Filter by:Evaluate the effectiveness of 2 doses of MenABCWY vaccine in adolescents compared to a single dose of MenACWY vaccine.
Evaluate the immune response and reactogenicity of one dose of Meningococcal ACWY-cross reactive material (CRM) and Meningococcal ACWY-tetanus toxoid (TT) in 12-15 months old healthy toddlers.
The purpose of this extension study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of a MenABCWY vaccine, administered 24 months after completion of the primary vaccination series, in subjects who previously received the same vaccine formulation in study V102_03 (Groups I and II). Antibody persistence at 24 and 36 months after the primary vaccination and 12 months after the booster dose will also be evaluated in these subjects. In addition, safety and immunogenicity of two investigational MenABCWY vaccine formulations (either a MenABCWY+ OMV or a MenABCWY+¼ OMV) will be assessed in subjects who previously received two doses of MenB vaccine (Group III) or one dose of Menveo vaccine (Group IV). These subjects will be followed for safety and immunogenicity for 12 months after vaccination in study V102_03E1.
Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates. Point-of-care prompts (either by an electronic health record message or by a nurse) when an adolescent patient comes in for any type of visit and is due for a vaccine was chosen. This study will determine if these prompts will increase immunization rates after a 12-month intervention period.
The purpose of the study was to assess the immunogenicity and safety of two doses of Novartis Meningococcal B Recombinant (rMenB+OMV NZ) vaccine administered one month apart (0, 1 month schedule) in Korean adolescents aged between 11 to 17 years.
In the UK, infants currently receive a 5-in-1 vaccine (Pediacel) at 2, 3 and 4 months of age, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Infants also routinely receive a meningococcal group C vaccine (MenC) at 3 and 4 months and a 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (Prevenar13) at 2 and 4 months of age. This study aims to offer infants a 6-in-1 vaccine (Infanrix-Hexa)that also helps protect against hepatitis B alongside the other routine vaccinations in the UK infant immunisation schedule and assess their immune responses to the different vaccines. Hepatitis B virus infects the liver and usually affects adults, but children can be infected through close contact with carriers of the virus. Children with hepatitis B infection may not have symptoms for many years but may go on to develop liver failure, cirrhosis and cancer. Many other countries already use Infanrix-Hexa and this study is being undertaken to help decide whether the UK can do the same. Babies taking part in this study will receive Infanrix-Hexa instead of Pediacel. All other vaccines given will be the same as in the routine schedule but will include one MenC vaccine instead of 2 doses because the UK infant immunisation schedule is soon going to change so that all babies will receive only one MenC vaccine at 3 months of age. There are currently several licensed MenC vaccines that can be given to babies. In order to check whether there are differences in protection, babies taking part will randomly receive one of 3 MenC-containing vaccines: NeisVacC, Menjugate or Menitorix. Studies have already shown that one dose of Neis-Vac or Menjugate given to babies at 3 months provides similar protection against MenC infection as two doses given at 3 and 4 months. Menitorix protects against both Hib and MenC, so babies in the group receiving MenitorixTM will have an extra dose of Hib which is also included in Infanrix-Hexa but might have a lower antibody response to MenC compared to the other two MenC vaccines, although all infants should be well-protected after their 12-month booster vaccinations, which also contain Menitorix.
In this extension study, V59P20E1, the sponsor was planning to assess 5-year antibody persistence in subjects who received one or two doses of MenACWY conjugate vaccine at 2 to 10 years of age, and to evaluate response to a booster dose administered 5 years after primary vaccination in the parent study V59P20 (NCT00616421).
Invasive meningococcal disease is a worldwide problem with serious repercussions for those affected. Vaccination is recognized as the best way to combat it. The cost of vaccination is prohibitive in many low-resource settings at home and abroad. By harnessing the special immunologic properties of the skin, a dose reduction may be achieved by intradermal administration of the vaccine. The cost savings associated with dose reduction will increase availability of the vaccine.
A multicenter, single arm, post-marketing surveillance study. This study is a postlicensure requirement of the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) to provide continued safety evaluation of MenACWY in the Korean population from 2 months to 55 years of age, receiving MenACWY-CRM vaccination according to routine clinical practice and prescribing information.
To evaluate the immune response and safety following a single dose of Novartis Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine (MenACWY-CRM) in healthy children, adolescents and adults in Russia.
