Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

The purpose of this study is to determine if 2 doses of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) followed by 1 dose of Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPV) in HIV-infected children on anti-HIV therapy is helpful and safe in fighting pneumococcal infections in this group of children. This study will also look at the protection provided by childhood vaccination against measles, pertussis, and hepatitis B virus. Pneumococcal infections are the most common AIDS-related infection in HIV-infected children. PCV may help reduce the chances of HIV-infected children getting pneumococcal infections. This study will look at whether pneumococcal vaccines are safe and effective in HIV-infected children receiving HAART. It will look at whether HIV-infected children are protected by childhood vaccines received previously and if more doses are safe and improve protection.

Primary Objectives : To describe the long-term humoral immune responses to pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens To determine the effects of the priming regimen on humoral responses to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine To describe the long-term cell-mediated immune responses to pertussis after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens To determine the effects of the priming regimen on cell-mediated immune response to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine Secondary Objective: To describe the safety profile of Tdap-IPV vaccine in each group

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response, safety and reactogenicity after receiving combined DTPa-IPV/Hib vaccine when administered as a three-dose primary vaccination course at 3, 4.5 and 6 months of age and as a booster dose at 18 months of age in Russian healthy children according to the Russian immunisation schedule

The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (Hexaxim®) administered at 2, 3, and 4 months of age and at 16 to 17 months of age in infants and toddlers who received a dose of Hep B vaccine at birth or within 1 week after birth. Primary Objective: To describe the safety profile after each and all doses of Sanofi-Pasteur's DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP-T combined vaccine in Vietnamese infants and toddlers. Secondary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the immune response to all antigens induced by the study vaccine in Vietnamese infants one month after the third dose in a 3-dose primary series with the immune response to all antigens induced by the same study vaccine outside Vietnam. To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine one month after the 3-dose primary series. To describe the persistence of all antibodies before receipt of the booster vaccination. To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine one month after the booster.

This study is designed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of PENTAXIM™ combined vaccine versus TETRAXIM™ vaccine to support registration of PENTAXIM™ in South Korea. Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3, Polyribosyl Ribitol Phosphate [PRP]) and vaccine response rates to acellular Pertussis antigens of sanofi pasteur's PENTAXIM™ vaccine versus sanofi pasteur's TETRAXIM™ and Act (Haemophilus influenzae type b) HIB™ vaccines, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of ACTACEL combined vaccine in support of registration of this product in China Primary Objectives: To demonstrate that ACTACEL vaccine administered at 2, 3 and 4 months of age or at 3, 4 and 5 months of age is not inferior, in terms of seroprotection, to Wuhan's Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis (DTaP) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Act-HIB) vaccine given concomitantly, for diphtheria, tetanus, and Polyribosyl Ribitol Phosphate (PRP) antigens, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination. To demonstrate the superiority, in terms of seroconversion, of ACTACEL vaccine administered at 2, 3 and 4 months of age or at 3, 4 and 5 months of age for Pertussis Toxoid (PT), Fimbriae types 2 and 3 (FIM2) and (FIM3) pertussis antigens, compared with Wuhan's DTaP and Act-HIB vaccines given concomitantly, one month after the three-dose primary vaccination. Secondary Objectives: To describe the safety after administration of the study vaccines. To describe in each group the immunogenicity of the study vaccines one month after the primary vaccination and before and one month after the booster vaccination.

The aim of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' (formerly known as SmithKline Beecham Biologicals) combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine in healthy adults, from the age of 18 onwards, in Australia.

Subjects aged 9 to 13 years who participated in the 711866/001 study 5 years ago will be evaluated for immune persistence and will receive a combined dTpa-IPV booster dose that will be evaluated in terms of immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an indigenously developed liquid pentavalent (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Hib) combination vaccine in healthy Indian infants as a part of the routine immunization in accordance with the EPI schedule.

This study is designed to evaluate in a controlled manner the effect of Prevnar® on the immune responses of Pentacel™ Primary Objective - Stage I: To compare the immune responses elicited by an infant series of Pentacel™ when given at different times from or concurrently with a Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar®). Primary Objective - Stage II: To compare the immune responses elicited by a 4th dose of Pentacel™ when given at different times from or concurrently with Prevnar®.
