Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The purpose of this Phase 1/2 study is to generate sufficient safety and immunogenicity data of mRNA-1018 pandemic influenza candidate vaccines in healthy adults ≥18 years of age to enable the initiation of a large Phase 3 trial with one selected vaccine candidate. The study will be conducted in 2 Parts (Part A and Part B) that will enroll and run concurrently. Part A of the study will evaluate 4 vaccine candidates (H5N8, H7N9, H5 only, and H7 only). Part B of the study will evaluate a single vaccine candidate (H5 only-CG).

Background: Influenza (flu) virus causes 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 650,000 deaths per year worldwide. Current vaccines work well against single strains of flu virus. But no single vaccine works well against all flu viruses that can cause illness. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine (FluMos-v2) in healthy adults. Eligibility: Healthy adults aged 18 to 50 years. Design: Participants will have 11 clinic visits in 10 months. They must agree not to get a licensed flu vaccine while taking part in this study. FluMos-v2 will be given with a needle injected into a muscle in the upper arm. Participants will receive a follow-up phone call the following day. Participants will be given a diary card, a ruler, and a thermometer. They will take their temperature every day for 7 days after receiving the shot. They will measure any skin changes at the injection site. They will record their findings and how they feel. Participants will receive a second FluMos-v2 shot after 4 months. They will repeat the other follow-up steps. Participants will have 9 other clinic visits. Blood will be drawn at each visit. Participants should also come to the clinic if they develop flu-like symptoms during the study. Participants may opt for an apheresis 2 weeks after each shot: Blood will be removed through a needle in the vein of 1 arm. The blood will run through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood is returned through a needle in the other arm....

Background: In Bangladesh, seasonal influenza imposes considerable health and economic burden, particularly for those at high risk of severe disease. To prevent influenza and lessen the economic burden, despite the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendation of seasonal influenza vaccination prioritizing high-risk groups, many low-income countries, including Bangladesh, lack a national policy/programme and relevant statistics on seasonal influenza vaccination. Objectives: To determine influenza vaccine acceptability, health beliefs, barriers, and intention of receiving influenza vaccine among targeted high-risk populations To determine the cost-effectiveness of a seasonal influenza vaccination targeting high-risk populations during visits to health facilities for routine care To investigate the required capacity for a potential seasonal influenza vaccination programme targeting high-risk populations during their visits to health facilities for routine care Methods: The study will be conducted in three hospitals' inpatient and outpatient departments with ongoing hospital-based influenza surveillance (HBIS). To meet objective 1, the investigators will collect quantitative data on participants' acceptability, health beliefs, barriers, and vaccination intentions using the health belief model (HBM) from patients meeting criteria for high-risk populations attending two public tertiary-level hospitals. To meet objective 2, in one of the two hospitals, the investigators will run an influenza vaccination campaign before the influenza season (the vaccines will be in the southern hemisphere), where the vaccine will be offered free of cost to high-risk patients, and in the second hospital, vaccination will not be offered. Both the vaccinated and unvaccinated participants will then be followed-up for one year period once a month to record any influenza-like illness, hospitalization, and death. Additional data for objective two on direct and indirect costs associated with influenza illness will be collected from patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) at one public and one private hospital. To meet objective 3, the investigators will estimate the required number of influenza vaccines, safe injections, and total storage volume utilizing secondary data. The investigators will use a deterministic Markov decision-analytic model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of facility-based vaccination in Bangladesh.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferior HAI immune response of quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4) vs licensed Egg-Based Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (IIV4) for the 4 strains based on the egg-derived antigen in all participants aged 3 to 8 years and to describe the immunogenicity and safety profile of RIV4 compared to IIV4 in participants aged 3 to 8 years.

Lung allograft recipients have a higher burden of influenza disease and greater associated morbidity and mortality compared with healthy controls. Induction and early maintenance immunosuppression is thought to impair immunogenicity to standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine. This early post-transplant period is when immunity is most desirable, since influenza disease during this time frame is associated with adverse consequences. Thus, strategies to reduce severe influenza disease in this highly susceptible population are critical. No trials in lung transplant recipients have evaluated two doses of HD-IIV within the same influenza season as a strategy to improve immunogenicity and durability of influenza prevention. Furthermore, no influenza vaccine trials have focused on enrollment of subjects at early post-transplant timepoints. Very few studies have been performed in solely lung allograft recipients. Immunosuppression intensity is highest in lung patients, thereby limiting comparisons to recipients of heart, liver, and kidney transplants. Therefore, studies to assess both HD-IIV and two-dose strategies in the same influenza season in post-lung transplant recipients are greatly needed. The central hypothesis of our proposal is that lung allograft recipients who are 1-35 months post-transplant and receiving two doses of HD-quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV) will have higher HAI geometric mean titers (GMT) to influenza antigens compared to those receiving two doses of SD-QIV. To test this hypothesis and address the above critical knowledge gaps, we propose to conduct a phase II, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled immunogenicity and safety trial comparing the administration of two doses of HD-QIV to two doses of SD-QIV in lung allograft recipients 1-35 months post-transplant. The results of this clinical trial will address significant knowledge gaps regarding influenza vaccine strategies (e.g., one vs. two doses and HD-QIV vs. SD-QIV) and immune responses in lung transplant recipients and will guide vaccine recommendations during the post-transplant period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Influenza vaccine (Split virion), Inactivated, Quadrivalent developed by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd. (Sinovac-QIV) as compared to a licensed comparator in Chile and Philippines, Vaxigrip Tetra™ (Vaxigrip Tetra-QIV) in individuals aged 3 years and older.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the booster dose of COVID-19 inactivated vaccine and co-immunization with quadrivalent influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia polysaccharide vaccine in people aged 18 years and older. A randomized controlled, open trial design was adopted. The study was conducted with informed consent of the subjects for immunogenicity and safety in the population aged 18 years and older. A total of 3000 healthy subjects were selected, (1)600 healthy subjects were selected for the immunogenicity and safety study of co-immunization, 300 in the adult group (18-59 years old) and 300 in the elderly group (60 years old and above); (2) 2400 healthy subjects were selected for the observational study of the safety of co-immunization, 1200 in the adult group (18-59 years old) and 1200 in the elderly group (60 years old and above ) 1200 people.

The study of quadrivalent influenza vaccine manufactured by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd will conduct in two phases,the phaseⅠclinical trial of the study will be open-label design,and the phase III clinical trial of the study will be randomized, double-blind, active controlled design.the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of quadrivalent influenza vaccine in healthy subjects aged 6 to 35 months.

This is a Phase 1, parallel, randomized, active-controlled, multi-center, dose-esclation study with a Master Protocol design which will include several substudies that are developed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different dose levels of modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines encoding full length hemagglutinin (HA) sequence of influenza virus encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (hereafter referred to as HA mRNA vaccines) compared to control(s). The HA mRNA vaccine candidates and control(s) are presented in the substudy protocols. The aim is to generate clinical data across different substudies to provide learnings regarding the mRNA technology to support optimization of the mRNA platform including mRNA and LNP design and to support the decision of LNP and dose selection for future projects using mRNA technology. The purpose of this Substudy 01 is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single IM injection of up to 5 dose levels of a monovalent modified mRNA encoding the full-length HA sequence of A/Tasmania/503/2020 (H3N2) influenza virus encapsulated in LNP (hereafter referred to as H3 mRNA /LNP) administered as a single intramuscular (IM) injection in adults 18 to 49 years of age and 60 years of age and above, compared to the following active control: a quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4).

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess tolerability, reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of the Flu-M Tetra vaccine as compared to the VaxigripTetra vaccine in terms of prevention of influenza in children aged 6 months to 17 years old inclusive.
