Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

This study will assess both the antibody persistence of the investigational vaccine and the immune response and safety of a booster dose of PENTAXIM™ vaccine in 18 months-old toddlers who participated in an earlier study in order to determine if they are still protected before they receive a booster dose of D, T, IPV, pertussis or Hib vaccines and also to assess the quality of the induced immune memory in response to a booster dose of the same vaccine as in the primary series. Primary Objective: To describe the antibody persistence at 18 months of age and the booster effect of a dose of PENTAXIM™ on immunogenicity. Secondary objective: To describe the safety profile of the booster dose PENTAXIM™ in each vaccine group defined by the vaccines received during the primary series.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of Pediacel® in infants and toddlers when given at 2,3,4 and 12-18 months of age. Primary Objectives: To compare the post-dose 3 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both are co-administered with Prevenar®. To describe the post-dose 3 pertussis antibody responses. Secondary Objectives: To compare the post-dose 4 immunogenicity of Pediacel® to Infanrix®-IPV+Hib when both are co-administered with Prevenar®. To describe the safety after each vaccination following co-administration with Prevenar®.

The purpose of this study is to support the registration of the pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T vaccine in countries that follow the World Health Organization-Expanded Program of Immunization (WHO-EPI) schedule. The primary objective is: To demonstrate that the pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine does not induce a lower immune response than Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ in terms of the seroprotection rate to hepatitis B (HB) one month after a 3-dose primary series at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. The secondary objectives are: To describe in each group the immunogenicity parameters one month after the 3-dose primary series at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age; and To evaluate the overall safety in terms of any adverse events in the first 28 days after each injection and any serious adverse events during the entire trial.

The objective of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the DTaP-IPV combination vaccine compared with those of separate DTaP and IPV vaccines administered to healthy infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age.

The aim of the study is to further characterize the safety and immunogenicity of Menactra® in the population <2 years of age when administered alone and when the second dose is administered concomitantly with the 4th dose of Pentacel®, a licensed pediatric vaccine. Primary Objectives: To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 induced by 2 injections of Menactra® in subjects aged 9 months at the first vaccination visit and 15 to 18 months at the second vaccination visit. To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to Pertussis (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA] and pertactin [PRN]) antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® administered alone. To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP), tetanus and diphtheria antigens induced by a dose of Pentacel® when administered concomitantly with Menactra® to those elicited by a dose of Pentacel® alone. Observational Objectives: To describe the safety profile (immediate unsolicited AEs within 30 minutes of each trial vaccination, solicited reactions within 7 days of each vaccination, unsolicited AEs within 30 days of each vaccination, and serious adverse events [SAEs] throughout the course of the trial from Day 0 up to Day 30 after the last trial vaccination[s]) in all trial groups To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, measured by SBA HC, 30 days after the second Menactra® administration To describe the antibody responses to Pentacel® (PT, FHA, PRN, FIM, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, PRP) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), or functional assays.

This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine (ADACEL®, Tdap vaccine) as a booster dose in adolescents in Japan. Primary Objective: To assess the immunogenicity of Tdap (SP306) when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents Secondary Objective: To assess the safety of Tdap vaccine when administered as a single dose in Japanese adolescents.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 9 different vaccines containing aP (acellular pertussis) and TdaP (acellular pertussis, tetanus and diphtheria) in healthy subjects 18 to 40 years of age.

This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of the BPZE1 live attenuated pertussis vaccine, intended to prevent nasopharyngeal colonization and pertussis disease, and compares a single (prime) BPZE1 dose or BPZE1 2-dose (prime + boost) to a single (prime) Boostrix or Boostrix prime + BPZE1 boost.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity of BK1310 for all antigens (anti-PRP, diphtheria toxin, pertussis, tetanus toxin, and polio virus), after 3 times of injection, when compared noninferiority with co-administration of ActHIB® and Tetrabik, as well as efficacy and safety, in healthy infants.

This study aims to investigate the effects of aP booster vaccination in children, young adults and elderly on the (long-term) immune response to B. pertussis in three European countries with a different epidemiological background and primary vaccination schedule for pertussis.
