Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

In pregnant women, flu may cause complications like pneumonia (infection of the lungs) or hospitalization. In the United States (US) it is recommend that all women get flu vaccine if they are going to be pregnant or deliver during the flu season but only a few studies have measured a pregnant woman's immune response (the body's defense against the flu) after getting the flu vaccine. About 200, 18-39 year old, inclusive, pregnant women in their second or third trimester (from 14 weeks of gestation to term, inclusive) will be enrolled in this US based study. Participation will be about 8 months in duration. Women will be randomized (assigned by chance) to receive either Fluzone® or Fluarix®. Blood collection will occur on Day 0 and 28 days post vaccination.

Immunogenicity and safety of a cell-derived influenza vaccine in adults aged >= 18 and <= 64 years, plus revaccination

This trial is designed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a prime-boost schedule of GSK Biologicals' investigational vaccine GSK2340272A in children aged between 3 and 17 years.

The objective is to assess the humoral and cellular immune response of the VAX102 vaccine delivered IM and SC in a prime-boost regimen at dose levels 1 µg or 2 µg in healthy adults against the influenza A virus M2e antigen after each vaccination.

Annual trial for registration influenza vaccine with the strain composition for season 2009/2010.

This research will study safety and the body's immune (defense system) responses, including anti-H5 flu antibodies (the body's protective proteins found in the blood), to an inactivated influenza "H5" bird flu, virus vaccine. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive the vaccine injections with and without an adjuvant, (substance that can improve vaccine effectiveness so less vaccine may be used) MF59, or placebo (inactive substance). Five different vaccine dose strengths will be evaluated. About 735 healthy participants, ages 18-49 will be asked to take part in this study. Study procedures include physical exam, blood sampling, and use of a memory aid. Volunteers will participate for up to 13 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of LBVH0101 (Haemophilus influenzae type b tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine) to that of Hiberix™ at vaccination in healthy infants at their 2, 4, and 6 months of age.

A 1-year multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, phase II trial, stratified on HAART. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a A(H1N1)French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis influenza vaccine, administered with or without adjuvant, in HIV-infected patients after one or two injections.

This prospective annual release study was designed to assess the safety of a monovalent influenza virus vaccine using a new strain recommended for the 2009-2010 influenza season not previously contained in the trivalent intranasal FluMist vaccine. Three hundred healthy adults received a single dose of vaccine or placebo and were followed for 180 days.

Influenza (flu) viruses change continuously, therefore also the parts of viruses used in influenza vaccines can vary from year to year. In Europe, manufacturers/marketing holders of these vaccines are required to be involved in ongoing clinical trials and to present the results to the competent authorities each year. The current study is a phase IIIa clinical trial with a commercially available vaccine (Influvac®) supplied in pre filled syringes. It is part of the ongoing clinical trial program for Influvac® and will be done to assess the immunogenicity and safety and tolerability of next season's trivalent influenza subunit vaccine in two groups of healthy subjects: subjects aged >= 18 and <= 60 years and subjects >= 61 years of age (elderly).
