Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of TETRAXIM™ administered in routine clinical practice according to Korea Food and Drug Administration Notification No. 2009-46 "Basic standard for reexamination of new drug" based on the pharmaceutical law in Korea.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the Quinvaxem vaccine (a liquid combination vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, B. pertussis, hepatitis B and H. influenzae Type B). Healthy Vietnamese infants received three doses of vaccine at 2, 3 and 4 months of age according to the local Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) schedule
The study was designed to compare the safety and immunogenicity of DTap-IPV with DAPTACEL® + IPOL® as the 5th dose booster in children ≥ 4 to < 7 years of age in the US and Puerto Rico who were previously vaccinated with DAPTACEL® and/or Pentacel® vaccines only. Primary Objectives: - To compare the pertussis [Pertussis Toxoid (PT), Filamentous Haemagglutinin (FHA), Pertactin (PRN), and Fimbriae Types 2 and 3 (FIM)] booster responses and geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) (as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) following DTap-IPV vaccination to those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccination when administered as a 5th dose. - To compare the diphtheria and tetanus booster responses and GMCs (as measured by ELISA) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations when administered as a 5th dose . - To compare the Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine booster responses (as measured by neutralizing assay) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations. Observational Objectives: - To compare the polio (types 1, 2, and 3) geometric mean titers (GMTs) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations. - To assess the safety of DTap-IPV vaccine or DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccine when administered as the fifth dose booster vaccine in participants previously vaccinated with DAPTACEL and/or Pentacel vaccines.
Primary objective: - To demonstrate that 3 doses of a vaccine containing Td-IPV valences administered in a 0, 1 and 6-month schedule induce an acceptable immune response in terms of seroprotection rates (SPR) against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis 1, 2 and 3, in subjects of 40 years of age or older with no diphtheria- and tetanus-containing booster within the last 20 years - To evaluate the percentage of subjects with antibody titre ≥5 EU/mL (ELISA) for each of the pertussis components (PT, FHA, PRN and FIM) after 1 dose of REPEVAX in these subjects Secondary objectives: - If the primary objective is achieved, to determine whether 1 or 2 doses of a vaccine containing Td-IPV valences induce an acceptable response in terms of seroprotection rates (SPR) against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis 1, 2 and 3, in subjects of 40 years of age or older with no diphtheria- and tetanus-containing booster within the last 20 years - To describe the immune responses to REPEVAX in these subjects - To describe the immune responses to REVAXIS administered 1 and 6 months after the administration of REPEVAX in these subjects
Persistent cough is a common symptom, accounting for about 20% of referrals to outpatient chest clinics. Most coughs are caused by self-limiting viral infections such as the common cold. However, 1 in 4 people with a viral infection develop a persistent cough, which can go on for several weeks. Whooping cough is a common cause of persistent cough in young people and adults. Although the whooping cough vaccine gives lifelong protection against severe infection, it does not appear to give such long-term protection against milder infections, which can make someone cough for many weeks. There are currently no proven efficacious treatments for persistent cough following either a viral infection or infection with whooping cough. Montelukast is a medication which is already licensed for the treatment of asthma. It works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes, which make the airways of people with asthma inflamed and sensitive. There is strong evidence to suggest that leukotrienes are also involved in causing persistent cough following viral or whooping cough infection. Montelukast may therefore also help settle persistent coughs in these settings. Over 18 months, we will recruit patients aged 16-49 years with a cough lasting 2-8 weeks from general practices in England. An oral fluid sample will be taken from each participant to be tested for whooping cough. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive a 28-day course of montelukast or placebo tablets and asked to complete a daily cough diary for two weeks. They will be assessed after two weeks by their GP (face-to-face) and after four weeks by another member of practice clinical staff (telephone). Some participants will be given a 24-hour cough monitor to wear on study entry and at two-week follow-up. This study will be funded by the National Institute for Health Research's School of Primary Care.
This study will assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the candidate GSK Biologicals' reduced antigen diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis- inactivated poliovirus vaccine when administered to healthy subjects aged ≥ 15 years in Germany and ≥ 18 years in France compared to Boostrix™ and inactivated poliovirus vaccine administered separately, and with Revaxis®
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' (formerly known as SmithKline Beecham Biologicals) combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine in healthy adults, from the age of 18 onwards, in Australia.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly, SmithKline Beecham Biologicals) reduced-antigen-content acellular pertussis vaccine and reduced-antigen-content diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine in comparison with Tedivax-Adult™/ Td-Rix™
Primary objectives: To demonstrate that REPEVAX and VAXIGRIP administered concomitantly in subjects 60 years of age and older are at least as immunogenic as REPEVAX or VAXIGRIP administered separately. Secondary objectives: •Secondary immunogenicity objectives: To describe the immune responses 28 days after concomitant or separate administration of REPEVAX and VAXIGRIP in subjects 60 years of age and older To describe the immune response of VAXIGRIP according to European Medicines Agency criteria in subjects 60 years of age and older (Note for Guidance, 1997: 28) •Secondary safety objective: To describe the safety profile after vaccination in each group
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a new live attenuated vaccine against whooping-cough. It is a phase1, single centre, dose-escalating, placebo-controlled study on a genetically modified B. pertussis strain given as a single intranasal dose to healthy adult male volunteers. Effective vaccines are needed to protect young infants (from 0 to 6 months, today the most vulnerable age group), preferably after a single administration very early in life. The successful outcome of this project would constitute an important milestone towards nasal vaccination of infants, possibly at birth with a novel, single-dose pertussis vaccine. Our ultimate aim is to protect infants in the most vulnerable age group, before the regular vaccination schedule using already available vaccines is applied. The ultimate aim is thus not to replace current vaccination schedules with available vaccines, but to add a first nasal vaccination to protect very early in life.
