Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years after receiving a primary vaccination of meningococcal conjugate vaccine MenACWY-TT versus Meningitec™ or Mencevax™ ACWY, and the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of MenACWY-TT administered 10 years after the primary vaccination. All subjects received a primary vaccination at 1 to 10 years of age in study 108658 (NCT00427908). No new subjects will be enrolled in this booster study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the immediate and long term (up to 5 years) immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' MenACWY-TT vaccine when given as a single dose or as 2 doses to toddlers aged 12 to 14 months. Also, this study will also assess if co-administration of GSK Biologicals' MenACWY-TT with the booster dose of Pfizer's Prevenar 13 adversely impacts the immunogenicity of either of the vaccines.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence from 6, 7, 8, 9 to 10 years post-administration of MenACWY-TT conjugate vaccine as compared to Mencevax ACWY when given to healthy subjects 11 to 55 years of age. In addition, the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of MenACWY-TT vaccine administered to all eligible subjects 10 years after the primary vaccination will be evaluated. All Filipino subjects who received the primary vaccination in the primary vaccination study 107386 (NCT00356369) will be invited to enrol in the long-term follow up and booster phase. No new subjects will be enrolled.
The study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the rMenB+OMV NZ in an adult population potentially at risk for meningococcal disease (e.g. lab workers).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence as well as safety of GSK Biologicals' MenACWY-TT vaccine versus Meningitec up to 6 years after booster vaccination administered in healthy 5 year old children in the study MENACWY-TT-048 EXT: 039 Y2, 3, 4, 5 (NCT00955682), who were primed with the same vaccine in the study MENACWY-TT-039 (NCT00474266) at 12 through 23 months of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the production of antibodies to a new conjugate vaccine, NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT, as a measure of vaccine effectiveness, compared to the production of antibodies to a similar, licensed meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, W-135) polysaccharide diphtheria toxoid (DT) conjugate vaccine. The investigators will also evaluate the safety of NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT™ conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed vaccine. The hypothesis is that the test vaccine is comparable to the licensed active control vaccine.
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.
