Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The purpose of this first-time-in-human (FTiH) study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) messenger RNA (mRNA)-based monovalent vaccine (GSK4382276A) candidate against influenza in healthy younger adults (YA) and older adults (OA).

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the booster dose of COVID-19 inactivated vaccine and co-immunization with quadrivalent influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia polysaccharide vaccine in people aged 18 years and older. A randomized controlled, open trial design was adopted. The study was conducted with informed consent of the subjects for immunogenicity and safety in the population aged 18 years and older. A total of 3000 healthy subjects were selected, (1)600 healthy subjects were selected for the immunogenicity and safety study of co-immunization, 300 in the adult group (18-59 years old) and 300 in the elderly group (60 years old and above); (2) 2400 healthy subjects were selected for the observational study of the safety of co-immunization, 1200 in the adult group (18-59 years old) and 1200 in the elderly group (60 years old and above ) 1200 people.

The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on influenza vaccination rates and health literacy in primary school students in the city of Dongguan in China. Individuals aged 7 to 12 years who are in grades 4-5 in primary schools in Dongguan will be enrolled. 20 primary schools will be randomly selected, with half designated as intervention group schools and the remaining half as control group schools. The intervention group will receive a monthly health education intervention focused on influenza vaccination for 5 months, while the control group will continue with their routine school health education for 5 months. Researchers will compare the differences in influenza vaccination rates and influenza vaccination health literacy levels between the intervention and control groups after 5 months to see if health education can promote influenza vaccination health literacy among primary school students.

This study examines how the immune system responds to the flu virus (H3N2) during and after infection and how the flu virus is transmitted in the environment. The study will used a flu virus called the H3N2 influenza challenge virus which was produced specifically for use in clinical research in controlled conditions. The study will also assess the safety of the H3N2 influenza challenge in healthy subjects. Mild to moderate symptoms are expected based on previous studies with this strain of influenza.

This study will examine how various FDA-approved seasonal influenza vaccine types, used in a manner consistent with their approved use, impact the characteristics of influenza specific antibodies in humans, and how these responses differ based on age and prior immunization history.

Cellular and humoral immune responses before and after seasonal influenza vaccination will be assessed. Each year, up to 100 participants will be enrolled. To study age-specific differences in immune responses, participants with various years of birth will be enrolled. The investigators hypothesize that humans with different birth years will mount antibody and cellular responses of different specificities following seasonal influenza vaccination.

This is one project of a larger ongoing study related to the immune system's response to the flu virus. This study is designed to investigate the immune response to vaccination in pregnancy.

This is a prospective, single-arm study designed to understand the mechanisms that lead to a loss of response to influenza vaccine in older adults. The investigators will recruit and longitudinally follow a cohort of 66 older adults (65 years and older) who will receive three different influenza vaccines over three annual influenza seasons. Blood samples will be collected from the participants at each of the sixteen study visits over three years. Nasal swab and stool samples will also be collected from participants at seven time-points across the study period. The study is not designed to assess safety or tolerability of the influenza vaccines administered as part of this study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response of the killed flu vaccine in healthy subjects. Participants in this study are considered to be healthy volunteers. Influenza ("Flu") infection carries a risk of serious illness. This is an open label and single arm observational study designed to assess the humoral response to influenza vaccination and the longevity of humoral immunity to influenza vaccination in healthy adults. Enrolled subjects will receive licensed seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (administered as a part of the study). Participants will donate serial samples of blood and bone marrow aspirate for immunology monitoring. Repeated measurements of humoral immunity will be obtained at 7 days, 28 days, 90 days and at one year post vaccination to assess the magnitude, clonal diversity and persistence of B-cell responses to influenza vaccination.

Pregnant women and children with chronic medical conditions are at increased risk of hospitalisation, intensive care admission and death from influenza and COVID-19 infections. However, there appears to be a high level of vaccine hesitancy among women of reproductive age. We will develop "nudge" interventions to improve influenza and COVID vaccine uptake among pregnant women and medically at risk children and test the effectiveness of the interventions using randomised controlled trials.
