Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

This phase IIIb, observer-blind study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' Boostrix® vaccine in adults (extending indication) aged 65 years or older.

The purpose of this study is to provide further immunogenicity and safety information of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV combined vaccine (TETRAXIM™) as a booster dose during the 4th and 6th year of life in children that previously received in Study E2I34 (NCT 00255021), sanofi pasteur DTacP-IPV// PRP~T vaccine (PENTAXIM™) as a three-dose primary and booster vaccinations. Primary Objective : To assess immunogenicity in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/vaccine response rates to acellular Pertussis antigens (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous Haemagglutinin [FHA]) of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV (Tetraxim™) vaccine, one month after the booster dose given at 4 to 6 years of age. Secondary Objectives : To describe the antibody persistence in terms of anti-pertussis antibody levels (anti-PT, and -FHA) and in terms of seroprotection rates and GMTs for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, just before administration of the booster dose (at Visit 1) in all subjects at 4-6 years of age. To assess immunogenicity in terms of seroprotection rates (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio types 1, 2 and 3) and seroconversion/ vaccine response rates to acellular Pertussis antigens (PT, FHA) of sanofi pasteur's DTacP-IPV (Tetraxim™) vaccine, one month after administration of the booster dose given at 4 to 6 years of age. To describe the safety after the booster dose of the study vaccine.

This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of the Novartis Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with Tdap and HPV vaccinations to healthy adolescents

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.

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.

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.

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)

The present clinical study will assess the immunogenicity as the primary objective and the reactogenicity as the secondary objective of Aventis Pasteur's DTacP-IPV// PRP~T combined vaccine (Pentavac™ or Pentaxim™) as a three-dose primary vaccination at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age followed by a booster dose during the second year of life. Safety: This study will describe the safety after each dose of the primary series of the study's combined vaccine (Pentaxim™).

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

New immunization recommendations in the US include vaccination of adolescents against pertussis and meningococcal disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid And Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed) and MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine against serotypes A, C, Y and W-135) vaccines be administered to adolescents at the same office visit if vaccination with both vaccines is indicated. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with Boostrix co-administered with Menactra as compared to the administration of either vaccine alone in healthy adolescents 11 - 18 years of age.
