Active clinical trials for "Whooping Cough"

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the Infanrix hexa booster dose given at 11-18 months of age to infants who received primary vaccination at 6-14 weeks. All infants in this booster study were born to pregnant women who participated in the study 116945 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-047] and having received the full primary vaccination series as per protocol requirement in study 201330 [DTPA (BOOSTRIX)-048.

Brief Summary: The study compares four models of pertussis vaccination dispensation to pregnant women on the vaccine coverage obtained. In addition, the cost of the different models of vaccination will be evaluated.

The objective of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b Conjugate Vaccine Adsorbed in Vietnamese infants aged 6-12 weeks. This is an open label, single group, bridging study.

Pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus are seriously infectious diseases in children. Since using of the vaccine targeted the three components, it greatly reduced incidence of the three kinds of diseases. The Purpose of this study is to preliminary evaluate the safety of DTcP compared to adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus combined vaccine （DT），Diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine（DTaP） or PENTAXIM（DTaP-IPV-Hib） in participants.

The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity and safety of a novel DTaP- IPV- Hep B-PRT~T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (Hexaxim™) administered at 6, 10 and 14 weeks of age in infants born to mothers documented to be serum anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serology negative in India. Primary Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity of the study vaccine in terms of seroprotection [diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, poliovirus types 1, 2 and 3, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) polysaccharide (PRP), hepatitis B (Hep B)] and vaccine response for pertussis antigens [pertussis toxoid (PT) and filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA)] one month after the third dose. Secondary Objectives: To further describe the immunogenicity of the study vaccine, before the first dose and one month after the third dose. To describe the safety after each and any doses of the study vaccine.

The aim of the study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety profile of ADACEL compared to local adsorbed diphtheria and tetanus combined vaccine (local DT or local Td vaccine in participants in China. Primary objective: To describe diphtheria and tetanus seroprotection rates and pertussis booster response rates induced by each of the study vaccines: ADACEL vaccine (in all study age groups), local DT vaccine (in children), and local Td vaccine (in adolescents and adults). Secondary Objectives: To further describe in each group the immunogenicity of the study vaccines at baseline and 1 month after vaccination. To describe the safety of the study vaccines

The aim of this study is to describe immunogenicity of a single booster dose of Adacel vaccine versus Boostrix vaccine among approximately 420 adolescents 11 to <13 years of age. Primary objective: To describe seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. Observational objectives: To describe pre- and post-vaccination tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. To describe booster response rates against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. To describe the rates of adverse events (AEs) immediately post-vaccination, and the rates of unsolicited AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Boostrix vaccine from Visit 1 through Visit 2.

Despite good vaccination coverage, included in national immunization programs in developed countries, the number of reported pertussis cases is rising, also in very young infants. Current immunization strategies fail to protect infants too young to be immunized with the licensed vaccine. Different strategies are possible to close the gap of susceptibility between the loss of maternal antibodies and protection by vaccination. The main aim of the present study is to measure the influence of an adult pertussis booster in pregnant women, on the titer and duration of maternal antibodies in their infants. Early humoral immunity will be assessed and the influence on vaccine response of the infant measured. The present study offers the opportunity to have new insights in neonatal immunological mechanisms against pertussis and a better understanding in strategies to protect infants against pertussis.

Primary objective: To determine the safety and immunogenicity of tetanus and diphtheria toxoids adsorbed combined with component pertussis and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine grown on vero cells (TdcP-IPV) compared to tetanus and diphtheria toxoids adsorbed combined with component pertussis and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine grown on vero cells (TdcP-IPV) and Hepatitis B vaccine administered concurrently in adolescents 11-14 years of age. Secondary objective: To determine whether concurrent administration of TdcP-IPV and Hepatitis B vaccines at 11-14 years of age results in detectable immunologic interactions between components of the two vaccines.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a novel DTaP-IPV-Hep B-PRP~T fully liquid combined hexavalent vaccine (study vaccine) administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age compared to Sanofi Pasteur's DTaP-IPV//PRP~T combined vaccine (Pentaxim™) given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and Hep B vaccine (Euvax B®) given at 1 and 6 months of age in South Korean infants that received a birth dose of Hep B and born to mothers documented to be serum anti-HBs Ag negative. Primary Objective To demonstrate the non-inferiority in terms of seroprotection (Diphtheria, Tetanus, poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3, PRP-T, Hep B) and vaccine response for pertussis antigens (pertussis toxoid [PT] and filamentous haemagglutinin [FHA]) of Group A versus Group B, one month after the third dose of combined vaccines. Secondary Objectives: To further study the immunogenicity of the two vaccination schemes, before the first dose and one month after the last dose of vaccines. To study the safety after each and any dose of vaccines administered in the two vaccination schemes
