Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

TROPICS1 is a randomized, observer-blind, active comparator-controlled, single-center, Phase IV trial in 200 participants aged ≥65 years. The control group will receive a standard dose licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine at day 1, and an active-comparator (Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis vaccine) at day 180. Participants in the experimental group will receive the same influenza vaccine at day 1 and day 180. Endpoints are immunological, and include measures of haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) titres, micro-neutralisation titres and cell-mediated immunity at 4 time points after the initial vaccination up to Day 360. The primary hypothesis is that participants receiving an influenza booster at day 180 will achieve superior influenza seroprotection (HI titre ≥1:40) at day 208, compared to controls. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the global annual burden from seasonal influenza as 1 billion infections, with 3-5 million severe cases and 300,000-500,000 deaths. The pattern and impact of these infections varies considerably with climate. In temperate countries, influenza epidemics characteristically occur during the cold winter months, while in sub-tropical countries, they coincide with the rainy seasons. Closer to the equator, influenza virus activity is more complex. In Singapore, biannual epidemics are usual, but with continuous transmission year-round. Bi-annual epidemics, tri-annual epidemics and year round virus activity have also been described in other tropical countries, from Indonesia and Malaysia to Peru and Mexico. There is no published data reporting year-round influenza vaccine effectiveness in the elderly from countries with continuous influenza virus activity. Despite numerous studies worldwide exploring the HI antibody response to influenza vaccination, the majority of these do not continue follow up beyond seroconversion (21-28 days). However, of the few available, HI antibody titres declined following influenza vaccination in the elderly, such that within 6-12 months geometric mean titres approached pre-vaccination levels. With biannual epidemics and year-round transmission in tropical regions, year-round seroprotection may be important to reduce influenza infections in this environment. A six-monthly vaccination cycle would correspond with the decline in vaccine-induced seroprotection in the elderly, and the 6-monthly periodicity of outbreaks in Singapore and other tropical countries.

This Phase 2 Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine study is intended to replicate and extend the immunogenicity and safety results obtained in earlier Phase 1-2 and Phase 2 studies. The study is being conducted to demonstrate that the immunogenicity profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine meets the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) licensure criteria. The study will also help to define the optimal dose, establish potential competitive advantages, and support the design of future studies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' Infanrix hexa, given in the primary vaccination schedule to infants born to pregnant women who participated in study 116945 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-047]. This study will help us evaluate if the presence of transplacentally transferred maternal antibodies interfere with the immune response to primary vaccination with Infanrix hexa and a co-administered pneumococcal conjugate vaccine given as a part of this study in infants.

The present study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of trivalent, surface antigen, inactivated influenza vaccine in 2 age cohorts: 18 to ≤60 years and ≥61 years. For the immunogenicity endpoint the antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen will be evaluated by means of Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) or Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) at approximately 21 days post vaccination. The vaccine composition will be based on the WHO recommended influenza strains for the 2015 Southern Hemisphere vaccine, and the data from this study are intended to support the use of this vaccine in future influenza seasons if the recommended vaccine composition remains the same.

The purpose of this study are to determine the effect FF-3 in comparison to placebo in subjects who are experimentally inoculated with a live, challenge strain of influenza A virus.

This is a single centre phase I, double-blind placebo-controlled study to assess reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of a live monovalent A/17/Anhui/2013/61 (H7N9) influenza vaccine in healthy male and female adults, 18 through 49 years of age .

This prospective annual release study is designed to evaluate the safety of 3 new influenza virus vaccine strains to be included in FluMist Quadrivalent for the 2015-2016 influenza season

This study is a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase Ⅲ Trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of Live-Attenuated influenza Vaccine(LAIV) among healthy children and adolescents aged 3-17 years.

Phase 2 study, looking at the prophylactic efficacy, safety and tolerability to a repeated nasal dose of study drug after being infected with Influenza A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2) virus.

This was a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blinded, active-controlled trial to assess the Safety and Tolerability of a Recombinant Trivalent Nanoparticle Influenza Vaccine (Tri-NIV) with Matrix M1™ Adjuvant in Healthy Older Adults ≥ 60 Years of Age
