Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This is a randomized, open label, phase II trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two different schedules of vaccination against influenza A H1N1 in HIV-infected individuals, in which each of the randomized groups will be compared with HIV-negative volunteers vaccinated with the regimen indicated by the Brazilian National Immunization Program. Will be included in the study HIV-infected patients, stratified by CD4 count (< 200 cells/mm3 or > 200 cells/mm3) at the time of screening for the study, not receiving antiretroviral therapy treatment or receiving stable treatment for at least 8 weeks, with no plans to change over the next 6 months, eligible to receive vaccine against influenza A H1N1. The control group will be formed by HIV-negative individuals, confirmed by serology performed at screening, eligible to receive vaccine against influenza A H1N1. Patients infected with HIV will receive one of two possible vaccination regimens: 1) 3.75 µg in two applications 21 days apart, 2) 7.5 µg in two applications 21 days apart. The volunteers in the control group will receive a single application of 3.75 µg dose of the vaccine. The study's hypotheses are: 1) The vaccine against the H1N1 virus promotes antibody titers above the level specified for protection (seroconversion), being as safe and well tolerated in patients HIV-1 infected as in non HIV-infected volunteers; 2) The proportion of seroconversion for H1N1 virus vaccine at a dose of 3.75 µg in HIV-1-infected patients is similar to the proportion of seroconversion induced by the same vaccine at a dose of 7.5 µg; 3)The proportion of seroconversion with one dose of the vaccine against H1N1 virus is similar to the proportion after the second dose.

The aim of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity and safety of the inactivated split-virion vaccine in infants.

This study will assess safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' H5N1 flu candidate vaccine GSK1557484A in children 6 months to < 18 years of age.

Influenza (flu) viruses change continuously, therefore also the parts of viruses used in influenza vaccines can vary from year to year. In Europe, manufacturers/marketing holders of these vaccines are required to be involved in ongoing clinical trials and to present the results to the competent authorities each year. The current study is a phase IIIa clinical trial with a commercially available vaccine (Influvac®) supplied in pre filled syringes. It is part of the ongoing clinical trial program for Influvac® and will be done to assess the immunogenicity and safety and tolerability of next season's trivalent influenza subunit vaccine in two groups of subjects in good health: subjects aged >= 18 and <= 60 years and subjects >= 61 years of age (elderly)

This is a multicenter, escalating dose-ranging study to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of 3 different novel H1N1 influenza vaccine constructs delivered i.m. as a single dose vaccination on day 0.

This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' Trivalent split virion influenza vaccine Fluviral for the 2008-2009 season in adults over the age of 18.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK's avian flu vaccine GSK 1557484A is immunogenic and safe when given to adults aged >=18 years. This Protocol Posting has been updated following Amendments 1-3 of the Protocol, Dec 2009. The impacted sections are study design and outcome measures.

To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule in accordance with the Package Insert, in children aged ≥ 6 months to < 36 months. To describe the immunogenicity of the 2004-2005 inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, administered in a two-dose schedule in accordance with the Package Insert, in children aged ≥ 6 months to < 36 months

To describe the safety during days 0 to 21 following injection of the 2003-2004 formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone® in subjects aged 18-59 years and subjects aged ≥ 60 years. To describe the immune response at 21 days following injection of the 2003-2004 formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, in subjects aged 18-59 years and subjects aged ≥ 60 years.

Primary Objective: To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule (described in the package insert for vaccine-naïve young children) to the investigational and control groups. Observational Objective: To describe the percentage of protective Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) antibody titers (following a 2-dose Fluzone® immunization series) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens among the investigational and control groups.
