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.

Maternal immunization with tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) is a potential strategy to protect young infants against pertussis before they are fully vaccinated because maternal antibodies may cross the placenta and passively protect her infant. The proposed study is a randomized, blinded, controlled, vaccine trial of maternal Tdap vaccination during the third trimester of pregnancy (Tdap vaccination at 27-36 weeks gestation). Pregnant women will be recruited from the prenatal care clinics at the Hospital Nacional Occidente and the Health Centers in Quetzaltenango, La Esperanza, San Juan Ostuncalco and Concepción Chiquirichapa. Enrolled women and their infants will be followed up until 7 months post-partum.

This study is a small-scale randomized, placebo-controlled factorial trial of two interventions to increase Tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) immunization rates among infant caregivers. Specifically, the trial will compare a full cost vs. $5 Tdap voucher with or without an educational video.

The aim of the study is to assess the safety profile of ADACEL vaccine in a small number of participants in China. Primary objective: To describe the safety in terms of occurrence of serious adverse reactions and grade 3 adverse reactions after administration of Sanofi Pasteur's Tdap vaccine (ADACEL) given as a single dose in 20 adults and 20 children. Secondary objective: To describe the full reactogenicity profile after administration of sanofi pasteur's Tdap vaccine (ADACEL) given as a single dose in 20 adults and 20 children.

Primary objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection rates (Hib antigen (PRP), Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis antigens (PT and FHA), and polio types 1, 2 and 3 antigens) of investigational arm (Group A: DTaP-IPV/Hib) versus control arm (Group B: DTaP-IPV and Hib vaccines administered at separate sites), one month after the primary vaccination (all antigens). Secondary objectives: To describe immune responses against all vaccine antigens with no pre-specified hypothesis, and at all time points (pre-dose 1, post-dose 3, pre-dose 4 and post-dose 4) in the two study groups (Group A and Group B). To describe the safety after each dose of each vaccine in the two study groups (Group A and Group B). To describe immune responses against all vaccine antigens with no pre-specified hypothesis, and at all time points (pre-dose 1, post-dose 3, pre-dose 4 and post-dose 4 (Group C)

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.

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®.
