Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The purpose of this research study is to compare how the body reacts to different strengths of an experimental cell culture-grown whole virus A/H5N1 flu vaccine when given with or without the addition of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Researchers will also look at how much antibody is made to the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) after subjects receive the H5N1 vaccine. Three hundred healthy adults aged 18-40 years will participate for approximately 9 months, which includes screening. Participants will receive 2 doses of vaccine or placebo injected 28 days apart. Participants will have blood samples taken up to 7 times and have 8 scheduled study visits.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different combinations of A/H1N1 S-OIV (swine flu) vaccine in non-elderly and elderly adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the body's immune response (body's defense against disease) to an experimental H1N1 influenza vaccine in healthy adult and elderly populations. The study will enroll up to 450 healthy adults ages 18 and older with no history of H1N1 infection or vaccination. Two hundred individuals will be 18-64 years old, and the other 200 will be greater than or equal to 65 years of age. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible vaccine groups: group 1 will receive 15 mcg of H1N1 vaccine; group 2 will receive 30 mcg of H1N1 vaccine. Both groups will receive vaccine injections on days 0 and 21 in the arm muscle. Study procedures include: medical history, physical exam, maintaining a memory aid, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 7 months.

A single center, Open-Label phase IV clinical trial is to be conducted in healthy elders (equal to or more than 61 years to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Sinovac's 15μg H1N1 influenza A Vaccine (Split virion), Inactivated.

This study is to identify the preferred vaccine dosage (of antigen and adjuvant) and schedule (one or two administrations) of the cell-derived H1N1sw monovalent vaccine in healthy children/adolescents based on European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (EMEA/CHMP) criteria, and safety and tolerability.

A single center, randomized clinical trial is to be conducted in healthy adults (18-60 years) to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity and study the cell-mediated Immunity of Sinovac's H1N1 influenza A Vaccine (PANFLU.1) with Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (ANFLU).

A single center, stratified, randomized and double-blind phase II clinical trial was conducted in adolescents to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a split-virion pandemic influenza A vaccine (H5N1).

This is to evaluate immunogenicity based on EMEA/CHMP criteria, and safety & tolerability of cell-derived A/H1N1 influenza HA vaccine in healthy Japanese elderly subjects.

The objective of the study is to evaluate immunogenicity between different formulations of GSK Biologicals' investigational vaccine GSK2186877A.

Every year the human population suffers from seasonal outbreaks of influenza resulting in both illness and death. However, the rates of illness and death from seasonal outbreaks are significantly lower than those suffered during times of influenza pandemic, such as those experienced in 1918, 1957, and 1968. The reason for this difference lies in presence of immunity within a population. With seasonal outbreaks of influenza most people have some immunity to the circulating strain and usually only those with weakened immune systems experience serious complications. Influenza pandemics, in contrast, are the result of a completely new viral subtype to which nobody possesses an immunity, leaving everyone vulnerable to the most serious of complications. It has been estimated that the next flu pandemic could cause over 200,000 deaths and over 700,000 hospitalizations in the US alone. The need for an effective viral vaccine is high. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and immunogenicity of a live influenza A strain vaccine, which would be able to combat an influenza pandemic.
