Filter by:This Phase 3 study was intended to assess the relative efficacy of the Quadrivalent VLP Influenza Vaccine during the 2018-2019 influenza season compared to a licensed vaccine in elderly adults 65 years of age and older. One dose of VLP Influenza Vaccine (30 μg/strain) or of Comparator (15 μg/strain) was to be administered to 12,738 participants.
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the agreement between nasopharyngeal and sputum specimens in terms of detection of viral infection in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) participants.This is a 12-month national, multicenter prospective study (7 centers). Inclusions concern CF participants (children or adults) with signs of acute respiratory infection seen in consultation or hospitalized in their CF Research Center. A molecular viral multiplex search is performed on both nasopharyngeal and expectoration collected samples for each included participant. Determination of viral detection agreement between the two CF respiratory samples is then performed.
Background: Ebola virus can cause serious illness or death. No medicines are approved to treat it. Researchers need to test new medicines to see if they help people recover from Ebola and are safe to give. They need to test the drugs and compare them in a controlled way. Researchers want to test 4 drugs with people who have Ebola and are in treatment centers. Objective: To study the safety and effectiveness of 4 drugs for people with Ebola virus. Eligibility: People of any age with Ebola infection who are in treatment centers Design: Participants will be screened with questions, medical history, and blood tests. Participants will be randomly assigned to get 1 of 3 study drugs: - ZMapp by IV over about 4 hours. It will be given 3 times, 3 days apart. - Remdesivir by IV over about 1 hour. It will be given once a day for 10 days. - Mab114 by IV for 30-60 minutes. It will be given 1 time. - REGN-EB3 by IV for about 2 hours. It will be given 1 time. For at least a week, participants will stay in isolation in a clinic. They will: - Get supportive care and be monitored - Have a small plastic tube (IV) put in an arm vein for several days to give fluids and collect blood. - Get their study drug. - Be monitored for disease signs and drug side effects. They may get medicines for side effects. - Have blood and urine tests. Participants will stay in the clinic until they finish the study drug and are well enough to leave. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits over 2 months. They will answer questions and give blood and semen samples. ...
Purpose of the study: • To obtain additional data on the efficacy and safety of Anaferon in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections.
Chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC) is usually asymptomatic; nevertheless, there are studies that show that up to two thirds of patients may present some type of extrahepatic manifestation. The most frequent extrahepatic manifestation is type II mixed cryoglobulinemia (MCG-II) and clinically the most common presentation is leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) with palpable purpura that affects the lower extremities. It is estimated that up to 80% of MCG-II cases are due to CHC. Also, previous studies have demonstrated that CHC prevalence is higher in patients with autoimmune diseases compared with general population. Therefore, if vasculitis is an extrahepatic manifestation of CHC, then the prevalence of CHC infection in this group of patients could be higher than the prevalence reported in general population. The aim of the study is to know the prevalence of CHC, determined by serological rapid test for hepatitis C screening, then all positive cases will be confirmed by quantitative viral load, in patients who consult primarily to a rheumatology department for "vasculitis" or other potential hepatitis C extrahepatic manifestations (rheumatological conditions).
The aim of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility of viral biomolecular diagnosis in sputum compared to nasopharyngeal swab in cystic fibrosis acute respiratory infection.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is very common in Egypt and the middle east. The disease affects multiple body organs and may proceed to hepatocellular carcinoma. The viral disease causes changes in the microbial symbiosis in the human body. Thus, the analysis of the microbiome may provide a means of diagnosis for HCV infection. Thus, this study will be held to detect if the microbiome of patients having HCV differ from that of normal individuals.
Introduction: It is estimated that more than one million Brazilians were infected by zika virus in the last two years. Brazilian researchers first noted the virus's potential association with microcephaly. Objective: This study aimed to describe the motor performance of children aged between 6-18 months with the diagnoses of congenital Zika syndrome. Method: This is a cross-sectional, prospective and descriptive study. The study population consisted of 31 children. Participants were evaluated using Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM).
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, single strand, positive sense RNA flavivirus. Infection by HCV is typically chronic, although an estimated ~10-20% may spontaneously clear the virus. HCV affects between 1.3 - 2 billion individuals, or 2-3% of the global population. HCV has a seroprevalence of approximately 1% in developed countries such as the US and Korea. Chronic HCV infection leads to hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. This Phase I study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-6150 administered intradermally (ID) followed by electroporation at 1.0 mg and 2.0 mg/dose assessing 3 and 4-dose regimens.
The present clinical phase I study designed to examine the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the medicinal product - Vaccine vector against influenza A - in healthy volunteers after a single dose in the three groups with dose escalation.
