Active clinical trials for "Streptococcal Infections"

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of two formulations of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal vaccine (2830929A and 2830930A) administered as 3-dose primary vaccination during the first 6 months of life followed by a booster dose in the second year of life. To comply with the routine infant immunisation program, the licensed GSK Biologicals DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (Infanrix hexa) vaccine will be co-administered in infants with the pneumococcal study vaccines.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a Group B Streptococcus vaccine at one dose in healthy non pregnant women and then in three different doses in healthy pregnant women.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a varnish containing 15% of green propolis on Streptococcus mutans in saliva and biofilm. Will be invited to join the study: children 8-10 years old, free of caries, without orthodontic appliances and without having undergone antibiotic therapy until three weeks before the start of the study. Saliva will be collected before, immediately after, 24 hours and 30 days after application of the varnish. The collection of biofilm will be performed before, after, 24 hours and 30 days after application of the varnish. Data will be collected and compared between periods.

The study compared the magnitude of the antibody response and safety of a GBS Trivalent Vaccine in HIV positive and HIV negative pregnant women and their offspring. In addition the study investigated the maternal to fetal transfer of antibodies induced by the investigational vaccine.

IGHN2 is an international, multicenter, double blind, randomized controlled trial aimed at assessing the efficacy on organ dysfunctions of Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) treatment in the acute phase of streptococcal or staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome in children.

This is the Phase 1/2 first-in-human, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded study evaluating the investigational multivalent group B streptococcus vaccine. Healthy adults aged 18 to 49 years of age with no history of group B streptococcal vaccination will be randomized to receive either a single intramuscular dose of multivalent group B streptococcus vaccine (various formulations at 3 dose levels) or a placebo (saline control).

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine GSK1024850A when administered either as a booster dose or as a two dose catch-up vaccination in the second year of life to the Malian subjects previously enrolled in the primary vaccination study NCT00678301. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00678301).

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A), administered according to different vaccination schedules, against invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae or H. influenzae as well as vaccine impact on the occurrence of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia cases, tympanostomy tube placement and outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions. This study will also explore vaccine impact on occurrence of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), including acute otitis media (AOM) in a subset of children in Turku area.

The purposes of this study: To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A in HIV infected infants, HIV exposed uninfected infants and HIV unexposed uninfected infants following a 3-dose primary vaccination at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age and following booster vaccination at 9-10 months of age. To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A in HIV unexposed uninfected infants receiving either a 3-dose primary vaccination according to the EPI vaccination schedule at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age with or without booster vaccination at 9-10 months of age or a 2-dose primary vaccination at 6 and 14 weeks of age followed by booster vaccination at 9-10 months of age. This study also aims to assess the impact of the pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A on nasopharyngeal carriage of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae up to 24 months of age in all study participants.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A administered either at 9-18 months or 15-18 months of age in children primed in primary study NCT00814710. This study also aims to assess the persistence of antibodies induced following primary vaccination with pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A in primary study NCT00814710 prior to booster vaccination and following vaccination in the present study at approximately 24 months of age. The study is also designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine GSK1024850A when administered as a catch-up vaccination (2+1) in the second year of life in children unprimed with vaccine GSK1024850A in study NCT00814710.
