Filter by:This trial by its design was a prospective, multicenter, double blind, randomized comparative clinical trial of the IIIb-IV phase which was carried out in parallel groups of volunteers over the age of 60
The overall project aim is to study outcomes after COVID-19 and influenza hospitalisation from 2016 - 2021 by retrieving data from the main social security carriers in Austria for the years 2010-2018
Vaccines are used to prevent infectious diseases worldwide. Unfortunately, many vaccines, like the flu vaccine, are less effective in older adults. This single-centre open label partially randomised, partially placebo-controlled trial evaluates the differences in immune response between young and older adults after vaccination with a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine and an adjuvanted herpes zoster vaccination. Exploring the underlying mechanisms between the differences in immunogenicity can provide important information for future vaccine development.
This is a multi-center, randomized, single-blinded, prospective, parallel group intervention study to investigate whether methotrexate (MTX) discontinuation for 1 week is non-inferior to MTX discontinuation for 2 weeks in regard to satisfactory vaccination response to a seasonal influenza.
This Phase 2a clinical trial is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and the safety of one administration of OVX836 influenza vaccine at different dose levels (180µg, 300μg and 480μg) in order to assess the dose response of the OVX836 influenza vaccine.
This trial is taking place in Los Angeles, CA at clinics within the UCLA Health System. The study design is a 2x2 nested factorial design. Patients will be randomized into 1) receiving text based reminder messages, 2) portal-based reminder messages or 3) the control group. Patients randomized to the intervention arms will receive reminders if they are due for influenza vaccine. Nested within the reminder arms (text or portal), we will have 2 additional components for which patients will be randomized separately: - A direct scheduling link within the reminder letter enabling the patient to schedule an influenza vaccine only visit (direct scheduling link vs. no direct scheduling link). - A pre-appointment reminder, encouraging patients to ask for their influenza vaccine at their upcoming appointment (pre-appointment reminder encouraging influenza vaccination vs. standard pre-appointment reminder not mentioning influenza vaccination) Despite the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation in 2010 that all people above 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine, vaccination rates remain low: at 6m-4.9 yrs. (70%), 5-17.9 yrs. (56%), 18-64.9 yrs. (38%), and >65 yrs. (63%). The investigators will assess the effectiveness of MyChart R/R messages and text R/R messages as compared to the standard of care control (no messages).
The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility of identifying, recruiting and randomizing a large sample of Danish citizens aged 65-79 years to high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine or standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in the 2021/2022 influenza season in a registry-based setting using Danish nationwide registries for all data collection including baseline information and outcome assessment.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled comparative study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of XC221 used at 100 mg daily and at 200 mg daily in patients with uncomplicated influenza or other acute viral upper respiratory infections (URIs) for 5 days of treatment. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of ХС221 at 100 mg and at 200 mg in comparison with placebo regarding its effect on the severity and duration of influenza symptoms and symptoms of other viral URIs (fever and other major signs and symptoms). The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of ХС221 at 100 mg and at 200 mg in comparison with placebo in the treatment of influenza ad other viral URIs.
Background: Influenza (flu) is a virus that infects people of all ages. Some people may have mild flu symptoms. Others may get very sick and even die from the flu. Flu vaccines help protect people against the flu, but if the flu strains in the vaccine are not a good match with the strains circulating in the community, the vaccine is not as effective. Researchers want to make flu vaccines that protect against changing flu strains. Objective: To test if a new flu vaccine is safe and if it creates an immune response. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-55 who do not smoke and have not received a flu vaccine in the 8 weeks prior or a COVID-19 vaccine in the 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. Participants will have 9 visits over 7 months. They will get a combination of study vaccine and/or placebo, both as a shot in the arm and as a spray into the nose, at 2 visits. For 7 days after getting the vaccines, they will take their temperature and complete online surveys at home to record any symptoms. At each visit, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have nasal testing. For this, a thin absorptive strip will be inserted into their nostril for 1 minute to collect mucus. At some visits, the inside of their nose will be wiped with a small brush to collect cells. For this, their nostril will be numbed to make it more comfortable. Some blood and nasal samples will be used for genetic testing. Participants who get flu-like symptoms during the study will be asked to collect nasal samples at home and send these samples back to NIH to test if they actually have the flu.
In the current study, the study team will explore whether small incentives are effective at promoting flu vaccine uptake. The study is designed to compare the relative efficacy of incentives of equal perceived expected value (EV) or equal implementation costs, to assess whether people are more likely to get vaccinated in response to lotteries with very high payoffs than to small certain cash payout or slightly higher-probability, more moderate payoffs. In particular, given the potential appeal of official state lottery tickets, one study arm will receive a Pennsylvania scratch-off lottery ticket for getting a flu vaccine. A primary hypothesis is that lotteries will outperform simple reminders (encouraging respondents to get the flu shot at their upcoming appointment) and the standard of care, representing the ambient healthcare system and public health campaigns to increase vaccination.
