Active clinical trials for "Yellow Fever"

Yellow Fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic disease caused by the Yellow Fever Virus (YFV), a re-emerging arbovirus transmitted by the same mosquito vector (Aedes aegypti) that transmits Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). YFV is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas of South America and Africa, causing an estimated 200,000 infections and 30,000 deaths annually. It has now become a growing public health problem, rapidly spreading throughout the two (2) continents in a cyclical pattern. With climate change, global travel and urbanisation, which increase the chance for mosquito-borne diseases to spread rapidly, the risk of YFV establishing its foothold in the Asia-Pacific region with periodic epidemic bursts remains a real public health concern. Although there is currently a safe and effective vaccine available on the market, global shortages of supplies have severely hampered any efforts in the prevention and control of YFV outbreaks. To date, no YFV therapy (biologic or small molecule) has advanced to clinical trials. TY014 will be the first therapeutic in the world, specifically targeting YFV, to enter clinical trials. It is anticipated that a monoclonal antibody therapeutic could be administered to infected cases to reduce disease severity within the patient and their contacts. This is a Phase 1, first-in-human TY014, YFV monoclonal antibody (mAb), study to be conducted in two (2) arms: Safety Arm (1A): Healthy adult volunteers Efficacy Arm (1B): Healthy adult volunteers challenged with YF-17D Vaccine Strain 24 hours prior to TY014 dosing TY014 will be administered once through single IV infusion over 30 minutes. Total duration of study participation is estimated at approximately 114 days from the date of screening. The main objectives of this study are to: (a) evaluate the safety of TY014 in healthy adult volunteers, and (b) evaluate the safety of TY014 in YF-17D Vaccine Strain-challenged healthy adult volunteers. Percentage aviremia of YF-17D Vaccine Strain-challenged subjects within 48 hours after IV infusion of TY014 will also be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether immune globulin can limit the amount of yellow fever vaccine virus present in the blood after vaccination without compromising the immunity associated with the yellow fever vaccine. The study will enroll 80 participants in two groups of 40 each. The first group will receive the yellow fever vaccine with salt-water placebo. The second group will receive yellow fever vaccine with immune globulin. The amount of vaccine virus and immune response in both groups will be compared. Yellow fever vaccine has been used to protect humans against Yellow Fever Vaccine disease since the 1930s.

This study is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic-Yellow Fever (MVA-BN-YF) in Flavivirus-naive healthy male and non-pregnant female adult subjects. There are six dose groups in this study. Subjects who have never received a licensed or investigational smallpox vaccine will be randomized to Groups 1-5 and vaccine administration and follow-up will be conducted in a double-blinded fashion. Subjects who have previously received two, 1 x 10^8 TCID50 doses of Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) between 19 and 45 days apart by s ubcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) routes will be enrolled in Group 6 and will be dosed open-label. Since this is a first in human, phase I study, a sentinel cohort will be utilized. The first two subjects (1st sentinel group) one at each clinical site will be randomized to Group 2 or 3 and vaccinated with MVA-BN-YF with or without Montanide ISA 720 adjuvant (ISA 720). Subjects and study personnel will be blinded as to whether ISA 720 was administered. The primary objectives are the: 1) assessment of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720; 2) comparison of the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of MVA-BN-YF vaccine administered with or without ISA 720 with Yellow Fever Vaccine (YF-VAX) and MVA-BN.

The primary objective is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and tolerability of the HydroVax-002 YFV vaccine administered intramuscularly in a two-dose series on Days 1 and 29 at a dose of 1 mcg or a dose of 5 mcg.

The primary objectives of the study are: To describe the safety profile of each of the 3 dosages of vYF and of YF-VAX® within the 28 days post-vaccination and up to the 6 months (Day 180) post-vaccination visit To describe the antibody responses elicited by each of the 3 dosages of vYF and by YF-VAX on Day 0 pre-vaccination and then on Day 10, Day 14, Day 28 and 6 months (Day 180) post-vaccination overall and by baseline flavivirus serostatus To quantify the detectable yellow fever (YF) vaccinal viremia in each vaccine groups (vYF and YF-VAX) in a subset of subjects on Day 0 visit, Day 1 visit, Day 3 visit, Day 5 visit, Day 7 visit, Day 10 visit, and Day 14 visit.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the administration of CYD dengue vaccine serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) following a compressed schedule in 3 different populations. Primary Objectives: To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (Month [M] 13) and Group 2 (M07), irrespective of whether or not Yellow Fever (YF) vaccine has been previously administered. To describe the persistence of the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes 6 months after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 3 in Group 1 (M18) and Group 2 (M12), irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. Secondary Objective: To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue vaccine Dose 1 and Dose 2 in Groups 1 and 2, irrespective of whether or not YF vaccine has been previously administered. To describe the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after CYD dengue Dose 1 in the combined YF-participants in Group 1 (N=60) and Group 2 (N=60), and in Group 3 (N=120). To describe by FV status at baseline the humoral immune response to each of the 4 parental dengue virus serotypes at baseline and 28 days after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine in Groups 1, 2, and 3. To describe the safety profile after each injection of CYD dengue vaccine and/or YF vaccine.

In July 2016, the demand for yellow fever vaccines in response to the large urban outbreaks occurring concurrently and the risk of further spread through the African continent and even to Asia, was larger than the available supply. In this situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed recommendations for the use of fractional-dose of yellow fever vaccine as a dose-sparing strategy. These recommendations were based on limited number of clinical trials and additional studies should assess the applicability of the fractional dose to all WHO-prequalified vaccines, the persistence of neutralizing antibodies and the performance of the fractional dose in young children and populations in Africa including those with HIV. This study aims to respond to some of the research questions that would allow broadening the recommendations on the use of fractional doses of yellow fever vaccine in emergency situations. The study will be conducted in Uganda and Kenya and the main objective is to assess the non-inferiority is seroconversion 28 days after vaccination of a fractional dose compared to full dose for each WHO-prequalified manufacturer. As secondary objectives the study will assess seroprotection 10 days and 1 year after vaccination, to assess rapidity and persistence of protective antibody levels; describe the geometric mean titre and the change in neutralizing antibody on Day 28 days after vaccination with fractional and full doses; and assess the occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events (SAE) during 28 days after administration of fractional and full doses. The study consists of a randomized non-inferiority trial. The study aims to start in April 2017 in the two sites and aims to recruit 960 adults. Results for the main outcome will be reviewed by the study Data and Safety Monitoring Board and one vaccine will be selected for the studies in children and HIV positive adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of the SB257049 candidate malaria vaccine when co-administered with Vitamin A, measles, rubella and yellow fever vaccines to children aged 6 months at the first vaccination.

This study compares the safety and immunogenicity profile of several travel vaccines given alone or concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM to healthy adults.
