Active clinical trials for "Tetanus"

The purpose of this study is to collect additional immunogenicity and safety data on re-dosing with Tdap vaccine (ADACEL®) in a continuing effort to address the public health need to establish broader population immunity against pertussis, as well as diphtheria and tetanus. Primary Objective: To assess immune response to Tdap vaccine (ADACEL®) one month after booster vaccination.

The objective of this study is to compare the Safety and Immunogenicity of a mixed sequence of 2 different pentavalent vaccines (Diphtheria-Tetanus- Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Hib combination Vaccines) with single sequence of Shan 5 in infants.

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to generate immunogenicity data with one formulation of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine after the primary vaccination course and to demonstrate non-inferiority of this vaccine as compared to two formulations of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine with respect to the anti-PRP antibody response. Additionally to assess the reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' DTPw-HBV/Hib vaccine. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

Currently, there is no 5-component acellular pertussis vaccine licensed for the 5th dose in US children aged 4 to 6 years.This study is aimed at providing evidence of sero-protection, booster response and safety of this formulation as a 5th dose. Primary Objective: - To compare the immune responses of Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine to Diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine (all antigens) when each is administered as a 5th dose and given concurrently, to children aged 4 to 6 years. Secondary/Observational Objectives: To compare the immune responses for pertussis antigens of Tdap Vaccine to DTaP vaccine (for pertussis antigens) when each is administered as a 5th dose and given concurrently, to children aged 4 to 6 years. To present the long-term immunogenicity at 1-, 3-, and 5-years post-vaccination after each long-term follow-up. To describe the safety profile following vaccine administration.

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.

Data from this study are expected to demonstrate that V501 (Human Papillomavirus (HPV) [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine) , when administered concomitantly with a combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (Tdap) vaccine and a meningococcal conjugate vaccine in adolescents remains immunogenic and well-tolerated and it does not impair the immunogenicity of the concomitant vaccines.

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 purpose of this study is to learn whether or not giving a tetanus/diphtheria vaccination ("tetanus shot") before giving pneumococcal vaccine makes the pneumococcal vaccine more effective without causing too many side effects.
