Active clinical trials for "Influenza in Birds"

This will be a randomized, open-label, pilot feasibility study of four 2-dose vaccine regimens in healthy volunteers using two commercially available seasonal influenza vaccines to compare immune responses and in vitro cross-reactivity against H5N1. Vaccine doses will be spaced by approximately 8 weeks to allow for optimal prime boost conditions. Humoral, cellular and secretory immune responses will be measured 2 and 4 weeks after each vaccine dose and compared with baseline values.

The safety and tolerability of the pandemic A/H5N1 virosomal vaccine formulated with or without the 3rd generation ISCOM™ adjuvant for parenteral administration will be investigated locally and systemically and by using haematological, biochemical and immunological screening tests. The immunogenicity of the H5N1 vaccine will be assessed through the induction of local and systemic antibody and cellular immune responses. In a pandemic situation, an important aspect is the rapidity of the immune response to the H5N1 vaccine so the detailed kinetics of the immune response will be investigated. The capacity of the vaccine to elicit long lasting immunity and cross reactive immunity to H5 viruses will also be evaluated. Furthermore, the quality of the immune response induced by the vaccine will be studied. The vaccine will be administered as twice the normal human dose (30μg HA) with and without adjuvant, and in a dose sparing manor of half (7.5μg HA) and one tenth (1.5μg HA) of the normal human dose with adjuvant. Sixty subjects will receive two doses of virosomal H5N1 influenza vaccine (separated by 21 ± 4 days) by intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle. Escalating doses will be separated by a period of one week. Four groups each containing 15 subjects will receive two doses of the pandemic virosomal A/H5N1 influenza vaccine containing: Group 1 30µg HA IM, Group 2 1.5µg HA adjuvanted with 50µg 3rd generation ISCOM™ IM, Group 3 7.5µg HA adjuvanted with 50µg 3rd generation ISCOM™ IM, Group 4 30µg HA adjuvanted with 50µg 3rd generation ISCOM™ IM.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and reactogenicity of live attenuated influenza H5 vaccine candidate strain A/17/turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) manufactured by GPO, in Thailand to previously healthy Thais.

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.

Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus with high incidence and serious complications even causing death. According to the announcement released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of global annual influenza case was 0.6 to 1.2 billion and 0.5 to 1 million people died. The emergence of a new subtype of influenza virus may cause an influenza pandemic with occurence once every 10 to 50 years which cause serious adverse consequences for human health and social welfare worldwide. From 1997 to 2003，the H5N1 virus infection has increased highly and gradually spreaded to Europe, Africa and other countries and regions. High mortality caused by H5N1 virus has attracted the WHO and national government great attention. So it is meaningful to develop vaccine to provide effective antibody to reduce the number of infections. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary immunogenicity of a whole virus inactivated influenza H5N1 vaccine.

This is a single center, randomized, partially-blinded, Phase II, small, targeted, prospective study in approximately 30 healthy male and non-pregnant female subjects aged 18 to 49 years old, inclusive, designed to evaluate and compare the immunogenicity between an intramuscular monovalent inactivated influenza A/H7N9 virus vaccine given with and without AS03 adjuvant, and an intramuscular unadjuvanted monovalent inactivated influenza A/H3N2v virus vaccine. The primary objectives are (1) assessing the serum anti-HA hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) response to influenza A/H7N9 antigen (with and without adjuvant) at Day 57 (approximately one month after the second study vaccination with A/H7N9 vaccine with or without AS03) and influenza A/H3N2v antigen at Day 29 (approximately one month after the study vaccination with A/H3N2v), and (2) identifying differentially expressed genes in human immune cells on Days 2, 4, and 29 (following the first study vaccination with A/H7N9 vaccine with or without AS03) and on Days 30, 32, and 36 (following the second study vaccination with A/H7N9 vaccine with or without AS03), compared to baseline assessments performed prior to each study vaccination (Days -7, 1, and 29).

This study aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of two doses of H5N1 influenza antigen in non-elderly and elderly adult subjects in order to submit an extension application for a lower dose of Focetria.

The main objective of the study is to assess the immune response to a non-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine in an adult population when administered according to a single prime-boost schedule.

The main focus of the study is: To estimate seroprevalence of AI in poultry-exposed and non-exposed human populations. To estimate the incidence of AI in poultry-exposed and non-exposed human populations. To investigate risk factors associated with AI infections in occupationally-exposed poultry workers. The secondary objectives of the study: To investigate patterns in transmission of AI to household contacts of AI clinical cases To isolate AI viruses from acute cases To monitor the pathogenicity and disease severity of AI viruses causing human infections

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.
