Filter by: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.
The Aim: Study immunogenicity, confirm the safety and tolerability of different schedules of vaccination with "live cell-based vaccine against smallpox and other orthopoxvirus infections (VAC∆6 vaccine) based on vaccinia virus" using a complex of clinical and laboratory-instrumental techniques. The research tasks are to: 1. To study the immunological activity of a single VAC∆6 vaccine dose of 1x10⁷ plaque-forming units (PFU). 2. To study the immunological activity of two VAC∆6 vaccine doses (given 28 days apart) of 1x10⁶ PFU. 3. Assess the safety of different VAC∆6 vaccination schedules using a set of clinical and laboratory-instrumental techniques (thermometry, measurement of blood pressure, heart and lung auscultation, ECG, common blood and urine tests, biochemical, immunological and virological studies). 4. Assess the reactogenicity of different VAC∆6 vaccination schedules (number of local and systemic reactions, the percentage of those vaccinated with systemic and local reactions of various severity degrees). 5. To identify VAC∆6 vaccine-associated adverse events. 6. Study cell-mediated immunity induced by different VAC∆6 vaccination schedules. 7. Determine the presence of the virus in specific skin formations (crusts, pustules), saliva, blood and urine. 8. Evaluate the protective efficacy of one and two doses of the studied VAC∆6 vaccine.
The aim of the clinical study is to study the safety and tolerability of the live cell-based vaccine against smallpox and other orthopoxvirus infections (VAC∆6 vaccine) based on vaccinia virus, in intracutaneous administration. The research tasks are to: - evaluate the safety of various schemes for the use of the VAC∆6 vaccine using a set of clinical and laboratory-instrumental methods (thermometry, blood pressure registration, auscultation of the heart and lungs, electrocardiography (ECG), complete blood count and common urine test, biochemical, immunological, and virological studies); - evaluate the reactogenicity of various schemes for the use of the VAC∆6 vaccine (taking into account the number of local and systemic reactions, the percentage of those vaccinated with various degrees of manifestation of systemic and local reactions); - evaluate the possibility of virus shedding into the environment by volunteers; - evaluate the immunological efficacy of various vaccine administration schemes; - identify the development of undesirable reactions to the administration of the vaccine; - evaluate the cellular immune response to the introduction of various schemes for the use of the vaccine; - evaluate preliminary efficacy data in order to select an optimal scheme for the administration of the vaccine to make a decision on conducting Phase II clinical trials in an extended group of volunteers.
The study team will create an online module via the REDCap platform. The module will include around 5 videos and several infographics covering the topics of symptoms, transmission, prevention, vaccination, and treatment of the monkeypox virus. Surveys assessing the primary and secondary study endpoints will be given to participants before and after the module. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and acceptability of an educational presentation on monkeypox in a cohort of individuals recruited from Rainbow Health and to secondarily assess participant risk perception, intention to vaccinate, and confidence in public health initiatives.
General objective: to measure the preparedness of pharmacists and medical interns about monkeypox Specific objectives: to evaluate the level of knowledge among pharmacists and medical interns about monkeypox treatment and nature of disease
The present observational study has been designed to understand the dynamics of viral clearance amongst patients with confirmed monkeypox, by quantifying monkeypox viral load in different specimens trough time, to better inform decision-making about patient management and isolation guidelines. Also, an immune analysis will be performed in a subset of individuals to describe humoral and cellular responses to monkeypox.
Monkeypox (MPX) is a viral zoonosis, caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a DNA virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus and is closely related to the variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. Until recently the spread of MPX was mainly confined to the Central African rainforest and to parts of West Africa. However, in May 2022, several cases of MPX were detected throughout Europe and Northern America, albeit with a different presentation than previously seen. Many questions remain on this new presentation of the disease: what the exact mode of transmission is, how contagious the virus really is and whether asymptomatic carriers exist. With this study the researchers aim to perform a close follow-up study of close contacts of MPX confirmed cases. Participants are recruited among high and very high risk contacts of confirmed monkeypox patients that presented to the ITM for diagnosis (index). Contacts that are asymptomatic (for symptoms compatible with MPXV infection according to national case definitions) at the time of recruitment will be enrolled. Contacts of the index case that are symptomatic at recruitment or become symptomatic during follow-up will be invited for sample collection at different timepoints until 21 days after contact as suspect cases.
During an outbreak of monkeypox in the UK in 2018, a third generation smallpox vaccine, Imvanex, was used for the first time to immunise healthcare workers who had been, or were expected to be, in contact with cases of monkeypox. This study will examine the antibody responses in these healthcare workers compared to control groups, to provide evidence that the vaccine can produce a response consistent with protection when used in this context.
