Active clinical trials for "Diphtheria"

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 the safety, tolerability, and immune response of an investigational vaccine being evaluated to reduce the incidence of diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis, and Haemophilus influenza type b.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of DTPw-HBV/Hib-MenAC compared to DTPw-HBV/Hib given to healthy subjects at 15 to 24 months of age primed with 3 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC in study 100480. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 24 to 30 months. Immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a dose of Mencevax ACWY given at 24 to 30 months will also be evaluated when given to subjects not boosted with a MenA conjugate and/or MenC containing vaccine.

This is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and effect on infant immune responses of a single dose of Tetanus diphtheria acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant women in Mali. 200 healthy pregnant women, ages 18 through 39 years, inclusive, who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Tdap (BOOSTRIX) or Tetanus diphtheria toxoid (Td) at 14 0/7 weeks through 26 6/7 weeks estimated Gestational Age (GA). For the fetuses of pregnant subjects, GA will be established by ultrasound, whenever possible, in combination with date of last menstrual period (LMP), when available, and fundal height. Study duration is 21 months: approximately 2 months in the start-up period, 6 months enrolling subjects, and 13 months (3-7 months while pregnant and 6 months postpartum) from last subject vaccinated until she and her infant complete follow-up. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the safety and tolerability of a single 0.5 mL intramuscular injection of BOOSTRIX in pregnant women; 2) to assess the safety of a single maternal BOOSTRIX vaccination on the fetus and infant; 3) to assess the level of Pertussis Toxin (PT) antibody at birth among infants whose mothers received a single dose of BOOSTRIX or Td while pregnant.

Pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus are seriously infectious diseases in children. Since using of the adsorption diphtheria-tetanus-whole-cell pertussis (DTwP), it greatly reduced incidence of the three kinds of diseases. But the thallus of pertussis in the vaccine may cause more side reactions after vaccination. Since 2000, the basic immunization DTwP vaccine has been replaced by adsorption tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine in American. In 1995, DTaP was successfully developed in China, and have been used in EPI at present. Because of effective immunity and little side reaction, DTaP has been widely recognized and accepted by the parents.

This study aims to assess and confirm the adequate immunogenicity and safety profile of the Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-Hep B-IPV-PRP-T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine administered in HIV-exposed uninfected infants and in HIV-exposed infected infants. The primary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine 1 month after the 3-dose primary series in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. To describe the persistence of all antibodies before receipt of the booster dose in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine 1 month after the booster dose in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. The secondary objectives of the study are: To describe the safety profile after each and all doses of the study vaccine administered as a 3-dose infant primary series in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants. To describe the safety profile of the study vaccine administered as a booster in HIV-exposed infected and in HIV-exposed uninfected infants.

This is a single-center, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, open-label, phase I study to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of single injection of LBVD or Eupenta co-administered with Imovax Polio in healthy adults.

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.

This is a follow-up of the primary series vaccination schedule in Study A3L24 (NCT01177722) and booster vaccination in Study A3L27 (NCT01444781). Study Objective: To describe the long-term antibody persistence at 3.5 and 4.5 years of age following a 3-dose primary series vaccination of either DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T+Prevenar™ (PCV7) +Rotarix™ or Infanrix hexa™+Prevenar™ (PCV7) +Rotarix™ vaccination at 2, 4, 6 months of age and a booster vaccination of DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T+Prevenar™ (PCV7) or Infanrix hexa™+Prevenar™ (PCV7) at 12 to 24 months of age. Observational Objectives: To describe the long-term antibody persistence by group and by stratification on the age at inclusion of the A3L27 booster study. To describe the effect of one additional oral dose of stand alone poliovirus isotypes 1, 2 and 3 vaccine* on the antibody persistence immune response for poliovirus isotypes (4 vs 5 doses of poliovirus administered).
