Filter by:The study objective is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of DTaP-IPV combination vaccine administered as a boosting dose to healthy 4 to 6-year-old children who received three doses of primary immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio.
Primary Objectives : - To describe the long-term humoral immune responses to pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens - To determine the effects of the priming regimen on humoral responses to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine - To describe the long-term cell-mediated immune responses to pertussis after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens - To determine the effects of the priming regimen on cell-mediated immune response to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine Secondary Objective: To describe the safety profile of Tdap-IPV vaccine in each group
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy (immunogenicity) of a single dose of GC3111 versus Boostrix® vaccine among healthy adults in 19-64 years of age.
Faced with high rates of immunization drop-out, Uganda's immunization program requires innovative approaches to address this weakness. Building upon Uganda's growing mHealth infrastructure to pilot a scalable short message service (SMS) system to remind caregivers of their children's upcoming vaccination visits, it was hypothesized that the SMS intervention will increase immunization coverage in a cost-effective and affordable manner that would make it scalable. The study design was an investigator-blinded, multi-center, parallel groups randomized controlled trial with randomization occurring at the caregiver level in select health facilities of Arua District in Uganda. Enrollment took place at the time of Pentavalent 1 vaccination, and both arms included standard of care provided by the health worker. However, in the intervention arm, caregivers also received SMS text messages reminding them to return for their children's second and third doses of Pentavalent vaccine (four and eight weeks after the first dose of Pentavalent vaccine) and measles-containing vaccine (9 months of age). The primary outcome of interest is vaccination coverage at 12 months of age among children enrolled in the study and will be measured by comparing Penta3 and MCV coverage between arms. The study will also examine the SMS impact on timeliness of vaccine receipt, as it is hypothesized that those children receiving the SMS intervention will be more likely to have timely vaccination than those in the control group. The study will also assess caregiver acceptability and cost-effectiveness of the SMS intervention. In addition to assessing its impact on strengthening the immunization program, this intervention has implications for strengthening other programs of the health system through similar health messaging directed toward caregivers.
Background: Tetanus is a life-threatening disease in developing countries, and accompanied by a high mortality rate. China is the world's largest developing country, and Fujian Province is a typical coastal province in China with a relatively developed economy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology, incidence and management of tetanus in Fujian Province and to understand the current treatment and prognosis of tetanus patients in China. Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter observational study of patients who presented with a clinical diagnosis of tetanus at 5 general hospitals in Fujian. Data was analyzed using computer software system.
This is a prospective, open label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase 1 study measuring the safety and tetanus antibody responses to Tdap vaccine administered to plasma donors every 3 months ±1 week for 12 months (5 vaccinations) with a 6 month follow-up after the last vaccination. After obtaining informed consent and screening for eligibility including plasmapheresis donor eligibility, subjects will have other baseline assessments performed and if eligible, will receive the scheduled vaccinations, will be assessed for adverse events (AEs) and have plasma samples collected for antibody titers each month thereafter for 11 months, and then at 1 and 6 months after the last vaccination. As these subjects are participating in a standard donor plasmapheresis donor program, assessments for donor eligibility and routine plasmapheresis will be performed; however, only the data specifically required to meet the objectives of this study will be collected.
Pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus are seriously infectious diseases in children. Since using of the vaccine targeted the three components, it greatly reduced incidence of the three kinds of diseases. The Purpose of this study is to preliminary evaluate the safety of DTcP compared to adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus combined vaccine （DT），Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine（DTaP） or PENTAXIM（DTaP-IPV-Hib） in participants.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of three different doses of candidate hexvalent vaccine in comparison to co-administration of EupentaTM Inj. and Imovax® Polio in separate injections at four weeks after completion of three-dose primary series at 6-10-14 weeks of age when administered to healthy infants and thereby to select the optimal dose of candidate vaccine
A prospective, open-label, interventional phase IV study to assess the safety of EupentaTM Inj.{fully liquid pentavalent vaccine, Adsorbed Diphtheria-Tetanus-whole-cell Pertussis-Hepatitis B (rDNA [recombinant-deoxyribonucleic acid])-Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine}
The primary objectives of this study are: - To describe the safety profile of each of the investigational vaccine formulations for all participants - To describe the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to all of the investigational vaccine formulations - To evaluate the dose response to vaccine components - To describe the magnitude, quality, and longevity of immune responses to each of the investigational vaccine formulations
