127 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety, tolerability and immune effects of a pneumococcal vaccine in toddlers. Participants will take part in this study for approximately 6 or 8 months depending on which group they are assigned to. During this time participants will have 2 clinic visits and 1 phone visit for the 1-Dose group, or 3 clinic visits and 1 phone visit for the 2-Dose group. At these clinic visits, participants will be asked if any side effects were experienced. The participants will also have to give blood samples during some clinic visits.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine and how the new pneumococcal vaccine helps to fight against germs in infants when compared to the pneumococcal vaccines that are currently in use, 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®) or another licensed pneumococcal vaccine. To ensure that the new vaccine (PG4) stays stable, it is placed in a liquid mixture of sterile water and other substances (a solution). This study will also test if there is a difference in the safety and immune effects of the new pneumococcal vaccine when it is one type of solution compared to when it is in a different type of solution. The immune response is how the body's cells; tissues and organs work together to protect the body from infection. Blood samples will be used to measure the amount of antibodies produced after the vaccination. Antibodies are proteins that protect you when an unwanted germ enters the body. This will help understand how well the new pneumococcal vaccine works. This vaccine can possibly provide protection against pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal disease includes a variety of infections caused by a specific germ, Streptococcus pneumoniae. This study is seeking participants who are: * male or female infants who are 2 months of age, * infants born at 36 weeks (about 8 and a half months) of pregnancy or later; and, * said to be healthy by the study doctor There are four groups in this study. All participants will be assigned to one of the four groups. All study vaccines will be given as a single shot into the left thigh muscle. Participants in the three groups will have 3 blood samples collected during the 1 and a half years they are in the study. The first 400 participants who enter the study will be assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2. Half the participants in Group 1 and half the participants in Group 2 will receive 4 doses at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age of PG4 mixed in the first solution. The other half of the participants in Groups 1 and 2 will receive 4 doses of 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®) at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. The main difference between Groups 1 and 2 is that participants in Group 2 will have the first blood sample collected at an earlier time than those in Group 1. Once 400 participants have been assigned to Groups 1 and 2 then 100 new participants will be assigned to Group 3. Half the participants in Group 3 will receive PG4 in the second solution at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. The other half of the participants in Groups 3 will receive 4 doses of 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®) at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. Once the 100 participants have been assigned to Group 3 then 300 new participants will be assigned to Group 4. Half the participants in Group 4 will receive PG4 in the first solution at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. The other half of the participants in Group 4 will receive 4 doses of a licensed pneumococcal comparator vaccine at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. Participants will take part in this study for about 16 to 19 months (about 1 and a half years). During this time, participants will have 6 study clinic visits and 1 to 2 phone calls. At these study clinic visits, parent(s) or legal guardian(s) will be asked if the participant experienced any side effects. A side effect is an unintentional or unexpected reaction to a vaccine.
The objectives of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of MVX01, a pneumococcal vaccine candidate, at four dose levels.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immune effects of a pneumococcal vaccine in adults. This vaccine can possibly provide protection against further pneumococcal disease. This study will happen in 3 stages: Stage 1 is seeking participants who are between 18 years to 49 years of age. The participants will receive 1 of 2 pneumococcal vaccine candidates (different formulations) or 20vPnC (Prevnar 20) as a single shot given into the upper arm muscle. Stage 2 will begin after participants have completed Stage 1, and a pneumococcal vaccine candidate has been decided. Stage 2 is seeking participants who are adults 50 years of age and older. The participants will receive the chosen pneumococcal vaccine candidate from Stage 1 or 20vPnC (Prevnar 20). The vaccines will be given as a single shot into the upper arm muscle. Stage 3 is seeking participants who are adults 50 years of age and older. The participants will receive the chosen pneumococcal vaccine candidate from Stage 1 or a licensed pneumococcal comparator vaccine. The vaccines will be given as a single shot into the upper arm muscle. Participants will take part in this study for about 6 months for Stage 1 and Stage 3, and 12 months for Stage 2. During this time participants will have from 2 to 4 clinic visits and 1 phone visit. At these clinic visits, participants will be asked if any side effects were experienced. The participants will also have to give blood samples during these clinic visits.
This study focuses on the role of neutrophils in shaping the adaptive immune response to the anti-pneumococcal vaccine Prevnar-13 in young and elderly adults.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about a pneumococcal vaccine with a new ingredient (PF-07872411) intended to enhance the effects of the vaccine. This pneumococcal vaccine with the new ingredient may prevent the diseases caused by pneumococcal bacteria like meningitis, sepsis, ear infections and sinusitis. Meningitis is an infection in which the tissue around the brain and spine is swollen. Sepsis is a very serious infection in your blood caused by a germ (a bacteria). Sinusitis is when your sinuses (the air-filled spaces inside your nose and head), are infected. This study is seeking for healthy participants who: * are above 50 years of age and less than 64 years of age. * have not taken any vaccine for pneumococcal diseases before. * have not taken any vaccines with additional ingredients within 1 year before administration of the study vaccine. All participants will receive a single study vaccine shot in the upper arm muscle at the study clinic. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving the vaccine with a new ingredient in the vaccine to those without the new ingredient. This will be done by comparing 2 different dose levels of the new ingredient. It will also be compared against people who receive the vaccine without the new ingredient and at different dose levels. This will help the study team establish if the vaccine with a new ingredient is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for about 12 months. During this time participants will have up to 6 clinic visits. At these clinic visits, participants will be asked if any side effects were experienced. The participants will also have to give blood samples during these visits. Some participants will need to have blood taken for laboratory tests before they can be judged to be eligible to be included in the study.
The purpose of this study is to learn about how well a vaccine (Prevnar 13, PCV13) works in preventing disease in adults with HIV. The diseases studied are pneumonia. Mostly the ones caused by the bacteria - pneumococcus. This study also evaluates the type of pneumonia that is spread into the bloodstream. All participants in the study will be identified in health care databases. Adults with HIV will be identified by looking for a medical diagnosis that has confirmed HIV from the databases. Vaccination will be identified in the databases by looking for vaccine administration or for PCV13. Participants will be followed in the databases to see if they have one of the diseases mentioned above or not. The number of vaccinated participants with the diseases will be compared to the number participants without the vaccines but with the diseases. This will help to understand how well the vaccine worked.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled study of the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PCV20 (pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (\[Prevnar 20™ / APEXXNAR™\]) in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults. It is hypothesized that V116 is noninferior to PCV20 for the common serotypes and superior to PCV20 for the unique serotypes as assessed by serotype specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) 30 days postvaccination. It is also hypothesized that V116 in participants 18 to 49 years of age immunobridges to V116 in participants 50 to 64 years of age as assessed by serotype specific OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) 30 days postvaccination for all 21 serotypes in V116. Participants ≥50 years of age will be enrolled in Cohort 1, and participants 18 to 49 years of age will be enrolled in Cohort 2.
This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who previously received a pneumococcal vaccination ≥1 year before enrollment. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116.
This phase II trial compares the effect of initial vaccination (PCV20 followed by PSV23) with yearly vaccinations of PSV23 to the standard 5 year vaccination in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At present chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are poorly protected by anti-pneumococcal vaccination. Current vaccination schedule for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is based on general recommendations in immunocompromised patients (initial vaccination with PCV13 followed by one dose of PSV23 after an interval of two months, followed by revaccination at 5 years). Giving patients frequent immunization as compared to 5 year immunization may result in higher protective titers in patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three dose levels of ASP3772 in comparison to the active comparator Prevnar 13® (PCV13) in toddlers who have previously been administered the routine three-dose series of PCV13. This study will also evaluate the immunogenicity (production of an immune response) of three different dose levels of ASP3772 in comparison to the active comparator PCV13 in toddlers who have previously been administered the routine three-dose series of PCV13.
This Phase 3 will describe the safety and immunogenicity of a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulation in adults 65 years of age or older with prior pneumococcal vaccination
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study with a 4-arm parallel design. Adults 18 through 49 years of age with no history of pneumococcal vaccination will be randomized in a 2:2:2:1 ratio to receive a single dose of: 20vPnC Lot 1; 20vPnC Lot 2; 20vPnC Lot 3; or 13vPnC.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 different dose levels of ASP3772 in comparison to the active comparator Prevnar 13® (PCV13) in adults 18 to 64 years of age in Stage 1. Stage 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 different dose levels of ASP3772 in comparison to the active comparator PCV13 in elderly 65 to 85 years of age. In addition, Stage 2 will evaluate the immunogenicity of 3 different dose levels of ASP3772 relative to the response seen following administration of Pneumovax® 23 (PPSV23) for the serotypes not included in PCV13.
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a 20-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Pneumococcal Vaccine-Naïve Adults
This Phase 1b will describe the safety and immunogenicity of 2 multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulations in healthy Japanese adults in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Bexsero (meningococcal group B vaccine-rMenB+OMV NZ) in North American infants 6 weeks through 12 weeks of age, when administered concomitantly with Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 13) and other recommended routine infant vaccines(RIV).
This is a Phase 2, randomized, active-controlled, open-label study with a 3-arm parallel design. Healthy 2-month old infants (42 to 98 days of age) with no history of pneumococcal vaccination will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a 4-dose series of: multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine coadministered with Prevnar 13 (Group 1); multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine given 1 month after Prevnar 13 (Group 2); or Prevnar 13 with a single dose of multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Group 3).
A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Multivalent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants
Investigators are assessing if patients with asthma respond better to the Pneumovax vaccine if they are given Prevnar initially.
This is a prospective, single-site, randomized, then open-label study designed to develop a detailed transcriptional and epigenetic profile of the immune response to pneumococcal vaccination with conjugated and non-conjugated polysaccharide vaccines in the senescent immune system of older adults. In this study, 40 healthy adults ages 60 and older that have never received pneumococcal vaccination, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Prevnar-13 (Pfizer), a conjugated 13-valent vaccine or Pneumovax 23 (Merck), a non-conjugated 23-valent vaccine. Following randomized assignment of vaccine, the study will be open-label. Six (6) study visits will occur over about 70 days, with an optional 7th visit for participants to receive a second vaccination with the other pneumococcal vaccine one to two years after randomization. Participants will provide blood samples for transcriptional, epigenetic and biological analyses pre- and post-vaccination.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is complicated by high rates of infections and cancers which are often the cause of death rather than the HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus itself. Treatment of HIV with antiretroviral medications has decreased the frequency of many complications by over 90%, but bacterial pneumonia remains extremely high. Current vaccines are not very effective in preventing these infections in patients with HIV infection. The investigators are studying the cells (B cells) that make antibodies to fight infection by binding to and killing bacteria. The goal is to understand how HIV impairs the ability of B cells to make antibodies in sufficient quantity and of sufficient quality to protect patients with HIV to learn how to enhance protection against these infections. The investigators also seek to understand the role of the bacteria (specifically Streptococcus pneumoniae) that normally live in the nose and throat in the development of pneumonia and other infections.
The purpose of the study is to determine the response of 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine in patients 50 years or older with end stage renal disease on dialysis. The study will also try to determine Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization in patients 50 years or older with end stage renal disease on dialysis.
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Phase 2 Study To assess the Immune Response Following Administration of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccines to Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis receiving CP-690,550 with and Without background Methotrexate
The purpose of this trial is to assess the affect of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) treatment on antibody response to T cell-independent and T cell-dependent immunizations using pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, respectively.
Investigators in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Division of Hospital Medicine of The George Washington University Medical Center are carrying out a study to determine if hospitalized patients receiving the polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine during an acute illness develop an adequate antibody response. The study group will consist of individuals diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted to the Medicine ward under the Pneumonia Core Measure Protocol, which assigns appropriate patients for vaccination based on the current guidelines from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
The lack of clear guidelines and studies addressing the proper response to the pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumovax ®) has hampered our ability to diagnosis and care for our immunodeficiency patients. Should an age matched normal response range to the Pneumovax ® be established, it would have a profound impact in the diagnosis, safety and care of immunodeficiency patients. Moreover, characterizing the B cell compartments response to the Pneumovax ® may better delineate the mechanism of protective immunity from Pneumovax ® and provide an additional tool for the diagnosis and care for immunodeficiency patients.
A vaccine causes the immune system to produce antibodies (immune response) to specific germs to protect the patient. This study evaluates the immune response to the pneumococcal vaccine in adults with Alefacept-treated chronic plaque psoriasis.
Pneumococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection that can affect different parts of the body, including the lungs. People with chronic illnesses, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have a greater risk of developing pneumonia and meningitis as a result of pneumococcal disease. This study will compare the immune response to two types of pneumococcal vaccines in adults with COPD.
According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), all people aged 50 years or older and persons aged less than 50 years who have medical conditions that put them at increased risk for serious influenza disease should receive an annual influenza vaccination. However, since the mid-1990s, vaccination rates and racial disparities have mostly remained static, and there has been limited progress towards the Healthy People 2010 objectives for influenza vaccination coverage. The purpose of this study is to determine what proportion of previously unvaccinated persons in target groups for whom influenza and pneumococcal vaccine are recommended will accept and receive influenza and/or pneumococcal vaccine in an urban emergency department (ED), and to estimate the potential impact of ED vaccination on population-based vaccination coverage. The intervention will utilize a combination of assessment survey, vaccine information and pre-printed vaccine order sheets. The target population for influenza vaccinations includes all patients aged 18 years and older for whom influenza vaccine is recommended by the ACIP. This includes all persons aged 50 years and older and persons aged 18 to 49 years who are in one of the following groups: 1) health care workers, 2) pregnant women, 3) residents of long-term care facilities, 4) household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of children aged 0 to 23 months, or 5) persons with underlying chronic medical conditions which increase their risk of influenza-related complications. The target population for pneumococcal vaccination includes all patients aged 65 years or older who have not previously been vaccinated against pneumococcus or have not received the vaccine within 5 years (and were less than 65 years at the time of vaccination).
