Filter by:The purpose of this phase III study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Sabin Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (Vero cell) in 2-month-old infants.
This first-in-human (FIH) phase 1 study is designed to evaluate in contained conditions the safety, immunogenicity, shedding, and genetic stability of two novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) vaccine candidates in IPV-primed adults before testing in a larger adult and adolescent (> 15 y of age) population, and then in young children and infants.
Many patients with polio sequelae have persistent and progressive worsening more than 15 years after the initial damage, with loss of muscle strength, asthenia and musculoskeletal pain. In these patients, there is a denervation process associated with insufficient reinnervation. The frequency of this syndrome post-polio (SPP) is of the order of 20 to 60% according to the studies. In the literature, several studies have advanced the hypothesis of immune dysregulation to this late degradation, with greater expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and abnormal phenotypic expression of T cells in the bloodstream. In this context, the use of immunomodulatory immunoglobulin IV treatment was studied several times, with no significant result on pain, fatigue and muscle strength scores. In the absence of significant efficacy of immunoglobulin treatment, the objective of this study is therefore to define the immunological profile of patients with post-polio syndrome, compared with control subjects, in order to support the pathophysiology of this syndrome. to study the possible presence of an inflammatory syndrome associated with this syndrome. On the other hand, depending on the results found, referral to targeted therapies could be considered.
This study will be conducted in four low-income areas of Bin Qasim Town Karachi. This will be a community based randomized control trial of 21 months duration. The trial will include four arms; arm A and B will enroll children age 14-18 weeks and randomize them to either full dose IPV (0.5ml) or fractional IPV (0.1ml). Arms C and D will enroll children at 9 months of age and randomize them to either fractional or full dose IPV. Children aged 14 weeks for arms A and B and 9 months for arms C and D living in the selected communities of Bin qasim Town Karachi who have not received IPV vaccine during routine immunization for arms A and B and who have documentary evidence of receiving IPV vaccine at 14 weeks of age for arms C and D will be eligible for enrollment. The investigators will exclude children who are found acutely ill or those requiring emergent medical care/hospitalization at the time of enrollment. The investigators will use the Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) in the four study areas to identify the households with eligible children. The children of the parents who agree to participate in the study will be screened for eligibility by the trained research associates. After randomization into four different arms, the study trained research vaccinators will administer the IPV or fIPV as per randomization. Children will be observed in the center for 30 minutes after vaccination before leaving for home. Parents/guardians of all the participants will also be requested to immediately report any adverse effect occurring later. This study will be conducted in compliance with this protocol, GCP guidelines and all applicable international and local regulatory requirements. The study has approval by the Ethical Review Committee of the Aga Khan University (AKU), the National Bioethics Committee of Pakistan, and ethical approval at WHO/Headquarters in Geneva. All study procedures will be conducted in AKU's field research sites from where subjects will be recruited. The Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) of AKU will be engaged in providing support for specific study procedures conducted at CTU such as randomization, management of vaccines (storage, dispensing and incineration), and other responsibilities agreed in writing. Adverse events following vaccine administration will be monitored and all serius adverse events will be reported within 24 hours to WHO, DSMB and AKU IRB. All the vaccines used are licensed in Pakistan and in routine use.
The study will assess and compare the immune response to full-dose inactivated polio vaccines (IPV) via intramuscular (IM) administration and of the fractional dose of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (f-IPV) via intradermal (ID) administration, in different schedule combinations in the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) primary series.
This is a single-center, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, open-label, phase I study to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of single injection of LBVD or Eupenta co-administered with Imovax Polio in healthy adults.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of DTPa-IPV/Hib when administered at 6, 10 and 14 weeks to healthy Indian infants, as per guidance from the Indian regulatory authority. The 6, 10 and 14 week schedule reflects the current Indian standard of care.
The purpose of this study is to select the optimal antigen dosage of the three Sabin poliovirus strains (types 1, 2, and 3) entering the composition of the stand-alone trivalent Sabin-based inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (sIPV) to take forward into advanced stage studies. The selection will be carried out comparing the three sIPV study arms based on the safety and tolerability profile after each dose of primary immunization and the immune response to poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 for both Sabin and Salk strains, after the final dose of a three dose primary immunization series (Day 85).
