8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity an investigational messenger ribonucleic acid (mRN)A vaccine for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and/or human metapneumovirus (hMPV) in older adults. A single intramuscular (IM) injection of 3 to 4 different doses of the RSV/hMPV mRNA vaccine candidate formulated with 2 different lipid nanoparticles (LNP) will be administered to healthy participants aged 18 to 49 years and 60 years and older. Treatment: * RSV/hMPV mRNA / LNP 1 at 3-4 different doses or, * RSV/hMPV mRNA / LNP 2 at 3-4 difference doses or, * RSV mRNA / LNP 1 at 1 dose or, * hMPV mRNA / LNP 1 at 1 dose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a human metapneumovirus (hMPV) / respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) mRNA vaccine candidate encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) based formulation (hereafter referred to as hMPV/RSV vaccine) for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by hMPV and/or RSV among adults aged 60 years and older. Overall, the study is designed to address the following goals: * Assess the safety profile of the candidate formulations. * Describe the immunogenicity profile of the candidate formulations. * Select the vaccine formulations (dose) for future development. * Assess the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination of the selected formulation administered 12 months after the primary vaccination in a subset of the study population. The study duration is as follows: -Six months each for the Sentinel and Main Cohorts; up to 12 months for the Expansion Cohort, and 12 additional months for the Booster Cohort Treatment duration: * Stage 1 Sentinel Cohort: 1 intra-muscular (IM) injection. Participants will be followed for 6 months post vaccination * Stage 1 Main Cohort: 1 IM injection. Participants will be followed for 6 months post vaccination * Stage 2 Expansion Cohort: 1 IM injection. Participants in the selected formulation arm, and participants in the Licensed RSV vaccine arm will be followed for 12 months post-vaccination; the remainder of the participants will be followed for 8 months post-vaccination * Stage 2 Booster Cohort: 1 IM injection 12 months post-primary vaccination. Participants will be followed for 12 months post-booster vaccination
A study to evaluate ALVR106; an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets four community acquired respiratory viruses: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and/or parainfluenza virus (PIV) following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT).
This clinical study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of 2 dose levels of mRNA-1653, a combined human metapneumovirus and human parainfluenza virus type 3 vaccine, in healthy adults (18 to 49 years of age) and 2 dose levels in children (12 to 59 months of age) with serologic evidence of prior exposure. The safety profile of the adult cohort will permit enrollment of the pediatric cohort.
This clinical study will assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of mRNA-1653, a combined human metapneumovirus and human parainfluenza virus type 3 vaccine in healthy adults.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a single intramuscular (IM) injection of different doses of an respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) vaccine candidate, in adult participants aged 60 years and older. In addition, the study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination administered 12 months after the primary vaccination in a subset of the study population.
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are prevalence community diseases and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Rapid diagnosis of RTIs is essential as it drives decision points such as treatment, disposition, and containment. According to recent CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) updates, nasopharyngeal swabbing is the preferred method of specimen collection for most RTIs such as SARS-COV-2. This process is invasive and traumatizing for patients as it requires probing (20 seconds) of the posterior nasopharynx with swab applicator. In some cases, this procedure has resulted in pain and injury. Because of the invasive nature of the procedure, patients often refuse testing or withdraw during the collection process resulting in inadequate specimen procurement. The study principle investigators (PI) have developed 2 novel specimen collection devices: 1) nasopharyngeal wash collection device (NP wash device) and 2) saliva collection device (the Oral Capsule). Both devices are designed for ease of use either by a healthcare professional or a patient. The benefits of such collection devices include 1) minimizing the invasive nature of the procedure because a swab applicator is not utilized and 2) minimizing infection risk to healthcare professional because the study devices can be self-administered when applicable. The study will enroll 1000 participants from a pool of patients presenting to the Nebraska Medicine Emergency Department (ED) who received a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab viral PCR test as part of their ED work up. Enrolled patients will be asked to provide four total specimens: 1) a saliva drool specimen, 2) a saliva Oral Capsule specimen, 3) a NP wash specimen, and 4) a finger stick serum specimen. Patients are able to opt out of any specimen collection method. Study specimens 1, 2, 3 will undergo a respiratory pathogen panel (RPP) PCR test and COVID-19 antibody testing. Study specimen 4 will undergo COVID-19 antibody testing and will function as a serum control for antibody detection.
The study will be conducted using nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected prospectively from individuals suspected of having the signs and symptoms of an acute respiratory tract infection caused by a respiratory virus. A series of standard viral culture tests validated for routine use in the clinical laboratory, and/or a series of PCR-based Laboratory Developed Tests (PCR-LDT) validated by a central reference laboratory will be used to verify the performance of the investigational artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the QIAGEN ResPlex II Advanced Panel test. From each specimen five (5) aliquots will be prepared: (a) one aliquot will be tested in real-time using the assigned viral culture reference methods; (b) one aliquot will be used to extract nucleic acid in real-time for investigational testing; (c) one aliquot of the specimen will be stored at --70C for subsequent shipment to the reference laboratory for PCR-LDT testing, (d) one aliquot will be archived at -70C for subsequent follow-up by the reference laboratory (e.g., bi-directional sequencing of positive specimens), and (e) any remaining specimen will be stored for the Fresh vs. Frozen Study. The extracted nucleic acid generated from the second aliquot (i.e., "b" above) will be split and subjected to testing by both the artus Influenza A/B RT-PCR test and the ResPlex II Advanced Panel test.
