Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The objectives of the study are to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the inactivated influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell-derived) at Day 21 and Day 180 after vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to compare 2 licensed flu vaccines to each other and to placebo (inactive substance). The study will be conducted among healthy adult participants aged 18-49 years and is expected to last 3 years. During year 1, participants will be assigned to receive 1 of the 2 licensed flu vaccines or placebo, given as either nasal spray (live-attenuated vaccine or placebo) or injection (inactivated vaccine or placebo). Participants will receive the same assigned vaccine or placebo during year 2. During year 3, participants will be followed, but will not receive flu vaccine. Each year blood samples will be collected before and 1 month after each vaccination and at the end of each flu season in order to measure how the body responds to the vaccine and how well participants were protected from the flu. During the flu season, participants with flu-like illness will provide information on symptoms and provide a throat swab to test for virus identification.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new method of detecting the flu infection. This method may allow researchers to identify new proteins being made in response to an infection even before symptoms of the infection are present. The goal of this study is not to prevent the flu but to monitor the immune system response. The elderly and those with chronic health problems are at greater risk for complications (i.e., pneumonia, bronchitis [bacterial infection in the lungs], and sinusitis [bacterial infection in the sinuses]) from the flu. Early detection and diagnosis of the flu decreases the number of people with these complications. Participants will include healthy people between the ages of 21-40, between the ages of 60-89, or 90 years and older, who are living in the communities surrounding the 3 study sites in Virginia. There will be 5 study visits, and subjects will participate up to 1 month.

The purpose of this study is to compare a new higher-dose influenza virus vaccine to the standard dose vaccine in elderly adults who can walk. Current influenza vaccines protect elderly against viral influenza but not as well as desired. It is expected that the higher doses vaccine can be given with little reaction, but this needs to be tested. Up to 410 people ages 65 years and older will be recruited from the community and from existing volunteer populations. Participants will receive either the high or standard dose injected in the muscle, remain in the clinic for 20 minutes afterward, and maintain a daily memory aid for 7 days. The memory aid will be reviewed by telephone 8-12 days after the injection and return to the clinic or contacted by telephone 6 months after the injection.

This phase 3 clinical study is a randomized, observer-blind, comparator-controlled, multicenter study of QIVc versus a US-licensed comparator QIV in children 6 months through 47 months of age. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that vaccination with QIVc elicits an immune response that is noninferior to that of a US-licensed comparator QIV containing the same virus strains, in children 6 months through 47 months of age.

This study is being conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the live-attenuated CodaVax-H1N1 influenza vaccine as compared to normal saline placebo both administered via intranasal spray to healthy adults.

This is an observer-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of TAP-V001 quadrivalent influenza vaccine in healthy adult subjects.

This protocol tests the safety and efficacy of a novel universal vaccine concept called "allo-priming" which is designed to protect elderly adults from progression of any type of viral infection, including possible protection against progression of the current outbreak of COVID-19 infection, and any future variants, strains, mutations of the causative SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as protection from any future currently unknown newly emergent novel viruses.

Background: The flu is a common viral infection that can be deadly for certain people. Vaccines against flu have been developed to teach the body to prevent or fight the infection. A new vaccine may help the body to make an immune response to H10 flu, a flu strain that infects humans. Objective: To test the safety and effectiveness of the H10 Stabilized Stem Ferritin vaccine (VRC-FLUNPF0103-00-VP or H10ssF-6473). Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-70, but not born between 1965-1970 Design: Participants received 1 or 2 vaccinations by injections (shots) in the upper arm muscle over 4 months. Participants received a thermometer and recorded their temperature and symptoms every day on/with/via a diary card for 7 days after each injection. The injection site was checked for redness, swelling, itching or bruising. Participants had 8-10 follow-up visits over 10 months. At follow-up visits, participants had blood drawn and were checked for health changes or problems. Participants who reported influenza-like illness had nose and throat swabs collected for evaluation of viral infection. Some participants had apheresis. A needle was placed into a vein in both arms. Blood was removed through a needle in the vein of one arm. A machine removed the white blood cells and then the rest of the blood was returned to the participant through a needle in the other arm.

Primary Objective: Immunogenicity: To describe the immune response induced by high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV-HD) and AdimFlu-S (QIS) by hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) measurement method in all participants. Safety: To describe the safety profile of all participants in each study groups.
