Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This prospective annual release study was designed to assess the safety of a trivalent influenza virus vaccine using a new strain recommended for the 2008-2009 influenza season not previously contained in the trivalent intranasal FluMist vaccine. Three hundred healthy adults received a single dose of vaccine or placebo and were followed for 180 days.

This study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immune response when 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) and the trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (TIV) are given together to healthy adults aged 50-59 years who are naive to 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (23vPS), or when the vaccines are given 1 month apart. It will also evaluate the immune response to 13vPnC once per year for 4 years and then to a second dose of 13vPnC given 5 years after the first dose.

This is a Phase I/IIa randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 potencies (dosages) of H5N1 VLP vaccine or placebo in healthy adults 18 to 40 years of age.

A controlled, double blinded study to determine the safety and reactogenicity in healthy adults of a single dose of a trivalent cell-derived influenza vaccine administered by intramuscular injection.

The present study is designed to assess the lot-to-lot consistency of the immunogenicity of a GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' pandemic influenza candidate vaccine (GSK1562902A) in adults aged between 18 and 60 years.

Influenza is a virus infection that causes sickness from the nose to the lungs. It is thought that type 1 interferon (a protein that helps the immune system fight viruses) will make flu vaccines more effective. This study will determine if type 1 interferon added to a specific flu vaccine will help the immune system of healthy adults fight off infection better than vaccine alone. Ninety volunteers, ages 18-40, will participate in this study. They will attend 3 study visits and have a final follow-up study visit, email, or phone call about six months after the vaccination. Volunteers will receive a single dose of study vaccine sprayed into the nose. Study procedures including blood samples and nasal washes (the inside of the nose is washed out) will be collected to evaluate immune system responses.

AVX502, an alphavirus replicon vaccine expressing an influenza HA protein, is a candidate vaccine against influenza. The objectives of this Phase 1 study are to test the safety of the vaccine and the immune response to the vaccine in healthy volunteers 18-40 years of age. Volunteers will be assigned by randomization to receive either the vaccine or an inactive substance (placebo) by injections in each arm on one or two occasions over 2 months. The study will last 4 months and will have a total of 8 visits.

Valuate the immune response and reactogenicity of H5N1 vaccination in a primed population (H5N3 adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted vaccine) compared to immunologically naïve subjects

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether prior exposure to A/H2N2 viruses is associated with better antibody (part of the immune system that fights infection) responses after vaccination with an A/H9N2 flu vaccine. The study will evaluate how much antibody is made to the influenza virus after H9N2 flu vaccination and how the body reacts to different strengths of the H9N2 flu vaccine. This information may guide vaccine development for this virus as well as other bird flu viruses that have infected humans. Study participants will include 120 healthy subjects, age 18-38 or 44-59 years. Two different dosages of vaccine will be given in the muscle of the upper arm about 1 month apart. The assignment of vaccines to participants is governed by chance. Study procedures may include medical history, physical exam, and blood samples. Study participation duration is about 7 months.

The purpose of this study were to obtain additional evidence in support of the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) vaccine in an elderly population, and to establish non-inferiority of the immunogenicity of the rHA vaccine when compared with a licensed trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV). Another purpose was to provide a preliminary estimate of the relative efficacy of the two vaccines against culture-positive influenza-like illness during the subsequent epidemic.
