Filter by:This is an open-label randomized phase IV clinical trial assessing immunogenicity of poliovirus vaccines.Participants will be enrolled at 6 weeks of age and followed to 18 months of age. The study will recruit 1645 participants in five arms.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine based on Sabin strain (LBVC) in healthy infants to select optimal dose of LBVC as well as to demonstrate the lot-to-lot consistency and non-inferiority of LBVC.
Background: Early diagnosis of respiratory impairment in Post-Polio (PPS) patients may delay respiratory decline and future need of invasive respiratory aids. Objectives: To compare pulmonary function measures, maximal respiratory pressure and activity levels and fatigue of respiratory muscles between patients with PPS and healthy controls. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Hadassah physical medicine and rehabilitation department, Jerusalem. Patients: Patients with PPS (N=12; 6 males; age 62.1±11.6 years) able to walk for 6 minutes without human assistance; age-matched healthy subjects (N=12; 4 males; age 62.2±6.5 years). Intervention: None. Measurements: A body plethysmograph was used to quantify forced expiratory volume in the first second of a forced expiratory maneuver, vital capacity, slow vital capacity, Residual Volume (RV), Total Lung Capacity (TLC), and Thoracic Gas Volume (TGV). Also, RV to TLC ratio is calculated. A manometer was used to measure Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP). A spirometer was used to measure Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV). Surface electromyography (sEMG) recorded diaphragmatic muscle activity during rest and while performing MVV.
The trial is a phase III, non-inferiority, observer-blind, randomised, controlled, multicentre clinical trial with 2 parallel groups: IPV-Al SSI (investigational vaccine) and IPV SSI (reference vaccine)
The trial is a phase III, non-inferiority, observer-blind, randomised, active controlled, multicentre clinical trial with 2 parallel groups: IPV-Al SSI (investigational vaccine) and IPV SSI (comparator vaccine). The vaccines will be administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of sIPVs of different dosages in adults, children and infants in a phase I open-label study, and then assess its immunogenicity and safety in healthy infants between 60 and 90 days old in a phase II blind, randomized, and controlled study.
The introduction of one dose of the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) into routine immunization schedules in OPV-only using countries as part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was planned for completion in 2016. However, due to recent developments in the global IPV supply landscape, the GPEI polio eradication program is facing a critical shortage of the vaccine which is forecast to continue until at least the end of 2017. The shortage means that some countries that have already introduced the vaccine, but which are considered to be relatively low risk (The Gambia included), will be left without adequate supplies and in other countries IPV introduction is being unavoidably delayed. Exacerbating the shortage is the need to reserve IPV for future outbreak responses (OBR). The current OBR protocol recommends that, if a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreak occurs (after the recent global switch from trivalent to bivalent OPV), a large scale IPV campaign will be implemented to increase population immunity to the type 2 poliovirus in an large area surrounding the outbreak as high risk of extending transmission. Due to above, dose-sparing through the administration of intra-dermal (ID) fractional (one fifth - 0.1mL) doses of IPV (fIPV) has become a very important focus and, for planning purposes, there is an urgent need to assess the practical and logistic challenges a country such as The Gambia would face in rapidly undertaking an ID fIPV campaign.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the Infanrix hexa booster dose given at 11-18 months of age to infants who received primary vaccination at 6-14 weeks. All infants in this booster study were born to pregnant women who participated in the study 116945 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-047] and having received the full primary vaccination series as per protocol requirement in study 201330 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-048.
This is an open-label phase IV, randomized controlled trial of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) and rotavirus vaccines. This trial will assess immunogenicity of a booster dose of fractional IPV (fIPV) in comparison with a full dose of IPV when given after varying IPV and fIPV schedules. Differences in immunogenicity of the varying schedules of IPV and fIPV will also be examined. Concomitantly, immunogenicity to two different rotavirus vaccines will be evaluated.
The purpose of the study is to show that the intake of L-citrulline improves muscle function in patients with Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS).
