Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This is a non-controlled, open-label, single-centre, dose-escalation study to determine the safety, infectivity and immunology of the potential novel influenza virus H3N2 challenge strain. The term 'challenge agent' used in this protocol refers to the Influenza virus H3N2 A/Belgium/4217/2015. The study utilises an adaptive study design and consists of 2 parts.

This trial is taking place in Los Angeles, CA at clinics within the UCLA Health System. Despite the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation in 2010 that all people above 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine, vaccination rates remain low: at 6m-4.9 yrs. (70%), 5-17.9 yrs. (56%), 18-64.9 yrs. (38%), and >65 yrs. (63%). The investigators will assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 1, 2, 3 MyChart R/R messages as compared to the standard of care control (no messages).

This trial is taking place in Los Angeles, CA among patients from primary care practices within the UCLA Health System. Despite the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendation in 2010 that all people above 6 months of age should receive an annual flu vaccine, vaccination rates remain low. The investigators will assess the effectiveness of message-framing (gain-framed, loss-framed messages, no messages), as well as the effectiveness of a pre-commitment prompt (pre-commitment prompt, no prompt) asking about a patient's intention to get the influenza vaccination, using a 3 x 2 factorial design.

This multi-site study assesses the impact of text message reminders on the receipt of the second dose of influenza vaccine, and takes place primarily in practices from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network.

This Phase 3 study is intended to assess the clinical lot-to-lot consistency in manufacturing by evaluating and comparing the immunogenicity of three consecutively manufactured lots of the Quadrivalent Virus-Like Particles (VLP) Influenza Vaccine, during the 2016-2017 influenza season, in healthy adults 18-49 years of age. A single dose of one of three consecutive lots of Quadrivalent VLP Influenza Vaccine (30 µg/strain) will be administered to 1,200 participants.

This is a study of a reverse-engineered, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) grade, antiviral-sensitive, influenza A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus (A/California/04/2009/H1N1-like) infection to assess the effect of pre-existing immunity on clinical and immunological responses. Up to 80 healthy adult subjects will undergo intranasal inoculation with A/Bethesda/MM2/H1N1 virus, and their clinical manifestations, viral shedding and immunological responses will be characterized. The Primary Objective for this study is to evaluate the association of symptomatic Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-positive influenza virus infection post-challenge and pre-existing Hemagglutinin Inhibition Test (HAI) antibody titers.

Adopt the design of random, blind method and placebo to parallel control and progressive methods of groups to study and evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of influenza A (H7N9) vaccine (two types, one type with two specifications) on people of different ages. The vaccines used for testing include: influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/split influenza vaccine (15μg /dose), influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/split influenza vaccine (30μg / dose), influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/whole influenza vaccine (7.5μg / dose) and influenza A (H7N9) virus inactivated vaccine/ whole influenza vaccine (15μg / dose). The study between different subgroups was carried out in an orderly and progressive manner, that is, each kind of vaccine by the dose is from low to high according to the order of age from old to young. Firstly, the study on 15μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 18 and above) and 7.5μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 18 and above) was carried out and then the study on 15μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 12-17) and 7.5μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 12-17) was conducted upon 7-day safety was confirmed after the vaccination, finally the study on 30μg/dose split vaccine group (aged 18 and above) and 15μg/dose whole-virus vaccine group (aged 18 and above) was done. By that analogy for the same conditions, the next group of test can be done after the 7-day safety of the last group of vaccine is confirmed. Subjects and researchers didn't know the formulations of the vaccines used. The vaccine is injected into the upper arm deltoid muscle. After 30 minutes of field observation on safety, the subjects' axillary temperature shall be recorded on the Record Book prepared by the research and local and systemic reactions to injection at the 6th, 24th, 48th, and 72th hour and on the 4th, 8th, 21st and 30th day shall also be recorded. This paper collected 5 serum samples: day 0 (before the first-dose vaccination), day 4 (after the first-dose vaccination), day 21 (before the second-dose vaccination), day 25 (fourth day after the second-dose vaccination) and day 42 (21st day after the second-dose vaccination), of which, blood samples on day 0, 21 and 42 should be stored at 18℃ for antibody detection and the remaining 2 blood samples are only used for blood routine examination, routine urine test, blood biochemistry and other laboratory examinations.

CC-42344 Phase 1 study with single-ascending dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending dose (MAD) parts.

Vaccines are used to prevent infectious diseases worldwide. Unfortunately, many vaccines, like the flu vaccine, are less effective in older adults. This single-centre open label partially randomised, partially placebo-controlled trial evaluates the differences in immune response between young and older adults after vaccination with a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine and an adjuvanted herpes zoster vaccination. Exploring the underlying mechanisms between the differences in immunogenicity can provide important information for future vaccine development.

An open-label, dose-ranging influenza challenge study in healthy adult volunteers to determine the optimal infection dose and safety of a recombinant H3N2 (A/Texas/ A/Texas/71/2017 (H3N2, clade 3C3a) influenza strain. The goal of this study is to find a challenge virus dose that is safe and can achieve a symptomatic influenza Attack Rate (AR) that will be sufficiently high for utilization in future vaccine or intervention studies. The optimal dose of the three considered is broadly defined as the minimum challenge virus dose that elicits the highest AR without meeting safety-stopping criteria. Additionally, viral recovery, clinical symptoms, and immune responses over the post-challenge period will be described by challenge dose group. This study will last for up to 1 year depending upon the number of challenge cohorts enrolled given the adaptive dose-escalation design. The populations are healthy males and non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding females aged = 18 and < 46 years of age with a serum HAI antibody titer of </=1:40 against influenza A/Texas/71/2017 (H3N2), clade 3C3a. The study will enroll and challenge up to 106 (plus 8 shams) healthy adult volunteers with the H3N2 (A/Texas/71/2017 (H3N2), clade 3C3a) influenza virus challenge strain. The primary objectives are: 1) To determine the optimal infectious dose of a recombinant influenza virus (A/Texas/71/2017 (H3N2), clade 3C3a) to be used as a clinical challenge strain in future vaccine efficacy or intervention studies as assessed by viral shedding and clinical symptoms. 2) To describe viral detection by quantitative and qualitative Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) from study subjects at baseline and post-challenge. 3) To document clinical symptoms from self-reported surveys and standardized symptom scales at baseline and post-challenge.
