Active clinical trials for "Influenza, Human"

This study will determine if oseltamivir (Tamiflu(Registered Trademark)) is safe and effective given less frequently than the currently prescribed dose of twice a day for 5 days to people who have the flu, and once a day for up to 6 weeks in people who have been exposed to someone else with flu and want to prevent getting it themselves. This study will see if the drug can be given once every other day instead of daily if given with another medication called probenecid (Benemid(Registered Trademark) or Probalan(Registered Trademark)). Healthy people 18 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the following regimens for 2 weeks: 1) 75 milligrams (mg) of oseltamivir once a day; 2) 75 mg of oseltamivir once every other day plus 500 mg probenecid four times a day; or 3) 75 mg of oseltamivir once every other day plus 500 mg probenecid twice a day. All medications are taken by mouth. On study day 0, subjects have the following baseline procedures: measurement of vital signs, review of medical and medication history, physical examination, blood draw and urine test. They also receive the first dose of oseltamivir or oseltamivir and probenecid. In addition, they undergo the following procedures as follows: Days 1 and 4: Vital signs; review of clinical symptoms, side effects and medications taken; urine testing and blood draw. Day 8: Same as day 1 plus count of study medication. Day 14: Same as day 8 plus pharmacokinetic study to measure the amount of oseltamivir and probenecid in the blood. For this test, a catheter is inserted into an arm vein and blood samples are collected through the catheter before taking the study medications, at the time the medications are taken, and again at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours after the medication is taken. The catheter is then removed. This is the last day to take the study medication. Day 15: Blood draw for 24-hour (post medication) blood sample. Day 16: Blood draw for 48-hour (post medication) blood sample. Days 21 and 28: Same as day 1.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate dose-related safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of FluBlok trivalent recombinant baculovirus-expressed hemagglutinin influenza vaccine, administered to healthy children aged 6 to 59 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and the safety of a second vaccination with candidate vaccine compared to Fluarix™ administered intramuscularly in elderly aged 60 years and above

The objectives of the study are to assess the immunogenicity and safety among three different lots of the inactivated influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell-derived) at Day 21 and Day 180 after vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to compare two flu vaccines to determine their safety and ability to stimulate an immune response in HIV infected children and adolescents. This study will also determine how often and how long people who receive a vaccine are able to spread flu vaccine virus to other people.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of DTPw-HBV/Hib-MenAC compared to DTPw-HBV/Hib given to healthy subjects at 15 to 24 months of age primed with 3 doses of Tritanrix-HepB/Hib-MenAC in study 100480. Antibody persistence will be evaluated at 24 to 30 months. Immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a dose of Mencevax ACWY given at 24 to 30 months will also be evaluated when given to subjects not boosted with a MenA conjugate and/or MenC containing vaccine.

Influenza vaccine uptake remains low worldwide, inflicting substantial costs to public health and health systems. Messages promoting social welfare have been shown to increase vaccination intentions, and it has been recommended that health professionals communicate the socially beneficial aspects of vaccination. This study aims to provide the first test whether this prosocial vaccination hypothesis applies to the actual vaccination behaviour of high-risk patients by comparing the effects of two motivational messages for promoting vaccination at a tertiary care public hospital in Istanbul, Turkey.

The primary objectives of the study were: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response in terms of geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates of the SP Shz QIV compared with the SP Shz TIV containing the Victoria lineage strain (TIV1) and the SP Shz TIV containing the Yamagata lineage strain (TIV2) for each strain To describe the safety profile of each dosage of SP Shz QIV, TIV1 or TIV2 The secondary objectives of the study were: Group 1 (subjects 6-35 months): To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response of SP Shz QIV compared to TIV2 or TIV1 group after the last dose; demonstrate the superiority of the immune response of the 0.5 mL dose of SP Shz QIV compared to 0.25 mL dose of SP Shz QIV group after the last dose; describe the immune response after administration of the last dose of either SP Shz QIV or SP Shz TIV1 or SP Shz TIV2. Groups 2 through 5 (subjects ≥ 3 years): To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response of SP Shz QIV compared to TIV2 or TIV1 group after a single dose; describe the immune response after each and every dose for all subjects ≥ 3 years of either SP Shz QIV or SP Shz TIV1 or SP Shz TIV2 Group 2 (subjects 3 to 8 years), previously unvaccinated ,receiving SP Shz QIV: To describe the immune response after administration of each dose of SP Shz QIV, first dose and second dose of SP Shz QIV respectively Group 5 (subjects ≥ 65 years only): To assess the compliance, in terms of immunogenicity, of SP Shz QIV with the requirements of the CHMP NfG CPMP/BWP/214/96 in subjects aged 65 years or older. To describe the safety profile of SP Shz QIV 0.5 mL after each dose.

The primary objectives of the study are: To describe the safety profile of the different formulations in all participants To describe the hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) and seroneutralization (SN) antibody responses against hemagglutinin (H1, H3, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata) antigens present in the control vaccine in all groups at all timepoints. The secondary objectives are: To describe antigenic coverage in each group by assessing the HAI and SN antibody responses against a panel of H3 antigens (not present in any of the vaccine formulations). To describe SN antibody responses in each group against each of the H3 antigens. To compare H3 HAI and SN antibody responses for the groups with quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) formulations with H3 antigens to those of the quadrivalent RIV control group. To compare the HAI and SN antibody responses for the groups with quadrivalent RIV formulation with adjuvant to the group without adjuvant.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEDI8852 for the treatment of influenza caused by a wild type A/H1N1 challenge strain in healthy, influenza serosusceptible adults.
