Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The spread of Influenza H1N1 has prompted the development of vaccines against this virus. Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk of developing complications of Influenza H1N1. The efficacy and safety of H1N1 vaccination have not been evaluated in this population of patients.

Following the sudden and unexpected emergence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (2009 H1N1) virus, this observational study was initiated to describe participants seeking medical care in geographically diverse locations with 2009 H1N1 infection and their clinical course over a 14-day period following enrollment. In 2011, as surveillance indicated that 2009 H1N1 virus was co-circulating with other seasonal influenza A and B viruses worldwide, the protocol was expanded to include other influenza A subtypes and influenza B viruses. This version of the protocol further broadens the scope of this observational study. With the recognition that novel respiratory viruses other than novel influenza A viruses, e.g., Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), could become prevalent and of major public health importance, the objectives of this protocol have been expanded

Using desk location information and employees' building entry/exit swipe card data from a company that offered a free 2-day worksite influenza vaccination clinic, we separately identify the vaccination effects of base proximity-the inverse of walking distance between one's desk and the clinic-and functional proximity-the likelihood of passing near the clinic during the course of a normal work day (ie, days when the clinic is not open).

The study will be held in the winter of 2005-2007. The aim is to assess the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine in health care workers (HCW).

The body's immune system (fights infection) is known to decline during the aging process, resulting in an increased risk of catching infections. Vaccinations also are not as effective in protecting older people against infection as they are in younger people. The purpose of this study is to better understand how and why vaccines are not as effective in older people. The researchers believe that the immune response in older people who get a higher dose vaccine will be similar to the immune response in young adults who get the standard (lower) dose vaccine. This study is a substudy to a main study, evaluating flu vaccines in people 65 years and older. Volunteers who are in the main study will be asked if they will participate in the substudy. The substudy requires them to give 2 additional blood samples for an in-depth look at their immune response to the flu vaccine given in the main study. Substudy volunteers will have up to 3 clinic visits and participate up to 28 weeks.

This is a single center phase I, double-blind placebo-controlled study to assess reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of a live monovalent A/17/Hong Kong/2017/75108 (H7N9) influenza vaccine in healthy male and female adults, 18 through 49 years of age.

This is a phase 1 open-label pharmacodynamics study in healthy adults. The purpose of the study is to determine if the tablet formulation size of VXA-A1.1, an adjuvanted adenoviral based influenza vaccine, has an impact on delivery location. The secondary objective is to evaluate delivery with fasting versus fed status.

Rationale and Background: Since 2013, Butantan Institute has been performing passive pharmacovigilance activities related to its triavalent, fragmented and inactivated vaccine (IB TIV). Objetive: To conduct an active surveillance study focusing on the elderly and health care professionals as part of Butantan pharmacovigilance plan, while passive surveillance activities will continue. The pharmacovigilance plan, via active surveillance, is being implemented in response to WHO requirements for pre-qualification of IB TIV.

The purpose of this study is provide a better understanding of the adaptive immune response to the licensed influenza vaccines in children.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the body's immune response at different time points to an FDA-approved seasonal influenza vaccine. By better understanding the way the immune system responds to the influenza vaccine, the investigators can design more effective vaccines against influenza.
