This study evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of the BPZE1 live attenuated pertussis vaccine, intended to prevent nasopharyngeal colonization and pertussis disease, and compares a single (prime) BPZE1 dose or BPZE1 2-dose (prime + boost) to a single (prime) Boostrix or Boostrix prime + BPZE1 boost.
This was a dose and formulation ranging study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of SP0173 in healthy adolescents, adults, and older adults in the United States (US). Primary Objective * To describe the safety profile of each SP0173 investigational formulation. Observational Objective: * To describe the immunogenicity of each SP0173 investigational formulation.
The purpose of this cohort study is to determine vaccine-specific rates of pertussis disease during the period of the study, among Wisconsin residents younger than 60 months of age (the Surveillance Population), and to descriptively compare the proportion of such persons vaccinated with Pentacel® vaccine who acquire pertussis disease to the proportion of such persons vaccinated with any other Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis (DTaP) vaccine who acquire pertussis disease. Primary Objective: To determine the rates and relative risk of pertussis disease among Surveillance Population members who have received Pentacel vaccine or another pertussis vaccine.
The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and immunogenicity of a combination vaccine that includes tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap). The study will be conducted in 48 pregnant women and 32 non-pregnant women. Safety of the newborn infant and the effect of the mother's vaccination on the infants' immune responses prior to vaccinating infants with another combination vaccine to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis will be evaluated. Participants will be 18-45 years old. Pregnant volunteers will be 30-32 weeks pregnant and at a low risk for pregnancy complications. Pregnant volunteers will receive 2 injections (1 vaccine and 1 placebo, inactive substance); non-pregnant volunteers will receive 1 injection of vaccine. Blood samples will be collected from the mother and infant, along with the baby's growth measurements. Participation for mother infant pairs is about 15 months and about 7 months for non-pregnant women.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two strategies of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in healthcare workers (HCWs) who have been vaccinated with acellular pertussis vaccine and have been exposed to pertussis Secondary Objectives include a comparison of the costs of each PEP strategy and an assessment for risk factors associated with healthcare-associated acquisition of pertussis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, ability of GSK Biologicals' investigational RSV maternal vaccine (RSVPreF3) to generate an immune response and the degree to which the vaccine can cause side effects, when administered alone and in combination with Boostrix vaccine in healthy non-pregnant women 18-45 years of age. Two dose levels of RSVPreF3 and 2 Boostrix \[Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (dTpa) vaccine\] formulations (US and ex-US) will be evaluated. A 2nd dose of RSVPreF3 will be administered in an extension of the study to assess the durability of the immune response after the first dose vaccination, and to assess the safety and immunogenicity following a second dose vaccination of the RSVPreF3 maternal vaccine.
The objective in this observational cohort study of young adults sampled at three intervals during the academic year is to ascertain if there is carriage of B. pertussis in asymptomatic individuals. We hypothesize that in asymptomatic college students there is no carriage of B. pertussis detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
The purpose of this study is to assess immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' HZ/su vaccine when its first dose is co-administered with the Boostrix® vaccine in adults aged 50 years or older compared to administration of vaccines separately.
This is a study to evaluate the immune response and safety of GSK Biologicals 2-dose inactivated hepatitis A vaccine when administered with a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combination (DTaP) vaccine and a Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine in children 15 months of age. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
This is a randomized, partially blind, placebo controlled, clinical trial evaluating a single intranasal dose of BPZE1 in healthy adults. The study will evaluate a lyophilized formulation of the product, with the goal of testing for the optimal dose for subsequent clinical trials. Fifty healthy adults, 18-49 years of age will be randomized to one of the four following treatment groups in a 3:3:3:1 ratio: 10\^7 colony forming units (CFU) of BPZE1 administered by VaxINator device, 10\^9 CFU of BPZE1 administered by VaxINator device, placebo administered by VaxINator device, 10\^9 CFU of BPZE1 administered by needleless tuberculin syringe. Study duration will be approximately 12 months with a subject participation duration of approximately 6 months. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single intranasal dose of either 10\^7 or 10\^9 CFU of lyophilized BPZE1 vaccine.
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the safety of Tetanus Toxoid Reduced Diphtheria, Toxoid, and Acelluar Pertussis Vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant women at ≥ 20 weeks 0 days gestation receiving Tdap as part of standard practice. Prior Tdap/Td/TT history will be verified by medical record review when possible. There will be an emphasis on enrolling women who have received Tdap before the current pregnancy, to the greatest extent possible. Non-pregnant women who are receiving their initial Tdap will also be recruited. Injection-site (local) and systemic reaction data will be assessed on the vaccination day and during the 7 days following vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries, depending on the preference of the study participant. Pregnant women will be followed until delivery with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained from review of the electronic medical record.
The purpose of this Registry is to detect and describe any abnormal pregnancy outcomes, including teratogenicity, in females intentionally or unintentionally exposed to Boostrix during their pregnancies in the US. The Registry requires voluntary, prospective reporting of eligible pregnancies by patients and health care providers (HCPs). Data such as vaccination with Boostrix during pregnancy or within 28 days preceding conception, potential confounding factors (such as exposure to other medications) and information related to the outcome of the pregnancy will be collected prospectively
This study is a small-scale randomized, placebo-controlled factorial trial of two interventions to increase Tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) immunization rates among infant caregivers. Specifically, the trial will compare a full cost vs. $5 Tdap voucher with or without an educational video.
This study evaluates whether offering Tetanus, diphteria and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine to caregivers of newborn infants during pediatric well child visits increase the caregivers' vaccination rates.
It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication. The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.
This is a descriptive study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® and BOOSTRIX® vaccines among US adolescents.
New immunization recommendations in the US include vaccination of adolescents against pertussis and meningococcal disease. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid And Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed) and MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine against serotypes A, C, Y and W-135) vaccines be administered to adolescents at the same office visit if vaccination with both vaccines is indicated. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with Boostrix co-administered with Menactra as compared to the administration of either vaccine alone in healthy adolescents 11 - 18 years of age.
To further characterize the vaccine safety profile and to identify any signals of potentially vaccine-related adverse events (AEs) not detected during pre-licensure studies.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and tetanus antibody response to a Tdap vaccine in healthy plasma donors. The main question it aims to answer are: * Is it safe to give this vaccine multiple times over one year to plasma donors since the package insert for this vaccine indicates that it should administered once every 10 years? * What is the tetanus antibody response over time in these donors after receiving the vaccine multiple times during the study? Participants will receive a Tdap vaccination every 3 months ±2 weeks for 12 months (5 vaccinations) with a 6 month follow-up after the last vaccination. After obtaining informed consent and screening for eligibility including plasmapheresis donor eligibility, subjects will have other baseline assessments performed and if eligible, will receive the scheduled vaccinations, will be assessed for adverse events (AEs) and have plasma samples collected for antibody titers each month thereafter for 11 months, and then at 1 and 6 months after the last vaccination. As these subjects are participating in a standard donor plasmapheresis donor program, assessments for donor eligibility and routine plasmapheresis will be performed; however, only the data specifically required to meet the objectives of this study will be collected.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of Boostrix administered on or after the first day of the 27th week of pregnancy by conducting a post-marketing study that provided safety information to the public and healthcare providers. This was one of the largest cohorts of pregnant women vaccinated with Boostrix in the U.S. Through partnership between Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) and the sponsor, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), information about the safety of maternal vaccination with Boostrix and maternal and infant adverse events (AEs) in a community setting was gained.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of antibodies against all the vaccine antigens 1, 3, 5 and 9 years after an initial vaccination with Tdap, and also to assess immunogenicity and safety of another dose of Boostrix, administered in this study. This protocol posting deals with objectives and outcome measures of the extension phase. The objectives and outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00346073).
The current study will provide information for the use of Boostrix concomitantly with influenza vaccine in adults aged 19-64 years. This study will also provide safety and immunogenicity data in a cohort of adults aged greater than or equal to 65 years.
GSK Biologicals' dTpa vaccine has recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for booster vaccination of adolescents aged 10 to 18 years. The ACIP has recently issued provisional recommendations for universal adult Tdap vaccination. The current study will provide pivotal data in support of extending the age range for Boostrix vaccine to include adults 19-64 years of age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AFIX-OB model to determine its impact on the change in flu and pertussis (Tdap) uptake, provider knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, and patient knowledge, attitudes and beliefs regarding maternal vaccination. The structure of the model and quality improvement interventions are guided by theory including the elaboration likelihood model and P3 model. These quality improvement measures will be implemented in OB clinics within the Yale New Haven Health System.
The Office of Evaluation Sciences is collaborating with Emory University and the Atlanta VA Health Care System to increase adult immunizations uptake among veterans. The intervention targets patients of primary care providers (physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners) through a modification of the existing reminders in the VA electronic health record system. The team will evaluate the intervention using a randomized controlled trial.
This is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and effect on infant immune responses of a single dose of Tetanus diphtheria acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant women in Mali. 200 healthy pregnant women, ages 18 through 39 years, inclusive, who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Tdap (BOOSTRIX) or Tetanus diphtheria toxoid (Td) at 14 0/7 weeks through 26 6/7 weeks estimated Gestational Age (GA). For the fetuses of pregnant subjects, GA will be established by ultrasound, whenever possible, in combination with date of last menstrual period (LMP), when available, and fundal height. Study duration is 21 months: approximately 2 months in the start-up period, 6 months enrolling subjects, and 13 months (3-7 months while pregnant and 6 months postpartum) from last subject vaccinated until she and her infant complete follow-up. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the safety and tolerability of a single 0.5 mL intramuscular injection of BOOSTRIX in pregnant women; 2) to assess the safety of a single maternal BOOSTRIX vaccination on the fetus and infant; 3) to assess the level of Pertussis Toxin (PT) antibody at birth among infants whose mothers received a single dose of BOOSTRIX or Td while pregnant.
Background: When a person is exposed to something that causes an infection, the body sends a type of cell called CD8 T cells to attack it. Those cells are also found in breast milk. Nursing mothers pass these cells to their child, which helps the child fight infections, too. Researchers want to learn more about how CD8 cells work to keep people healthy. Objective: To learn more about how the human body fights off infections. Eligibility: People age 18 years and older who either have an infection, are suspected to have an infection, or recently got a vaccine. The household contacts of these people and people who have not been recently exposed to any infection are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical and health history and physical exam. They may have blood tests. The first study visit can be the same day as screening. It can be up to 3 months later. For those visits, screening tests will be repeated. At the first visit, participants will have blood collected from an arm vein. Participants who are breastfeeding may provide a small sample of breast milk. They may collect it at home or bring a pumping device to NIH to collect it. NIH can also provide a breast pump. Participants may be contacted for up to 1 year after the first visit to give samples of blood and/or breast milk. Up to 4 additional visits, which will each take about 1 hour, may be scheduled. A personal physician or local lab can collect blood from participants and ship it to NIH. Breast milk cannot be shipped.
Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates. Point-of-care prompts (either by an electronic health record message or by a nurse) when an adolescent patient comes in for any type of visit and is due for a vaccine was chosen. This study will determine if these prompts will increase immunization rates after a 12-month intervention period.
Previous work has shown that the epidemiological context of a patient's presentation can provide important information for clinicians to aid in diagnosis and treatment. With current electronic health records, it is increasingly possible to perform syndromic surveillance that is local and specific to a patient's characteristics. The investigators have developed algorithms for syndromic surveillance for a number of conditions in which contextual information might be of use to treating clinicians. The syndromic surveillance algorithms already developed are for influenza-like-illness, whooping cough, asthma exacerbation, Group A Streptococcal pharyngitis, and gastroenteritis infection. The investigators plan on studying these tools with a clustered randomized control cohort study evaluating how clinical decision making is affected by use of these tools by outpatient general practitioners. The goal is to incorporate these validated algorithms into a quality improvement tool which will provide point-of-care clinical decision support to clinicians
The primary research aim of this project is to test the effectiveness of a comprehensive, evidence-based vaccine promotion package implemented in the obstetric setting on increasing the likelihood that a pregnant woman in Georgia will receive an influenza and/or pertussis vaccine.
