Active clinical trials for "Virus Diseases"

The purpose of this first time in human (FTiH) study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of 2 doses of the RSV investigational vaccine, when administered intramuscularly according to a 0, 1 month schedule, in healthy adults aged 18 to 45 years.

This is a clinical trial in which healthy volunteers will be administered two experimental Ebola vaccines: ChAd3-EBO Z and MVA-EBO Z. Two groups of volunteers will be vaccinated with both vaccines one after the other in a prime/boost regimen. All ChAd3-EBO Z doses are 2.5 x 10^10 - 3.7 x 10^10 vp and all MVA-EBO Z doses are 1.0 x 10^8 pfu. All volunteers will receive a ChAd3-EBO Z priming vaccine and a MVA-EBO Z boosting vaccine 7 days later. The site of administration of the MVA-EBO Z vaccine differs between the two groups: Group 1 will receive the MVA-EBO Z vaccine in the same arm as the ChAd3-EBO Z vaccine. Group 2 will receive the MVA-EBO Z vaccine in the opposite arm from the ChAd3-EBO Z vaccine. The study will assess the safety of the vaccinations, and the immune responses to vaccination. Immune responses are measured by tests on blood samples. The ChAd3-EBO Z and MVA-EBO Z vaccines are called viral vectored vaccines. They are made from viruses which are modified so that they cannot multiply. The viruses have extra DNA in them so that after injection, the body makes Ebola proteins (but Ebola does not develop), so that the immune system builds a response to Ebola without having been infected by it. Healthy volunteers will be recruited in Dakar, Senegal. The study will be funded by GSK.

Administration of DPX-RSV(A), a Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccine containing Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) SHe antigen and DepoVaxTM adjuvant to healthy adults ≥50-64 years of age.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of a single IM dose of the GSK3390107A (ChAd3 EBO-Z) vaccine, overall and in children aged 1 to 5, 6 to 12, and 13 to 17 years, separately. Considering the risk of exposure to Ebola and the potential (based on animal data) for the investigational GSK3390107A (ChAd3-EBO-Z) vaccine to afford at least partial protection, all children in the study will receive the investigational GSK3390107A (ChAd3 EBO-Z) vaccine. The children in the Group GSK3390107A+Nimenrix will receive the investigational GSK3390107A (ChAd3-EBO-Z) vaccine at Day 0 of the study, whereas the children in the Group Nimenrix+GSK3390107A will receive Nimenrix at Day 0 (as a control). At Month 6, the children in the Group Nimenrix+GSK3390107A will receive the investigational GSK3390107A (ChAd3-EBO-Z) vaccine (provided that no safety concerns are raised), whereas the children in the Group GSK3390107A+Nimenrix will receive Nimenrix.

This is a single center, open, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial. This study will determine the safety and side-effect profile, and immunogenicity of an investigational Ad5-EBOV vaccine in Healthy Adult Africans aged between 18-60 years in China.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate efficacy of prophylactic Ingavirin intake by people having contact with sick people infected with influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections

Patients enrolled on this study will have received a stem cell transplant. After a transplant, while the immune system grows back the patient is at risk for infection. Some viruses can stay in the body for life, and if the immune system is weakened (like after a transplant), they can cause life-threatening infections. BK virus (BKV) is a virus that can cause serious life-threatening infections in patients who have weak immune systems. It affects the urinary tract, and can cause frequent urination, blood in the urine, and severe pain. Investigators want to see if they can use a kind of white blood cell called T cells to treat BKV infections that occur after a transplant. Investigators have observed in other studies that treatment with specially trained T cells has been successful when the cells are made from the transplant donor. However as it takes 1-2 months to make the cells, that approach is not practical when a patient already has an infection. Investigators have now generated BKV-specific T cells from the blood of healthy donors and created a bank of these cells. Investigators have previously successfully used frozen virus-specific T cell lines generated from healthy donors to treat virus infections after bone marrow transplant, and have now improved the production method and customized the bank of lines to specifically and exclusively target BKV. In this study, investigators want to find out if the banked BKV-specific T cells derived from healthy donors are safe and can help to treat BK virus infection. The BKV-specific T cells (Viralym-B) are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The safety and immunogenicity of high dose influenza vaccine has not been studied in young patients receiving chemotherapy. This study will evaluate and compare the immunogenicity and safety of high dose influenza to standard dose influenza vaccine in adult oncology patients who are younger than 65 years old receiving chemotherapy.

This trial will be a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind (within dosing group), dose escalation phase 1 trial, evaluating dosages of 1 mcg and 4 mcg of HydroVax-001 WNV vaccine given intramuscularly on Day 1 and Day 29 in up to 50 healthy adults > /=18 and < 50 years of age. The primary objective is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and tolerability of the HydroVax-001 WNV vaccine administered intramuscularly in a two-dose series on Days 1 and 29 at a dose of 1 mcg or a dose of 4 mcg.

The objective of this study is to assess the benefit and tolerability of a probiotic product in subjects with increased susceptibility to common cold.
