Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

Background: Influenza (flu) is a virus that infects people of all ages. Some people may have mild flu symptoms. Others may get very sick and even die from the flu. Flu vaccines help protect people against the flu, but if the flu strains in the vaccine are not a good match with the strains circulating in the community, the vaccine is not as effective. Researchers want to make flu vaccines that protect against changing flu strains. Objective: To test if a new flu vaccine is safe and if it creates an immune response. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-55 who do not smoke and have not received a flu vaccine in the 8 weeks prior or a COVID-19 vaccine in the 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Design: Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. Participants will have 9 visits over 7 months. They will get a combination of study vaccine and/or placebo, both as a shot in the arm and as a spray into the nose, at 2 visits. For 7 days after getting the vaccines, they will take their temperature and complete online surveys at home to record any symptoms. At each visit, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have nasal testing. For this, a thin absorptive strip will be inserted into their nostril for 1 minute to collect mucus. At some visits, the inside of their nose will be wiped with a small brush to collect cells. For this, their nostril will be numbed to make it more comfortable. Some blood and nasal samples will be used for genetic testing. Participants who get flu-like symptoms during the study will be asked to collect nasal samples at home and send these samples back to NIH to test if they actually have the flu.

A total of 18,000 eligible subjects (or 6,000 subject distributed evenly between the 3 study arms) will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will be randomized in 1:1:1 (cell-culture-based vaccine, the recombinant vaccine, or the egg-based vaccine) over four influenza seasons (2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022).

Better understanding of the immune responses to influenza vaccination is needed in order to understand situations of poor vaccine response. Adults will receive influenza vaccination and then have peripheral blood drawn at pre-defined intervals in order to study the lymphocyte responses.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a single oral dose of ZX-7101A on the QTc interval in healthy subjects.

Given the high burden of fungal co-infection in patients admitted to ICU and improved outcomes with prompt anti-fungal treatment, it is of vital importance that the doses of anti-fungal are optimum to improve the dismal outcome of influenza/Covid-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis. Due to the reported difficulties in dosing appropriately in ECMO patients, a prospective observational study is required to accurately evaluate the pharmacokinetics of voriconazole in patients supported on ECMO. This is to ensure that the dose of voriconazole is optimised to improve efficacy and reduce toxicity.

The goal of this Phase 1, single- center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of UFluA vaccine candidate at two dose levels and two schedules in healthy adult (18-45-year-old, inclusive) male and non-pregnant female subjects.

The main goal of this study is to compare the Haemophilus influenzae type b antibody response in American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants to two licensed vaccines: Vaxelis and PedvaxHIB.

The present study OVX836-006 aims principally to: Confirm feasibility of the concomitant administration of the vaccines under normal clinical conditions, i.e. as two separate concomitant injections into opposite arms; Introduce an additional representative brand of Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines ; Demonstrate the absence of interaction between OVX836 and Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines on the Hemagglutinin response; Demonstrate the absence of interaction between OVX836 and Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines on the nucleoprotein response; Evaluate the absolute vaccine efficacy of OVX836 compared to placebo in order to corroborate the efficacy signals previously detected in the OVX836 previous studies; Evaluate the combined vaccine efficacy of OVX836 + Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccines versus OVX836 + placebo, and versus double placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of up to 3 dose levels of Quadrivalent Influenza mRNA Vaccine MRT5410 compared to an active control (QIV SD, QIV HD [adults ≥ 65 years of age only], or RIV4) in adults 18 years of age and older.

The primary objective of EMIT-2 is to use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to implement interventions which are known to reduce inhalation (airborne) transmission, so that the contribution of transmission by route of aerosols for influenza may be identified.
