The purpose of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and describe the safety of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed Meningococcal polysaccharide groups A, C, W-135 and Y (Nimenrix®) Conjugate vaccine in toddlers 12 to 23 months of age in the European Union (EU). The toddlers were either meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent meningococcal C (MenC) vaccination during infancy to evaluate any potential impact of the meningococcal vaccine background on the immunogenicity and safety profile of the investigational product. Primary Objectives: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy. - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers. Secondary Objectives: - To compare the antibody responses (geometric mean titers [GMTs]) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) in toddlers who either were meningococcal vaccine naïve or had received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy. - To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in meningococcal vaccine naïve toddlers. - To compare the antibody responses (GMTs) to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W after a dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Nimenrix® as measured by hSBA in toddlers who received monovalent MenC vaccination during infancy.
This study will evaluate the immunogenicity of a reduced dosing schedule of Pneumococcal Conjugate vaccine (PCV) PCV10 and PCV13, in which children will receive a primary dose at either 6 or 14 weeks of age, followed by a booster dose at 9 months of age (1+1 schedule), and compare this immune response to those who receive a two dose primary series (at 6 and 14 weeks of age) and booster dose at 9-months (2+1 schedule).
This study aims to use a clinically validated metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) assay to provide a demonstration of precision medicine for diagnosis of acute infectious disease in hospitalized patients. From June 2016 to June 2017, 200 patients will be enrolled from multiple hospitals in California and outside of California. Patients will be evaluated to determine the impact on the mNGS assay on diagnostic yield, hospital costs and clinical outcomes.
Vitamin D has been shown to impact prognosis in a variety of retrospective and randomized clinical trials within an intensive care unit (ICU) environment. Despite these findings, there have been no studies examining the impact of hypovitaminosis D in specialized neurocritical care units (NCCU). Given the often significant differences in the management of patients in NCCU and more generalized intensive care units there is a need for further inquiries into the impact of low vitamin D levels in this specific environment. This study proposes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single center evaluation of vitamin D supplementation in the emergent NCCU patient population. The primary outcome will involve length-of-stay for emergent neurocritical care patients. Various secondary outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, ICU length-of-stay, Glasgow Outcome Score on discharge, complications and quality-of-life metrics. Patients will be followed for 6 months post-discharge.
The purpose of the study is to perform the re-examination of Menactra® administered in the routine clinical settings in accordance with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulation. Primary objective: - To describe the safety profile after 1 dose of Menactra® administered from 9 months to 55 years of age under standard health care practice.
A point-of-care laboratory (POC) was set at North Hospital, Marseille, France for the diagnosis in less than two hours of meningitis caused by known pathogens, close to the reception of Emergency service. In this instance 30% of patients have no etiological diagnosis after the POC diarrhoea tests . This lab has discovered over 200 new species of bacteria in humans, including vector bacteria and opened the field of large Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA ) viruses. Also, the laboratory of emerging viruses discovered many Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) viruses transmitted by arthropods. Based on this collection of new pathogens described in POC laboratory, this study proposes to expand the etiological diagnosis strategy of meningitis after POC test.
The aim of the study was to demonstrate non-inferiority of immunogenicity and evaluate the safety of a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y, and W) Tetanus Toxoid conjugate vaccine (MenACYW conjugate vaccine) compared to a single dose of Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 Combined (Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135) in adults 56 years of age and older in the United States. Primary objective: -To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to those observed following the administration of a single dose of Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135. Secondary objective: -To compare the serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) antibody geometric mean titers of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of MenACYW conjugate vaccine to those observed following the administration of Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135. Observational objectives: - To describe antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured by hSBA at baseline (before vaccination) and 30 days after vaccination with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135 in a subset of 100 participants per treatment group. - To describe the safety profile of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to that of the licensed Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135 after a single administration.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate immune lot consistency of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine and the immune non-inferiority compared to the licensed vaccine Menactra®, and describe the safety and additional immunogenicity of these study vaccines in adolescents and adults 10 to 55 years of age in the United States (US). Primary Objectives: - To demonstrate the immune lot consistency of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine with respect to serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) geometric mean titers (GMTs). - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine (pooled Lots 1 to 3) compared to those observed following the administration of a single dose of Menactra®. Secondary Objective: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine (pooled Lots 1 to 3) compared to those observed following the administration of a single dose of Menactra® in the adult population (18 to 55 years old). - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a single dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine (pooled Lots 1 to 3) compared to those observed following the administration of a single dose of Menactra® in the adolescent population (10 to 17 years old). - To compare the hSBA vaccine seroresponses of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W for each of 3 lots of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine 30 days (+14 days) after vaccination. - To compare the hSBA antibody GMTs of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine to those observed following the administration of Menactra®. Observational Objectives: - To describe the safety profile of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and that of the licensed Menactra®.
Meningitis are serious infections. Evidenced by high rates of mortality and sequelae. However, these diseases have a relatively small impact. Also physician services Home Emergencies they must be vigilant, alert, for clinical signs to be suspected meningitis. Indeed, it is only after this essential clinical milestone that will be carried out a lumbar puncture which will confirm the diagnosis and to quickly begin treatment. Unfortunately, if recent studies can improve the therapeutic management of patients with meningitis, no study was interested in yet fundamental step of diagnosis. It seems therefore necessary to achieve a prospective clinical study to reassess the adequacy of the clinical signs in the diagnosis of meningitis. The ideal would be to achieve a predictive clinical score of the presence or absence of meningitis.
