Vaccines Treatment Options in California

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of different formulations of a single intramuscular dose of GSK Biologicals' investigational RSV vaccine, in healthy, non-pregnant women aged 18 to 45 years. Read Less

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been clearly established as the central cause of cervical cancer. This study will further evaluate induction of immune memory and anamnestic responses in women who previously took part in the primary study (580299/001) and follow-up study (580299/007). Subjects were aged 15-25 yrs at the time of entry into the primary study and participation in the follow-up study lasted approximately 6 years. In the primary and follow-up studies, subjects were protected against HPV-16 and HPV-18 endpoints and had sustained antibody responses to both vaccine types over at least 5.5 years of follow-up. All subjects from North American study sites that completed the follow-up study will be invited to take part in the current study. The study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a dose of GSK Biologicals HPV vaccine (580299) in women who had been immunologically primed in the primary study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007. Read Less

This study evaluates the reduction in viral shedding after vaccination with a new formulation of GEN-003 in subjects with genital HSV-2 infection. Two-thirds of the participants will receive GEN-003, one-third will receive placebo. Read Less

This is an exploratory study using a strategy that has not been previously employed to investigate the effects of age and vaccine type on specific kinds of immune responses to licensed, seasonal 2009-2010 influenza vaccines in children and adults. Read Less

This phase I trial studies the side effects and recommended dose of the combination of p53MVA vaccine (modified vaccinia virus ankara vaccine expressing tumor protein p53 \[p53\]) and gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer that has come back. Vaccines made from inserting a laboratory-treated gene into a person's tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express p53. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving modified vaccinia virus ankara vaccine expressing p53 together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to investigate the responses to licensed trivalent, inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) delivered by different routes: intramuscular (IM) and intradermal (ID) and to the live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) administered intranasally -- all given to generally healthy male and female adult volunteers.

This observer-blind study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' investigational Herpes Zoster (HZ) vaccine GSK1437173A in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected subjects, firstly enrolling subjects treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and with high CD4 T cell counts, and subsequently ART-treated subjects with low CD4 T cell counts, and ART-naïve subjects with high CD4 T cell counts. This Protocol Posting has been updated following Amendment 1 of the Protocol, August 2010. The impacted sections is exclusion criteria. Read Less

The aim of this study is to generate data on immunogenicity and safety of Purified Vero Rabies Vaccine - Serum Free (VRVg) in comparison with Imovax® Rabies in order to support the registration of VRVg in the USA. Primary Objectives: * To demonstrate that VRVg is non inferior to Imovax® Rabies in terms of proportion of subjects achieving an rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer ≥ 0.5 IU/mL at Day 42. * To demonstrate that the observed proportion of subjects achieving an RVNA titer ≥ 0.5 IU/mL at Day 42 is at least 99%, with a 95% lower confidence limit of at least 97%. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the clinical safety of VRVg each vaccine after each vaccine injection when administered in a pre-exposure schedule. * To describe the immune response induced by each vaccine 21 days after two vaccinations (Day 28) in a randomized subset of subjects and 14 days after the last vaccination of the primary vaccination series. * To describe antibody persistence at 6 and 12 months after the first vaccination in all subjects, and at 18 and 24 months in a subset of subjects.

The purpose of this observer-blind study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' investigational Herpes Zoster vaccine GSK1437173A when administered as 2 doses or 3 doses to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Read Less

GV-TH-01 is an open label Phase 1 study of 9 HIV-1 infected adults with suppressed viremia who started anti-retroviral therapy (ART) within 18 months of a negative HIV antibody test. This study has 3 phases. The first phase is the vaccination phase, where patients are vaccinated with pGA2/JS7 (JS7)DNA and MVA62B vaccines on a prime/boost regimen. The second phase of the study is a treatment interruption phase, whereby ART is interrupted for a 12 week period approximately 8 weeks following the last vaccination. The third phase occurs after the 12 week treatment interruption phase and is called the treatment reinstitution phase, because subjects reinstitute ART and are followed for an additional 24 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the vaccines during the three phases of the study. A secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity of the vaccines during the vaccination phase of the study. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to retrospectively characterize the safety of Flublok in adults 18 years of age and older, in comparison with egg-based trivalent or quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIVs), using a methodological approach designed to query the database of electronic health records (EHR) maintained by Kaiser-Permanente, Northern California (KPNC), a large medical care organization (MCO).

This is a randomized, double-blind, factorial study to compare the reduction in viral shedding among 6 different combinations of GEN-003, a therapeutic HSV-2 vaccine and Matrix-M2 adjuvant. Secondary objectives of the study include: * Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of GEN-003 in combination with Matrix-M2 compared to placebo. * Comparison of the impact on clinical Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (HSV-2) disease among the 6 different combinations of GEN-003 antigens and Matrix-M2 adjuvant measured by: * Time to first clinical and/or virologic recurrence, * Proportion of subjects who are recurrence free at 6 and 12 months after the last dose of vaccine, * Lesion rate (percent of days with genital lesions present) during the post-vaccination swabbing periods. * Evaluation of cellular and humoral responses to GEN-003 antigens. Additional objectives include: * Assessment of the correlation between immune responses and change in viral shedding or impact on clinical disease as defined above. * Determination of the recurrence rate in a subset of subjects not receiving suppressive antivirals throughout the study. Eligible subjects will enter a baseline period to collect anogenital swabs for 28 consecutive days prior to randomization. Each subject will receive up to 3 doses at 21 day intervals. Subjects will be followed for safety and immunologic response for 12 months following their last dose. Read Less
