Active clinical trials for "Meningitis, Meningococcal"

To determine the persistence of protective antibody levels for subjects who seroconverted after vaccination with NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT™ Participants in trial # JN-NM-002, who seroconverted for serogroups A and C will be contacted and asked to provide a blood sample at 12-24 months after vaccination with NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT. Serum Bactericidal Assays will be performed to evaluated duration of protective antibody titer for NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT for all four serogroups. To determine if subjects who seroconverted with lower titers retain protective levels of antibody (titer ≥:8) at 12-24 months after vaccination.

The aim of this study is to generate local data on the safety of Menactra® in individuals 2 to 55 years of age in the Russian Federation. Primary Objective: To describe the safety profile after 1 dose of Menactra® administered in individuals 2-55 years of age under standard health care practices.

To evaluate Immunogenicity and Safety of Adjuvant and Adjuvant-Free Meningococcal Groups A and C and Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine in Infants 2 to 5 Months of Age. Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C and Haemophilus influenzae type b following the administration of adjuvant-free MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine compared to those observed following the administration of adjuvant MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine. To describe the safety profile of adjuvant-free MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine compared to that of adjuvant MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine. Secondary objective: •To compare the antibody level of meningococcal serogroups A, C and Haemophilus influenzae type b following the administration of adjuvant-free MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine to those observed following the administration of adjuvant MenAC-Hib conjugate vaccine.

TYPE / DESIGN STUDY: Clinical trial phase II / III, randomized, double-blind, national multi-center, with a total of 1,644 research participants stratified into 3 groups according to age for starting of the primary vaccination schedule (Stratum I - 11 to 19 years, Stratum II - 1 to 10 years; Stratum III - less than 1 year old). BACKGROUND / STUDY CASE: Clinical trial phase II / III, which purpose is to evaluate immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of the vaccine against meningococcus C, conjugated to tetanus toxoid, developed by Bio-Manguinhos / FIOCRUZ (MenCC-Bio). The hypothesis of the study is that MenCC-BIO vaccine is safe and not inferior in terms of immunogenicity to the comparator vaccine currently available for the National Immunization Program in the child's immunization schedule. Thus, MenCC-Bio vaccine may meet the need for expansion of the target age group of vaccination in routine public health services and will be available to the National Immunization Program as a strategy to ensure sustainability and self-sufficiency to vaccination policy. OBJECTIVES PRIMARY: To assess the immunogenicity of MenCC Bio-vaccine in patients from 3 months to 19 years of age, in relation to the vaccine against meningococcus C currently provided by the National Immunization Program. To evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of MenCC Bio-vaccine in patients from 3 months to 19 years old. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the cellular immune component to meningococcal C conjugate vaccine in a subset of survey participants, aged 11 to 19 years. STUDY POPULATION: Individuals of both sexes, healthy, aged between 3 months and 19 years, attending the campus of Fiocruz / Rio de Janeiro, or municipal health units in Rio de Janeiro (living in areas covered by the municipal units health participants) that fit in the study eligibility criteria. NUMBER OF CENTRES: Two Clinical sites. STUDY DURATION: Estimate of 19 months. INTERVENTION / TREATMENT: Two intervention groups (MenCC-BIO Vaccine and Comparator) in three age groups, with specific vaccination schedules. For the age groups I and II are applied 2 doses ideal interval of 6 months between them. In stratum III, are recommended 3 doses of the vaccine, at ages 3, 5 and 12 months of age, according to calendar of the National Immunization Program. OUTCOMES PRIMARY: Immunogenicity: Proportion of seroconversion defined by the seronegative status change (titles of bactericidal antibodies in children rabbit complement than 1: 8) to seropositive (titers of bactericidal antibodies in larger rabbit complement or equal to 1: 8) or increase 4 times of post vaccinal compared to pre-vacianais after the full vaccination schedule by age stratum. Geometric mean antibody titers (TGM) pre- and post-vaccination, for each vaccine group, and the ratio of these securities after the full vaccination schedule by age stratum. Safety and reactogenicity: Frequency and intensity of adverse events solicited and unsolicited, which occurred 30 days after vaccination. SECONDARY OUTCOME : cell detection B (CD19 +) memory phenotype (CD27 + IgD +, CD27 + IgD) in a subgroup of patients in the age stratum I (11-19 years old). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION age escalation, with interim analysis of inter-layer security and approval by the Security Independent Monitoring Committee of progression to the next lower age stratum.

This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of co-administration of vaccinations for meningitis B (Bexsero®) and meningitis ACWY (Menveo®) in adults and children aged 10-45 years living with HIV. All participants will be vaccinated with both Menveo® and Bexsero® on days 0 and 30. Immunogenicity will be determined on venous blood sampled at days 0 and 60. Adverse effects will be recorded to evaluate safety.

This study is part of a series of projects to improve protection against meningitis. Previously, researchers have given nose drops containing N. lactamica to over 400 volunteers and shown that many of them become colonised with N. lactamica without causing any illness or disease. This has previously been shown to prevent people from becoming colonised with N. meningitidis which can cause meningitis. This study aims to give nose drops containing N. lactamica to healthy adults in Mali, to see if they become safely colonised. In the future the study team would like to find out how N.lactamica helps children resist N.meningitidis, and develop new vaccines that exploit that mechanism.

The purpose of this study is to determine when a memory immune response after re-vaccination with Meningococcal C conjugate vaccine (Menjugate) or challenge with Meningococcal A/C polysaccharide vaccine can be observed, after initial vaccination with Meningococcal C conjugate vaccine during the UK immunization campaign

As Covid 19 manifestations that have been recently described, inflammatory manifestation have major impact in infectious disease lesions. Some of them are delayed and provide Post infectious inflammatory reaction (PIIR), they are challenging for diagnosis and for management. Clinician have to avoid unnecessary antibiotic thearapy and in if necessary have to give immunosuppressive therapy. Except for rheumatic disease for group A streptococcus (GAS) infections there are not stanrdized diagnostic criteria and therapeutic protocol, and PIIR have probably a suboptimal management. In this context the investigators aim to explore PIIR in the 3 most frequent bacterial invasive infection in France, by a retrospective monocentric study. The investigators include all children betwwen 2012 and 2018 hospitalized for infections by Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP), Neisseria meningitidis (NM), and GAS invasive infections.
