Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This study evaluates the immunogenicity and consistency of 3 Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine lots and the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with Pediarix® to healthy infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The study will also evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with M-M-R® II and Varivax® at 12 to 15 months of age.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a third dose of vaccines containing A/Vietnam/1203/04 provides more immunity than two doses. Subjects who participate in this study will have participated in DMID protocol 04-063 involving the A/Vietnam/1203/04. In this study, each subject will be asked to receive a third dose of the H5 vaccine at the same level administered in protocol 04-063. Subjects will be asked to record oral temperature and any experienced side effects for 7 days following the vaccine. Study procedures will include up to 3 blood sample collections. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response and safety of influenza vaccine candidate with or without adjuvant compared to Fluarix™ administered intramuscularly in elderly aged 60 years old and above.

Today, the leading contender for the next pandemic of influenza is H5N1, a strain of avian virus. Prevention and control of a pandemic will depend on the rapid production and worldwide distribution of specific pandemic vaccines. Candidate 'pandemic-like' vaccines must be developed and tested in clinical trials to determine the most optimal formulation and the best vaccination schedule.This study is designed to test in healthy adults aged between 18-60 years the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of one and two administrations of a candidate pandemic H5N1 vaccine formulated from Split Virus. The vaccines contain different antigen doses . For each dose, adjuvanted vaccine will be compared to the plain vaccine in order to detect the optimal formulation for immunization against the H5N1 influenza strain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of an adjuvanted influenza vaccine in elderly subjects.

The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-related safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of a trivalent recombinant hemagglutinin influenza vaccine in healthy adults.

Based on pre-clinical trial data and principle of GCP, the objective of phase I clinical trial is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of Pan-flu vaccine, an inactivated whole virion H5N1 vaccine with aluminium hydroxide adjuvant.

The purpose of this research study is to compare how the body reacts to different strengths of a new H5N1 flu vaccine. Researchers will also look at how antibodies are made after subjects receive the H5N1 flu vaccine. Participants will include at least 240 healthy males and females, aged 65 and older. The vaccine is given as an injection or shot in the arm. Subjects will receive 3 doses of vaccine at Day 0, Month 1 and Month 6. There are 2 different doses of the new H5N1 vaccine that will be given in this study. There is also a chance that a subject may receive a placebo (dummy) injection of saltwater instead of the flu vaccine. Study procedures will include physical exams and blood sample collections. Additionally, participants will complete a memory aid card to document daily temperatures and any symptoms experienced for a week after receiving vaccine. The length of participation in this study will be approximately 14 months.

This study will determine if an experimental avian flu (bird flu) vaccine is safe, whether it has side effects and if it can stimulate an immune response in people. The vaccine being tested in this study is made from DNA (genetic material) that codes for an influenza protein called hemagglutinin 5 (H5), which is based on the protein from the bird flu virus. The study will determine if the body creates resistance or immunity to the H5 protein. The hope is that an immune response to this protein may protect against bird flu virus infection. Healthy people between 18 and 60 years old who have been vaccinated with the current season's influenza vaccine may be eligible for this study. Participants are randomly assigned to receive injections of one of the following: 1) study vaccine at 1 mg dose, 2) study vaccine at 4 mg dose, or 3) placebo (salt-water solution). They receive three injections about 4 weeks apart in the upper arm muscle. Participants record their temperature and symptoms at home for 5 days after each injection, either on a diary card or electronically using the Internet, and report any side effects to a study physician or nurse as soon as possible. They return to NIH for clinic visits every 2 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then at week 26 and at week 42 to check for health changes or problems. Blood is drawn at all visits and urine samples are collected through week 10. If a participant develops serious side effects, the study physician may decide that he or she should not receive any further injections. However, all participants are asked to continue the follow-up visits even if they do not get the full set of three injections. ...

This is a study of the safety and immunogenicity of three commercially available influenza vaccines in children.
