Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The study will test whether a high dose influenza vaccination results in improved immunogenicity in adult SOT recipients as compared to standard vaccine. This will be a single center prospective observer-blind randomized controlled trial conducted at the Toronto General Hospital Multi-Organ Transplant Unit, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This Phase 3/4, randomized, observer-blind, multi-center study, stratified study evaluated the immune (antibody) response, efficacy and safety of a cell-derived quadrivalent subunit influenza virus vaccine (Seqirus QIVc) in comparison with a non-influenza comparator, meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135, and Y (Menveo®, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, S.A.) in healthy pediatric subjects ≥2 Years to <18 Years of Age

This blinded randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of drinking fermented milk containing Lactobacillus paracasei (IMULUS) on immune response against influenza.

This study will investigate whether behaviourally informed changes to the invitation process can improve uptake of childhood influenza vaccine by two and three year olds at primary care.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate efficacy of prophylactic Ingavirin intake by people having contact with sick people infected with influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections

The goal of this study is to establish that Flublok Quadrivalent is non-inferior to fully licensed (traditional approval status) quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) in protecting against laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza disease in the ≥50 year age population.

Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. There are three types of the virus including A, B and C. Both type A and type B viruses can cause acute febrile respiratory tract infection, characterized by sudden fever, headache, muscle pain, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and general malaise. Influenza can periodically cause worldwide pandemic. For nearly a century, the influenza virus had occurred four large variation, causing three world pandemic. Studies have shown that since 1957, most of those new variants of influenza virus started in China, which is recognized by the world to have high incidence of influenza. At present, trivalent influenza vaccines are widely used in China. They only contain two kinds of type A virus antigens and one type B virus antigen. But since 2000, two kinds of type B strains (Victoria and Yamagata) have caused an alternating cycle in different seasons. Gradually, evolved from the original single lineage of influenza B virus B/Yamagata, two distinct antigenic lineages-B/Victoria and B/Yamagata have alternately dominated or caused a mix of popular lineage. These two lineages have little or nearly no cross-protection. Therefore, trivalent influenza vaccines may not cover the popular strains of influenza B virus, whereas quadrivalent influenza vaccines will help to simultaneously prevent two kinds of type A viruses and two kinds of type B virus.

This is a single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Multimeric-001 in thirty six (36) volunteers 50-65 years of age. All subjects will receive an intramuscular (IM) injection, in each one of three visits, with a 21±2 days interval between treatments.

The purpose of this study is to compare the number of responders to vaccination with the influenza virus vaccine at different time points after last dose of rituximab in patients with lymphoma. Secondly to study the immune-response to vaccination with influenza virus vaccine, after treatment with rituximab in relation to the reconstitution of immune-function.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of child death worldwide. Data from Bangladesh indicates that influenza has a substantial association with pneumonia among children less than two years old. This study will use commercially available trivalent inactivated vaccine (killed vaccine) to see if it can prevent early childhood pneumonia among children less than two years old. The study will vaccinate children across three seasons (3 years), and look at the effect on the attack rate of pneumonia, as well as its effects on laboratory-confirmed influenza. It will also look at the effect on laboratory-confirmed influenza illness among the non-vaccinated household contacts of all ages of these children.
