Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The aim of this study is to evaluate the immune response and safety of both GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA's (GSK's) herpes zoster (HZ) subunit (su) vaccine in healthy adults 50 years of age (YOA) and older and quadrivalent seasonal influenza (Flu D-QIV) vaccine in healthy adults 18 YOA and older, when administered sequentially or co-administered with Moderna's mRNA-1273 booster vaccination against COVID-19.

To describe the immune response induced by quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4) and Quadrivalent-inactivated Influenza Vaccine (IIV4) in 18-49 and greater than or equal to (>=) 50 years of age participants by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) measurement method. To describe the safety profile of all participants in RIV4 and IIV4 groups.

Study of the Reactogenicity, Safety and Immunogenicity of Flu-M Inactivated Split Influenza Vaccine in Volunteers Aged 18-60 Years

The main purpose of this Phase II study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a dose of Fluzone High-Dose (HD) Quadrivalent vaccine and a third dose or booster dose of Moderna coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccine administered concomitantly or singly in adults 65 years of age and older having received their second dose of the 2-dose schedule of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least 5 months before enrollment in the study.

The study team previously demonstrated that patients are more likely to receive flu vaccine after learning that they are at high risk for flu complications. Building on this past work, the present study will explore whether providing reasons that patients are considered high risk for flu complications (a) further increases the likelihood they will receive flu vaccine and (b) decreases the likelihood that they receive diagnoses of flu and/or flu-like symptoms in the ensuing flu season. It will also examine whether informing patients that their high-risk status was determined by analyzing their medical records or by an artificial intelligence (AI) / machine-learning (ML) algorithm analyzing their medical records will affect the likelihood of receiving the flu vaccine or diagnoses of flu and/or flu-like symptoms.

In this single-center, randomized, blinded, positive-controlled design, the investigators will assess the safety and immunogenicity of 2 doses of an inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine in children aged 6 to 35 months. About 120 healthy participants are planned to be enrolled, of who 60 participants were enrolled in the low-dose group and 60 participants were enrolled in the high-dose group. In the low-dose group, participants were randomly (2:1:1) assigned to receive a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) at 0.25 mL including A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata, and a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) at 0.25 mL including A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria, and IIV3 at 0.25 mL including A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Yamagata. In the high-dose group, participants were randomly (2:1:1) assigned to receive IIV4 at 0.5 mL, and IIV3 at 0.25 mL including A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Victoria, and IV3 at 0.25 mL including A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B/Yamagata. Subjects receive 2 doses of influenza vaccine 4 weeks apart. The occurrence of adverse reactions within 30 minutes, the occurrence of adverse reactions within 28 days, and serious adverse events within 6 months after vaccination will be observed in all participants. For participants aged 24-35 months in each dose group, laboratory safety tests were measured before enrollment and on day 4 post each dose to assess any toxic effects. In addition, all subjects will be required to collect blood for HI antibody testing before the first dose of vaccination and 30 days after the second dose of vaccination.

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase I clinical study of the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenic activity of the universal influenza vector vaccine "UniFluVec" at two dose levels after two intranasal administrations in healthy adults. The volunteers randomized to the study group received intranasally 0.5 ml of the vaccine (0.25 ml in each nostril) as nasal aerosol stray twice with an interval of 3 weeks. The vaccine of the first dose level contained 6.7 log EID50/0.5 ml (50% egg infective dose) of attenuated recombinant influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus; vaccine of the second dose level contained 7.7 log EID50/0.5 ml of attenuated recombinant influenza A/H1N1pdm09 virus. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and reactogenicity profile of vaccine "UniFluVec" based on the frequency and severity of adverse events. The secondary objective of the study was to assess the immunogenicity.

Influenza is a seasonally-epidemic viral infection causing 3-5 million severe illnesses and up to approximately 500,000 annual deaths around the world. Influenza-like illnesses (ILI) is a simple constellation of symptoms and signs that was introduced to capture influenza cases in surveillance system. The elderly are more susceptible to cancers and viral infections including influenza infection and complications that was attributed to the phenomenon of immunosenescence or age-associated decline of immune system activity. Biobran/MGN3 is a natural nutritional supplement that was shown to exhibit potent immunomodulator effect such as enhancement of natural killer cell (NKC) activity and up-regulating the production of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and -lambda (IFN-λ). The protective effect of Biobran/MGN-3 against viral infection such hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as well as several cancer types has been previously reported in experimental animal models and humans. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of Biobran/MGN-3 on some innate immune system components and the incidence of ILI in the older adult population. The studied innate immune system included NKC activity and the expressions of intracellular viral nucleic acid sensors such as retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-1), melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) and some of their downstream signals such as ISG15 and MX1.

Subjects will be recruited and divided into 3 groups: Experimental Group (408 subjects): combined immunization of PPV23 and IIV4; Control Group A (408 subjects): IIV4 only; Control Group B (408 subjects): PPV23 only; All blood samples will be collected before and one month after vaccinatioin. The immunogenicity and safety of both experimental and control groups will be compared and the data be analyzed.

This is a prospective, Open label randomized study. A total of 220 adults aged ≥ 60 years will be enrolled and randomized to one of 2 study arms: Seasonal inactivated intradermal influenza vaccine (15 μg HA (hemagglutinin) per strain/ 0.1 ml dose) (group A - 110 participants) Seasonal inactivated intramuscular influenza vaccine (15 μg HA per strain/ 0.5 ml dose) (group B - 110 participants) Groups A and B will receive the vaccine at day 1. Total follow up period is 60 days.
