25 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The main goal of this study is to compare the Haemophilus influenzae type b antibody response in American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants to two licensed vaccines: Vaxelis and PedvaxHIB.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, to demonstrate lot-to-lot consistency of the vaccine, to address the relevant concomitant vaccine administrations and to provide a comparison between GSK Biologicals' Hib conjugate vaccine and the licensed monovalent Hib vaccine ActHIB as well as the licensed combination product Pentacel in infants at 2, 4, 6 and 15-18 months of age. This study is designed with a primary and a booster phase.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety of Haemophilus (H.) influenzae, its ability to produce adverse reactions and to live in the nose and throat. The nose and throat of healthy adults will be populated with a specific type of H. influenzae Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) 2019 Streptomycin Resistant (StrR) number 1. Researchers will study whether the germ settles in the nose and throat, whether it causes symptoms after it has been placed in the nose, how long the germs last in the nose and throat, and whether the body tries to produce a permanent defense to the germ. Volunteers will receive a lower dose (3,200 germs) or a higher dose (32,000 germs). Active participation will last about 28 days, including a 3 night hospital stay, additional follow-up visits, followed by a 6 month follow-up phone call. Study procedures will include blood samples, saliva samples, several nose washes and throat swabs.
The booster phase of the study will evaluate the safety of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age. This protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives \& outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00345579). No new recruitment will take place during this booster phase of the study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
The primary phase of this study is evaluating the safety of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with Pediarix® to healthy infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. This protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the primary phase of the study. The objectives \& outcome measures of the Booster phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = 00345683). The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007
This study evaluates the immunogenicity and consistency of 3 Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine lots and the safety and immunogenicity of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, when each are co-administered with Pediarix® to healthy infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age.

Hib disease rates in rural Alaska before introduction of HIb conjugate vaccine were among the highest in the world. Since vaccine introduction, rates have fallen by 90% but the disease has not been eliminated. This study is designed to test one possible means of eliminating Hib carriage and thus to eliminate person to person transmission and invasive disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of community-wide use of Hib conjugate vaccine for eliminating oropharyngeal Hib carriage in rural Alaska villages. Secondary objectives include: * Determine risk factors for Hib OP carriage including demographic characteristics, and immunologic characteristics (antibody level and function). This will be accomplished through a case-control study described below. * Measure antibody response to Hib conjugate vaccine among adults who have not previously received Hib vaccine. This will be accomplished through a cohort study of participating adults in the vaccine intervention communities.
This study is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, each administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age, and compared to licensed meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 polysaccharide vaccine administered at 3 to 5 years of age. The safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine will be compared to a booster dose of licensed Hib conjugate vaccine, each administered at 12 to 15 months of age. The group primed with the Hib conjugate vaccine will re-randomized at 12-15 months of age to receive a booster dose of Hib-MenCY-TT or a booster dose of the Hib conjugate vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to test if the vaccine is working well in COPD patients aged 40 to 80 years old to reduce episodes of worsening symptoms ("exacerbations") and to gather further information on safety and immune response. In the current study, COPD patients with a history of acute exacerbations will receive 2 doses of the investigational vaccine or placebo intramuscularly according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The effect of vaccination against two pathogens known to cause exacerbations (Non-typeable Haemophilus influenza \[NTHi\] and Moraxella catarrhalis \[Mcat\]) will be evaluated at pre-defined timepoints (scheduled study visits). In addition to the scheduled study visits, additional study visit(s) and/ or phone contact(s) will take place for each acute exacerbation of COPD occurring from first vaccination up to study conclusion.
The goal of this study is characterize the changes in bacterial diversity of the upper respiratory tracts of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF). Another goal is to determine when CF patients become colonized with pathogenic bacteria that are responsible for the lethal lung damage in children with CF. Ten subjects will be recruited into the study. Throat swabs will be collected at 6-8 weeks of age, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months of age in order to chart any changes in the bacterial populations of the respiratory tract. Clinical data will also be collected to evaluate the possible influence of external factors on changes in the microbial communities. This study will provide preliminary data on whether probiotics can eradicate the colonization of the respiratory tract by pathogenic bacteria.
