Filter by:This is a randomized cross-sectional study of the Swedish population. Blood samples will be collected from a subpopulation in order to estimate the age specific sero-prevalence of the Swedish population for diseases included in the National Immunization Program (NIP), and to affirm the population's protection against polio. To be able to recommend complementary immunizations to immigrated children, a sub study focusing on foreign born teenagers will also be done and compared to children of the same age born in Sweden.
This study is undertaken to generate clinical data on GSK Biologicals' combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with measles and rubella obtained from newly established working seed viruses which are one passage further than the current working seed viruses. The measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with the current working seed viruses will serve as comparator. A seed lot system is a system according to which successive batches of a vaccine are derived from the same master seed virus. For routine production, a working seed lot is prepared from the master seed virus.
Partially randomized, controlled Phase II study to evaluate safety, immunogenicity and dose response of the measles vaccine MVA mBN85B in healthy children aged 6 months to 6 years.
The purpose of this study is to compare two measles, mumps and rubella conjugate vaccines (manufactured by GSK and Merck and Company ) in terms of the immune response elicited and safety with a six month follow-up after first vaccination. Additionally, antibody persistence will be assessed one and two years after administration of MMR vaccine. The Protocol Posting has been updated following Protocol amendment 1 and 2, Oct 2009.
This study will compare ProQuad™ and concomitant administration of M-M-R™ II and Varivax™ with respect to immunogenicity, safety and tolerability. The primary hypothesis to be tested is that the antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella 6 weeks after vaccination with ProQuad™ will be non-inferior to the antibody response rates after vaccination with concomitant M-M-R™ II and Varivax™.
The objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy and safety of live, attenuated measles vaccine as consolidation therapy in patients with measles-positive, non-small cell lung cancer with locally-advanced (stage 3B with pleural effusion) or metastatic (stage 4) tumors in remission.
This Phase 3b study is being conducted for the purpose of registration of the GSK208136 vaccine in Korea.
Background: It is well established that the presence of bacteria in the intestine has a profound influence on health. Probiotics, ("beneficial bacteria") have shown ameliorating effects on various infectious diseases. The influence of probiotics on several immune-mediated conditions has also been investigated, among them, atopic dermatitis ("Asthma of the skin"), and milk allergy. The precise mechanism of action of probiotics is not fully understood. Several animal and human studies have shown the probiotic bacteria to influence the immune system. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether supplementing the diet with oral probiotics affects the immune response of children following routine vaccination against 4 common childhood viral diseases: Mumps, Measles, Rubella and Varicella. Objective(s) and Hypothesis(es): Hypothesis: Administration of probiotics will increase the amount of antibodies produced following vaccination for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella, by over 15%. Objectives: - To determine whether administration of probiotics during infancy influences antibody levels following the routine childhood vaccinations. - To determine whether administration of probiotics during infancy influences the rate of adverse effects following the routine childhood vaccinations. Potential Impact: Vaccines, alongside with the discovery of Penicillin, have been cited as the great public health successes of the 20th century. However, even in countries with maximal childhood immunization coverage, the protective effect is not optimal. For example, only 70% to 90% of children immunized against chickenpox are actually protected against the disease. If we succeed in raising these numbers, even by a single percent, it will have a huge impact on society.
The purpose of this observer blinded study is to provide information on vaccine immunogenicity and reactogenicity in comparison with the US standard of care (ProQuad®) when administered with Hepatitis A vaccine and Pneumococcal vaccine.
The primary study objectives are: - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® manufactured with recombinant Human Albumin (rHA) administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 11 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is as immunogenic as in healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 9 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is as immunogenic as in healthy children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. - To demonstrate that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA administered at a 3-month interval to healthy children of 11 months of age and 9 months of age at the time of Dose 1 is well-tolerated compared to children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. The first primary hypothesis was that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA, administered at a 3-month interval to children of 11 months of age, would be non-inferior in terms of antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 2, to the same regimen in children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. If the first primary hypothesis was demonstrated, the second primary hypothesis was that a 2-dose regimen of ProQuad® rHA, administered at a 3-month interval to children of 9 months of age, would be non-inferior in terms of antibody response rates to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 2, to the same regimen in children of 12 months of age at the time of Dose 1. The secondary study objectives are: - To describe the antibody titres to measles, mumps, rubella and varicella at Day 42 following Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age. - To evaluate the safety profile of Dose 1 and Dose 2 of ProQuad® rHA administered to healthy children from 9 months of age.
