View clinical trials related to Pertussis.
Filter by:Pertussis is resurging worldwide. In Africa alone it is estimated that there are 2.1 million cases and 542,000 deaths from pertussis in infants under 1 year with the highest rates of morbidity and mortality in infants <3 months old, before possible prevention via the infant immunization programme1. To protect these most vulnerable infants, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends Tdap vaccination as safe in pregnancy and recommends the use of wP vaccines within the EPI. Maternal antibody following aP vaccination can interfere with infant anti-pertussis antibody responses post infant EPI vaccination, which is of concern in high burden settings such as Uganda. There are therefore multiple factors in this population which may influence the effect of pertussis immunization in pregnancy, and which have not been studied, most notably HIV infection and interference with wP vaccines in infants. The immunogenicity of Tdap in HIV-infected pregnant women has not yet been examined. In addition, to date, the effect of maternal vaccination, placental transfer and infant antibody responses in HEU infants have not been studied at all. There are no studies examining the immune response to wP vaccine administered to infants (EPI recommendation) whose mothers received aP in pregnancy.
Recruitment of individuals primed during childhood with TdaP (tetanus, diphtheria , acellular pertussis) vaccine, and administration of an Adacel booster with blood sample collection at various time points before and after vaccination. Collection of blood sample volumes will be large enough to allow assessment and comparison of multiple assays that evaluate cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses and other biomarkers following the administration of pertussis vaccinations. The ultimate objective would be to utilize these validated assays for evaluation of pertussis clinical trial results or development of new pertussis vaccine formulations.
In July 2015-November 2016, a phase II/III randomized, observer-blind,controlled study of two acellular Pertussis vaccines (aP standalone and TdaP combined vaccines) manufactured by BioNet-Asia Co., Ltd. (Bionet) and chemically-detoxified Adacel Tdap vaccine was conducted in Bangkok, Thailand in healthy participants aged 12-17 years (Protocol No. TDA202; http://clinicaltrials.in.th;Study ID:TCTR20150703002). A total of 450 participants were enrolled into the study at 2 study sites (Site No.1:Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital; Site No.2:Vaccine Trial Centre (VTC), Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University) with equal number of 225 participants enrolled at each study site. During the study, the participants had been randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to received intramuscularly a booster dose (0.5 mL) of the study vaccines. This is further follow-up from TDA202 clinical trial, which was completed on 29 November 2016. Target population for this study is the group of participants who had received one dose of one of the three study vaccines in the TDA202 trial at site VTC and who had completed the study follow-up at 1-year after vaccination (223 subjects). In this current study, the long-term persistence of pertussis antibodies induced by a booster dose of recombinant acellular Pertussis based vaccines (Pertagen and Boostagen) manufactured by Bionet will be evaluated and compared to the conventional chemically-inactivated Tdap vaccine (Adacel) at 5 years after previously immunized in the TDA202 study.
Faced with high rates of immunization drop-out, Uganda's immunization program requires innovative approaches to address this weakness. Building upon Uganda's growing mHealth infrastructure to pilot a scalable short message service (SMS) system to remind caregivers of their children's upcoming vaccination visits, it was hypothesized that the SMS intervention will increase immunization coverage in a cost-effective and affordable manner that would make it scalable. The study design was an investigator-blinded, multi-center, parallel groups randomized controlled trial with randomization occurring at the caregiver level in select health facilities of Arua District in Uganda. Enrollment took place at the time of Pentavalent 1 vaccination, and both arms included standard of care provided by the health worker. However, in the intervention arm, caregivers also received SMS text messages reminding them to return for their children's second and third doses of Pentavalent vaccine (four and eight weeks after the first dose of Pentavalent vaccine) and measles-containing vaccine (9 months of age). The primary outcome of interest is vaccination coverage at 12 months of age among children enrolled in the study and will be measured by comparing Penta3 and MCV coverage between arms. The study will also examine the SMS impact on timeliness of vaccine receipt, as it is hypothesized that those children receiving the SMS intervention will be more likely to have timely vaccination than those in the control group. The study will also assess caregiver acceptability and cost-effectiveness of the SMS intervention. In addition to assessing its impact on strengthening the immunization program, this intervention has implications for strengthening other programs of the health system through similar health messaging directed toward caregivers.

Pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus are seriously infectious diseases in children. Since using of the vaccine targeted the three components, it greatly reduced incidence of the three kinds of diseases. The Purpose of this study is to preliminary evaluate the safety of DTcP compared to adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus combined vaccine （DT），Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine（DTaP） or PENTAXIM（DTaP-IPV-Hib） in participants.
The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans. The intervention targets patients of primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners) through a modification of the existing reminders in the VA electronic health record system. The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.
This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of the BPZE1 live attenuated pertussis vaccine, intended to prevent nasopharyngeal colonization and pertussis disease, and compares a single (prime) BPZE1 dose or BPZE1 2-dose (prime + boost) to a single (prime) Boostrix or Boostrix prime + BPZE1 boost.
The objective of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b Conjugate Vaccine Adsorbed in Vietnamese infants aged 6-12 weeks. This is an open label, single group, bridging study.
