Vaccines Treatment Options in California

The main purpose of this Phase II study was to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a dose of Fluzone High-Dose (HD) Quadrivalent vaccine and a third dose or booster dose of Moderna coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) vaccine administered concomitantly or singly in adults 65 years of age and older having received their second dose of the 2-dose schedule of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least 5 months before enrollment in the study.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the vaccine seroresponse sufficiency of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a booster dose of meningococcal Polysaccharide (Serogroups A, C, Y and W) Tetanus Toxoid (MenACYW) Conjugate vaccine: * In Group 1 participants who were first vaccinated with 1 dose of MenACYW Conjugate vaccine 3-6 years before the booster dose. * In Group 2 participants who were first vaccinated with 1 dose of Menveo vaccine (meningococcal \[Groups A, C, Y and W135\] Oligosaccharide Diphtheria CRM197 Conjugate vaccine) 3-6 years before the booster dose. Secondary Objective: To describe: * The vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (serum bactericidal assay using human complement \[hSBA\] titer greater than or equal to \[\>=\]1:8), and antibody responses (geometric mean titers \[GMTs\]) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using hSBA in serum specimens collected 6 days (±1 day) after vaccination in a subset of 50 participants per group (Groups 1 and 2). * The vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (hSBA titer \>=1:8), and antibody responses (GMTs) to serogroups A, C, Y, and W measured using hSBA on Day (D)0 (pre-vaccination) and D30 (+14 days) after vaccination with MenACYW Conjugate vaccine alone (Groups 1 and 2). * The antibody persistence (GMTs and vaccine seroprotection; hSBA titer \>=1:8) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W before a booster dose in participants who received either MenACYW Conjugate vaccine or Menveo vaccine 3-6 years earlier. * The antibody persistence (GMTs and vaccine seroprotection; hSBA titer \>=1:8) of meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W in participants who received either a single dose MenACYW Conjugate vaccine (participants randomized to MET59 Groups 1, 3, and 4) or Menveo vaccine (participants assigned to MET59 Group 2), as part of study MET50, or MET43 (participants randomized to MET59 Groups 1, 3 and 4). * To describe the vaccine seroresponse, seroprotection (hSBA titer \>=1:8), and antibody responses (GMTs) to the antigens present in MenACYW Conjugate vaccine, when MenACYW Conjugate vaccine was given concomitantly with meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccine (Groups 3 and 4), compared to those when it was given alone (Group 1).

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial of vaccine therapy plus sargramostim following chemotherapy in treating patients who have previously untreated aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Read Less

This study will evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness of quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV4) versus quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV4) in preventing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed influenza and influenza-related outcomes in adults ≥65 years of age during the 2023/24 and 2024/25 influenza seasons. The study is an observational study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), an integrated health care system in the United States. Read Less

This randomized phase II trial studies how well PROSTVAC (prostate-specific antigen \[PSA\]-TRICOM) works in preventing disease progression in patients with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance. Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express PSA. Read Less

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying four different vaccines using melanoma peptides from cytotoxic T cells and helper T cells to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic melanoma.

This Phase 3 study was intended to assess the relative efficacy of the Quadrivalent VLP Influenza Vaccine during the 2018-2019 influenza season compared to a licensed vaccine in elderly adults 65 years of age and older. One dose of VLP Influenza Vaccine (30 μg/strain) or of Comparator (15 μg/strain) was to be administered to 12,738 participants. Read Less

The central premise of our program is that durable control of HIV in the absence of antiretroviral therapy ("remission") will require the generation of de novo potent and sustained HIV-specific CD8+ cell responses that target evolutionarily conserved epitopes. Our program is inspired by the recent success of VGX-3100 (Inovio), a DNA therapeutic vaccine for HPV that leads to histopathologic regression of pre-malignant lesions in people and is associated with a potent, sustained boost to HPV-specific CD8+ T cell populations. A closely related multi-clade gag/pol/env DNA vaccine administered with an IL-12 DNA plasmid (PENNVAX, Inovio) has been studied for HIV prevention and is known to be both safe and highly immunogenic. In a randomized placebo-controlled study we will compare the immunogenicity and anti-reservoir activities of gag/pol DNA versus gag/pol/env DNA (both administered with IL-12). We will determine for the first time in established HIV disease whether presence of env in a DNA vaccine blunts T cell responses to more conserved Gag-specific and Pol-specific epitopes. We will also determine if Env-specific responses (which will presumably be mediated by antibodies and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, or ADCC) have a measurable effect on reservoir.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in: • People with prior COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) who were in the ACTIV-2/A5401 study. And • People who have never had COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection). Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 20vPnC in healthy infants. Read Less

In this study we are trying to understand whether previous infection with a particular virus, namely cytomegalovirus (CMV), influences the ability of the immune system to respond to new infections or vaccinations with age. Read Less
