Filter by:The primary purposes of this study are to find out if using high doses of the drug Gefitinib (Iressa) as a way to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the covering of the brain and/or spinal cord (meninges) results in any bad side effects; and to determine the highest dose that can be given to patients in this setting.
Lung immune responses are regulated independently of systemic responses. Injected vaccines may induce optimal responses in blood but not at mucosal surfaces. We compared the responses in serum and lung fluid to injected pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
The limited available data precludes establishing an antibiotic regimen in patients suffering from bacterial meningitis after head trauma, or spontaneous bleeding Understanding the disposition of Amikacin administered intrathecally will enable to propose rational treatment of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the concomitant administration of Menactra® vaccine and DAPTACEL® vaccine. The main objectives are: Immunogenicity: To evaluate the antibody responses to both vaccines when Menactra vaccine is given concomitantly with DAPTACEL® compared to when either vaccine is given alone. Safety: To evaluate the rate of local and systemic reactions when DAPTACEL® and Menactra vaccines are administered concomitantly compared to when each vaccine is given alone.
Immunogenicity and Safety of the Concomitant Administration of a Tdap Vaccine and Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Subjects Aged 11-25 Years
Data from this study are expected to demonstrate that V501 (Human Papillomavirus (HPV) [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) , when administered concomitantly with a combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and a meningococcal conjugate vaccine in adolescents remains immunogenic and well-tolerated and it does not impair the immunogenicity of the concomitant vaccines.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter efficacy and safety trial to evaluate Mycograb®. Subjects will be randomized to receive either Mycograb® (dosed 1 mg/kg) or placebo during the first week of induction therapy (amphotericin B plus 5-flucytosine) via a central line or peripheral venous line twice daily for 7 consecutive days. The total duration of the study will be approximately 24 months.
Does the use of ultrasound facilitate a lumbar puncture by reducing the number of difficult and traumatic lumbar punctures?
To assess the immunogenicity of Novartis (formerly Chiron) Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) when administered as a two-dose schedule at 6 and 12 months of age.
To compare the functional immune response 28 days after administration of one dose of Men ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine without adjuvant (MenACWY-CRM(Ad-)) with that of a Men ACWY polysaccharide (PS) vaccine
