Filter by:The genetically polymorphic N-acetyltransferase type 2 (NAT2) is responsible for isoniazid metabolism, and rapid acetylators were associated with low concentrations of isoniazid based on previous studies. The investigators hypothesize that among rapid acetylators high dose isoniazid would result in lower rates of death and disability in patients with tuberculous meningitis than the rates with the standard regimen. The investigators recruited patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years with newly diagnosed TBM, then NAT2 genotype will be characterized by using High-Resolution Melting Kit (Zeesan Company, Xiamen). Participants with slow or intermediate acetylators will be administered with standard chemotherapy. For participants with rapid acetylators, patients were stratified at study entry according to the modified British Medical Research Council criteria (MRC grade), then randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either standard or with high dose isoniazid treatment. All patients received antituberculosis treatment, which consisted of isoniazid (standard dose or high dose), rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol for 3 months, followed by isoniazid, rifampin and ethambutol at the same doses for an additional 9 months. All patients received adjunctive treatment with dexamethasone for the first 6 to 8 weeks of treatment. 338 participants with rapid acetylators were randomly assigned to group B (standard treatment) and group C (high dose isoniazid), respectively. At the same time, 338 participants with slow or intermediate acetylators were recruited to group A (standard treatment). The primary outcome was death or severe disability 12 months after enrollment. Secondary outcome measures were coma-clearance time, fever-clearance time, and difference of laboratory examination (protein concentration, chloride, glucose and white cell counts) of cerebrospinal fluid.
This study is to confirm non-inferiority of the three MenACWY vaccines (Menveo, Menactra or Nimenrix) in adolescents, and to identify whether the number of previous doses of MenC influences the response to the MenACWY vaccine.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the vaccine seroresponse to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following administration of 2 doses of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to 2 doses of MENVEO® when given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines to infants and toddlers 6 to 7 months of age and 12 to 13 months of age. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the percentage of participants with antibody titers to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W ≥ 1:8 following administration of 2 doses of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to 2 doses of MENVEO® when given concomitantly with pediatric routine vaccines to infants and toddlers at 6 to 7 months of age and 12 to 13 months of age. - To describe the antibody response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W 30 days after the second vaccination at 12 to 13 months of age with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or MENVEO®. - To describe the antibody response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W 30 days and 6 months after the first vaccination at 6 to 7 months of age with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or MENVEO®. - To describe the antibody response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W 30 days after the second vaccination at 20 to 23 months of age with MenACYW conjugate vaccine or Menactra®.
The primary objective of this study was to describe the safety profile of Meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y, and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate Vaccine and Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W 135) Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 (MENVEO®) Conjugate Vaccine when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers.
MenACWY (Menveo) is a GSK vaccine intended for protection against disease caused by meningococcal bacteria groups A, C, W and Y in infants, children and adults, licensed in more than 60 countries. The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity of the currently licensed MenACWY vaccine with the investigational MenACWY liquid vaccine.
The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y (MenACYW) in terms of serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA) vaccine seroprotection (antibody titer greater than or equal to [>=] 1:8) when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was administered concomitantly with Bexsero® in the second year of life compared to when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was given alone. The secondary objectives were to compare the hSBA antibody response in terms of geometric mean titers (GMTs) against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was administered concomitantly with Bexsero® or when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was given alone in the second year of life; to describe the hSBA and serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) antibody responses against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y before and after the 1st dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine administered at 3 months of age, before and after the 2nd dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine administered at 12 to 13 months of age for Group 1 and Group 2; to describe the hSBA and rSBA antibody persistence against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y after the 1st dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine administered at 3 months of age for Group 1 and Group 2.
Primary Objective: 1. To describe the vaccine seroprotection (antibody titer greater than or equal to [>=] 1:8) to the antigens (meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W) present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Menveo® measured by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), for Groups 1 and 2 when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers in Mexico. 2. To describe the vaccine seroprotection (antibody titer >=1:8) to the antigens (meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W) present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine measured by hSBA, for Group 3, when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers in the Russian Federation. Secondary Objective: 1. To describe hSBA vaccine seroresponse to the antigens (meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W) 30 days after the last vaccination of the infant series, when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants and toddlers in Mexico and Russian Federation (RF). 2. To describe immunogenicity profile of routine pediatric vaccines when administered concomitantly with MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Menveo®; or when administered alone. 3. To describe hSBA antibody responses against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and Menveo® are administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in Mexico and RF. 4. To describe antibody titers to the antigens present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine and Menveo®, before the first vaccination and 30 days after the last vaccination of the infant series and in the second year of life, when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines in a subset of participants in Mexico and RF.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Bexsero (meningococcal group B vaccine-rMenB+OMV NZ) in North American infants 6 weeks through 12 weeks of age, when administered concomitantly with Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 13) and other recommended routine infant vaccines(RIV).
Primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a 3-dose series of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to a 3-dose series of a licensed meningococcal vaccine when each vaccine is given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines (10-valent pneumococcal vaccine and diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b [DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib vaccine]) to infants and toddlers 6 weeks to 18 months old Secondary objectives are: - To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody (Ab) response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of 2 doses in infancy of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to 2 doses of a licensed meningococcal vaccine when each vaccine is given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines (10-valent pneumococcal vaccine and DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib vaccine) to infants and toddlers 6 weeks to 18 months old. - To describe the Ab responses against meningococcal groups A, C, Y, and W and the antigens of the routine pediatric vaccines administered in the study.
