Filter by:It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication. The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the concomitant administration of Menactra® vaccine and DAPTACEL® vaccine. The main objectives are: Immunogenicity: To evaluate the antibody responses to both vaccines when Menactra vaccine is given concomitantly with DAPTACEL® compared to when either vaccine is given alone. Safety: To evaluate the rate of local and systemic reactions when DAPTACEL® and Menactra vaccines are administered concomitantly compared to when each vaccine is given alone.
Objectives: To provide safety data on revaccination with ADACEL® vaccine. To describe the immune response to tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis antigens following revaccination with ADACEL® vaccine 4-5 years after first vaccination.
GSK Biologicals' dTpa vaccine has recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for booster vaccination of adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. The ACIP has recently issued provisional recommendations for universal adult Tdap vaccination. The current study will provide pivotal data in support of extending the age range for Boostrix vaccine to include adults 19-64 years of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of Pediacel® in infants and toddlers when given at 2,3,4 and 12-18 months of age. Primary Objectives: - To compare the post-dose 3 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both are co-administered with Prevenar®. - To describe the post-dose 3 pertussis antibody responses. Secondary Objectives: - To compare the post-dose 4 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both are co-administered with Prevenar®. - To describe the safety after each vaccination following co-administration with Prevenar®.
Data from this study are expected to demonstrate that Gardasil (V501, Human Papillomavirus [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine), when administered concomitantly with a combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and poliomyelitis vaccine in adolescents remains immunogenic and well-tolerated and it does not impair the immunogenicity of the concomitant vaccines.
Data from this study are expected to demonstrate that V501 (Human Papillomavirus (HPV) [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) , when administered concomitantly with a combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and a meningococcal conjugate vaccine in adolescents remains immunogenic and well-tolerated and it does not impair the immunogenicity of the concomitant vaccines.
This is a descriptive study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® and BOOSTRIX® vaccines among US adolescents.
In this study, infants who were previously vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at birth will be randomly allocated into two groups: - one group of subjects will receive diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis- hepatitis B virus-inactivated poliovirus/Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib) vaccine at 6-10-14 weeks of age - the second group of subjects will receive DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib vaccine at 2-4-6 months of age
Post-marketing evaluation of reactions following receipt of recommended adolescent pertussis vaccine among persons with prior vaccination with acellular vs whole-cell pertussis vaccine. To describe and characterize adverse events occurring after vaccination with REPEVAX® (Tdap-IPV: combination diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis with inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine) or COVAXIS® (Tdap: combination diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis) vaccine among two groups: Group 1 - adolescents 10-14 years of age who participated in study 371-03/01 (and thus received a 5th dose of TRIPEDIA® vaccine) and Group 2 - controls 10-14 years of age who were vaccinated with at least three doses of a whole-cell pertussis vaccine in infancy plus at least one subsequent dose of pertussis vaccine in their 2nd through 7th year of life.
