Vaccines Treatment Options in San Jose, CA

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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of rMenB+OMV NZ and MenACWY vaccines when concomitantly administered to healthy subjects 16-18 years of age. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess immune response and safety of various potencies of a measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRVNS) vaccines given to healthy children of 4 to 6 years of age. Read Less

This study is a Phase III, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to be conducted in healthy infants and toddlers which will be enrolled at approximately 6 months of age (Cohort 1) and approximately 12 months of age (Cohort 2). The primary objective of the study will be to assess non-inferiority of the RSV infant and toddler (RSVt) vaccine antibody response when administered concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines at 6 months of age (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis, Inactivated Poliovirus, Haemophilus b Conjugate and Hepatitis B Vaccine \[Vaxelis® or Pentacel® and Recombivax HB®\] Prevnar 20®, and RotaTeq®), and 12 months of age (M-M-R II, VARIVAX, and Prevnar 20 or per local country recommendations) compared to when administered non-concomitantly.

To determine the frequency of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions in HIV-positive patients to two doses of two envelope glycoprotein antigens prepared differently. To determine whether patients who have previously demonstrated a DTH response to intradermal MGStage HIV-1 gp160 IIIB baculovirus (MicroGeneSys) have a reproducible response to a repeat injection of gp160 and whether there is cross-reactivity to intradermal HIV-1 rgp160 IIIB vero cell expressed (Immuno-AG). PER 4/5/95 AMENDMENT: To also determine whether patients who respond to HIV-1 rgp160 IIIB baculovirus (MicroGeneSys) have cross-reactivity to intradermal skin tests of HIV-1 rgp160 MN (Immuno-AG). Previous studies in individuals immunized with gp160 suggest that a skin test response in immunized patients can be used as a surrogate marker for new proliferative and cytotoxic responses induced by vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR (Priorix), comparing it to Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R II), which is approved for use in the US in healthy children 12 to 15 months of age. Read Less

The aims of this trial are to demonstrate the consistency of three manufacturing lots of GSK Biologicals' DTaP-IPV candidate vaccine in terms of immunogenicity and to evaluate the non-inferiority of GSK Biologicals' DTaP-IPV vaccine with respect to immunogenicity and safety compared to the control vaccines (separate injections of GSK Biologicals' DTaP vaccine \[Infanrix\] and Aventis Pasteur's IPV vaccine \[IPOL\]) when administered as a 5th dose of DTaP and a 4th dose of inactivated poliovirus vaccine in subjects 4 to 6 years of age. Vaccines will be co-administered with the second dose of M-M-RII, which is recommended at this age. Concomitant administration of a US-licensed influenza vaccine will be allowed according to seasonal availability of vaccine and at the discretion of the investigator. Read Less

The primary objective is to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in adolescents previously enrolled in the V59P13 study who received either Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine or commercially available MenACWY conjugate vaccine. The study will also enroll age-matched subjects who have never received any other meningococcal vaccine (naïve subjects) to serve as an additional control group. Read Less

This is a modified single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, comparative, multicenter study to test Menactra vaccine in toddlers. Primary Objectives: * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) vaccine when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccine (PCV) when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. Observational Objectives: Safety - To describe the safety profile throughout the course of the study from Day 0 up to 6 months after the last study vaccination\[s\]) in subjects in the study groups. Immunogenicity: - To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, 30 days after the first and second Menactra vaccine administration in a subset of subjects in the first study group.

RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining these two treatments may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining vaccine therapy with radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been completely removed in surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the "late" immune response to further doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine more than 10 years after primary immunization with Prevnar (7vPnC) in infancy, as compared with individuals who did not receive Prevnar in infancy (the Prevnar naive cohort which received MnCC). The study will take place at a single study center. Study participants must have participated previously in a specific Wyeth Prevnar study (Study D118-P8) and must still be enrolled in the Northern California Kaiser Permanente (NCKP) health plan.
