Filter by:The present study will evaluate clinical efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of both Novartis Vaccines' cell-derived influenza vaccine and egg-derived influenza vaccine in healthy adults 18 to 49 years of age.
To describe any degree of preference for the route of administration of Fluzone influenza vaccine, ID versus IM, in healthy adult subjects 18-49 years of age. To collect safety data, injection site reactions, and systemic reactions, through Day 7 post-vaccination; SAEs through day 28 post-vaccination
Evaluate the immune response and reactogenicity of H5N1 vaccination in adults aged 18 years and above (as part of a tetravalent vaccine)
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate immunologic equivalence of three consecutive production lots of the subunit influenza vaccine compared to egg-derived inactivated influenza vaccine in healthy subjects 18 to 49 years of ages. In addition, this study is to show how safe and well tolerated a conventional inactivated subunit influenza vaccine, licensed in many countries outside the United States, is compared to an inactivated influenza vaccine, licensed in the United States.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether prior exposure to A/H2N2 viruses is associated with better antibody (part of the immune system that fights infection) responses after vaccination with an A/H9N2 flu vaccine. The study will evaluate how much antibody is made to the influenza virus after H9N2 flu vaccination and how the body reacts to different strengths of the H9N2 flu vaccine. This information may guide vaccine development for this virus as well as other bird flu viruses that have infected humans. Study participants will include 120 healthy subjects, age 18-38 or 44-59 years. Two different dosages of vaccine will be given in the muscle of the upper arm about 1 month apart. The assignment of vaccines to participants is governed by chance. Study procedures may include medical history, physical exam, and blood samples. Study participation duration is about 7 months.
Pomegranate has a long history of use in folk medicine. There is vast data on the health benefits of pomegranate fruit and juice. Multiple studies have established the strong antioxidative effects of pomegranate polyphenols (primarily the ellagitannin punicalagin) and their health effects. A vast number of animal and human clinical studies have provided evidence on effect of pomegranate products on improving blood lipid profile, reducing blood pressure, improving endothelial function, anti-tumor activity, and its anti-atherosclerotic activity. We studied the protective effect of a pomegranate concentrate (POM Flu and Cold Formula®) in decreasing the incidence and duration of influenza-like illnesses and common cold among healthy adults.
The purpose of this Phase 3, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study is to characterize the immunogenicity & safety of the investigation vaccination regimen of GSK 1557484A vaccine given to adults aged ≥18 years.
Collection of nasal secretions from infants and toddlers for viral testing is usually done using the nasal washing technique described by Hall in 1975. This is cumbersome. Previous attempts to use swabs have been unsuccessful because the swabs didn't work well. A newly designed swab may work better and in this study we compare the new swab with the old style nasal washing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectivess of a single intramuscular injection of peramivir for the treatment of subjects with acute, uncomplicated influenza.
Primary Objective: To describe the immunogenicity of an injection of the investigational inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine 21 days after vaccination in 18 to 60 years old renal transplant subjects identified as non-responder to previous vaccination with the IM reference vaccine (Vaxigrip®). Secondary Objective: To describe the safety of an injection of the investigational inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine in 18 to 60 years old renal transplant subjects identified as non-responder to previous vaccination with the IM reference vaccine
