Active clinical trials for "Meningitis"

This study is aimed at assessing the safety and immunogenicity of different doses and formulations of a new Novartis Meningococcal B Recombinant Vaccine.

The proposed study was aimed to assess the immunogenicity, safety, tolerability and lot to lot consistency of 3 lots of Novartis Meningococcal B vaccine when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines.

This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of the Novartis Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with Tdap and HPV vaccinations to healthy adolescents

Haemophilus influenzae is an important pathogen which can cause primary infection and respiratory viral infection in infants and leaded to secondary infections. The infection of haemophilus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and children. At present, the developed conjugant Hib vaccine is proved to be safe and effective. Because Hib vaccine can prevent meningitis, pneumonia, epiglottis inflammation and other serious infection caused by Hib bacteria, the WHO suggested that Hib vaccine should be included in the infant's normal immune programming. Since the use of meningitis aureus polysaccharide vaccine, incidence of a disease in recent years is declined and maintain to the level of 0.5 per 1/100 thousand. But meningitis aureus polysaccharide vaccine with a relatively poor immune response in the infants under the age of two, and the remaining 60% with a low antibody level and a short duration. The immunogenicity and safety of this vaccine has been proved in older children aged 6-23 months and 2-5 years. And in the phase I study which was conducted in February, 2012, the safety profile of this vaccine is proved to be acceptable in infants aged 3-5 months. The phase III study is aimed to further evaluate the safety and the immunization of the vaccine. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of the group A, C polysaccharide meningococcal and type b haemophilus influenzal conjugate vaccine.

This is a modified single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, comparative, multicenter study to test Menactra vaccine in toddlers. Primary Objectives: To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) vaccine when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccine (PCV) when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. Observational Objectives: Safety - To describe the safety profile throughout the course of the study from Day 0 up to 6 months after the last study vaccination[s]) in subjects in the study groups. Immunogenicity: - To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, 30 days after the first and second Menactra vaccine administration in a subset of subjects in the first study group.

This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of the Novartis Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with routine infant vaccinations to healthy infants.

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety of two injections of Menactra® Vaccine in subjects at 9 months and at 12 months of age when the second dose is given concomitantly with other pediatric vaccines routinely administered in the US. Safety Objective: To describe the safety profile of two doses of Menactra® Vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to define the safety profile of rituximab given intrathecally in lymphomatous meningitis related to CD20+ non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of a novel mRNA diagnostic/prognostic classifier (interprets the expression of 29 host response mRNA biomarkers) from whole blood in adult patients presenting to emergency departments (ED) with suspected infection.

Antibody deficiencies and complement deficiencies are the most frequent Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) in adults, and are associated with greatly increased susceptibility to recurrent and/or severe bacterial infections - especially upper and lower respiratory tract infections and meningitis. The literature data suggest that PIDs are under-diagnosed in adults. The current European and US guidelines advocate screening adults for PIDs if they present recurrent benign especially upper and lower respiratory tract infections, or if they have experienced at least two severe bacterial infections and/or have a recurrent need for intravenous antibiotics. The objective of the demonstrate the interest of PIDs screening in adult patients who present such recurrent infections and/or after the first severe bacterial infection, especially when the patients do not present with known, etiologically relevant comorbidities.
