Filter by:The goal of this multicentre prospective observational cohort study is to shed light on the following unknowns: 1. The clinical manifestations of Mpox infection since the 2022 outbreak in Canada. 2. The social and psychological impacts of Mpox infection since the 2022 outbreak in Canada 3. The transmissibility of Mpox infection 4. Viral shedding over time in infected individuals The study is divided into Part 1 (corresponding to the acute phase of illness) and Part 2 (corresponding to the convalescent phase of the illness); part 2 will be optional. Participants enrolled during the acute phase of illness will complete part 1 of the study and will be invited to participate in Part 2 as well. Part 1 of the study will include the following three core components, at baseline and weekly (±3 days) until one week after the resolution of all symptoms (i.e. one week after complete healing of skin lesions): 1. Collection of clinical data through chart review and research staff interviews with study participants 2. Participant self-administered online questionnaires at baseline and a thrice-weekly 'acute phase participant diary' 3. Specimen collection for Mpox-related testing Optional components for Part 1 include baseline-only, questionnaire-only, and frequent sampling. Other optional components for all participants include in the Image Atlas, an online database of clinical images of mpox, designed to provide clinicians and community members of what mpox looks like in real life, and the biobank, which will store research samples for potential future studies.
Background: Mpox is a zoonotic disease caused by the mpox virus (MPXV). It has been endemic in West and Central African countries. However, the soaring number of those has been reported in non-endemic countries since May 2022, making World Health Organization (WHO) declare a global mpox Public Health Emergency of International Concern in July 2022. Those with mpox are primarily young men (96%, and median age of 34 [interquartile range (IQR):29-41 years]), and 84% are self-identified homosexual, bisexual, and men who have sex with men (MSM) . Furthermore, about half of these mpox cases with known human immunodeficiency virus 1(HIV-1, hereafter shown as HIV). WHO recommended prioritizing vaccinating those populations as high-risk populations, including those with HIV, since they will be severely ill if infected mpox virus (MPXV). The smallpox vaccine is expected to offer cross-immunity against MPXV. Under these circumstances, WHO included LC16m8 in the recommended vaccine lists for mpox as the product is expected to have cross-efficacy and immunogenicity against MPXV. Additionally, the safety profile was demonstrated in both adults and children, including infants who have low immuno-functions. Given that Colombia has the fifth highest mpox prevalence worldwide, WHO encouraged the authorities to implement vaccine programs while evaluating the safety and efficacy of LC16m8 as collaborative research. Following WHO initiative, this study is being conducted with the collaboration of various experts from Colombia and Japan on a large scale, with vaccine contributions and funding from Japan and Colombia However, the current infection situation differs from six months ago, and there have been few recent cases of MPXV infection in the country. Primary objective: To determine the efficacy of the replicating attenuated live vaccinia virus vaccine LC16m8 against laboratory-confirmed mpox and safety in a Colombian population with a high risk of being infected with MPXV(See the Inclusion Criteria), by comparing the immediate vaccination group and the delayed vaccination groups to assess safety and tolerability until 180 days after vaccination. Study design: An open randomized deployment study (1:1 Immediate and Delayed vaccination group). Study population: People at high risk of serious illness if infected with MPXV and those who engage in risk behaviors for acquiring MPXV infection.
The goal of this randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial is to test the drug tecovirimat in patients with mpox (previously known as monkeypox) disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is tecovirimat effective in treating mpox infection. - Is tecovirimat safe to treat patients with mpox infection. Participants will receive either the drug tecovirimat orally, 600 mg twice per day, or a matching placebo. The outcome of the infection and the side effect experienced will be compared between the two groups.
With the MBOTE-CONTACT study, a detailed follow-up study of high-risk contacts of mpox patients will be done. The MBOTE-CONTACT study will be nested in the NIH-Funded PALM-007 clinical trial (NCT05559099) and the MBOTE project on mpox transmission. The study will take place in Maniema Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Participants will be recruited among high-risk contacts of mpox patients included in the PALM-007 trial. Consenting contacts will be either followed daily at the central study site or visited weekly by an outreach team in the community. They will be examined daily for signs and symptoms and asked to provide daily saliva and weekly blood samples for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or serology. If participants develop mpox, they are offered treatment and enrollment in the PALM-007 trial.
The purpose of this study is to examine the extent of mpox viral spread and immunologic markers in people with advanced HIV. Study findings will enhance knowledge of mpox pathogenesis in severely immunocompromised people, which can inform treatment and prevention of severe illness and deaths associated with mpox in people with advanced HIV.
This is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational RNA-based multivalent vaccine candidate BNT166a for active immunization against monkeypox (mpox). This trial will start with the two substudies, i.e., substudy A (SSA) and substudy B (SSB). This trial will be initiated with the dose-escalation SSA. In substudy A and substudy B, dosing will start with an initial sentinel group, followed by the expansion cohort. This study was initially planned to investigate two vaccine candidates (the quadrivalent BNT166a and the trivalent BNT166c). The sponsor decided to not activate the groups with BNT166c.
The Aim: To study safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NIOCH-14 when administered orally using a set of clinical and laboratory-instrumental methods. The research tasks are to: - to assess the safety and tolerability of different single doses of the drug; - to assess the safety and tolerability of different repeated doses of the drug; - to study pharmacokinetics of single and repeated administration of the drug; - to assess the data on safety and tolerability to select the optimal drug dosing schedule to resolve the issue of conducting phase II clinical trial in an expanded cohort of volunteers.
This data collection study aims to describe and compare the outcomes of Mpox on people living with HIV (PLHIV) and HIV-negative individuals who are on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The study also aims to identify risk factors for specific Mpox outcomes.
The goal of this multicentre, observational study on mpox in infants, children and adolescents is to increase knowledge about mpox infection and its associated disease in infants, children and adolescents. This will be done through the development of a harmonized system that will allow standard collection of information on demographics, clinical symptoms, clinical course, treatments and outcomes. The study will be carried out in three potential phases: Phase 1 entails the rapid development of an online paediatric registry collecting anonymised data from routine care on infants, children and adolescents with laboratory-confirmed mpox virus infection. If warranted, the study will proceed to Phase 2, an enhanced observational study of children and adolescents with confirmed mpox virus infection, if more detailed prospective data collection would aid the public health response. There is also the potential to initiate Phase 3, comprising of nested sub-studies to investigate specific research questions in this population.
This is a cohort, non-health product, non-interventional biomedical research, multi-centric, to determine the seroprevalence of mpox infection in the population of people living with HIV and in PrEP users in Ile-de-France and in the province.
