This partially randomized, multi-center parallel-group study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and the effect on viral load and viral shedding of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) in patients with influenza. Adult and adolescent patients will be randomized to receive either 100 mg or 200 mg of study drug intravenously every 12 hours. Investigators and patients are blinded to knowledge of the assigned dose of Tamiflu. There is an option to convert to oral Tamiflu after 6 intravenous infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 5 days, with an optional treatment extension of a further 5 days, if necessary. There will be a non-randomized, open-label treatment group for patients with moderate/severe renal impairment or renal failure. Intravenous dose levels and frequency will be adjusted appropriately to their renal situation.
A single center, observer-masked, randomized clinical trial is to be conducted in 6-35 months infants to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Sinovac's influenza A/H1N1 Vaccine (PANFLU.1).
The demographic characteristics, clinical features, course, and outcomes of severe H1N1 influenza infection requiring intensive care have not been defined rigorously and systematically. While the majority of patients in early reports of critically ill novel influenza A (H1N1) have respiratory involvement, up to 10-20% may present with non-respiratory organ failures, such as shock, seizures, or acute renal failure. The burden of disease and resource utilization of these patients remains largely unknown. The purpose of this surveillance registry is to characterize the demographics, clinical features, outcomes, and resource utilization of patients with H1N1 influenza infection who require intensive care.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the immunogenicity and safety of 3 doses of GSK's avian flu vaccine GSK 1557484A given at different time intervals to adults aged 18 years or greater who are at increased occupational risk of H5N1 exposure.
This will be a randomized, open-label, pilot feasibility study of four 2-dose vaccine regimens in healthy volunteers using two commercially available seasonal influenza vaccines to compare immune responses and in vitro cross-reactivity against H5N1. Vaccine doses will be spaced by approximately 8 weeks to allow for optimal prime boost conditions. Humoral, cellular and secretory immune responses will be measured 2 and 4 weeks after each vaccine dose and compared with baseline values.
The purpose of this study is to generate data on immunogenicity and safety of the monovalent H1N1 vaccine in support of the development and registration.
To estimate the incidence of H1N1v influenza-like illness and to study the risk factors for serious influenza forms during pandemic period in French HIV infected patients. - Definitions: - Influenza like illness is defined as fever> 37°8C and cough or pharyngalgia. (Centers for Disease Control definition). - Serious forms of influenza-like illness is defined by hospitalization within 14 days onset of symptoms or death attributed to influenza like illness. - Design: - Survey sampling for estimating H1N1v influenza-like illness incidence. - Out of approximately 50 000 patients under follow-up in one of the 40 ANRS centres, a sub-group will be selected by random sampling. Sampling will be stratified by centre and sampling fraction per site will vary in order to select 60 to 80 patients for this study per site. A total of 2500 to 3000 patients will be selected to allow for estimating the incidence of H1N1v influenza-like illness with an adequate precision. Selected patients will be asked to contact the clinical staff on site as soon as any influenza like symptoms appear. In the case of influenza like illness patients are requested to attend to the clinic within 24 hours for physical examination and naso-pharyngeal swab for diagnosis of A(H1N1)v infection. Nested case-control study for the determination of risk factors for serious forms: - Cases: Serious forms (see definition above) identified by any clinical site or hospitalisation unit. - Controls: Patients of the randomly selected sample (see survey sampling above), presenting with influenza-like illness without any criterion for severity. Exhaustivity check: The exhaustivity of symptomatic forms will be assessed a posteriori by merging information from all available data sources.
The primary objective of this observational, comparative safety study is to evaluate the safety of the Novartis Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine in pregnant women and their off spring, followed for up to 3 months of age as compared to pregnant women who have not received the Novartis Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine. This study will be conducted at investigative sites within the Netherlands, Italy, and Argentina.
Currently, there is no standard treatment for influenza with related lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in children younger than one year of age, even though influenza related LRTI is a potentially fatal illness in these children. This study will test a medicine for influenza in children younger than one year of age to see if it is safe and effective.
