Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

The purpose of this study is to compare immunogenicity and safety of ASP7374 (cell-culture derived influenza vaccine) with those of approved egg-derived trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) in adults ≥20 and <65 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of intramuscular ASP7374 in adults ≥61 years of age.

Randomized, multicenter, open label trial to compare safety and efficacy of two doses stationary flu vaccination vs one doses in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.

the purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of VXA-A1.1, an adjuvanted adenoviral based influenza vaccine, when delivery is targeted to the ileum, using a radio controlled capsule. The secondary objective is to evaluate the immune response (cellular and humoral) of two doses of VXA-A1.1 oral vaccine.

Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Immune Response of Adjuvanted H5N1 Cell Culture Derived Influenza Vaccine in Adult Subjects.

Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Immune response of adjuvanted H5N1 cell culture derived influenza vaccine in children.

This is a single center, multi-site, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial of the clinical efficacy of trivalent Serum Institute of India, Ltd. (SIIL)live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) vaccine among children aged 24 through 59 months in Bangladesh. Background: Burden: Within Bangladesh, community- based influenza surveillance identified 84.5 cases/1000 children-years among children <5 years, while 10% of clinical pneumonia cases were influenza positive in this age group. Knowledge gap: There has never been a randomized clinical efficacy trial of the SIIL LAIV vaccine conducted among children in a low-income country. Relevance: Another LAIV vaccine (made by MedImmune) has been shown to have high efficacy against laboratory-confirmed influenza among children. The SIIL LAIV has the potential to be an inexpensive intervention to prevent pediatric influenza disease. Primary Hypothesis: In children aged 24 through 59 months in Bangladesh, LAIV is efficacious in reducing rates of symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza (vaccine-matched strains) among children vaccinated with LAIV as compared to children vaccinated with a placebo through the first influenza season following vaccination. Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy of LAIV in reducing rates of symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection (vaccine-matched strains) among children receiving LAIV as compared to children receiving a placebo through the first influenza season following vaccination (through December 2013). Methods: A total of 1761 children will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio of LAIV to placebo beginning in March 2013. After vaccination, all children will be evaluated for reactions with one home visit four days post vaccination. Subsequently, all children will be monitored weekly for safety outcomes and illness signs at weekly field worker home visits through December 2013. An extended surveillance period was added to this study and, for participants consenting to additional follow-up, surveillance will extend through a second season (through September 2014). Participants with illness signs will be referred to the study clinic for evaluation using standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment by a study physician. Children meeting protocol-defined clinical Specimen Collection Criteria will have a nasopharyngeal wash specimen collected. Clinical specimens will be tested by Real time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) for evidence of influenza virus infection. Primary Outcome measures/variables: Vaccine efficacy will be assessed against symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed influenza for all circulating virus strains.

In the present study, the investigators want to investigate whether prior BCG-vaccination improves the efficacy of influenza ("the flu") vaccination in young and/or old healthy volunteers and consequently could protect against influenza virus infection.

This will be an open label, parallel, randomized clinical trial that will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the trivalent influenza vaccine (inactivated and fragmented) produced by Instituto Butantan among adult kidney transplant recipients, when administered in three vaccination regimens: i) the recommended dose; ii) a single double dose; iii) two doses administered with a 21 day interval. The randomization ratio among the three groups of kidney transplant recipients will be 1:1, and 60 participants will be included in each group. After vaccination all participants will be followed for 26 weeks. In addition, 15 healthy adults will be included as a control group, and will receive the recommended dose. The study hypothesis is that a different vaccination regimen can improve the immune response of kidney transplant recipients after vaccination with the trivalent influenza vaccine (inactivated and fragmented).

Evaluate the persistency of immune response against Haemophilus influenzae type b by assessing anti-PRP antibody levels in children vaccinated with either Hib-CRM197 or Hib-TT booster vaccine approximately 4 years before.
