Active clinical trials for "Diphtheria"

This study will evaluate the immunogenicity of the co-administration of different combinations of DTPa, IPV, hepatitis B, Hib and Men C vaccines during the first year of life.

The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans. The intervention targets patients of primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners) through a modification of the existing reminders in the VA electronic health record system. The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.

This study will assess the immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' (formerly SmithKline Beecham Biologicals') DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa™) vaccine compared to the separate administration of DTPa-HBV-IPV (Infanrix™ penta) and Hib (Hiberix™) vaccines administered at 3 and 5 months of age.

The study objective is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of DTaP-IPV combination vaccine administered as a boosting dose to healthy 4 to 6-year-old children who received three doses of primary immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio.

The purpose of this study is to collect safety information from pre-adolescents, adolescents and adults after Boostrix vaccination is administered according to the approved prescribing information in Korea.

The project goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether mobile phone short message system (SMS) reminders, either with or without mobile-phone based travel subsidies will improve timeliness, coverage, and drop-out rates of routine EPI vaccines in rural western Kenya.

Routine childhood immunization (RCI) in Pakistan is well below the recommended coverage of 90% with rates as low as 16% in certain regions (Pakistan DHS 2012-3). This has led to continued polio transmission, large measles outbreaks and thousands of deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases (Kazi.Bull WHO 2016). Mobile phone communication is widespread in developing countries and has proven a potential method of directly connecting pregnant women and mothers to health services (Kharbanda. Expert Review of Vaccine 2014). The investigators propose conducting a mixed methods proof of concept cluster randomized trial (CRT) to assess the effectiveness of different types of SMS messaging and automated calls to improve RCI and understand the perceptions and barriers that may affect SMS and automated call-based interventions at participants levels. the investigators will conduct the study at urban and rural sites in Pakistan. The investigators will examine an important public health question - do low cost, automated SMS, and automated messages improve RCI coverage in resource-constrained settings? Further, investigators will compare the effectiveness of reminder, educational and interactive text messages for improving RCI and will generate socio-cultural data regarding the impact of participants health beliefs that will be important for setting up the appropriate interventions in other LMICs.

The purpose of this study is to collect safety information following routine vaccination with Infanrix-IPV among infants and children in Korea.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the following questions through post-marketing surveillance: Unknown/Unexpected adverse events and the serious adverse events. The circumstances in which the adverse events occurred under the practical application. Factors considered to have influence on safety. Factors considered to have influence on efficacy. Miscellaneous - Facts about mechanism, efficacy and safety which were not clearly known due to the inherent problems of the drugs.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of RefortrixTM (Tdap) when administered during pregnancy in a maternal immunization program in Brazil.
