Filter by:Validation of Vital Signs and Symptoms for the Diagnosis of Serious Infections in Acutely Ill Children in a High Prevalent Setting: The Paediatric Accidents & Emergencies through prospective observational data collection concerning specific items from the clinical and technical examination in diagnosing serious infections, such as meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, bronchiolitis with hypoxia. Eventually we will attempt to validate a vital signs and symptoms rule derived from multiple low to high prevalent settings of acutely ill children.
The purpose of this study is: Phase I: To determine the Trastuzumab maximum tolerated dose (MTD) when weekly administrated by intrathecal or intraventricular route to reach a intra CSF target concentration (30 µg/mL) near the conventional therapeutic concentration and depending on the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) Phase II: Determination of antitumor activity trastuzumab when administrated by IT or intra-ventricular in terms of neurological progression-free survival at 2 months
Early and reliable diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) still poses a great challenge. One of the underlying difficulties is due to the fact that tubercle bacilli are mainly not present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) but in the phagocytotic macrophages. The present study was designed to demonstrate early secretory antigenic target 6 (ESAT-6), a mycobacterium-specific antigens, in the macrophages in infected CSF samples and compare the efficiency of this antigen in the laboratory diagnosis of TBM.
This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a booster dose of a meningococcal vaccine formulation in adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the penetration of doripenem in the cerebral spinal fluid in pediatric patients <1 year of age who are hospitalized and have a documented or suspected infection and are planning to, or undergoing treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics.
The purpose for this study is to demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of Menactra® administered between 12 and 18 months of age and concomitantly with routine immunization with two different provincial schedule Primary Objectives: - To describe the immunogenicity of Menactra® administered concomitantly with routine immunizations at 12 and 18 months in naïve or Menjugate-primed (MenC-primed) infants (measured by serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement [SBA-BR]) - To describe the immunogenicity of MenC administered concomitantly with routine immunizations at 12 months of age (measured by SBA-BR) Secondary Objectives: Safety - To describe the safety profile of Menactra® and MenC vaccines after each dose when given concomitantly with routine immunization. Immunogenicity - To describe the immunogenicity of both vaccines using serum bactericidal assay using human complement [SBA-HC] - To describe the immunogenicity of Pediacel administered at 18 months.
This study is to look at a new vaccine that might prevent meningococcal disease, and to look at the safety of the new vaccine as well as how it is tolerated when given together with Repevax. The study will be done in healthy adolescents.
All patients who were alive at the end of the dexamethasone treatment trial conducted by Oxford University CLinical Research Unit from 2001-2005 (n=340) will be eligible to participate in this long-term follow-up study. All eligible and consenting patients will undergo an assesment consisting of a simple questionnaire, a clinical examination and a blood test. Data collected will focus on survival, neurological disability and tuberculosis relapse. Data will be collected in individual case record forms and entered into a computer database.
This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and the safety of a quadrivalent vaccine MenACWY-CRM in healthy subjects from 11 to 55 years of age in Korea.
This aim of the study is to assess post-marketing safety of a single dose of Menactra® vaccine with the intent to support conversion from monitored release to initial registration of Menactra® vaccine in the Philippines. Primary Objective: To describe the serious adverse events occurring within 30 days among participants who have received one dose of Menactra® vaccine.
