Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This is a Phase II clinical trial in up to 420 males and non-pregnant females, 19 to 70 years of age, inclusive, who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of one dose of a monovalent inactivated split influenza 2017 A/H7N9 virus vaccine (2017 A/H7N9 IIV), administered intramuscularly (IM) at 3.75 mcg hemagglutinin (HA) per dose, given with or without AS03 adjuvant to subjects primed with a monovalent inactivated split influenza 2013 A/H7N9 virus vaccine (2013 A/H7N9 IIV) in DMID Protocols 13-0032 and 13-0033, or to those who are A/H7 IIV-naïve. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) diluent will be used to achieve the targeted dosage. The study will be conducted at 9 Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU) sites (including their subcontractors). Study duration is approximately 17 months with subject participation duration up to 13 months. The primary objectives are: 1) to assess the safety and reactogenicity of 2017 A/H7N9 IIV given with or without AS03 adjuvant following receipt of one dose of study vaccine; 2) to assess the serum hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) and neutralizing (Neut) antibody responses following receipt of the study vaccine.

The live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is made up of weakened influenza viruses given into the nose and in early studies was shown to be better than the standard influenza vaccine at preventing infections in children. However, more recently, it has performed less well and it may also work less well in Sub-Saharan Africa. Not only do the investigators not know why this is, but the investigators also do not fully understand why LAIV produces stronger nasal antibody responses in some individuals but not others. Usually harmless bacteria that are present in participants noses can influence how our immune system works and variations in these may explain differences in how LAIV works. The project will recruit children given LAIV in the Gambia to gain further understanding of these issues. The investigators will measure a variety of responses to LAIV, including genes that can change their expression early after vaccination and use advanced computational techniques to identify new relationships between these genes and other LAIV responses. The investigators will also see whether nasal bacterial profiles in children who respond to LAIV are different from those who do not. In addition, the investigators will alter these bacteria in a subset of children with antibiotics and see whether this affects both nasal gene expression and later responses to LAIV.

Background: Influenza, or "flu", is a very common infectious respiratory disease. Researchers want to develop a vaccine against flu. Vaccines teach the body to fight or prevent an infection. When the body learns to fight an infection, this is called an immune response. In this study, researchers want to test two new vaccines to help the body make an immune response to flu. Subjects received the vaccine injections in the upper arm muscle. One vaccine, the influenza HA Ferritin vaccine (HA-F A/Sing), was given to all subjects with a needle injection. The other vaccine, influenza DNA vaccine (DNA A/Sing), was given to subjects in Group 3 by a needle-free device that uses high pressure to push the vaccine through the skin and into the muscle. Objective: To test the safety and side effects of two new vaccines for prevention of H2 influenza (flu). Eligibility: Part I: Healthy adults ages 18-47 born after 1969. Part II: Healthy adults ages 18-70, but not born in 1966-1969. Design: Volunteers were tested for eligibility in a separate screening protocol. In Part I, all subjects received injections of HA Ferritin vaccine. These subjects were not expected to have H2N2 exposure based on their age and when H2N2 last circulated in the population. Five subjects in Group 1 received one injection of 20 mcg dose vaccine at Day 0 to test if it is safe. Then, five additional subjects in Group 2 received a total of two injections of a 60 mcg dose on Day 0 and 16 weeks later. In Part II, responses were evaluated from adults born before 1966 who may have prior potential exposure to H2N2 influenza as well as adults similar to those enrolled in Part I who are not expected to have H2N2 exposure. Also, Part II compared responses to 2 different vaccine regimens. Group 3 subjects received a DNA influenza vaccine prime at Day 0 and the HA Ferritin vaccine boost 16 weeks later. Group 4 subjects received the HA Ferritin vaccine 2 times, on Day 0 and 16 weeks later.

The study is a single centre, phase II, double-blind, randomized, comparative trial that explored the immunogenicity and safety of single dose a allantoic split inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine and VAXIGRIP vacccine in healthy adults the two age groups (in persons 18 to 60 years of age and older than 60 years).

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind Phase III Clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the quadrivalent cell culture-derived influenza vaccine compare to the trivalent cell culture-derived influenza vaccine in children aged 6~35 months.

This is a Phase I cohort-randomized, double-blind, controlled trial designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine administered at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants. This study will be conducted at 6 sites and enroll 150 (up to 380) males and non-pregnant females, 19 to 64 years old, inclusive who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. The entire study duration is approximately 24 months and each subject participation duration is approximately 13 months. The primary objectives are: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart. 2) To assess the serum HAI and Neut antibody responses to a monovalent inactivated influenza A/H5N8 virus vaccine following receipt of two doses administered intramuscularly at different dosages (3.75 and 15 mcg of HA per dose) given with or without AS03 or MF59 adjuvants approximately 21 days apart.

The study is a single centre, phase I, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that explored the safety and immunogenicity of single dose a allantoic split inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine in healthy adults.

Recombinant H7 (rH7) vaccine has been shown to be poorly immunogenic in previous human clinical trials. This study will test approaches to improve the immunogenicity of H7 vaccine, namely use of a three dose regimen, use of a modified H7 HA sequence from which the Tregitope has been removed (rH7m), and inclusion of delta inulin adjuvant adjuvant in the vaccine

This randomized, open-label, single-site study at Saint Louis University will enroll approximately 40 subjects who are healthy, 18 to 49 years old. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either licensed trivalent FluMist containing (2010-2011 season appropriate), or licensed inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine (2010-2011 season appropriate) so that approximately 20 subjects will be randomized to receive LAIV, and 20 will receive IIV.

The purpose of this study is to assess the reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of different formulations of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' investigational supra-seasonal universal influenza vaccines (SUIVs) (unadjuvanted or adjuvanted) in 18 to 39 year-old healthy subjects. Subjects will be enrolled and vaccinated with one or 2 primary dose(s) followed by a booster dose one year later.
