Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

Licensed influenza vaccines are manufactured with a variety of technologies. The majority are split, inactivated vaccines derived from egg-adapted, high growth reassortant viruses. Two US licensed products do not use egg-adapted viruses: Flucelvax (mammalian cell culture) and FluBlok (recombinant). There is increasing evidence that egg propagation induces virus mutations that impair the immune responses to circulating viruses. However, the impact of egg-propagation on clinical vaccine effectiveness is uncertain, and there is no preferential recommendation for any specific influenza vaccine product or technology. A direct comparison of serologic response to egg based and non-egg based vaccines in adults has not been performed. This randomized trial will compare serologic responses to the egg- and non-egg A(H3N2) vaccine component. The study cohort will be followed for two influenza seasons to evaluate sequential vaccination effects on immune response.

The purpose of this study is to use an existing, unique clinical cohort: the longitudinal cohort of younger (21-40 years) and elderly (>65 years) subjects whose yearly influenza vaccine responses have been studied extensively since 2007, to gain molecular and cellular mechanistic insights into the impaired vaccine responses in the elderly.

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV) and injected-inactivated vaccines (IIV) in healthy individuals aged 20-40. It will investigate cellular and humoral responses, identify immunological markers for targeted vaccine improvement, and establish a collaborative platform for accelerated immunological and clinical vaccine research.

This is a Phase 1, comparator-controlled, dosage escalation study of an intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNP vaccine, DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine, encoding full-length H1 HA of influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1), in up to 50 adult volunteers aged 18 to 49 years, designed to assess vaccine safety and immunogenicity at varying doses. Eligible participants will be sequentially enrolled into dosing groups (10 mcg, 25 mcg, 50 mcg, and selected optimal dose) of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine. Dosing will commence at the lowest dose (10 mcg) and only escalate to the next higher dose if safety concerns are not identified. Up to ten subjects will be enrolled per dosing group. An optimal dosing group will be selected based on safety outcomes from the 10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg dosing group. For the optimal dose, the highest dose with no identified safety concerns as determined by the SRC will be selected. This approach will allow determination of an optimal dosing group which will include 10 optimal dose vaccine recipients. Ten separate participants will be enrolled to receive standard quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4). The primary goal of this study is to assess the safety of two doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine administered intramuscularly in healthy adults (18-49 yrs) at dosage levels of 10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg.

The purpose of this study is to gather additional evidence of the safety and immunogenicity of 1 dose of Fluarix Tetra (0.5 milliliter [mL]) (Northern Hemisphere (NH)2023-2024) in individuals aged 65 years and above to fulfill a post-approval condition imposed by the Indian regulatory authorities (CDSCO) for this age group in India.

Influenza virus is a significant pathogen in pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. However, these individuals respond poorly to standard-dose (SD) inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Recent studies have investigated two strategies to overcome poor immune responses in SOT recipients: (1) administration of high-dose (HD)-IIV compared to SD-IIV and (2) two doses of SD-IIV compared to one dose of SD-IIV in the same influenza season. One study compared HD-IIV vs. SD-IIV in adult SOT recipients and noted that HD-IIV was safe and more immunogenic; however, the median post-transplant period was 38 months. A phase I pediatric study comparing a single dose of HD-IIV vs. SD-IIV was safe with higher immunogenicity, but the study was limited by small sample size and median post-transplant vaccine administration was 26 months. In another phase II trial of adult SOT recipients, two doses of SD-IIV one month apart compared to one-dose of SD-IIV revealed modestly increased immunogenicity when given at a median of 18 months post-transplant. Therefore, these studies lack both evaluation in the early post-transplant period and substantive pediatric populations. Additionally, the administration of two-doses of HD-IIV in the same influenza season has not been evaluated in pediatric SOT recipients. Thus, the optimal immunization strategy for pediatric SOT recipients less than 24 months post-transplant is unknown. In addition, immunologic predictors and correlates of influenza vaccine immunogenicity in pediatric SOT recipients have not been well-defined. The central hypothesis of our proposal is that pediatric SOT recipients 1-23 months post-transplant who receive two doses of HD-quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (QIV) will have similar safety but higher Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) to influenza antigens compared to pediatric SOT recipients receiving two doses of SD-QIV.

Immune response to influenza vaccine in kidney transplant patients

This Phase 3 study is a randomized, observer-blind study of aQIV (an MF59-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine) compared with a non-adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) in adults ≥65 years of age. The aim of the study is to evaluate aQIV compared with QIV in the prevention of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza A and/or B in subjects ≥65 years of age.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, parallel-group, comparator-controlled, observer-blind, multicenter study of immunogenicity and safety in approximately 7700 male and female adults aged 50 years and older (approximately equally split between two age groups: 50-64 years; 65 years and older), who are healthy or have stable comorbidities that increase their risk of complications from influenza infection. Three lots of aQIVc will be evaluated for consistency and pooled for the comparison with the 2 control vaccines. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 lots of aQIVc, QIV1, or QIV2 in a 1:1:1:2:2 ratio (for a 3:2:2 ratio for aQIVc, QIV1, and QIV2). The study will have a treatment period (Day 1 to Day 29) and a follow-up period (Day 30 up to Day 181); a subset of 770 subjects will be followed up up to Day 365.

This is an open-tabled, one-arm observatory trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Autonomous Treatment System Based on Machine Learning in patients with Covid-19, Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection and influenza.
