Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

The primary objectives of this study are: To describe the safety profile of each of the investigational vaccine formulations for all participants To describe the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to all of the investigational vaccine formulations To evaluate the dose response to vaccine components To describe the magnitude, quality, and longevity of immune responses to each of the investigational vaccine formulations

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of repeat administration of Adacel vaccine approximately 10 years following initial administration of the vaccine. Antibody levels prior to revaccination will also be used to characterize antibody persistence following initial vaccination 10 years earlier. Primary Objectives: To compare seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel vaccine to those induced by Td Adsorbed vaccine. To compare booster response rates against tetanus and diphtheria induced by Adacel vaccine to those induced by Td Adsorbed vaccine. To compare anti-pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) induced by Adacel vaccine to the GMCs induced by Daptacel® vaccine given to infants. Secondary Objectives: To describe the rates of immediate reactions, solicited reactions, unsolicited adverse events (AEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Td Adsorbed vaccine. To describe booster response rates for pertussis antigens following revaccination with Adacel vaccine.

Primary objectives: To demonstrate that REPEVAX and VAXIGRIP administered concomitantly in subjects 60 years of age and older are at least as immunogenic as REPEVAX or VAXIGRIP administered separately. Secondary objectives: •Secondary immunogenicity objectives: To describe the immune responses 28 days after concomitant or separate administration of REPEVAX and VAXIGRIP in subjects 60 years of age and older To describe the immune response of VAXIGRIP according to European Medicines Agency criteria in subjects 60 years of age and older (Note for Guidance, 1997: 28) •Secondary safety objective: To describe the safety profile after vaccination in each group

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a new live attenuated vaccine against whooping-cough. It is a phase1, single centre, dose-escalating, placebo-controlled study on a genetically modified B. pertussis strain given as a single intranasal dose to healthy adult male volunteers. Effective vaccines are needed to protect young infants (from 0 to 6 months, today the most vulnerable age group), preferably after a single administration very early in life. The successful outcome of this project would constitute an important milestone towards nasal vaccination of infants, possibly at birth with a novel, single-dose pertussis vaccine. Our ultimate aim is to protect infants in the most vulnerable age group, before the regular vaccination schedule using already available vaccines is applied. The ultimate aim is thus not to replace current vaccination schedules with available vaccines, but to add a first nasal vaccination to protect very early in life.

The present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccines as a three-dose primary vaccination at 2, 4 and 6 months of age compared to commercially available vaccines in order to meet the requirements for registration of the product in South Korea. Primary objective To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/vaccine response rates to Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccine versus commercially available Biken's DTaP (CJ purified PDT vaccine ™) and Aventis Pasteur's IPV (IMOVAX POLIO) monovalent vaccines, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination. Secondary objectives Immunogenicity: To assess the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion / vaccine response rates to Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV combined vaccine versus historical reference (Study E2I03294 - France). To assess and describe the immunogenicity of the study vaccines in both groups. Safety: To assess and describe the safety of the study vaccines after each dose.

This is a study to compare the safety and immune response of a pentavalent DTaP-HB-PRP~T combined vaccine with Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™, when both are given concomitantly with OPV at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age.

GSK Biologicals' dTpa vaccine has recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for booster vaccination of adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. The ACIP has recently issued provisional recommendations for universal adult Tdap vaccination. The current study will provide pivotal data in support of extending the age range for Boostrix vaccine to include adults 19-64 years of age.

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and immunogenicity of a combination vaccine that includes tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap). The study will be conducted in 48 pregnant women and 32 non-pregnant women. Safety of the newborn infant and the effect of the mother's vaccination on the infants' immune responses prior to vaccinating infants with another combination vaccine to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis will be evaluated. Participants will be 18-45 years old. Pregnant volunteers will be 30-32 weeks pregnant and at a low risk for pregnancy complications. Pregnant volunteers will receive 2 injections (1 vaccine and 1 placebo, inactive substance); non-pregnant volunteers will receive 1 injection of vaccine. Blood samples will be collected from the mother and infant, along with the baby's growth measurements. Participation for mother infant pairs is about 15 months and about 7 months for non-pregnant women.

This study was designed to assess the lot comparability of DAPTACEL, as well as the safety and immunogenicity of DAPTACEL when co-administered with other recommended infant vaccines. Stage I Primary Objectives: To assess the lot-comparability of immunogenicity of DAPTACEL by when co-administered with other recommended vaccines. To compare the immune response to DTaP-IPV/Hib (Pentacel) with those of three lots of DAPTACEL when co-administered with other recommended vaccines. To compare the immune response of PRP-T antigen in Pentacel with that of ActHIB concurrently administered in a different injection site with DAPTACEL when these vaccines are co-administered with other recommended vaccines. Stage II Primary Objectives: To compare the immune response of DAPTACEL when the 4th dose is co-administered with Hib or other infant vaccines. To compare the the immune response of Pentacel with those elicited by DAPTACEL when co-administered with ActHIB in toddlers.

The present trial is a follow-up of AL203 study (NCT00343889). Primary Objectives: To describe the antibody persistence at 15 to 18 months of age and the booster effect of a dose of DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ (given concomitantly with Oral Polio Vaccine [OPV]). Secondary Objective: To describe the safety profile of a booster dose of DTaP-HB-PRP~T or Tritanrix-HepB/Hib™ when administered concomitantly with OPV in each vaccine group.
