Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This study may provide safety information on a flu vaccine given to children and may provide immunogenicity information to add to what was collected in a previous flu vaccine study. Participants will include 55 healthy children, ages 2-10, who participated in 04-077 and received a placebo injection instead of the flu vaccine or were incompletely immunized. The study has 2 purposes: to make sure there are no serious side effects in children and to see how the immune systems react to the vaccine. Study procedures include up to 4 study visits, up to 9 follow-up phone calls, 2 blood samples to be collected during visits 1 and 3, and up to 3 vaccine injections in the arm or thigh muscle. Parents will be given a memory aid card to record side effects, temperatures, and medications. Parents will have the option for the child to receive a 3rd dose of vaccine if offered, at month 6. This booster shot will require a 6-month visit and participation for an additional 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to test the specific humoral response after an intramuscular and intradermal influenza vaccination in lung transplant recipients

This study will determine if an experimental avian flu (bird flu) vaccine is safe, whether it has side effects and if it can stimulate an immune response in people. The vaccine being tested in this study is made from DNA (genetic material) that codes for an influenza protein called hemagglutinin 5 (H5), which is based on the protein from the bird flu virus. The study will determine if the body creates resistance or immunity to the H5 protein. The hope is that an immune response to this protein may protect against bird flu virus infection. Healthy people between 18 and 60 years old who have been vaccinated with the current season's influenza vaccine may be eligible for this study. Participants are randomly assigned to receive injections of one of the following: 1) study vaccine at 1 mg dose, 2) study vaccine at 4 mg dose, or 3) placebo (salt-water solution). They receive three injections about 4 weeks apart in the upper arm muscle. Participants record their temperature and symptoms at home for 5 days after each injection, either on a diary card or electronically using the Internet, and report any side effects to a study physician or nurse as soon as possible. They return to NIH for clinic visits every 2 weeks for the first 12 weeks, then at week 26 and at week 42 to check for health changes or problems. Blood is drawn at all visits and urine samples are collected through week 10. If a participant develops serious side effects, the study physician may decide that he or she should not receive any further injections. However, all participants are asked to continue the follow-up visits even if they do not get the full set of three injections. ...

This is a study of the safety and immunogenicity of three commercially available influenza vaccines in children.

This study will test the effectiveness of face masks and hand cleaning in preventing the spread of influenza within households

Based on the results from a previous formulation/dosage ranging trial, this phase II multicenter, open trial was designed to determine the safety and immunogenicity of two vaccine formulation/dosages with and without adjuvant 21 days after each vaccination in adults (18 to 60 years and in the elderly (> 60 years) as required by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) guideline. The antibody persistence until the booster vaccination at 6 or 12 months will also be evaluated.

This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of 2 doses of FLUAD-H5N1 vaccine compared to 2 doses of trivalent, interpandemic FLUAD, each administered 3 weeks apart.

The purpose of this study is to test different adjuvanted vaccine formulations as a two-dose schedule in immunologically naïve adults against one vaccine formulation without adjuvant in terms of tolerance and immunogenicity Primary Objective: To describe the safety profile and immunogenicity following each injection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term antibody persistence at 12, 24 and 48 months after the administration of a booster dose of Menitorix™, given at 12-15 months of age. The children had previously received 3 doses of Menitorix™ and Infanrix IPV™ or Meningitec™ and Pediacel™ in infancy. In addition, the antibody persistence is to be investigated in children of 40-43 months of age who received a 3-dose primary vaccination of a MenC conjugate vaccine and a Hib containing vaccine in infancy without a booster dose of MenC conjugate and Hib vaccine in the second year of life. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the extension phases at 12, 24 and 48 months after the booster phase.

This protocol is designed to evaluate safety, clinical tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2007 southern hemisphere formulation of a Novartis conventional influenza vaccine licensed in the EU and many other worldwide countries, according to the US FDA Draft Guidance for Industry "Clinical data needed to support the licensure of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine", issued in March 2006, and to evaluate safety, clinical tolerability and immunogenicity of the 2007 southern hemisphere formulation of a Novartis conventional influenza vaccine already licensed in US. The purpose of the control arm is primarily to provide a comparative assessment for safety, not immunogenicity or effectiveness.
