Active clinical trials for "Chickenpox"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a live attenuated varicella vaccine in healthy adults, adolescents, and children.

This is an ancillary study to a randomized controlled trial of high dose vitamin D in older long-term care residents (NCT01102374). In this study, a subset of trial subjects will receive the zoster vaccine and the investigators will determine the immunological response to the vaccine in this older, frail population, as well as the association between vitamin D and immunological outcomes.

The aim of the study is to investigate the memory immune response and the yearly persistence of the immunity against Japanese Encephalitis (JE) after vaccination with Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) in participants previously vaccinated with JE-CV vaccine. Objectives: To describe JE immune status before and after JE-CV vaccination in subjects previously vaccinated with JE-CV vaccine To describe the immune status before and after JE-CV vaccination in JE-naïve control subjects. To describe the safety (in terms of solicited and unsolicited adverse events) of a single dose of JE-CV vaccine up to 6 months after the last vaccination. To describe all related serious adverse events (SAEs) and related deaths from 6 months to 5 years after vaccination in JE-CV-primed subjects.

An open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of inactivated VZV vaccine (V212) in participants with hematologic malignancies (HM) who are currently receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. The primary hypothesis is that vaccination with V212 vaccine will elicit significant VZV-specific immune responses at ~28 days after vaccination 4. The statistical criterion for significance requires that the lower bound of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval of the geometric mean fold rise in immune response in V212 recipients is >1.0.

This is a study to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSK Biologicals 2-dose inactivated hepatitis A vaccine when administered with a measles/mumps/rubella vaccine and a varicella (chickenpox) vaccine in children as young as 15 months of age. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

This study is undertaken to generate clinical data on GSK Biologicals' combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with measles and rubella obtained from newly established working seed viruses which are one passage further than the current working seed viruses. The measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine manufactured with the current working seed viruses will serve as comparator. A seed lot system is a system according to which successive batches of a vaccine are derived from the same master seed virus. For routine production, a working seed lot is prepared from the master seed virus.

This Phase 3b study is being conducted for the purpose of registration of the GSK208136 vaccine in Korea.

The objective of the present study is to assess and document the safety of a second dose of Varicella Biken vaccine administered at 4 to 6 years of age in healthy children having previously received a first dose of Varicella Biken vaccine. All subjects will receive a second dose of Varicella vaccine (Varicella Biken) at 4 to 6 years of age. The expected total duration of follow-up (first visit to last visit) for each subject will be one month.

The aim of this study is to evaluate a modified formulation of GSK Biologicals' live attenuated varicella vaccine. In vivo pre-clinical data show this change has no negative impact on vaccine safety. This present study is undertaken to rule out any negative impact on the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' live attenuated varicella virus vaccine.

Since measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccinations are established as routine childhood practice and often co-administered during the second year of life, a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MeMuRu-OKA) vaccine is fully justified. Such a combined vaccine was developed and extensively studied in susceptible children. In countries where varicella mass-vaccination is already implemented, a transition period is necessary as children who started with separate first-dose vaccinations of MMR and varicella will receive a single shot of the combined vaccine as the second dose. To account for those situations, this study will evaluate the effect of the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine given in place of separate MMR and varicella vaccines as a second dose.
