Active clinical trials for "Virus Diseases"

This was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter Phase 3 clinical study investigating three Lots of VLA1553 at the final dose. Overall 409 healthy subjects aged 18 to 45 years were randomized into the study.

Primary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-EBO-S and cAd3 Marburg vaccines when administered Intramuscular (IM) at a dose of 1 x 10^11 particle units (PU) to healthy adults. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the antibody response to Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus Ebola-S (cAd3-EBO-S) and Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus (Marburg) (cAd3 Marburg) vaccines as assessed by antigen glycoprotein (GP) specific (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA To collect sufficient post-vaccination plasma to support further development of filovirus assays

This is a randomized controlled trial to test a combination behavioral and biomedical interventions to improve the HIV prevention and care cascades in a population of mobile men in a high priority setting (fishermen in Kenya). The intervention strategy is to recruit and train highly socially-connected men to distribute HIV self-tests and provide linkage support to men in their close social networks. The study will determine whether this social network-based approach along with small financial incentives in the form of transport vouchers can increase men's self-testing, linkage to and uptake of ART and PrEP after self-testing, virologic suppression at 6 months (for those initiating ART) and PrEP adherence (for those initiating PrEP) at 6 months. The study includes a longitudinal qualitative and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative assessments) to identify the pathways of intervention action, and understand how the social network-based approach with support for linkage affects testing and ART and PrEP uptake and retention in men.

This Phase 2 study aims to improve preparedness for future Ebola outbreaks by vaccination of a well-known population at risk, ie, a cohort of health care providers (HCP) (such as primary, emergency, and community health care workers) who may be exposed to Ebola in the event of a future outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This study will enhance the immunogenicity database by investigating the kinetics of the humoral immune response. The study will contribute to the safety database (serious adverse events) for VAC52150 following a heterologous vaccine regimen with Ad26.ZEBOV as first vaccine followed by second dose with MVA-BN-Filo administered 56 days later (Day 57). Additionally, after randomization (1:1), a booster vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV will be executed at 1 year post first dose or 2 years post first dose.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a new inactivated EV71 vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech CO., LTD.

This study will determine whether participants who receive V419 (PR5I) at 2, 4, and 11 to 12 months of age have an acceptable response to the vaccine. This study will also determine whether the immune response to V419 is similar to that of participants who received a licensed vaccine control. The primary hypothesis is that participants who receive PR5I at 2, 4, and 11 to 12 months have an acceptable response rate to all PR5I-contained antigens at one month after the Toddler dose of PR5I.

The primary safety objective of this study is to assess the safety of split- virion inactivated H1N1 vaccine with and without adjuvant when administered at the 7.5,15 or 30 mcg dose. The primary immunogenicity objective is to assess the antibody response following each dose of split- virion inactivated A(H1N1) vaccine with and without adjuvant. Participants will include up to 2200 healthy persons age 3 and older who have no history of novel influenza H1N1 2009 infection or novel influenza H1N1 2009 vaccination. This is a randomized, double-blinded, Phase II study in healthy males and non-pregnant females, aged 3 years and older. Subjects will be stratified by elders (equal to or more than 61 years), adults (18-60 years), adolescents (12-17 years) and children (3-11 years), elders and adolescents will be randomized into 5 dose groups (adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 7.5,15 or 30 mcg per dose or non-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 15 or 30 mcg per dose), children will be randomized into 4 dose groups (adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 7.5 or 15 mcg per dose or non-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 15 or 30 mcg per dose), adults will be randomized into 6 dose groups (adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 7.5,15 or 30 mcg per dose or non-adjuvanted H1N1 vaccine of 15 or 30 mcg per dose or placebo), 110 subjects per dose and age stratum will be to receive intramuscular influenza H1N1 vaccine. The H1N1 vaccine will be administered at Day 0 and Day 21. Following immunization, safety will be measured by assessment of adverse events through 21 days following the last vaccination (Day 42 for those receiving both doses), serious adverse events and new-onset chronic medical conditions through 6 months post the final vaccination (Day 180 after second vaccination), and reactogenicity to the vaccine for 8 days (Day 0-7) following each vaccination. Immunogenicity testing will be hemagglutination inhibiting (HAI) on serum obtained on the day 21 of each vaccination (prior to vaccination), on Day 21 after first vaccination, and 21 days following the second vaccination (Day 42).

Recent information appearing from different countries suggest that treatment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with hydroxychloroquine or with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin has either an indifferent effect on viral replication or substantial cardiotoxicity. This is a clinical trial aiming to prove that addition of oral clarithromycin to treatment regimen of COVID-19 is associated with early clinical improvement and attenuation of the high inflammatory burden of the host. The study will not comprise a placebo-comparator group since this is considered inappropriate in an era of a pandemic with substantial global mortality.

This study will test the filtration, air leak, and breathability of a newly designed fully washable mask developed by Dr. Nordell with the Mayo Clinic. This mask is theorized to be a superior alternative to other respirators currently used when one-time-use N95 masks are unavailable.
