Active clinical trials for "Poliomyelitis"

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability (primary objective), immunogenicity (primary and secondary objectives), fecal shedding of vaccine viruses (secondary objective) and the potential for neurovirulence of shed virus (secondary objective) of a novel oral polio type 3 vaccine, nOPV3, as compared to Sabin monovalent type 3 vaccine controls (mOPV3), in healthy young children (192 subjects), infants (860 subjects), and neonates (480 subjects).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of different doses of candidate hexavalent vaccine in comparison to co-administration of Pentavalent vaccine and Poliomyelitis Vaccine (Inactivated) in separate injections at four weeks after completion of three-dose primary series at 6-10-14 weeks of age when administered to healthy infants and thereby to select the optimal dose of candidate vaccine(Stage 1) and to demonstrate lot-to-lot consistency of three lots of LBVD (Stage 2)

The study will compare the poliovirus type-2 pharyngeal mucosal excretion in the first week, and at 2 and 4 weeks following the administration of a challenge novel OPV2 (nOPV2) dose at 18 weeks of age in 2 parallel groups of infants

People with disabilities are less physically active than the general population. At present, the physical activity level of people with poliomyelitis sequelae and their barriers to physical activity are unknown. The aim of this study is to describe the physical activity level of people with poliomyelitis sequelae and their barriers to physical activity.

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group clinical trial with adaptive dose selection in subjects with post-polio syndrome (PPS). The main purpose of this study is to select a dose of Flebogamma 5% DIF and confirm the efficacy of the selected Flebogamma® 5% DIF dose by assessing physical performance, as measured by Two-Minute Walk Distance (2MWD) test. The study will consist of 2 stages, with each stage consisting of a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a treatment period (52 weeks), and a follow-up period (24 weeks).

The study will specifically evaluate the potential of the C-Brace to improve the functional mobility and quality of life in individuals with lower extremity impairments due to neurologic or neuromuscular disease, orthopedic disease or trauma, as compared to the stance control orthosis.

Foot drop deformity is a life limiting condition characterized by loss of ankle dorsiflexion and eversion. Main condition leading to drop foot condition include irrecoverable muscle and nerve injuries, poliomyelitis, drug poisoning, strokes, cerebral palsy, Charcot - Marie - Tooth disease, meningomyelocele, club foot, Friedreich's ataxia and Leprosy (1-4). Anterior transposition of Posterior tibialis tendon (PTT) is the gold standard for surgical restoration of functional dorsiflexion of a permanently paralyzed foot (1, 4-10). Two methods of rerouting the posterior tibialis tendon have been reported, one through the interosseous membrane i.e. Interosseous route (7, 10) and second subcutaneously around the medial side of tibia i.e. Extramembranous or circumtibial route (11-13). Both these techniques have been widely described in literature (4-16) and are being extensively used in surgical management of foot drop. The selection of technique depends on surgeon choice and patient factors. There is a clinical equipoise with regards to these two techniques of Tibialis posterior tendon transfer and through our study we aim to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of these two techniques. There are no studies in literature which compare the clinical and functional outcomes with regards to both these methods. Although there are many studies to demonstrate the functional and clinical effectiveness of the respective procedures, there is a paucity of clinical trials comparing these two surgical techniques with regards to clinical and functional outcomes. Furthermore there are no head to head clinical trials to compare the outcomes with regards to these two methods of Tibialis Posterior tendon transfer (Medline search dated 03/03/ 2012) we propose to compare the clinical and functional outcomes with regards to the two techniques i.e extra membranous and Interosseous technique of Tibialis Posterior tendon transfer performed in patients with foot drop as a result of nerve palsy. Through our prospective randomized trial we aim to answer the research question, whether one method has any superior outcome over the other?

This study was conducted on the basis of "Safety Observation of Sabin Strain Inactivated Polio Vaccine (Vero Cell) on primary Immunization, Booster Immunization and Simultaneous Vaccination with Other Vaccines in Infants and Young Children(ID: PRO-sIPV-MA4001-JX). Blood samples were collected in about 200 qualified subjects 1-9 months after their last vaccination of sIPV. And immunogenicity of sIPV and other vaccines simultaneously administrated will be tested, the antibodies against enterovirus (including EV71、CA16、CA6 and CA10) will also be tested.

This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' GSK2202083A vaccine given as a three-dose vaccination course at 3, 5 and 11 months of age.

The purpose of this study is to select the optimal antigen dosage of the three Sabin poliovirus strains (types 1, 2, and 3) entering the composition of the stand-alone trivalent Sabin-based inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (sIPV) to take forward into advanced stage studies. The selection will be carried out comparing the three sIPV study arms based on the safety and tolerability profile after each dose of primary immunization and the immune response to poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 for both Sabin and Salk strains, after the final dose of a three dose primary immunization series (Day 85).
