Study on an Investigational Yellow Fever Vaccine Compared With Stamaril in Adults in Europe and...
Yellow FeverVYF03 is a phase II, randomized, parallel-group prevention study with 2 arms, active-controlled (Stamaril), observer-blind, multi-center study to assess the non-inferiority of the immune response, in terms of seroconversion rates of the investigational vaccine candidate vYF to the licensed Stamaril, in adults aged 18 years up to 60 years in Europe (EU). The safety and immunogenicity profile of vYF in a cohort of Asian population of Chinese origin outside of China will also be described. The study will also assess the immunogenicity profiles and the safety profiles of vYF and Stamaril. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive a single subcutaneous injection of either the vYF vaccine (380 participants in EU and 80 participants of Chinese origin in Asia) or Stamaril (190 participants in EU and 40 participants of Chinese origin in Asia), on Day 01. The duration of each participant's participation will be approximately 5 years.
Mild-Intensity Whole Body Hyperthermia (WBH) for Major Depressive Disorder
Major Depressive DisorderOverall, the objective of this pilot study is to utilize the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab to prospectively evaluate the role of IL-6 in the antidepressant and immunological effects of whole body hyperthermia (WBH). The study seeks to replicate findings thus far that WBH has an antidepressant effect by administering the intervention at a site not involved in studies to date. Moreover, the current proposal may help the investigators better understand the role of IL-6 in the pathogenesis and treatment of depression which might point to novel immune-based interventions for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Finally, the current proposal holds promise for better understanding of a novel treatment for MDD, which is among the leading causes of health-related disability in the world.

Village Malaria Worker Expansion
Febrile IllnessThis project will conduct pragmatic operational research in rural communities served by approximately 12 health centres and 120 village malaria workers in Battambang/Pailin, western Cambodia. This study is funded by Global Fund/Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI3E). The grant reference number is QSE-M-UNOPS-MORU-20864-007-42
Study on an Investigational Yellow Fever Vaccine Compared With YF-VAX in Adults in the USA
Yellow Fever (Healthy Volunteers)The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response in terms of seroconversion rate 28 days after vaccine administration of one dose of yellow fever vaccine (vYF) compared to the antibody response after one dose of the YF-VAX control vaccine in yellow fever naïve participants. The secondary objectives of the study are: To describe the immune response to yellow fever in both vaccine groups before and after vYF or YF-VAX administration. To describe the safety profile of vYF vaccine in comparison to the safety profile of the control YF-VAX. To describe the biosafety profile of vYF in comparison to the biosafety profile of the control YF-VAX.
Antimicrobial Revision in Persistent Febrile Neutropenia
Febrile NeutropeniaFebrile neutropenia is often seen in patients with hematologic malignancies who receive cytotoxic chemotherapy. These patients are usually placed on posaconazole prophylaxis upon starting chemotherapy. If an episode of febrile neutropenia occurs, generally an anti-pseudomonal beta lactam, like cefepime or piperacillin-tazobactam, is initiated. In patients who continue to fever on these agents, the optimal method of antimicrobial revision has yet to be determined.

Febrile NeutropeniaPharmacokinetics2 moreEvaluating the differences in the efficacy and safety of meropenem optimal dosing regimen predicted by the PPK/PD model combined with MAPB method for patients with malignant hematological myelopathy accompanied by fever, as compared with the current conventional treatment regimen; The visualization software of meropenem individualized medication was developed with the help of JAVA development language, J2EE framework and SQL Server database.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen in the Management of Fever in Sepsis Patients...
SepsisAcetaminophen2 moreThis is a randomized double-blind controlled study with the primary aim of scientifically evaluating the potential effects of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the management of sepsis by comparing their fever-reducing efficacy in septic patients. Sepsis is recognized as a severe form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from severe infections. This study aims to address a significant aspect of fever management in septic patients by objectively assessing the fever-reducing potential of paracetamol and ibuprofen.
