Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

Objectives: To provide safety data on revaccination with ADACEL® vaccine. To describe the immune response to tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis antigens following revaccination with ADACEL® vaccine 4-5 years after first vaccination.

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the safety and efficacy of acellular 2-component vs. acellular multicomponent vs. whole-cell pertussis vaccine vs. placebo in infants living in Sweden. II. Compare the relative protection of each vaccine against atypical or subclinical pertussis infection. III. Analyze possible laboratory correlates to vaccine protection.

The study contains three periods: screening, inpatient hospitalization and follow-up. And should be leaded as a randomized placebo-controlled study with in chain order enrolled volunteers and dose escalating.

This is a phase II, randomized double-center, and observer-blind controlled pilot vaccine trial in 11 to 15 years old healthy subjects to assess the immunogenicity of the genetically detoxified pertussis toxin (rPT) included in a novel acellular pertussis vaccine (Pertagen®) manufactured by BioNet-Asia when delivered by the intramuscular route to adolescents previously primed and boosted with chemically-detoxified PT, along with Td-pur® and in comparison with that of Boostrix® dTpa. At Day 0, eligible volunteers will undergo a venous bleed for the determination of baseline values and enter the randomization scheme, being allocated to one of two groups: A (Pertagen® + Td-pur®), B (Boostrix® dTpa). Randomized participants will receive one dose of Pertagen® and Td-pur® (Group A) or 1 dose of Boostrix® dTpa (Group B) by intramuscular injection in the deltoid. All subjects will be observed in the Plateforme de Recherché Pédiatrique for 30 minutes after immunization. Post-immunization local and systemic reactions will be followed up for 7 days after immunization. Adverse events will be followed for 28 days after immunization. At Day 28, a second visit (study end visit) will take place for safety evaluation and blood draw for immunogenicity evaluation. Blood draws performed on Day 0 (Baseline) and Day 28 will be used to evaluate immune response to study vaccines. The primary statistical analysis will be performed with visit 2 (Day 28) data to compare the immunogenicity and safety of one dose of Pertagen®, given simultaneously with Td-pur®, to those elicited by Boostrix® dTpa.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and inactivated poliovirus (DPT-IPV) vaccine Squarekids administered with or without the GSK Biologicals' liquid Rotarix (HRV) vaccine, in healthy Japanese infants aged 6 - 12 weeks. GSK Biologicals' liquid HRV vaccine Rotarix is licensed in Japan since 2011. Although the concomitant administration of GSK Biologicals' DTP-IPV vaccine has been evaluated during the clinical development of the HRV vaccine, the vaccine differed in composition and route of administration from the DPT-IPV vaccine Squarekids manufactured in Japan. Hence, as requested by the Japanese regulatory authorities, this post-licensure study will evaluate the immunogenicity of the DPT-IPV vaccine manufactured in Japan when co-administered with the liquid HRV vaccine

This was a dose and formulation ranging study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of SP0173 in healthy adolescents, adults, and older adults in the United States (US). Primary Objective To describe the safety profile of each SP0173 investigational formulation. Observational Objective: To describe the immunogenicity of each SP0173 investigational formulation.

This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of DTaP vaccine (BK1301) as a booster dose in adolescents. The purposes of this study are as follows: To confirm the non-inferiority of BK1301 to Adsorbed Diphtheria-Tetanus Combined Toxoid (DT toxoid) with respect to booster responses for anti-diphtheria toxoid (anti-D) and anti-tetanus toxoid (anti-T) antibodies To confirm that booster responses for anti-pertussis toxoid (anti-PT) and anti-Filamentous Hemagglutinin (anti-FHA) antibodies are more than 80% of participants received BK1301

Due to an unexpectedly high number of infant deaths from whooping cough in 2012, the Department of Health acted to protect newborns between birth and completion of primary immunisations, the period with greatest risk of disease. Vaccination of pregnant women with whooping cough vaccine in the third trimester of pregnancy was instigated nationally, so that antibodies produced by the Mum would cross the placenta to the unborn child, giving them passive protection at the most vulnerable time. This antibody transfer has been known for some time but has not been compared between the two whooping cough vaccines being used in pregnancy. Any effect the raised antibody might have on infant responses to the vaccines given in the first few months of life has also not been measured. This is particularly important as the infant immunisations include some of the same components as the whooping cough vaccines, which include diphtheria, tetanus and polio. Previous studies have shown that high levels of antibody prior to vaccination may affect subsequent antibody responses. It is therefore important to assess whether administration of the whooping cough vaccine in pregnancy adversely affects the protection afforded by the infant vaccines, particularly to those which are similar, namely tetanus and diphtheria as well as meningitis C and Hib vaccines which include diptheria and tetanus components in their structures. This study will assess immune responses of mothers and their babies (~200 pairs) to their vaccinations and will allow the comparison of two whooping cough vaccines being used in pregnancy. This will be done by taking small amounts of blood, which is the only way to measure antibody levels (the proxy of the immune response), before and after the vaccinations. A group of unvaccinated women and their babies (50 pairs) will also be recruited to allow comparison of their immune responses.

The purpose of study Td519 is to demonstrate that Adacel® vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed) is safe and immunogenic in persons 10 years of age. Primary Objectives: To compare pertussis antibody responses induced by Adacel® in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age. To compare the booster responses against pertussis antigens induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age. To compare booster responses against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age. Secondary Objective: To compare seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel in persons 10 to <11 years of age to those induced by Adacel in persons 11 to <12 years of age.

This safety surveillance study is being conducted in accordance with Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) Notification No. 2009-46 "Basic standard for reexamination of new drug". The study objective is to assess within 30 days post-administration, the safety of ADACEL™ administered under the real clinical practice.
