Filter by:This study is to observe the carriage rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.), Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib) and Moraxella catarrhalis (M.Cat.) in healthy Chinese children aged 12-18 months in order to estimate the prevalence of pathogens that commonly cause infection in Chinese young children. The antibiotic resistance of all isolates and the serotypes distribution of S.p. isolates will also be tested. Potential risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage will be collected.
The main aim of this clinical study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of different dose strengths of IC47 up to 6 months after the first vaccination. A total of 32 healthy subjects (male or female) will participate in this clinical study. The subjects will be divided into 4 groups of 8 subjects each. Thirty (30) μg or 150 μg of IC47 will be administered three times in intervals of 42 days each.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response to 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnCV) in children who as infants received either a complete series of PnCV versus a combination of PnCV and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PSV). This study is also intended to evaluate the safety of the 13vPnC.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the prevention of the first episode of vaccine-type pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia in adults.
PneuMum is a randomised controlled trial that aims to find out if pneumococcal vaccination for Australian Indigenous mothers, in the last few months of pregnancy or at delivery, can prevent ear disease in infants. Mothers will receive the 23 valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (23vPPV) either: a) during the third trimester of pregnancy; b) soon after child birth; or c) seven months after child birth (control group). The adult diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis vaccine (dTpa) will be used as the control vaccine for the birth dose. The study aims to recruit 210 Indigenous women aged 17-39 years who have an uncomplicated pregnancy. Following recruitment, subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Each mother and infant will be followed from pregnancy until the baby is seven months of age. All routinely recommended vaccinations on the standard vaccination schedule will continue to be offered by the subject's vaccine provider in accordance with current clinical practice. The primary outcome will be prevalence of middle ear disease at seven months of age, defined as middle ear effusion or tympanic membrane perforation or acute otitis media. Pneumatic otoscopy, video-otoscopy and tympanometry will be used in the ear examinations. The primary analyses will be a direct comparison of the proportion of infants in the control group who have nasopharyngeal carriage of one or more vaccine type pneumococci at seven months of age compared to infants in each of the other two groups. A similar comparison of the proportion with middle ear disease will be undertaken between the control group and the respective intervention group.
The purpose of this study is: To assess whether there are differences in antibody persistence eight months post primary (pre−booster) or in responses to the booster with regard to the Meningococcal C Conjugate (MCC) vaccine given in infancy. To examine levels of diphtheria and tetanus antibody pre− and post−booster, with regard to the carrier proteins contained in the conjugate vaccines.
The purpose of this study is to determine that revaccination of Pneumococcal Vaccine is well tolerated and produces an immune response in older adults.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of study vaccines 13vPnC and 23vPS in older, healthy subjects who have previously received a dose of 23vPS at least 5 years ago. It will also evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity to a dose of 13vPnC 1 year after the initial dose of study vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Zoster Vaccine Live and Pneumococcal Vaccine, polyvalent are as well tolerated and immunogenic when the vaccines are given together (in different body sites), as when they are given alone, in adults 60 years of age and older.
This study is designed to assess the impact of 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vPnC) on nasopharyngeal colonization with Streptococcus pneumoniae in healthy infants.
