Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This is a Phase 1,2 randomized, double-blind, multi-center, clinical trial, in participants aged 65 years and older, evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of a water-in-oil emulsion adjuvant (MAS-1 adjuvant, Mercia Pharma, Inc, Scarsdale, NY) combined with each of the three reduced HA antigen dose levels of trivalent influenza virus vaccine compared with licensed, unadjuvanted, standard dose trivalent virus (TIV). Immunogenicity for each of the three viral strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B virus) in the concurrent influenza seasonal vaccine will be assessed.

Influenza (flu) viruses change continuously, therefore also the parts of viruses used in influenza vaccines can vary from year to year. In Europe, manufacturers/marketing holders of these vaccines are required to be involved in ongoing clinical trials and to present the results to the competent authorities each year. The current study is a phase IIIa clinical trial with a commercially available virosomal vaccine (Invivac®) supplied in pre filled syringes. It is part of the ongoing clinical trial program for Invivac® and will be done to assess the immunogenicity and safety and tolerability of next season's trivalent influenza virosomal vaccine in two groups of healthy subjects: subjects aged >= 18 and <= 60 years and subjects >= 61 years of age (elderly).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability, of the Pharma-Pen(TM) intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SC) auto-injector systems used by untrained users to self-administer Influenza vaccines as compared to standard IM injections administered by a licensed healthcare professional (e.g. a nurse). Participants will be 120 healthy men and women aged 18 - 50 years who have not received influenza vaccine for at least four years and who have no experience in giving intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. Subjects will be randomly placed in one of three treatment types. They will receive one injection of commercially available Influenza vaccine and will be evaluated over the course of six months.

Respiratory viruses including influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are among the most important causes of severe disease globally, infecting everyone repeatedly throughout life. Understanding of how to prevent infection is incomplete but boosting immunity with vaccines remains the best strategy. T cells have been shown in animals to be essential for clearing respiratory viral infection and are likely to be helpful if stimulated by vaccines. However, where these cells originate from and how they develop in the human lung are still unclear. The investigators will inoculate volunteers with influenza or RSV to examine the relationship between T cells in their blood and lungs and the outcome of infection. By tracking these specialised cells, the investigators aim to develop a better understanding of how they are generated in order to harness them with future vaccines.

This prospective randomized controlled trial studies the efficacy and safety of treating influenza with the reconciling exterior and interior therapy. A total of 300 cases of seasonal flu in Beijing is to be collected, and divided into one treatment group and two control groups. Patients in the treatment group will receive Liugan Shuangjie Heji, while patients in control groups will receive Shufeng Jiedu Capsule and Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsule respectively, for a course of 5 days. The study assesses the efficacy and safety of treating influenza with the reconciling therapy based on the following outcome measures: the time it takes from the medicine intake to 0.5℃ drop of body temperature, and the time it takes for the body temperature to return to normal.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open Label, add-on study.

This is a Phase IIb study consisting of two cohorts to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of DAS181 in IFV infection. An approximate total of 280 subjects will be enrolled into this study.

The primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of aCoV2 versus a placebo to prevent the first occurrence of virologically-confirmed symptomatic COVID 19 according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) COVID 19 case definition. The co-primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of aCoV2 versus a placebo to prevent virologically confirmed symptomatic COVID 19 defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the immunogenicity and safety of 3 doses of GSK's avian flu vaccine GSK 1557484A given at different time intervals to adults aged 18 years or greater who are at increased occupational risk of H5N1 exposure.

In agreement with the World Organization of the Health (WHO), during the annual epidemics of influenza they become infected between 10-20 % of the total population, appearing from a feverish disease up to leading to the hospitalization and in some cases to the death. To unpredictable intervals and due to the nature of the virus, this one can acquire new genes of others virus of the influenza that they concern birds or porks, of it it turns out to be a new virus with a completely new subtype of IT (HE,SHE) HAS and NA, and if this one is transmitted efficiently of person-to-person can cause a pandemic. This phenomenon has been the one that has given place to the appearance of a new causative virus of the outbreak of influenza humanizes in Mexico (A/México/2009 (H1N1)), and in agreement to official Mexican numbers(figures), until August 13 there have been brought(reported) a whole of 18,861 cases and 163 deaths. The measure of the most effective control against the influenza constitutes it the vaccine, by what study becomes imperative to possess (to rely on) a vaccine against the new virus To (H1N1) East is relevant, due to the level of response of alert to a level 6 (pandemic) that has passed the World Organization of the Health (WHO).
