Vaccines Treatment Options in Georgia

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 and preliminary immune response to recombinant adenoviral serotype 35 and 5 HIV-1 vaccines in HIV-uninfected adults. Read Less

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

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 overall aim of the study is to compare safety and immunogenicity of inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV), adjuvanted (FLUAD®) versus High-Dose inactivated influenza (Fluzone® High-Dose) vaccine in persons ≥65 years (20% aged ≥80 years). A prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial that will be conducted during the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 influenza seasons. During each season, approximately 220 older adults will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center and 140 older adults at Boston University Medical Center. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either adjuvanted influenza vaccine or High-Dose influenza vaccine. All subjects will receive vaccine and provide a blood draw at Visit 1, and then return for a second blood draw without vaccination about 4 weeks later to assess for influenza antibody titers. A subset of 100 subjects at Duke will provide a third blood draw 6 months post-vaccination to assess for waning of influenza antibody titers. Subjects will record the occurrence of local and systemic reactions (including fever, pain, tenderness, swelling, redness, general systemic systems), unsolicited adverse events, medical care utilization, and changes in medications over 8 days following vaccination. In addition, serious adverse events and events of clinical interest will be assessed through 42 days post-vaccination. Health-related quality of life will be assessed pre-vaccination (Day 1) and on Days 3 and 9 post-vaccination. Read Less

Due to recent concern of biowarfare and bioterrorism, the US government is making efforts to improve its ability to protect citizens against the smallpox virus. This study will evaluate safety of IMVAMUNE®, an investigational smallpox vaccine, and its ability to stimulate the immune system (the body's defense system). Two vaccine preparations have the same name but one is a liquid and one is a powder that has liquid added just before it is given. The vaccine that comes as a liquid will be injected (given as a shot) just under the skin (subcutaneously) or injected between the layers of the skin (intradermally). The powder formulation is only injected just under the skin. Approximately 495 adults, age 18 older born after 1971, which have not had smallpox vaccine before, may participate in the study for about 7 months. Read Less

The purposes of the clinical trial are to determine whether the SA4Ag vaccine can prevent postoperative Staphylococcus aureus infections in patients who are undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery, and to evaluate the safety of SA4Ag in patients who are undergoing elective spinal surgery.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with cervical cancer that does not go to remission despite treatment (persistent) or has come back (recurrent). Vaccines therapy may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Read Less

This phase 3 study is a randomized, double-blinded, comparator controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study of aQIV versus the US-licensed 2017-2018 adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV-1, Fluad), and versus an adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV-2), containing the alternate B strain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GSK Biologicals' vaccine GSK1557484A against pandemic avian (H5N1) influenza in adults at occupational risk of exposure to the virus. Read Less

The study is a prospective single site exploratory study to examine the impact of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved seasonal flu vaccine on the immune responses of H5N1 vaccine previously received with or without the AS03 adjuvant. Read Less

This Phase 2 Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine study is intended to replicate and extend the immunogenicity and safety results obtained in earlier Phase 1-2 and Phase 2 studies. The study is being conducted to evaluate that the immunogenicity profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine meets the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) licensure criteria and to evaluate if the immunogenicity and the safety profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine is acceptable and comparable to that of the FluLaval® Tetra and Fluzone® High-Dose (HD). The study will also help to define the optimal dose in this population, establish potential competitive advantages, and support the design of future studies. Read Less
