Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Meningococcal ACYW135 Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine in healthy volunteers aged from 3 months to 35 years.
The purpose of this study is to assess immunogenicity and safety of MenABCWY vaccine in healthy adolescents and adults aged 15 to 25 years previously vaccinated with MenACWY vaccine
This is a phase IV, single-center, observer-blind, randomized, controlled vaccine trial in 2 to 10 years old healthy subjects. Each participant will receive a single intramuscular injection of one of the two vaccines either MPV ACYW® vaccine or Menactra ® vaccine according to the vaccine group assignment and will be followed up for one month for immunogenicity evaluation and for 6 months for safety evaluation. Statistical Hypothesis: H0: Seroconversion rate of test group is inferior to that of control group HA: Seroconversion rate of test group is non-inferior to that of control group Sample size calculation: the sample size was calculated based on non-inferiority test with alpha level of 0.025 and 80% power, assuming seroconversion rate in control group was 95% with non-inferiority margin at 10%. The sample size required for the study is 124 per arm. After adjusting for 5% drop-out, the final sample size required is 130 per arm.
This observer-blind, randomized, active controlled trial will be conducted among 2-29 year olds in two sites (Mali and The Gambia). The objectives of the study are to assess and compare the immunogenicity and safety of NmCV-5 with that of Menactra. A total of 1800 eligible participants (who or their parents/guardians have given written informed consent) will be randomised 2:1 (NmCV-5: Menactra) in each of the three age strata 18-29 years, 11-17 years & 2-10 years (400 NmCV-5 recipients & 200 Menactra recipients in each age strata). Each subject will receive a single dose of study vaccine and will be followed up for 6 months post vaccination during which solicited reactions (for seven days), unsolicited AEs (28 days) and SAEs (until the end of study i.e. 168 days after vaccination) will be collected. A blood sample will be collected at baseline (pre-vaccination) and at day 28 post-vaccination for immunogenicity assessment by a Serum Bactericidal Activity assay using rabbit complement (rSBA).
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant public health issue affecting nearly 14 million people in the United States. HPV can lead to cervical, oropharyngeal, anal, and penile cancers as well as genital warts.The purpose of this study is to test the comparative effectiveness of two interventions, AFIX only vs. AFIX + communication training, to increase Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescent patients in outpatient clinic settings. Providers and staff at four pediatric practices will be randomized to receive an in-person AFIX consultation or an AFIX consultation combined with communication training and commitment poster displays. Provider and parent data will be collected via a tablet computer RedCap survey. Additional practice and provider level HPV vaccination rates will be collected via patient de-identified claims data. The results of this study could contribute to the existing body of literature that suggests provider recommendations and routine vaccination assessments are key to increasing HPV vaccination uptake. This project has the potential to lead to the implementation and dissemination of low resource interventions to increase HPV vaccination rates among children and adolescents.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate whether there is immune interference when MenABCWY [consisting of MenACWY lyophilized component and rMenB+OMV NZ (Bexsero) liquid component] is administered to healthy adolescents and adults following a 2-dose vaccination schedule with MenABCWY administered 2 months apart.
The purpose of this study was to collect large volumes of matched pairs of pre- and post-vaccination sera from healthy subjects who administered GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' vaccine against meningitis- MenACWY vaccine (Menveo) or rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine (Bexsero), which serves for the development, qualification, validation, and maintenance of immunological assays which supports the preclinical research activities and clinical development of GSK Biologicals' vaccines. The safety of the subjects given one of the two vaccines (Bexsero or Menveo), as per the recommended dosage and schedule were assessed during their participation in the study.
MenACWY (Menveo) is a GSK vaccine intended for protection against disease caused by meningococcal bacteria groups A, C, W and Y in infants, children and adults, licensed in more than 60 countries. The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity of the currently licensed MenACWY vaccine with the investigational MenACWY liquid vaccine aged for different lengths of time by storage at 2-8ºC.
A fever and a non-blanching rash is a relatively common reason for a child to attend an emergency department. A fever and a non-blanching rash can be an early sign of a life-threatening infection known as meningococcal disease. The aim of the PIC study is to determine how best to diagnose early meningococcal disease in children. In particular the investigators are interested in researching how quick bedside tests can be used to do this.
Out of the 13 identified serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) the six serogroups (A, B, C, W, Y and X) are responsible for majority of infections. Presently available vaccines effectively protect against A, B, C, W and Y serogroups; but no vaccine that is protective against serogroup X is available yet. Serum Institute of India Private Limited (SIIPL) has developed a conjugate vaccine against serogroups A, C, Y, W and X (NmCV-5). The first-in-human Phase 1 study was among 60 healthy adults in USA did not show no any safety issues. This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of the non-adjuvanted and adjuvanted formulations of NmCV-5 in healthy children 12-16 months of age, in comparison with the licensed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Menactra®). Both vaccines will be administered in two dose schedule 3 months apart. among vaccine-naïve healthy subjects in Mali. Safety will be assessed by collecting solicited reactions till day 7 post each dose whereas adverse events will be collected throughout the study. Each subject will be followed up for 84 days post each vaccine dose. The vaccine immunogenicity will measured using a rabbit complement serum bactericidal activity assay (rSBA).
