Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate FluMist with and without Ampligen in healthy volunteers.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of intravenous peramivir versus placebo in adolescents and adults with acute uncomplicated influenza.
Study Design: This is a randomized, single center study to evaluate immune responses to the seasonal influenza vaccine in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients who receive one vaccine or two vaccine doses one month apart. In addition, a cohort of healthy adult volunteers will be recruited as controls to confirm immune response to a single influenza vaccine.
The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' influenza vaccine GSK2584786A in healthy children 6 to 35 months of age.
Severe influenza respiratory disease is increasingly recognized in children. Influenza hospitalization rates in high-risk infants, such as premature infants, are increased some five-fold over rates in other children. The recently-licensed live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) promotes better immune responses than the trivalent inactivated vaccine, but can cause wheezing. The balance of risks and benefits for LAIV in extremely premature infants, who may be at increased risk for both influenza disease and vaccine side effects, is unknown. The specific aim of this project is to compare the immune response and reactions of trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and live, attenuated, intranasal influenza vaccine (LAIV) in groups of former premature (PT), very (V) LBW and former full-term (FT) infants aged 24-35 months. The investigators hypothesize that the immune response in FT infants will be greater with LAIV than TIV, and that wheezing episodes will be no more than twice as frequent in LAIV as in TIV recipients. The study will enroll 14 former premature, VLBW infants and 14 former full-term infants. Children will be randomized to receive one dose either TIV or LAIV. Vaccine reactions will be measured. One to two teaspoons mL of blood will be drawn at 0 and 7-14 days from immunization, and less than one teaspoon of blood will be drawn at 28-42 days.
The purpose of this research study is to estimate how many elderly people who have symptoms that look like influenza (i.e. an influenza-like illness) actually have the disease and how effective influenza vaccines are in preventing influenza in elderly people. The study will also examine the severity of the disease (e.g. how long are people ill, were there any complications) and how it affects everyday life (e.g. cost, medications, care by family members).
This is a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate oral nitazoxanide compared to a placebo in the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in adults. We hypothesize that treatment with nitazoxanide will reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with confirmed influenza infection. Secondarily, we hypothesize that treatment with nitazoxanide will reduce the complications of influenza, severity of symptoms, time lost from work, time to return to normal daily activities, and viral shedding.
This randomized, double-blind, multi-center study of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) will evaluate the efficacy against viral activity, the effectiveness in resolving the disease symptoms, and the safety and tolerability in patients with influenza. Patients with (H1N1) 2009 influenza strain or influenza A are eligible for this study. Patients will be randomized to one of four treatment regimens. Patients will receive oral doses of either 75 mg (adults) or 150 mg (adults) of study drug twice daily for 5 or 10 consecutive days. The dose will be body weight-adjusted for pediatric patients.
The H1N1 flu pandemic is one of the major infectious threat of the past half century. it is rapidly progressing worldwide and a substantial number of patients get severe H1N1 related pneumonia that requires mechanical ventilation and admission to the intensive care unit. The acute respiratory distress syndrome is associated with a substantial mortality and morbidity partly as a consequence of uncontrolled lung and systemic inflammation. many physicians are trying to counteract this pro-inflammatory storm by the use of corticosteroids albeit these drugs may cause super infection or metabolic disorders. Thus, there is a need for a randomized double blind, placebo controlled trial to define the benefit to risk ratio of corticosteroids in this patient.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity study of GSK Biologicals' pandemic influenza candidate vaccine (GSK2340272A) in children aged 3 to 9 years.
