HPIV3 and HMPV are viruses that can cause breathing problems in children. The goal of this clinical trial is to look at the safety of 2 experimental HPIV3/HMPV vaccines in HPIV3-seropositive children ≥ 24 months to \< 60 months of age. Children will receive B/HPIV3/HMPV-PreF-A vaccine, B/HPIV3/HMPV-F-B365 vaccine, or placebo, and participants will not know which study product they have received. The main goals of the study are to find out whether these vaccines are well-tolerated and infectious in HPIV3-seropositive children. The general procedures include daily temperature measurements and daily contact with the participant for the first 28 days, giving a single dose of one of the 2 study vaccines or placebo delivered by nasal sprayer, about 9 in-person visits, a physical examination, 7 clinical assessments, 2 blood samples, 9 nasal swabs and monthly contacts with the participant between Days 29-180. Additional visits may occur if the child has a respiratory illness, fever, or ear infections. The illness visit will include a nasal swab and a clinical assessment. Read Less

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a viral infection. It has spread rapidly across the globe. It has overwhelmed health systems. Researchers are concerned that it may undo years of progress in the reduction of cancer-specific death. They want to test a vaccine that might protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Objective: To test the safety and efficacy of a vaccine using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-1273 that may protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have a solid tumor or blood cancer and who may benefit from a vaccine that might prepare their immune system for fighting and preventing infection from COVID-19. Patients with solid tumors must be receiving treatment with an immunotherapy agent. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, medicine review, and physical exam. They will have blood tests. They will have a pregnancy test if needed. Participants will get 2 doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine if they have not been vaccinated already. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Days 1 and 29. They will be followed for 12 months after the second dose. Participants will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 36,57, 209, and 394. Some visits will last about 4-6 hours. Patients will be able to get up to 3 doses of mRNA-1273 as a booster on trial if they have already completed a primary series of a vaccine. Participants who have already received a booster dose of vaccine will be able to enroll to receive additional boosters. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Day 1. Participants will be followed for 12 months after their last booster injection. Participants who receive booster doses will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 57, 180 and 360. Participants will give blood and saliva samples for research. Participation will last about 16 months. Read Less

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about a pneumococcal vaccine with a new ingredient (PF-07872411) intended to enhance the effects of the vaccine. This pneumococcal vaccine with the new ingredient may prevent the diseases caused by pneumococcal bacteria like meningitis, sepsis, ear infections and sinusitis. Meningitis is an infection in which the tissue around the brain and spine is swollen. Sepsis is a very serious infection in your blood caused by a germ (a bacteria). Sinusitis is when your sinuses (the air-filled spaces inside your nose and head), are infected. This study is seeking for healthy participants who: * are above 50 years of age and less than 64 years of age. * have not taken any vaccine for pneumococcal diseases before. * have not taken any vaccines with additional ingredients within 1 year before administration of the study vaccine. All participants will receive a single study vaccine shot in the upper arm muscle at the study clinic. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving the vaccine with a new ingredient in the vaccine to those without the new ingredient. This will be done by comparing 2 different dose levels of the new ingredient. It will also be compared against people who receive the vaccine without the new ingredient and at different dose levels. This will help the study team establish if the vaccine with a new ingredient is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for about 12 months. During this time participants will have up to 6 clinic visits. At these clinic visits, participants will be asked if any side effects were experienced. The participants will also have to give blood samples during these visits. Some participants will need to have blood taken for laboratory tests before they can be judged to be eligible to be included in the study. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to estimate safety of GVAX Pancreas Vaccine (GVAX) with immune modulating doses of cyclophosphamide (Cy) followed by SBRT and FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer patients after surgery. Read Less

The overall aim of the study is to compare the safety of simultaneous Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted (RZV) (SHINGRIX®) and Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine, Adjuvanted (FLUAD®) versus simultaneous Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted (RZV) (SHINGRIX®) and Fluzone® High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine in persons age ≥65 years. A prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial that will be conducted during the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 influenza seasons. Over the course of these two influenza seasons, approximately 220 older adults will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center, and 180 older adults at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either simultaneous RZV/FLUAD® or RZV/Fluzone® High-Dose vaccines. All subjects will be assessed for 7 days post-injection and safety and tolerability compared between the two groups. Serious adverse events and adverse events of clinical interest will be assessed 42 days post-vaccination and compared between the two groups. Health-related quality of life will be assessed pre-vaccination Day 1 through Day 8. Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events of Clinical Interest were also assessed throughout the study period.
