Vaccines Treatment Options in Colorado

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose compared to standard dose Fluzone for laboratory-confirmed or culture-confirmed influenza caused by influenza types/subtypes that are similar (for laboratory-confirmed) or antigenically similar (for culture-confirmed) to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations. Primary Objective: * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to laboratory-confirmed influenza caused by any influenza viral types/subtypes, associated with the occurrence of a protocol-defined influenza-like-illnesses (ILI). Secondary Objectives: * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to laboratory-confirmed influenza, caused by any influenza viral types/subtypes, associated with the occurrence of a protocol-defined ILI. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to culture-confirmed influenza, caused by any influenza viral types/subtypes, associated with the occurrence of a protocol-defined ILI. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to culture-confirmed influenza caused by viral types/subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations, associated with the occurrence of a modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-defined ILI. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to culture-confirmed influenza caused by any influenza viral types/subtypes, associated with the occurrence of a modified CDC-defined ILI. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to culture-confirmed influenza caused by viral types/subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations, associated with the occurrence of a respiratory illness. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High-Dose to that of Fluzone in elderly adults, with respect to culture-confirmed influenza caused by any influenza viral types/subtypes, associated with the occurrence of a respiratory illness.

This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of the Novartis Meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with routine infant vaccinations to healthy infants. Read Less

The main objective is to determine whether immune responses to Tdap (GlaxoSmithKline, Boostrix®) and HPV vaccine (Merck \& Co., Inc., Gardasil®) when administered concomitantly with MenACWY are comparable to responses elicited by these vaccines when given alone. Read Less

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 aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2011-2012 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in participants aged 65 years and older. Objectives: * To describe the safety of Fluzone vaccine and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine among adults ≥ 65 years of age. * To describe the immunogenicity of Fluzone vaccine and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine among adults ≥ 65 years of age.

The primary objective of this phase 3b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Novartis MenACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with routine infant vaccinations to healthy infants Read Less

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor tissue may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (13vPnC) compare to the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine (7vPnC) and to compare the immune response to concomitant vaccines administered with 13vPnC and 7vPnC. Read Less

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine and that of Fluzone® vaccine in the elderly. Primary objective: To measure the efficacy of the vaccine, defined as the prevention of laboratory-confirmed influenza caused by viral types/subtypes that are antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations. Secondary objectives: * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine with that of Fluzone® vaccine in elderly adults, with respect to laboratory-confirmed influenza illness caused by any type or subtype of influenza virus. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine with that of Fluzone® vaccine in elderly adults, in preventing culture-confirmed influenza illness caused by viral types/subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with vaccine therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to see how the body's immune system changes after replacing and adding new anti-HIV drugs to a patient's current anti-HIV therapy. This study will also see whether adding drugs is safe. Patients who take part in A5136 are also eligible to take part in 2 substudies. The purpose of substudy A5140s is to see how many latently infected cells (cells in which the HIV virus survives) are in the lymph node (small, rounded structures that make disease-fighting cells). Substudy A5155s will be performed to see how many latently infected cells are in the blood before and after replacing and adding anti-HIV drugs. ACTG A5136 is a follow-up study to ACTG 315 and ACTG 375, which were designed to examine the effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in certain HIV-infected patients. Many HIV-infected patients have undergone long-term anti-HIV therapy and have had the virus suppressed. However, most of these patients still have problems with their immune systems. The reason for these problems is unknown. This study may help researchers understand what causes immune system problems in people who have low levels of HIV in their blood. Read Less
