Active clinical trials for "Severe Dengue"

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) are among the leading causes of pediatric hospitalization in Asia.Mortality rates range from 1% at centres experienced in fluid resuscitation, to upto 44% in established shock.The mainstay of DSS treatment is prompt, vigorous fluid resuscitation with isotonic crystalloid solutions, followed by plasma or colloid solutions for profound or continuing shock. However, this administration is often associated with fluid overload and induces edema in these patients. Hence, we planned a parallel, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of solution containing half molar sodium lactate (Totilac™) with standard treatment(isotonic crystalloid Ringer's Lactate) in pediatric Dengue Shock Syndrome patients, using plasma soluble Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule(sVCAM-1) levels as an indicator. Hypertonic solutions restore hemodynamic status rapidly with increased cardiac performance and improved tissue perfusion. This is obtained with much smaller volumes.We plan to assess the efficacy and safety of hypertonic sodium lactate in resuscitation of DHF/DSS patients.

This is an observational study that aims to determine the effectiveness of a tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) when given through a community-based immunization program against hospitalized and /or severe virologically confirmed dengue.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a passive surveillance of hospitalized dengue cases in participants who participated in study CYD23 (NCT00842530). The Objectives: To describe the incidence of virologically-confirmed hospitalized dengue cases. To characterize hospitalized dengue cases. To evaluate the occurrence of related and fatal serious adverse events (SAEs).

Primary objectives: To assess how dengue vaccine efficacy varies across participant subgroups regarding polymorphism in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles of interest. To assess the association between HLA alleles and, serotype-specific neutralization antibody titers and summary neutralization measure in the vaccine and placebo groups. To assess the association between the polymorphism in HLA alleles of interest and susceptibility to Dengue fever and Dengue Haemorrhagic fever. Secondary objectives: To assess whether dengue serotype-specific neutralizing antibody titers and associated summary neutralization measure at 28 days post-dose 3 are related to the rate of occurrence of symptomatic Virologically-confirmed dengue infection after post-dose 3 To evaluate whether the dengue serotype-specific neutralizing antibody and associated summary neutralization measure at 28 days post-dose 3 are related to the level of vaccine efficacy against dengue viruses after post-dose 3.

World Health Organisation (WHO) has identified Dengue as the fastest spreading mosquito-borne disease in the world. This study follows on from the National Medical Research Council STOP Dengue Translational and Clinical Research flagship grant. Differential serum concentrations of alpha2-macroglobulin (A2M), chymase (CMA1) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) were discovered to accurately identify dengue patients who will develop severe disease from those who will not, prior to the development of severe complications. By identifying patients at risk of developing severe disease in advance, these patients can be monitored more closely to provide more timely fluid interventions, and hopefully further reduce fatality rate. At the same time, more patients who are not at risk can be managed as outpatients to further minimize unnecessary hospitalization costs and wastage of healthcare resources. After discovery of the Dengue prognostic biomarkers, a multivariate logistic regression predictive model was built from a small retrospective derivative cohort (50 subjects), followed by validation using a small prospective validation cohort (50 subjects). The model had a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve AUC (area under the curve) of 0.944, and a sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 91% during validation, respectively. The premise of this study is to validate our observations in a larger prospective cohort (200 subjects). At the same time, we would like to better understand the characteristics of the Dengue prognostic biomarkers, especially whether there are situations in which the biomarkers cannot predict Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF)/ Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) and/or Severe Dengue (SD) and how the biomarkers can further improve the cost-effectiveness of the clinical management of Dengue patients.

A study of dengue in children presenting to outpatient departments of 5 large hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and Tien Giang province, Viet Nam. Different blood tests are compared at the early stages of dengue fever onset in their ability to accurately and specifically detect children whose dengue will progress to severe disease.

This is a descriptive prospective community-based seroprevalence study. Primary objective: To determine the prevalence of specific antibodies (immunoglobulin G [IgG]) against dengue in healthy 5 to 10 year-old children in India. Secondary objectives: To determine the dengue virus serotype (DeNV-1,2,3 and /or 4) specific to the antibodies in positive (IgG) samples To estimate the prevalence of specific antibodies (IgG) against Japanese encephalitis in healthy 5 to 10 year-old children in India.
