Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

Primary Objective: To assess the trend in immunogenic response across patients administered either licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or one of three doses (15, 45 or 135 μg) of trivalent recombinant baculovirus expressed hemagglutinin vaccines. Immunogenic response is defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in serum antibody. Secondary Objective: To determine the safety and tolerability of 3 doses (15 μg HA per virus, 45 μg HA per virus, and 135 μg HA per virus) of recombinant baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine in patients with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma.

- Trial to compare the efficacy of the liquid formulation of CAIV-T with TIV against culture confirmed influenza illness in children.

Until now, the best administration route of the anti-flu vaccine for patients receiving long term oral anticoagulation therapy has been the subcutaneous one; the intramuscular route has not been recommended because it may increase the risk of muscular haematoma. Although this practice is widely extended, no significant differences between the safety of both routes have been found. Some authors, analysing a small group of patients, affirm that the anti-flu vaccine can be administered safely by the intramuscular route on patients receiving long term oral anticoagulation therapy, while a previous opinion article recommended the subcutaneous route without any scientific evidence. Due to this, the investigators have done a clinical trial with the aim of determining the safety and effectiveness of the flu-vaccine intramuscular route in patients receiving long term oral anticoagulation therapy and also to analyse the possible interactions between the vaccine and the oral anticoagulant treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate INR and INR related index and Warfarin weekly dosage variations after Influenza Vaccination

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the liquid formulation of CAIV-T against culture confirmed influenza illness in adults aged 60 years and older. In addition this study aims to demonstrate superiority of CAIV-T when compared with placebo and the effect on economic resources.

This study plans to learn more about whether a stakeholder-informed, standardized inpatient vaccination program will increase influenza vaccination rates of hospitalized children across US pediatric health systems. The first part of the study is to form a multidisciplinary team of stakeholders, including parents, providers, nurses, pharmacists, informaticists, data analysts and communication experts across three sites in synthesizing a best practice implementation guide for an inpatient influenza vaccination program, which will then be piloted at these three sites.

Cardiovascular disease has a great burden in the context of public health, as well as the low pharmacological adherence of patients who have chronic non-transmissible diseases. However, the investigators do not have data on the efficacy of vaccination to reduce cardiovascular events in the acute coronary syndromes, and the few studies evaluating the cardioprotective potential of the influenza vaccine were conducted in countries with well defined seasonalities, divergent of Brazil, that presents a constant viral circulation during all months of the year and distinct among its regions. Therefore, study evaluating higher dose vaccination in a period that contemplates the seasonality of the influenza virus in Brazil may bring important findings to different scientific gaps, as well as clarify questions about the possible benefit of doubled vaccination - which does not present contraindications - immediately after a atherothrombotic event. If it shows real benefit, it could also be a future therapeutic tool adjuvant to traditional drug therapy in the prevention of cardiovascular events.

Background: - Influenza (flu) is a virus that causes people to get sick. Most of the time, the flu causes only a mild illness, but some people can become seriously ill or even die from it. Currently, some pills and inhaled powders can be used to treat the flu, but they only make flu symptoms end about a day sooner. More treatment choices for the flu are needed, especially for those who become seriously ill. Researchers want to test a new drug, AVI-7100, that might keep a person who takes it from having a more serious case of the flu. Objectives: - To see how healthy adult volunteers tolerate the AVI-7100 anti-influenza drug. Eligibility: - Healthy volunteers of normal weight between 18 and 60 years of age. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. A heart function test will also be performed. Participants will have either AVI-7100 or a placebo infusion. They will not know which infusion they have. . Participants will stay at the clinical center for a total of 8 hours after the infusion. Blood samples will be collected 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours after the end of the infusion Participants will return on Days 1, 2, 4, 10, and 28 after receiving the drug. Blood and urine samples will be collected. A heart function test will also be performed. There will be a second part of the study that is separate from the first one. Additional people will receive either AVI-7100 or placebo to test their reactions to a specific dose.

This was a Phase IV open label and single arm study, with the aim of enrolling up to 55 healthy males and non-pregnant females in a single site, age 18-49 years old, inclusive. This study was designed to assess the humoral response to influenza vaccination and the longevity of humoral immunity to influenza vaccination in healthy adults. Total enrollment was 27 participants. This was a multi-year study. After one year of participation, participants were offered the opportunity to participate in the study for up to 3 consecutive years, provided eligibility criteria was met each year. Participants who elected to continue in the study after first year of participation were rescreened to verify continued eligibility and re-consented prior to subsequent participation. The primary study objective was to investigate the longevity of humoral immunity to influenza virus in humans. Note: Due to the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, all non-essential research was halted in mid-March 2020. New enrollments were placed on hold for this study. Follow-up visits were also halted, which impacted the timing of participants' subsequent follow-up visits. Participant visits for Day 7 and Day 14 were not impacted. For this study, there were participants whose Day 28 and Day 90 visits were impacted by the temporary halting of non-essential research studies. As such, a request was submitted to the Emory University Institutional Review Board to extend the missed visit windows for the Day 28 and Day 90 visits for a maximum of up to 180 days, to ensure that ample time was available to bring participants back for their missed visits. Enrollment for this study ended on March 31, 2020, before research activities could resume at Emory.

Influenza (the 'flu') is a common virus infecting approximately 5-20% of the population in the United States and causing as many as 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. Currently, there are only a few treatments for influenza infection and none of these target inflammation that can be caused by the virus. This study will test whether the anti-inflammatory effects of statins, a class of drugs most often used to treat high cholesterol, will decrease the severity of illness in patients who are infected with influenza by testing markers of inflammation in the blood and recording resolution of influenza illness.
