Vaccines Treatment Options in California

To assess whether HIV-infected infants who receive a heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine have more local reactions at the site of injection and systemic reactions than placebo subjects. To assess whether this vaccine is more immunogenic than placebo following the third vaccination. Children with HIV infection are at increased risk for invasive pneumococcal infection, particularly bacteremia. A large proportion of pneumococcal disease is caused by a limited number of serotypes. The maximum number of pneumococcal serotypes that can be included in a new conjugate vaccine is felt to be limited by the amount of carrier protein. A heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has been developed that consists of pneumococcal capsular saccharides from serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F bound to a diphtheria toxin mutant carrier protein.

NOTE: This study has stopped enrolling new participants, and all study vaccinations for currently enrolled participants have been stopped. Currently, there are no vaccines approved for the prevention of HIV infection, but there are many clinical trials taking place that are studying experimental HIV vaccines. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three different HIV vaccine schedules in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response to the Vaccine Research Center (VRC) rAd5 HIV vaccine when the vaccine components are administered in three different ways, in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a VRC DNA/rAd5 vaccine regimen in healthy, circumcised men and male-to-female (MTF) transgender persons who have sex with men. NOTES: As of April 2013, all vaccinations in this study have been stopped. As of June 2017, this study has been closed. Read Less

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immune response to different combinations of two experimental HIV vaccines-the DNA-HIV-PT123 vaccine and the AIDSVAX® B/E vaccine-in healthy adults who are not infected with HIV. Read Less

HVTN 908 is a sub study of the HIV vaccine trial, HVTN 205. The purpose of this sub study is to better understand how a person's immune system responds to vaccines, particularly HIV vaccines. More specifically, researchers will determine whether early responses in the immune system help predict strong and long-lasting immunity. Read Less

This study will test the safety and immune responses of a prime-boost regimen of two HIV vaccines- a DNA vaccine followed by a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine- in healthy, HIV-uninfected, vaccinia-naive adults. Read Less

This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary immune response to recombinant adenoviral serotype 35 and 5 HIV-1 vaccines in HIV-uninfected adults. Read Less

This trial will comprehensively evaluate the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in cancer survivors between 9 and 26 years of age by (1) determining the prevalence of HPV vaccine initiation among young cancer survivors, and (2) determining the immune response to and safety/tolerability of the quadrivalent and nonavalent HPV vaccine in young cancer survivors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) candidate vaccine when first administered via intramuscular (IM) injection according to a 0, 1-month schedule to RSV-seropositive infants aged 12 to 23 months. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to describe the level of serum antibody and cellular immune responses conferred by FluMist and TIV against influenza virus strains. Read Less

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of respiratory illness in infants and children. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an RSV vaccine in healthy RSV-naïve children. Read Less
