Active clinical trials for "Fever"

Anticholinergic drugs have traditionally been used for their antisialagogue properties. But use of anticholinergic drugs can interfere with thermoregulation via inhibition of the parasympathetically mediated sweat secretion. Sweating inhibition can reduce heat elimination, and children's thermoregulation depend more on sweating than adults and they can become hyperthermic when given these agents. The investigators evaluated the fever-causing effects of adjunctive anticholinergics in children under general anesthesia using ketamine.

This study is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic-Yellow Fever (MVA-BN-YF) in Flavivirus-naive healthy male and non-pregnant female adult subjects. There are six dose groups in this study. Subjects who have never received a licensed or investigational smallpox vaccine will be randomized to Groups 1-5 and vaccine administration and follow-up will be conducted in a double-blinded fashion. Subjects who have previously received two, 1 x 10^8 TCID50 doses of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) between 19 and 45 days apart by s ubcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) routes will be enrolled in Group 6 and will be dosed open-label. Since this is a first in human, phase I study, a sentinel cohort will be utilized. The first two subjects (1st sentinel group) one at each clinical site will be randomized to Group 2 or 3 and vaccinated with MVA-BN-YF with or without Montanide ISA 720 adjuvant (ISA 720). Subjects and study personnel will be blinded as to whether ISA 720 was administered. The primary objectives are the: 1) assessment of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720; 2) comparison of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720 with Yellow Fever Vaccine (YF-VAX) and MVA-BN.

The aim of the study was to assess and describe the booster effect of a tetravalent CYD dengue vaccine dose administered about 5 years or more after the completion of a 3-dose vaccination schedule in Singapore. Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of geometric mean of titer ratios (GMTRs) of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD28 trial (participants from Group 1 only). Secondary Objectives: If the primary objective of non-inferiority achieved: To demonstrate the superiority, in terms of GMTRs, of a CYD dengue vaccine booster compared to the third CYD dengue vaccine injection in participants from CYD28 trial (participants from Group 1 only). To describe the immune responses elicited by the CYD dengue vaccine booster or placebo injection in participants who received three doses of the CYD dengue vaccine in the CYD28 trial in all participants. To describe the neutralizing antibody levels of each dengue serotype Post Dose 3 (CYD28 participants) and immediately prior to booster or placebo injection in all participants. To describe the neutralizing antibody persistence 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post booster or placebo injection in all study participants. To evaluate the safety of booster vaccination with CYD dengue vaccine in all participants.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the Dengue vaccine in a population of special interest, such as HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Primary Objective: To describe the safety of each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Secondary Objectives: To describe the humoral immune response to each dengue serotype at baseline and after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. To detect the CYD dengue vaccinal viremia post-Inj 1 in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. To describe changes in CD4 count and HIV RNA viral load after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in HIV-positive adults previously exposed to dengue. Observational Objective: To describe the FV (YF, Dengue, Zika) serological status in the study population at baseline.

Using an established model of human typhoid infection, whereby healthy adults are deliberately infected with typhoid-causing bacteria, the investigators will determine how effective a new oral typhoid vaccine (M01ZH09) is in preventing infection. A previously licensed oral typhoid vaccine (Ty21a) will be used to make sure the challenge model used works properly.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether short-course antibiotic therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.

Primary Objectives: To evaluate safety after each CYD Dengue vaccination in terms of injection site and systemic reactogenicity. To evaluate the occurrence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) throughout the trial period. To evaluate the humoral immune response to each CYD Dengue serotype after each vaccination in a subset of participants. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the persistence of the humoral immune response during 4 years after the last vaccination in a subset of participants.

Primary objectives: To describe the immune response to each dengue serotype before and after each vaccination with sanofi pasteur's CYD dengue vaccine. To evaluate the safety of each vaccination with sanofi pasteur's CYD dengue vaccine.

This is a treatment protocol using IND Ribavirin-there is no control group. Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is caused by a virus acquired by contact with chronically infected rodent hosts. HFRS is present throughout Europe and caused mainly by Puumala and Dobrava viruses. Treatment consists mainly of supportive care with careful attention to control of blood pressure and fluid balance and/or dialysis. Early initiation of IND Intravenous Ribavirin has been shown to be an effective treatment for HFRS and may prevent the need for dialysis. It is important to initiate therapy based on a diagnosis consistent with HFRS (determination if the disease is caused by Puumala or Dobrava virus is helpful) and a history that makes exposure likely. This study will monitor the clinical events that occur with HFRS as well as the safety and efficacy of Ribavirin.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different formulations of an investigational dengue vaccine (T-DEN) against a placebo vaccine when two doses are given six months apart to adults and children.
