59 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of bleeding due to failure of expected pharmacological action of CSL222 in adults with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B with detectable pretreatment AAV5 Nabs.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the TekiTrust Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit and TekiTrust Rapid Test can accurately determine the amount of antibodies to fight the COVID-19 virus in sampled blood compared to the standard Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) test. When a person has COVID-19 they develop antibodies to the virus which are contained in their blood stream. After a certain period, the number of antibodies to fight (neutralize) the virus begin to decrease. One common way to measure the amount of antibodies in the blood is to use a test called the PRNT. The focus of this study is to compare the ability of the TekiTrust ELISA Kit and the TekiTrust Rapid Test with the PRNT to determine if these tests can measure the antibodies equally well.
Participants will receive an infusion of both study drugs (3BNC117-LS and 10-1074-LS) and will discontinue antiretroviral therapy (which is the treatment for HIV) two days later. Participants will receive a second dose of the first study drug (3BNC117-LS) at week 12 if the HIV infection is maintained and participants remain off of antiretroviral therapy. The study hypothesizes that intravenous infusions (which means medication is delivered directly into a participant's vein) of the combination of study drugs will be safe and well tolerated, will maintain control of the HIV infection without antiretroviral therapy, and may be associated with a decrease in HIV found in cells that were previously infected with HIV but not actively producing HIV in the body.
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic presents a great challenge to global health. The first case was identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and since has infected nearly 100 million people and claimed almost 2 million lives worldwide. In response, the medical community and scientists have worked hard to develop effective therapies and guidelines to treat a wide range of symptoms including the use of the antiviral drug remdesivir, convalescent plasma, antibiotics, steroids, and anticoagulant therapy. To prevent the spread of the disease, multiple vaccines based on mRNA and DNA technologies that include inactivated viral components have been developed and millions of doses are currently being administered worldwide. Early analysis of data from the phase III Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccine trials suggested the vaccine was more than 90% effective in preventing the illness with a good safety profile (Polack et al., 2020). However, there are still many unknowns regarding the long-term safety of these newer vaccine technologies and the level and duration of immunogenicity. SARS-CoV-2 infection results in seroconversion and production of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The antibodies may suppress viral replication through neutralization but might also participate in COVID-19 pathogenesis through a process termed antibody-dependent enhancement (Lu et al., 2020). Rapid progress has been made in the research of antibody response and therapy in COVID-19 patients, including characterization of the clinical features of antibody responses in different populations infected by SARS-CoV-2, treatment of COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma and intravenous immunoglobin products, isolation and characterization of a large panel of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies and early clinical testing, as well as clinical results from several COVID-19 vaccine candidates. In this study, we plan to assess the effic of both vaccines on the healthcare workers. As healthcare workers begin to receive their first vaccination dosage, we will start looking for traces of antibodies within the blood and saliva. The data provided will help us determine the efficacy of the vaccine over a period of 1 year, identify any difference in efficacy amongst different populations (gender, age, and ethnicities) differences among vaccine types, demographics and follow-up on any potential side effects. We will collaborate with Nirmidas Biotech Inc. based in Palto Alto, California, a Stanford University spinoff on this project. Nirmidas Biotech. Inc is a young diagnostic company that have received several FDA EUA tests for COVID-19. We will perform IgG/IgM antibody detection by the NIRMIDAS MidaSpot™ COVID-19 Antibody Combo Detection Kit approved by FDA EUA for POC testing in our hospital site for qualitative antibody testing. We will then send dry blood spot and saliva to Nirmidas for the pGOLD™ COVID-19 High Accuracy IgG/IgM Assay to quantify antibody levels and avidity, both of which are important to immunity. The pGOLD assay is a novel nanotechnology assay platform capable of quantifying antibody levels and binding affinity to viruses. We collaborated recently with Nirmidas on this platform and published a joint paper in Nature Biomedical Engineering on COVID-19 Ab pGOLD assay (Liu et al., 2020). It is also capable of detecting antibodies in saliva samples and could offer a non-invasive approach to assessing antibody response for vaccination.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BGB-DXP593 administered intravenously as a single dose in participants with mild to moderate COVID-19
This study will include male and female participants who live or work in the same household as a patient in one of the fordadistrogene movaparvovec interventional studies. Up to 5 participants from the same household may be enrolled. The objective is to estimate the likelihood of NAb seroconversion to AAV9 in household contacts of a patient in one of the interventional studies who is treated with fordadistrogene movaparvovec gene therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of N-803, an IL-15 superagonist, with or without combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).
This is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of two broadly neutralizing monoclonal human antibodies (bNAbs), 3BNC117-LS-J, which targets the CD4 binding site on HIV-1 envelope protein, and 10-1074-LS-J which targets the V3 loop of HIV-1 envelope protein. The hypothesis is that the two antibodies will be safe for healthy HIV-1 uninfected adults when co-administered subcutaneously or intravenously and, after subcutaneous administration in the optimal ratio, each antibody will maintain serum levels \>10 µg/ml for at least 3 months in HIV-uninfected participants.
To assess the safety of combination immune therapy in HIV-infected participants whose HIV is controlled with ART, by determining the incidence and severity of adverse events.
The purpose of this study is to obtain information pertaining to the occurrence of antibodies to investigational SPK-3006 capsid and GAA, GAA activity and GAA antigen levels in the usual care setting of Late-Onset Pompe Disease (LOPD) participants on an enzyme replacement regimen. Additionally, a careful evaluation of laboratory and functional testing in patients with LOPD may provide information to better understand the disease features and better drive the design of a future interventional investigational gene therapy trial. An understanding of the underlying status of liver and muscle health in individuals with LOPD may also inform best surveillance during the conduct of gene therapy trials.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and innate immune mechanisms activation following administration of the combination of Pegylated Interferon alpha 2b (peg-IFN-α2b) with two broadly neutralizing antibodies (3BNC117 and 10-1074) in the setting of well-controlled HIV infection with antiretroviral treatment and a monitored analytical treatment interruption. The current proposal builds on previous experience using interferon alpha, 3BNC117 and 10-1074 alone in separate clinical trials that included a closely monitored analytical treatment interruption. The hypothesis is that the joint administration of peg-IFN-α2b with 3BNC117 and 10-1074 will be more effective than either intervention separately in suppressing HIV viremia during 8 weeks of analytical treatment interruption (Step 4) and reducing integrated HIV DNA in blood and tissue when measured during an analytical treatment interruption in patients with well-controlled HIV infection.
Background: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacks the immune system. Scientists have created a gene that could be transferred to the cells of people with HIV. The gene should tell the cells to make an antibody called VRC07. This antibody fights HIV. The VRC07 gene is packaged into a man-made version of a virus called AAV8. Objectives: To see if AAV8-VRC07 is safe. To study if it causes cells to produce the VRC07 antibody. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-65 who are HIV infected but in general good health and have been taking the same HIV medicine for at least 3 months Design: Participants were screened in a different protocol. Participants received the study product on day 1. It was injected one or more times in the upper arm or thigh using a needle. Participants weight was measured to calculate the dose. Women may have had a pregnancy test. For 7 days after getting the study product, participants checked their temperature with a thermometer. They noted any symptoms in an electronic or paper diary. Participants will have study visits. At each one, they will have a physical exam and medical history. They will have blood drawn and may have saliva collected. The study visit schedule is as follows: For 12 weeks: 1 visit a week For the next 12 weeks: 1 visit every other week Then about 1 visit a month After 1 year in the study: a visit every 6 months for the next 4 years. Total study participation is 5 years.
This study will measure antibody levels in the blood of people with bleeding or swelling in the retina who have or have not been treated with bevacizumab (Avastin\[Trademark\]or ranibizumab (Lucentis\[Trademark\]). These drugs have been useful in reducing retinal bleeding and swelling in people with eye diseases that cause these symptoms, but the drugs' effects usually wear off and they have to be given repeatedly. In some patients, the benefits become less and less. It is possible that over time, patients taking these drugs may produce antibodies that act against the drugs, thus neutralizing their effects and preventing them from working properly. People 18 year of age and older who are participating in a current NEI protocol and meet the following criteria may be eligible for this study: * Are receiving injections of bevacizumab or ranibizumab for bleeding or swelling in the retina, but the treatment is becoming less effective * Are receiving injections of bevacizumab or ranibizumab for bleeding or swelling in the retina and the treatment is still effective * Have bleeding or swelling in the retina, but have never received either bevacizumab or ranibizumab Participants have blood samples drawn once when they start the study, once in the middle of the study, and once at the end of the study. They are asked permission for study researchers to review the results of their eye examinations at NIH.
Background: Antibodies help the body fight infection. VRC01LS is an antibody directed against HIV virus. HIV attacks the immune system. In animals, VRC01LS inactivated many types of HIV viruses. Researchers want to see if it does this in people. Objectives: To see if VRC01LS is safe and well-tolerated in people. To see what level of VRC01LS is maintained in people and if they develop an immune response to it. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18 to 50 Design: Participants will be screened in protocol number VRC 500 (NIH 11-I-0164) with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. The study will last 24 to 48 weeks. Visits will last 2 to 8 hours. Participants will get VRC01LS through either: * A needle in an arm vein or * A small needle placed into the fatty tissue under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or arm. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 6 groups. Groups 1 to 4 will get 1 dose of VRC01LS. They will have follow-up visits through week 24. Groups 5 and 6 will get 1 dose of VRC01LS every 12 weeks (3 doses). They will have 4 to 5 visits between the second and third dose, and follow-up visits through week 48. Participants will have 1 to 3 follow-up visits in the week after receiving VRC01LS. They will record their temperature and keep a diary of symptoms for 3 days after a dose. They may have additional unscheduled visits. At each visit, participants will have a physical exam and may have blood and urine tests.
Background: - VRC01 is a manmade antibody directed against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Antibodies fight infection. Researchers eventually want to know if VRC01 helps prevent or treat HIV infection. In this study they want to know if the study drug is safe if taken in a vein or under the skin. Taking VRC01 in this study will not protect against HIV infection. Objectives: - To see if VRC01 and placebo are safe and well tolerated. Eligibility: - Healthy adults 18 to 50 years old. Design: * Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and lab tests. * Participants will be randomly divided into 4 groups. VRC01 or the placebo will be given in weeks 1 and 4. Blood samples will be taken several times after each VRC01 or placebo dose. * Three groups will receive VRC01 by needle into a vein with an IV pump. It will take about 1 hour and it is done in the hospital. * One group will receive either VRC01 or the placebo by needle into the fatty tissue under the skin, usually the belly. It will take up to 20 minutes and it is done in the hospital. * Participants will stay in the hospital overnight after receiving the medication and have about 14 clinic visits over 4 months. Most clinic visits last about 2 hours. * Participants will keep a symptom diary after receiving the medicatino. * Participants can volunteer to have mouth, rectal, and genital samples taken throughout the study. * The study will last 8 months.
This is the first clinical trial of the VRC-HIVMAB060-00-AB (VRC01) monoclonal antibody. VRC01 is a broadly neutralizing antibody directed against HIV. This is a dose-escalation study to examine safety, tolerability, dose and pharmacokinetics of VRC01. The hypothesis is that VRC01 will be safe for administration to HIV-1 infected adults by the intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) routes and will not elicit hypersensitivity reactions. Samples will be collected to learn if VRC01 is detectable in mucosal secretions and blood of participants and how long VRC01 can be detected in the blood after it is given. Between 15 and 25 HIV-1 infected adults, ages 18-70 years will be enrolled. There are 4 dose escalation groups for IV administration; the doses are 1 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg. There is 1 group for SC administration at 5 mg/kg. Each group is expected to include at least 3 participants. Each participant will receive two infusions of VRC01 with about 1 month between doses. Infusions are administered in an inpatient unit and an overnight stay at the NIH Clinical Center is required. No more than one subject per day per group will receive a first infusion of the VRC01 product by the IV route and no more than one subject per week will receive a first infusion of the product by the SC route. Study participation lasts for 24 weeks. Participant health and effect on CD4 count and HIV viral load will be monitored. Samples will be collected and stored for research purposes. ...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of combination broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the primary cause of infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as mono. EBV infects more than 90% of the world s population. Mono can be serious, and it can lead to severe illnesses like cancer and autoimmune diseases. Researchers want to test vaccines that may help prevent EBV and associated diseases. Objective: To test two EBV vaccines: EBV gH/gL/gp42-ferritin and EBV gp350-ferritin. Eligibility: Healthy EBV-negative or EBV-positive people aged 18 to 29. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical examination. They will give blood and saliva samples. They will receive 3 doses of the study vaccine as an injection in the shoulder muscle. They will get either one vaccine or a combination of both vaccines. Participants will get their first dose of the vaccine at visit 1, the second dose about 30 days later, and the final dose about 90 days after that. Participants will be given a memory aid so they can record any symptoms and side effects between visits. This can be done either on paper or online through a link that is emailed to them. There are 6 required in-person visits. There are also 2 optional visits. In between the in-person visits are 7 telehealth visits or phone calls. Each visit may take up to 4 hours. The study will last for about 17 months. Participants will have the option of staying in the study for an additional year.
This study is designed to evaluate the magnitude and duration of the human adaptive immune response to the JYNNEOS Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) vaccine in the blood, lung mucosa, skin and bone marrow.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of therapeutic vaccination with chimpanzee adenovirus ChAdOx1- and poxvirus modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-vectored conserved mosaic T-cell vaccines in a sequential regimen with the toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist vesatolimod (VES) and two broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) compared to placebo, to induce HIV-1 control during analytic treatment interruption (ATI).
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes most cases of infectious mononucleosis (mono). Mono can cause fatigue that lasts more than 6 months, and some people can have severe complications. EBV infection may also contribute to some cancers and autoimmune diseases. Currently, there are no approved therapies or vaccines for EBV infection. Objective: To test a vaccine against EBV. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 25 years. Design: Participants will be screened in 2 parts. They will have a blood test. If that test shows they have never had an EBV infection, they will have a second clinic visit. They will have a physical exam, with blood and urine tests. A cotton swab will be rubbed on their gums to collect saliva. Participants will receive 2 injections into a shoulder muscle. Some will receive the EBV vaccine. Others will receive a placebo; this contains harmless salt water with no vaccine. Participants will not know which one they are getting. The 2 injections will be 30 days apart. Participants will be asked to record any side effects or symptoms they have between visits. They can do this on paper or online. Participants will return for a follow-up visit 60 days after the first injection. They will have follow-up visits by phone or telehealth after 5 and 8 months. They will return for a physical exam after 13 months. They may come back for an optional physical exam after 2 years. Participants will come to the clinic if they become ill with an EBV infection during the study.
The proposed study is a phase 1, open label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and antiretroviral activity of the combination of two long-acting broadly neutralizing antibodies, 3BNC117-LS dosed once at 30 mg/kg and 10-1074-LS dosed once at 10 mg/kg, both intravenously (IV) at week 0, plus an IL-15 superagonist complex, N-803, dosed at 6 mcg/kg, subcutaneously (SC) at week 1 and then every 3 weeks for a total of 8 doses, in ART-treated adults living with HIV during analytical treatment interruption.
This study is to evaluate antiviral activity, efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK3810109A in HIV-1 infected treatment naive adults. Participants will receive a single dose of GSK3810109A administered either intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC). The study includes a screening phase, a randomized monotherapy phase and a standard of care follow-up phase.
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes most cases of infectious mononucleosis (mono). Up to 1 in 10 people who get mono can have fatigue that lasts more than 6 months. One out of 100 people can have severe complications. EBV is also associated with several types of cancer. Researchers want to test an EBV vaccine. Objective: To test the safety of and immune response to a new vaccine against EBV. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-29 Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample. Screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will get a dose of the study vaccine as an injection in a muscle in the upper arm. They will be observed for 30 to 60 minutes. Blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature will be checked. The injection site will be examined. Participants will get a diary card. They will write down any side effects they have after the vaccine dose, or they may use an electronic diary card. Participants will be asked to write down or enter any important medical events that may occur at any time during the study. Participants will get a vaccine dose at 2 more study visits. They will have 4 follow-up visits at different times after a vaccine dose. Participants will have 6 telephone calls in between the in-person visits. They will also have 1 telephone call 1 year after the third dose of vaccine. If possible, this visit can occur in person. Participation will last about 18 months. There is an optional in-person visit or telephone call 2 years after the third dose of vaccine.
The proposed study is a phase 1, open label, single arm study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of single intravenous infusions of 3BNC117-LS and 10-1074-LS, each monoclonal antibody (mAb) dosed at 30 mg/kg in viremic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals.
Background: A daily drug combination can keep human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) levels low for a long time. But if this combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) stops, HIV levels go back up. People can also develop resistance or permanent side effects. Researchers want to see if 2 new drugs can help control HIV when a person is not on ART. Objective: To see if VRC01 and 10-1074 are safe and control HIV when a person is not on ART. Eligibility: Adults 18-65 with HIV Design: All participants must agree to practice safer sex. Those who can get pregnant will have a pregnancy test every visit. Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medicine review Blood and urine tests Some participants may need to change their HIV medicine for a brief period of time during the study. A few weeks later, participants will repeat screening tests and stop taking their HIV medicines. Interruption phase 1: Participants will have blood tests every 2 weeks, and repeat screening tests every 4 weeks. Treatment phase: Once their HIV reaches a certain level in the blood, participants will get the 2 study drugs or a salt water placebo. They will not know which they get. Each substance will be given through a thin tube in an arm vein for about 1 hour. Participants will restart their HIV medicines and repeat screening tests every 4 weeks. Interruption phase 2: Once the level of HIV in the blood becomes undetectable for 3 months, participants will again stop taking their HIV medicines and have blood tests every 2 weeks to monitor the level of HIV in the blood. Participants will restart their medicines by week 24. They will start sooner if they have certain symptoms or blood levels of HIV become too high. They will repeat most screening tests 3 times over 24 weeks.
Background: HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, which is the virus that causes AIDS. There is currently no licensed vaccine to prevent HIV infection. Researchers want to test a vaccine called Trimer 4571 for the first time. It was made at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and contains no HIV. The vaccine is mixed with a substance called alum and injected in the arm. Alum is included to boost the body's immune response to the vaccine. It has been used in licensed vaccines for over 60 years and has been found to be safe. Objectives: To see if the vaccine Trimer 4571 is safe, well-tolerated, and to study immune responses to it. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-50 years Design: Participants were screened with a physical exam and blood tests. They agreed to not become pregnant and to avoid behavior that would put them at high-risk for HIV infection during the study. Participants had about 15 study visits over about 9 months. The first 6 participants received a low dose of the vaccine mixed with alum. Once the low dose was deemed safe, 10 new participants were allocated to receive a higher dose. All participants were randomly assigned to get the vaccine by injection in a muscle or under the skin. All participants received a total of 3 vaccine injections over 20 weeks. Each visit where participants received the vaccine lasted about 5 hours. Participants were watched after each injection. Participants who were able to get pregnant would have a pregnancy test before each injection. Participants received a thermometer and recorded their temperature and symptoms every day for 1 week after each injection. The injection site was checked for redness, swelling, or bruising. At follow-up visits, participants had blood drawn and checked for health changes or problems. Follow up visits lasted about 1-2 hours.
