Vaccines Treatment Options in Michigan

To assess whether HIV-infected infants who receive a heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine have more local reactions at the site of injection and systemic reactions than placebo subjects. To assess whether this vaccine is more immunogenic than placebo following the third vaccination. Children with HIV infection are at increased risk for invasive pneumococcal infection, particularly bacteremia. A large proportion of pneumococcal disease is caused by a limited number of serotypes. The maximum number of pneumococcal serotypes that can be included in a new conjugate vaccine is felt to be limited by the amount of carrier protein. A heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine has been developed that consists of pneumococcal capsular saccharides from serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F bound to a diphtheria toxin mutant carrier protein.

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.

With the FDA's emergency use authorization declaration in December of 2020, the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine became the first of several vaccines to kick off the mass vaccination effort across the United States against CoronaVIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Subsequently, Moderna as well as Johnson and Johnson both had vaccines receive emergency use authorization. While the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines both utilize novel mRNA technology, Johnson and Johnson's vaccine uses a viral vector that has been used previously in both the approved European Ebola vaccine and a trial vaccine for HIV. However, none of these vaccine types have previously been approved in the United States. While preliminary data from safety and efficacy trials have shown positive results, actual-world data on its effectiveness is still lacking. Several small cohort studies and one large trial from Israel are currently the only insights into the actual rates of infection, hospitalization, and severe illness among vaccinated individuals. As COVID-19 variants, with the potential to reduce vaccine efficacy, continue to emerge worldwide, there is a need of more data regarding the real-world effectiveness of our current mass vaccination efforts. Vaccination efforts in the State of Michigan have been ongoing since December 2020. Given that approximately 33.7% of the state's population is either partially or fully vaccinated, it is unclear why the number of cases has risen so dramatically or if immunization efforts can help the situation. Given the current situation in the State of Michigan, this study will evaluate the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination on rates of hospital visits and severe illness when breakthrough Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection occurs in a region with high incidence of variant strain disease.

This Phase II trial evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of the Folate Receptor Alpha (FRα) peptide vaccine mixed with GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant, with or without a immune priming with cyclophosphamide, as a consolidation therapy after neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment of patients with Stage IIb-III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR (Priorix), comparing it to Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R II), which is approved for use in the US in healthy children 12 to 15 months of age. 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.

The purpose of this study is to assess if there is any immune interference between the Porcine circovirus free (PCV-free) liquid Human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine and routine infant vaccinations currently in use in the US, namely Pediarix®, Hiberix® and Prevenar 13® as compared to the currently licensed lyophilized formulation of the HRV vaccine when co-administered with the same routine vaccinations in healthy infants 6-12 weeks of age Read Less

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

The purpose of the present study is to assess and compare in healthy non-pregnant women 18 to 40 years of age the safety and immunogenicity of a liquid formulation of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Trivalent Vaccine (not requiring reconstitution prior to administration), and of the lyophilized formulation of GBS Trivalent Vaccine, administered in non-pregnant and pregnant women in the clinical development program to date.

The purpose of this study was to assess immunogenicity of a 3-dose versus 4-dose infant vaccination schedule including kinetics of immune response in the early phases of the series. Read Less

This study is designed to test the immunogenicity and safety of an investigational influenza vaccine, in children compared to two other influenza vaccines. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to characterize the immunogenicity \& safety of a booster dose of GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine 134612 given at 12-15 months of age or at 15-18 months of age (co-administered with Infanrix®) in healthy toddlers primed with GSK Biological's Hib-meningococcal vaccine 792014. This study is single-blinded for the primary phase and open-label for the booster phase. Read Less
