Filter by:This study will assess the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed, distributed in the body and removed over time) and safety of a single dose of ceftobiprole in pediatric patients undergoing treatment with systemic antibiotics and may be used to guide dosing recommendations for ceftobiprole in children.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed in the body, how they are distributed within the body and how they are removed from the body over time) of ceftobiprole in morbidly obese patients and non-obese patients. The secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacodynamics (the study of the action or effects a drug has on the body) and to assess safety and tolerability of ceftobiprole in order to support dosing recommendations in the morbidly obese population.
This study will assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of different formulations of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal vaccine 2189242A when administered alone or in combination with the 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A vaccine) as a 2-dose primary vaccination course followed by a booster dose in healthy children aged 12-23 months at the time of first vaccination. Considering that febrile reactions are frequently observed following pneumococcal vaccination, usually co-administered with other routine paediatric vaccines, the primary study objective will focus on evaluating the increase in grade 3 fever (i.e. rectal temperature >40.0°C).
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A when administered either as a booster dose or as a two dose catch-up vaccination in the second year of life to the Malian subjects previously enrolled in the primary vaccination study NCT00678301. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00678301).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the immune memory through the administration of an additional dose of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A, the antibody persistence and long-term effect on nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae in subjects primed and boosted with GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A in previous primary and booster studies. For subjects that did not receive the investigational vaccine during the primary and booster study, the objective is to evaluate immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a 2-dose catch-up vaccination with GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT00370318). The objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT00496015).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of a booster (fourth) dose of pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A when co-administered with Hiberix at 12-18 months of age, in children primed with the same vaccines in primary study NCT00680914.
The aim of this study is to assess the immune response, safety and reactogenicity following administration of an additional dose of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine at approximately 4 years of age in children previously vaccinated with 3 primary doses of GSK 1024850A or Prevenar™ vaccine within the first 6 months of life and a booster dose of plain polysaccharide pneumococcal (Pneumovax 23™) vaccine at 11-14 months of age. Antibody persistence will also be assessed at approximately 4 years of age in children previously vaccinated with 3 doses of either GSK 1024850A or Prevenar™ vaccine followed by a booster dose of Pneumovax 23™. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phase at year 4. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT 00307541). The objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT 00333450).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a booster dose of pneumococcal vaccines (GSK 2189242A) in young adults. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT 00707798)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a coordinated regional approach to healthy skin programs in six remote Aboriginal communities can demonstrate, not only a reduction in the burden of scabies and streptococcal skin sores, but also broad health benefits, including primary prevention of some chronic diseases that occur at particularly high rates in Australian Aboriginal communities. The primary objectives of the Program are: - Demonstrate a reduction in scabies and skin sores on a regional basis - Demonstrate the broader public health effects of Healthy Skin Programs, particularly those relating to chronic diseases such as rheumatic fever and renal diseases - Build on the existing Indigenous capacity by assisting in the development of new knowledge and skills to improve the health and well being of Indigenous communities - Establish the feasibility of incorporating Healthy Skin Programs into existing health service delivery
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A), administered according to different vaccination schedules, against invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae or H. influenzae as well as vaccine impact on the occurrence of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia cases, tympanostomy tube placement and outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions. This study will also explore vaccine impact on occurrence of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), including acute otitis media (AOM) in a subset of children in Turku area.
