactate values against a known clinical standard in the form of venous lactate levels. Serum lactate measurements are used clinically as a measure of end-organ dysfunction and physiologic stress. Changes in lactate may indicate worsening infection in the setting of sepsis, drug toxicity for certain xenobiotics, or exercise tolerance in exercise physiology. Serum lactate cutoffs have been developed for various disease states and trigger a variety of medical decisions directed at managing the course of the disease. A common theme in the application of lactate measurements to understanding changes in physiology is the need to obtain venous blood to determine lactate. While point-of-care assays have been developed that improve the processing speed, there continues to be a need to obtain fingerstick blood or in most cases, venous blood. Obtaining venous blood for serum lactate requires an individual with phlebotomy skills, the processing capabilities of a laboratory to determine lactate concentrations, or the availability of point of care technology. An alternative method to measure lactate is to sample interstitial fluid which surrounds cells and tissues in the body. Obtaining interstitial fluid is potentially less invasive without the need for repeat phlebotomy or the presence of an indwelling intravenous catheter which can become complicated by infection. The analysis of interstitial fluid for glucose has been validated and is clinically utilized in continuous glucose monitors in individuals with diabetes. In this investigation, the investigators will utilize a novel device, the Lab Clasp to obtain interstitial fluid in a noninvasive method. The Lab Clasp is manufactured to resemble a finger pulse oximeter with additional onboard microfluidics channels that obtain a lactate concentration from interstitial fluid. This streamlined process of obtaining the point of care lactate measurements on demand allows for tasks like serial lactate measurements to be accomplished on a reliable schedule with less workload for nursing staff typically required to draw venous blood. Additionally, the portable and noninvasive nature of the Lab Clasp system may render it usable in facilities that lack skilled staff necessary to perform phlebotomy.
The aim of this cohort is to identify environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that modify the human intestinal microbiota development during the first years of life, and to identify early microbiota features that associate to child health and well-being with focus on the development of allergic diseases and overweight.
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single booster dose of NU300, co-administered with Prevnar 13® over a 28 day period following the injection compared to a single booster of ACTHIB co-administered with Prevnar 13® over a 28 day period following the injection. Evaluate the immunogenicity, as determined by anti-PRP polysaccharide response, of a single booster dose of NU300 co-administered with Prevnar 13® compared to a single booster dose of ActHIB® co-administered with Prevnar 13®. Evaluate the individual IgG antibody quantitative response to the 13 antigens in Prevnar 13® following NU300 co-administration with Prevnar 13® compared to the IgG antibody response to the pneumococcal polysaccharides following ActHIB® co-administration with Prevnar 13® 28 days following injection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of disseminating information on comparative performance, along with actionable messages on how to improve health outcomes, to district-level decision-makers in India using a randomized, controlled design. This information should improve prioritization of health services by district health officers, budget allocation for health, and implementation of priority health services at the district level.
