Filter by:Eligible,healthy infants who have finished the 3-dose-schedule of sIPV+DTaP combined vaccination clinical trial (NCT04053010) will be recruited and divided into 4 groups, and will receive vaccination at the age of 18-month-old as follows: 1. Group 1: sIPV + DTaP + HepA, 2. Group 2: sIPV only, 3. Group 3: DTaP only, 4. Group 4: HepA only. The immunogenicity and safety of the 4 groups will be compared and analyzed before and 30-40 days after vaccination.
Single arm, monocentric trial to assess the safety and the progression-free survival related to the combined treatment of dendritic cell vaccine loaded with autologous tumor homogenate and temozolomide in patients operated for glioblastoma and then treated with standard radiochemotherapy (according to Stupp regimen).
Vaccine preventable infections are a serious complication following pediatric solid organ transplant. Immunizations are a minimally invasive and cost-effective was to reduce these infections. Despite the importance of pre-transplant vaccination, the majority of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients are not up-to-date on age-appropriate immunizations at the time of transplant. The goal of this study is to pilot a novel health information technology immunization tool to improve immunization rates in pediatric solid organ transplant candidates.
The main aim of research is to determine of the prevalence of influenza virus and influenza vaccination coverage rate among hospital and GPs healthcare workers. Course of research: Participation in the study is voluntary and carried out after the consent of the examined person. The examination consists of: 1) completing the questionnaire and 2) taking the throat swab twice by the researcher. Two throat swab samples will be taken at the same time. Both samples will be used for virological examination to determine the presence of influenza virus material using non-invasive tests: one sample will be analyzed by a quick 'on-site' test - Flu SensDx kit, while the other sample will be transported to the laboratory, where the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) - reference method - will be performed to confirm the presence of influenza genetic material. Swabs are planned to be collected during the 2019/2020 influenza epidemic season (January-March). In the last stage of the study, the results obtained from the survey questionnaire and the results of virological tests will be subject to statistical analysis and based on the data obtained, conclusions will be drawn from the study, indicating their practical application. The results obtained from this study will be used to develop a quality improvement program to control influenza virus infection, which will improve the safety of both patients and medical staff.
Single-arm, monocentric trial to assess safety and immunological efficacy of adjuvant vaccination with autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumour homogenate after curative resection for stage IV rare cancers (In Head/Neck tumors (H&N), NEuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS).
Eligible,healthy infants will be recruited and divided into 3 groups:(1)combined immunization of sIPV and DTaP group, (2) sIPV group and (3) DTaP group. After completing the two basic vaccine EPI procedures, the immunogenicity and safety of the combined immunization group and the individual vaccination groups will be compared and analyzed.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a biomedical strategy consisting of the use of antiretroviral therapy by HIV-seronegative people at high risk of acquiring HIV, to prevent the infection. Many controlled and randomized clinical trials, as well as implementation projects have shown that the use of tenofovir disoproxil (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) is both safe and effective in the prevention of HIV infection. However, the administrative situation of PrEP in Spain is anomalous. Unlike in some European countries, PrEP is not available within the National Health System (SNS), although being available for the treatment of HIV infection. In Spain the fixed-dose combination of FTC / TDF is for hospital use only, which requires prescription by HIV specialists exclusively and restricts its dispensation to pharmacy services within the hospital. This limitation in access and the knowledge of its prevention capacity of PrEP by vulnerable population has led them to obtain "generic FTC / TDF" outside the standardized health care system. According to a survey conducted in Europe to characterize MSM users of PrEP carried out in 2016, 5% of PrEP users had acquired it on their own. Of these 70% stated they were not included in any regular follow-up program while using the medication. Despite the growing demand, there are no health programs (including information, counseling, systematic screening for sexually transmissible infection (STI), etc.) aimed at meeting the health care needs of those who already use or wish to use PrEP, neither by public nor private healthcare providers. This type of service is especially necessary when considering that, among PrEP users, one may have already an established HIV infection, theoretical increase of other STI and a lack of monitoring kidney functions.. BCN Checkpoint is a community center since 2006 for the detection of HIV and other STI aimed at gay men, other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW), which has shown high efficiency in HIV screening and fast referral to standard HIV care and treatment.. In 2017 the organization opened BCN PrEP·Point, a community centre with the goal to provide information, to conduct clinical trials and clinical monitoring of informal PrEP use. For this reason, it is presented here the protocol of the SeguiPrEP study, prospective, longitudinal study of health care in the community environment, to MSM and TGW, users of informal PrEP, based on point-of-care testing technology.
Single-centre observational pilot study exploring pertussis specific antibody concentration in the breastmilk of women vaccinated against pertussis in pregnancy at different gestational ages. This study is made up of two stages: first stage to confirm recruitment methods and optimise the laboratory assay and a second stage to complete recruitment for the pilot study.
Introduction: Vaccination is a powerful weapon in the fight against infectious diseases, which has led to dramatic reduction in mortality and complications from some diseases. In this respect, vaccination is a real worldwide public health challenge (WHO). Thus, vaccine research benefits from an exponential development of knowledge in immunology and biotechnology. In particular, the advent of recent tools ("omics", new cytometric assays) and the description of new categories of immune cells (Tfh, BReg...) have revolutionized the characterization of immune responses, particularly post-vaccination. To study of the immune response following vaccination remains essential in order to define the immunological correlates to vaccine protection. This response also varies according to parameters related to the vaccine (type, adjuvant, dose, regimen…) and to the vaccinated host (genetics, age, morbidity, treatment …). Analyzing with new generation immune assays, new data on immunological responses post-vaccination from a clinical cohort is therefore essential to better define these correlates. Objective: To develop new vaccines (HIV, emerging infectious diseases) the investigators use a "System vaccinology" method to decipher the mechanisms of immune responses set up against vaccines currently being developed or marketed, specifically in specific populations (patients with primary immune deficiency, sickle cell patients, solid organ transplanted patients, COPD). Method: Description of the genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms of the immune response to vaccines recommended for adults, in particular influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, but also other mandatory vaccines (MMR,...) or vaccine for travelers (yellow fever, ...) as part of routine care in different population categories (healthy subjects, HIV+ subjects, COPD patients, …), using qualitative and quantitative immunological assays: transcriptional analysis of the dynamic innate immune response, analysis of the lymphocytes B & T responses (phenotype, repertoire analysis, functional analysis including T reg and TFH populations, antibody response), genetic analysis in the context of primary immune deficiencies) Conclusion: The data generated will allow the best possible analysis of vaccine responses according to vaccines and vaccinated populations, providing important information for the research developed within the department.
Children need routine immunizations which can be a painful procedure associated with pain and anxiety. This is particularly true of children visiting the children's hospital to visit relatives during flu season. No topical anesthetic or oral analgesia is commonly used. Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain. This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care while receiving immunizations. Investigators will measure pain, anxiety and satisfaction.
