Vaccines Treatment Options in California

Sarcoma patients are at high risk for their cancer to recur even when the sarcoma has been removed surgically or treated with radiation or chemotherapy. The patients in the study will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to receive either a vaccine that is combined with an immune system stimulant or the immune system stimulant alone. The immune system stimulant is called OPT-821 and is an immunological booster. The trivalent vaccine is being developed to teach the patient's immune system to recognize 3 types of sugars called GM2, GD2 and GD3 that are found primarily on the surface of sarcoma cells. If the trivalent vaccine can stimulate the patient's immune system to develop antibodies which recognize and target the GM2, GD2 and GM3 sugars, then the patient's antibodies could attack and kill any remaining sarcoma cells potentially preventing the recurrence of sarcoma.

This is a study to assess the immune (antibody) response and safety of a bioCSL split virion, inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine, in comparison with a US licensed 2014/2015 trivalent influenza vaccine (bioCSL TIV-1), and a trivalent influenza vaccine containing the alternate B strain (bioCSL TIV-2), in healthy adult volunteers aged 18 years and above.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vaccination with NicVAX will result in a higher continuous abstinence rate than vaccination with placebo in smokers who want to quit smoking. In addition, two different formulations and dosing schedules will be studied, to select the dose and dosing schedule which generates the highest level of anti-nicotine antibodies. The primary study period is 12 months, which was extended by amendment to include up to 2 years of observations. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two serogroup B meningococcal vaccines in comparison to placebo administered to healthy adolescents ages 11 to 18 years. Read Less

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone Intradermal Quadrivalent vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years of age, and of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. Primary Objective: - To describe the safety of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone Intradermal Quadrivalent vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years of age and the safety of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. Observational Objectives: * To describe the immunogenicity of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone Intradermal Quadrivalent vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years of age and the immunogenicity of the 2015-2016 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. * To evaluate the compliance, in terms of immunogenicity, of each study vaccine (Fluzone Quadrivalent, Fluzone Intradermal Quadrivalent, and Fluzone High-Dose) in the applicable age group with the historical requirements of the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) Note for Guidance (NfG) Committee for Propriety Medicinal Products (CPMP) - CHMP NfG CPMP/BWP/214/96.

The booster phase of the study will evaluate the safety of Hib-MenCY-TT vaccine compared to a control group receiving licensed Hib conjugate vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age. This protocol posting deals with objectives \& outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives \& outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT number = NCT00345579). No new recruitment will take place during this booster phase of the study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007. Read Less

Evaluate, one month after the third dose, the lot-to-lot consistency of 3 different commercial scale production lots of the candidate vaccine in healthy HSV 1-/2- females aged 10-17 years, determined by ELISA. Absence in significant variation for both parameters among the tested lots was hypothesized. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine when given concomitantly with seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine to adults 50 years and older who have previously received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

This study is designed to test lot consistency of three different manufacturing lots and to generate safety and immunogenicity data of the investigational vaccine administered via the ID route. Primary Objective: * To demonstrate lot consistency of the Fluzone ID manufacturing process. * To provide information concerning the immune response of Fluzone ID. Secondary Objectives: Safety * To describe the safety profile of subjects who receive of Fluzone ID. Read Less

The present formulations are being developed for further study in the elderly population in order to generate additional supporting data. Primary Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of post-vaccination immunogenicity of subjects who received either 1 of the 2 investigational formulations of a trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) compared to that of the standard Fluzone® in elderly subjects. 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

To compare the seroprotection rates and booster responses to Canadian-manufactured Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids Adsorbed vaccine to the seroprotection rates and booster responses to the US-manufactured Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids Adsorbed vaccine when administered to subjects ≥ 60 years of age. To compare the post-vaccination geometric mean titers of antibody (GMTs) to Canadian manufactured Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids Adsorbed vaccine to the post-vaccination GMTs to the US manufactured Tetanus and Diphtheria Toxoids Adsorbed vaccine when administered to subjects ≥ 60 years of age.

The purpose of this study is to generate additional data on the immunogenicity and safety of revaccination with Fluzone Intradermal (ID) or Fluzone Intramuscular (IM) vaccine. Primary Objective: * To evaluate and describe the safety profile of revaccination with Fluzone ID for all participants. Secondary Objective: * To describe immunogenicity following revaccination with Fluzone ID or Fluzone IM. Read Less
