Vaccines Treatment Options in Tucson, AZ

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a vaccine composed of patients' own melanoma cells treated with the chemical, dinitrophenyl (DNP)(called a hapten), is safe and stimulates an immune response to patients' own cancer cells. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness (seroprotection and seroconversion as measured by the hemagglutination inhibition \[HI\] assay) of an investigational Vero cell-derived, trivalent, seasonal influenza vaccine in adults 50 years of age and older. Subjects will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive a single intramuscular injection of either the investigational vaccine or a licensed egg-derived seasonal influenza vaccine. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for a determination of HI antibody titers on Days 0 and 21, body temperature and injection site reactions will be monitored daily for 7 days. In addition, subjects will be monitored for adverse events and rises in body temperature until Day 21 and again until Day 180. Read Less

The aim of the study is to demonstrate safety and immunogenicity of the quadrivalent influenza intradermal (QIV-ID) vaccine compared to the trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) containing the B strain from the primary (Yamagata) lineage (TIV-ID1) and the trivalent influenza vaccine containing B strain from the alternate (Victoria) lineage (TIV-ID2) vaccines in producing protection against four strains of influenza virus. Primary Objective: * To demonstrate that QIV-ID induces an immune response (as assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates) that is non-inferior to responses induced by TIV-ID1 and TIV-ID2 for the 4 virus strains at 28 days post-vaccination. Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate that each B strain in QIV-ID induces an immune response (as assessed by HAI GMTs and seroconversion rates) that is superior to the response induced by the TIV-ID that does not contain the corresponding B strain. * To describe the rate of post-vaccination seroprotection induced by QIV-ID and TIV-ID. * To describe post-vaccination immunogenicity stratified by age (18-49 years and 50-64 years), race, ethnicity, gender, previous vaccination status, and baseline seropositivity status. * To describe the safety profile for subjects who receive QIV-ID and TIV-ID. Observational Objectives: * To demonstrate non-inferiority of QIV-ID compared to TIV-ID in terms of all Grade 2 or Grade 3 solicited systemic reactions combined * To demonstrate non-inferiority of QIV-ID compared to TIV-ID in terms of all Grade 3 solicited injection site reactions combined.

Up to 220 eligible subjects will be enrolled into one of five treatment groups. It is anticipated that some of the randomized study subjects may not complete the study; subjects who withdraw or are discontinued, will not be replaced. Randomization will be stratified by age (60 to \<75 years and ≥ 75 years) in order to distribute the proportion of such persons in each age group equally across treatment groups. Treatments will comprise a single IM dose of a placebo or RSV-F protein nanoparticle vaccine on Day 0, with concurrent IM immunization with a licensed inactivated influenza vaccine. A rescue dose of the licensed TIV will be provided to subjects in all groups except the placebo group on Day 28, the placebo group will receive saline. For each subject, study follow-up will span approximately one year from the first immunization (on Day 0) for all subjects. Read Less

This is a multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a Fluzone revaccination in elderly adults aged ≥ 65 years. Primary Objective: To describe the safety profile for all subjects. Secondary Objective: To describe immunogenicity 28 days following revaccination with one of three Fluzone formulations. Read Less

Primary Objective: To describe the immune response to a single administration of 2 formulations of the investigational cell-based influenza vaccines in healthy adult subjects. Secondary Objective: To describe the safety following a single administration of 2 formulations of the investigational cell-based influenza vaccines in healthy adult subjects. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with vaccine therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate NicVAX as an aid to smoking cessation for long term abstinence. Read Less

As a result of the safety and immunogenicity data generated from earlier dose-ranging studies, the present formulation has been selected for further development in the elderly. Primary Objective: To compare the immunogenicity in subjects receiving investigational Fluzone with those of subjects receiving standard Fluzone®. Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity: To describe the immunogenicity in subjects receiving investigational Fluzone and standard Fluzone®. Safety: To evaluate and describe the safety profile of investigational Fluzone in terms of solicited- and unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events post-vaccination. Read Less

This Phase 2(a) clinical trial is designed as a dose-blinded, block-randomized, multi-center study to select a dosage and schedule of rF1V vaccine for further studies based on the immune response up to Day 210. Additional immunogenicity and safety/reactogenicity data will be collected through Day 540. Selection of dosage and schedule will be based on GMCs and seroconversion rates for anti-F1, anti-V and anti-rF1V antibody titers. Approximately 400 healthy adult volunteers will be enrolled (100 per group) in this study. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MDX-010 (ipilimumab, BMS-734016) (anti-CTLA4) in combination with MDX-1379 (gp100, BMS-734019) in patients with previously treated, unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. Survival time will be evaluated, as well as patient responses and time to disease progression. Eligible patients are those who in response to a single regimen containing interleukin-2 (IL-2), dacarbazine, and/or temozolomide, have 1) relapsed following an objective response (partial response/complete response \[PR/CR\]); 2) failed to demonstrate an objective response (PR/CR); or 3) could not tolerate such a regimen due to unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be randomized into one of three groups, and will receive one of the following treatments: MDX-010 alone, MDX-1379 alone, or MDX-010 in combination with MDX-1379. Read Less
