Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Parallel, Non-inferiority, Phase III Study.

Rationale and background: Since 2013, IB has been performing passive pharmacovigilance activities related to TIV. Objetive: To implement an active surveillance study as part of our pharmacovigilance plan while passive surveillance activities will continue. Pharmacovigilance data on TIV, via active surveillance, is being implemented in response to WHO requirements for pre-qualification of TIV. Study Design: This is a prospective cohort study. Population: Target groups for vaccination defined by The National Immunization Program of Brazil: children between six months and five years old; pregnant women; postpartum women (mothers until 45 days after birth); healthcare workers; and elderly (people over 60 years old). Study Size: A total of 900 individuals (300 health care workers, 300 elderly, 100 pregnant women, 100 post-partum women and 100 children between six months and five years old), presenting for immunization with IB TIV, and who agree to participate after providing Informed Consent. Data Analyses: Descriptive approaches will be used to meet the defined objectives described in the protocol, as well as formal statistical tests when appropriate.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concurrent administration of influenza vaccine in patients receiving anti-PD1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab). This will be a prospective observational study, aiming to assess patient tolerance of treatment, adverse events (incidence, grade, need for hospitalization), incidence of influenza infections, and seroconversion rates.

Influenza, a vaccine-preventable respiratory disease, is ranked 8th among the causes of death in the Canadian population. Among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the incidence of both seasonal influenza and serious influenza-related illness (IRI) are increased. Despite being a high priority group targeted for vaccination, the diagnosis of RA and other patient-specific factors (i.e. older age, treatment, current smoking) are linked to impaired vaccination responses. Thus the burden of influenza among people with RA is disproportionally high, and interventions to improve responses to influenza vaccination are urgently needed. Strategies to optimize protection in another vulnerable group, the elderly, include the use of quadrivalent vaccines, higher antigen doses, and adjuvants. A high-dose, trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-TIV) has recently been shown to have a similar safety profile to standard dose vaccine (SD-TIV) with improved immunogenicity and protection in adults ≥65 years of age. Whether or not analogous strategies to improve responses to influenza vaccine will enhance protection in people with RA is unknown. The investigators hypothesize that the use of the HD-influenza vaccine will improve vaccine-induced protection (i.e. seroconversion and seroprotection) in people with RA compared to SD-influenza vaccine. The investigators propose to conduct a stratified, randomized, modified double blind, active-controlled trial to assess immune responses to two commercial influenza vaccines containing different antigen doses in individuals with RA.

This study evaluates the statistics of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) management in outpatient sites in Russia, Armenia, Moldova and Georgia (epidemiology: disease severity and bacterial exacerbations; patients demography; treatment duration and timelines; safety; quality of treatment) in routine clinical practice with focus on drug therapy and usage of interferons' inducers.

Children whose parents receive text reminders are more likely to be consented to participate in the school located influenza vaccination clinic than children whose parents do not receive text reminders.

This study evaluates the safety of freeze-dried live attenuated influenza vaccine for intranasal administration in chinese adults aged 3 years and older.80 subjects will be divided into 2 groups, including 18 years and older and 3-17 years old. Subjects in each groups will randomly receive one dose of influenza vaccine or placebo in a 3:1 ratio.

This is an open-label, randomized trial in up to 210 adults aged 65-74 years to evaluate the immune response to consecutive influenza vaccination across 2 seasons. Participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 3 licensed and recommended vaccines in the first year; 2 arms will receive the same vaccination in the second year and the third arm will be randomized again to 1 of 3 licensed vaccines. All participants will have pre and post-vaccination serum blood draws for a total of 6 draws over 18 months.

This is an observational safety study of a prophylactic use of Flu Egg Derived Adjuvanted Swine Origin A(H1N1) Vaccine in subjects 6 months of age and older. Subjects may receive either 1 or 2 doses: children and elderly will receive 2 doses and adults will receive either 1 or 2 doses.

This observational study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness following administration of adjuvanted Swine Origin A (H1N1) Pandemic Subunit Egg Derived Vaccine through both an ad hoc active monitoring system and a passive surveillance of hospitalization in a large cohort.
