Filter by:The aim of the study was to describe the safety and antibody response to booster administration with Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine in participants who received their first quadrivalent meningococcal Conjugate vaccine dose in the past 4-10 years. Primary Objective: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine seroresponse of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a booster dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine compared to those observed following the administration of a booster dose of Menactra® in participants who were first vaccinated with 1 dose of a quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine 4 to 10 years before the booster dose. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the vaccine seroresponse of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using human serum bactericidal assay (hSBA) in serum specimens collected 6 days after vaccination in a subset of 120 participants. - To evaluate the antibody responses (geometric mean titers) to serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using hSBA on Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 after vaccination. Observational Objectives: - To describe the antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured by hSBA assessed at Day 0, Day 6, and Day 30 days after vaccination. - To describe the antibody responses to the meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before and 30 days after vaccination with MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Menactra® measured by rabbit serum bactericidal assay (rSBA) in a subset of participants. - To describe the safety profile of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine compared to that of a licensed Menactra® after booster vaccination.
At any time, around 10% of people carry meningococcal bacteria in the nose and throat, which can cause meningitis, blood poisoning and other serious illnesses. Most people carry these bacteria and never become ill, yet a very small proportion go on to develop these illnesses which can result in life long disabilities or death. The mechanism by which this happens is poorly understood and has been studied in various ways, usually focussing on the bacteria or on the individual, but none has given a definitive answer. This study will be the first of its kind and will assess the interaction between the host and the bacteria at the genetic level, through genetic mapping, helping us to understand what makes some people susceptible to this infection.
This study evaluates the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis with ciprofloxacin, given to the contacts of meningitis cases, on the overall attack rate of meningitis during an epidemic. One third of enrolled villages will receive standard care; in one-third of villages, household contacts of meningitis cases will be offered a single dose of oral ciprofloxacin; and in one-third of villages, the entire village will be offered a single dose of oral ciprofloxacin after the notification of the first case in the village.
The aim of this study is to generate local data on the safety of Menactra® in individuals 2 to 55 years of age in the Russian Federation. Primary Objective: - To describe the safety profile after 1 dose of Menactra® administered in individuals 2-55 years of age under standard health care practices.
The main purpose of this study is to observe the clinical effect of intrathecal administration of liposomal amphotericin B in Cryptococcal Meningitis without Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
The aim of the study is to assess the safety of Menactra vaccine in infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults Objective: - To describe the safety profile after each and any dose (when applicable) of Menactra vaccine in participants aged 9 months to 55 years for registration.
The aim of this study is to provide information on the persistence of bactericidal antibodies following Menactra booster vaccination in study MTA77 ( NCT01442675). Objective: - To evaluate the persistence of antibody responses (determined by serum bactericidal assay using human complement [SBA-HC]) approximately 4 years after the administration of a booster dose of Menactra vaccine in trial MTA77
The aim of the study is to evaluate systematic pre-antiretroviral cryptococcal antigen screening and pre-emptive fluconazole therapy in antigen positive patients, as a strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality due to AIDS associated cryptococcal meningitis in patients starting antiretroviral therapy at <100 CD4 in Cameroon.
The aim of this study was to collect further information regarding an increase immune response of SP284 after an additional dose in Japanese participants. Primary Objective: - To evaluate and describe the immune responses to meningococcal antigens (serogroups A,C, Y and W-135) at 28 days following each vaccination with SP284 vaccine in participants 20 through 55 years of age. Other Pre-specified objective: - To describe the safety in terms of immediate systemic adverse events (AEs), solicited reactions, unsolicited non-serious adverse events, and serious adverse events (SAEs) following receipt of each dose of SP284 vaccine in persons 20 through 55 years of age.
The study aimed to evaluate the relationships between the gene polymorphisms of leukotriene A4 hydrolase(LTA4H) and Dexamethasone treatment for tuberculous meningitis in Chinese patients.
