Filter by:Primary care visits are a key aspect of clinical care focused on helping patients to close care gaps related to preventive care such as vaccination, diabetes testing, statin therapy and cancer screening. However, less than 50% of care gaps are closed during these visits and new approaches are needed to prime patients for a discussion during these visits. In this study, the study team will evaluate a health system initiative that uses text messaging to patients in days preceding a primary care visit to prime patients to be amenable to ordering of vaccination, diabetes testing, cancer screening, and statin prescribing.
This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who concomitantly received Influenza vaccine. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 when administered concomitantly with Quadrivalent Influenza vaccine (QIV) compared with V116 administered sequentially with QIV. The primary hypotheses state that immune responses to V116 and to QIV are non-inferior when administered concomitantly as compared with sequential administration as measured by serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 30 days postvaccination.
This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who previously received a pneumococcal vaccination ≥1 year before enrollment. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116.
Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is the leading cause of pneumonia, bacterial meningitis and bacteraemia worldwide in the very young and the elderly. Although pneumococcal vaccines exist, they do not provide complete protection and new strategies to combat this pathogen are urgently needed. Asymptomatic infection of S. pneumoniae in the human nasopharynx precedes the development of pneumococcal disease. Previously, an Experimental Human Pneumococcal Carriage (EHPC) model has been developed at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). The current study entails to establish this model in healthy adults living in the Netherlands using the inoculation dose currently used at LSTM. Healthy adult participants (M/F) will be inoculated intranasally with strain BHN418, a penicillin sensitive serotype 6B strain of S. pneumoniae that was previously isolated from a healthy carrier. Following inoculation, participants will be monitored and blood and nasal samples will be collected over a period of 28 ± 3 days. Participants will receive a course of amoxicillin to eradicate infection on or shortly after the last visit at day 28 ± 3, unless S. pneumoniae is not detected on both day 14 and 28 ± 3 post-inoculation.
Streptococcus Pneumoniae is one of the etiology in severe CAP and accounts for about 60-75% of cases and is likely to be the leading cause of unknown etiologic pneumonia. In Indonesia, studies regarding the prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae as the cause of CAP are still very rare. Therefore, there is still a need for further investigation in S. pneumoniae prevalence among hospitalized CAP by utilizing different detection methods in Indonesia. Antibiotics as a therapy of CAP also showed high levels of resistance, meanwhile, early detection of causative pathogen is potentially reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance and usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
The aim of the study are to assess the persistence of immunity against vaccine serotypes (VSTs) and vaccine-related serotypes in PCV10 vaccinated children in Finland.
Subjects will be recruited and divided into 3 groups: Experimental Group (384 subjects): 1st dose : combined vaccination of COVAX+IIV4, 2nd dose: combined vaccination of COVAX+PPV23; Control Group A (384 subjects): 1st dose: COVAX only, 2nd dose: COVAX only; Control Group B (384 subjects): 1st dose: IIV4 only, 2nd dose: PPV23 only. Blood samples will be collected 3 times: before the 1st dose of vaccinatioin; before the 2nd dose of vaccination; 28 days after the 2nd dose of vaccination. The immunogenicity and safety of both experimental and control groups will be analyzed.
Subjects will be recruited and divided into 3 groups: 1. Experimental Group (408 subjects): combined immunization of PPV23 and IIV4; 2. Control Group A (408 subjects): IIV4 only; 3. Control Group B (408 subjects): PPV23 only; All blood samples will be collected before and one month after vaccinatioin. The immunogenicity and safety of both experimental and control groups will be compared and the data be analyzed.
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine was added to the National Immunization Program in Russia in 2014 which could affect the changes in pneumococcal serotypes in growing population. The purpose of this study is to determine the spectrum of serotypes of S. pneumoniae in patients older 18-years: in healthy carriage, in patients with non-invasive and invasive forms of pneumococcal infection. The patients will be divide into several groups: 18-64-years old, 65 years old and older, immunocompromised patients, immunocompetent patients with concomitant diseases and patients from restricted organized collectives. This study is designed to meet the following objectives: To estimate the spectrum of serotypes of S. pneumoniae in adult population in different regions of Russia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Immunogenicity and safety of 23-Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine in healthy volunteers aged 2 Years and above.
