Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical sensitivity and specificity of the Liat™ Influenza A/B & RSV Assay and the Liat™ Influenza A/B Assay when used on the Liat Analyzer to detect the presence or absence of Influenza A, Influenza B, and RSV in a nasopharyngeal swab specimen as compared to an FDA approved NAAT and culture.
The primary objective is to determine the dose level of live, wild-type A/California/ H1N1 2009 virus that has an appropriate safety and illness/infectivity profile to be used as an influenza virus, challenge strain in future intervention studies. Illness parameters were collected by subject symptom scores as well as by physical examination. Virus parameters were measured by PCR and cell culture assay (performed by VisMederi srl).
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of FP-01.1 and FP-01.1 reformulated with an adjuvant (FP-01.1-Adjuvant) in relatively healthy subjects 65 to 74 years of age, subjects that are more representative of the target population. Both formulations will be administered alone or concomitantly with the Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Virus (TIV) vaccine.
This study has been designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two different formulations of FP-01.1 as well as build on the data set from the first in human study FP-01.1_CS_01. It is anticipated that the results of this Phase I study will inform the best formulation of the vaccine to evaluate in efficacy studies.
Treatment of severe 2009 H1N1 infection with convalescent plasma will reduce mortality.
The study will be conducted using nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected prospectively from individuals suspected of having the signs and symptoms of an acute respiratory tract infection caused by a respiratory virus. A series of standard viral culture tests validated for routine use in the clinical laboratory, and/or a series of PCR-based Laboratory Developed Tests (PCR-LDT) validated by a central reference laboratory will be used to verify the performance of the investigational artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the QIAGEN ResPlex II Advanced Panel test. From each specimen five (5) aliquots will be prepared: (a) one aliquot will be tested in real-time using the assigned viral culture reference methods; (b) one aliquot will be used to extract nucleic acid in real-time for investigational testing; (c) one aliquot of the specimen will be stored at --70C for subsequent shipment to the reference laboratory for PCR-LDT testing, (d) one aliquot will be archived at -70C for subsequent follow-up by the reference laboratory (e.g., bi-directional sequencing of positive specimens), and (e) any remaining specimen will be stored for the Fresh vs. Frozen Study. The extracted nucleic acid generated from the second aliquot (i.e., "b" above) will be split and subjected to testing by both the artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the ResPlex II Advanced Panel test.
This randomized, open-label, multicenter phase 2 trial will assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of anti-influenza plasma in subjects with influenza A or B. Hospitalized subjects with influenza A or B that have either a low oxygen level or a high respiratory rate will be eligible for study participation. This study will enroll adults, children and pregnant women.
Every year the human population suffers from seasonal outbreaks of influenza resulting in both illness and death. However, the rates of illness and death from seasonal outbreaks are significantly lower than those suffered during times of influenza pandemic, such as those experienced in 1918, 1957, and 1968. The reason for this difference lies in presence of immunity within a population. With seasonal outbreaks of influenza most people have some immunity to the circulating strain and usually only those with weakened immune systems experience serious complications. Influenza pandemics, in contrast, are the result of a completely new viral subtype to which nobody possesses an immunity, leaving everyone vulnerable to the most serious of complications. It has been estimated that the next flu pandemic could cause over 200,000 deaths and over 700,000 hospitalizations in the US alone. The need for an effective viral vaccine is high. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and immunogenicity of a live influenza A strain vaccine, which would be able to combat an influenza pandemic.
