Vaccines Treatment Options in Missouri

As a result of the safety and immunogenicity data generated from earlier dose-ranging studies, the present formulation has been selected for further development in the elderly. Primary Objective: To compare the immunogenicity in subjects receiving investigational Fluzone with those of subjects receiving standard Fluzone®. 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

This study is designed to evaluate in a controlled manner the effect of Prevnar® on the immune responses of Pentacel™ Primary Objective - Stage I: To compare the immune responses elicited by an infant series of Pentacel™ when given at different times from or concurrently with a Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar®). Primary Objective - Stage II: To compare the immune responses elicited by a 4th dose of Pentacel™ when given at different times from or concurrently with Prevnar®. Read Less

This Phase 2(a) clinical trial is designed as a dose-blinded, block-randomized, multi-center study to select a dosage and schedule of rF1V vaccine for further studies based on the immune response up to Day 210. Additional immunogenicity and safety/reactogenicity data will be collected through Day 540. Selection of dosage and schedule will be based on GMCs and seroconversion rates for anti-F1, anti-V and anti-rF1V antibody titers. Approximately 400 healthy adult volunteers will be enrolled (100 per group) in this study. Read Less

This Phase 2 study is a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter investigation of rBV A/B-40 vaccine or placebo in healthy adults, using two different three-dose dosing schedules. Read Less

In this Phase I clinical study, three recombinant, avirulent Salmonella Typhi (RASV) strains each expressing the Streptococcus pneumoniae surface protein, PspA, will be compared as live biological vaccine vectors to evaluate safe and tolerable, single, oral dose levels in adult subjects. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to evaluate different doses of the Influenza A/H1N1 pandemic vaccine in adults and the elderly. Primary Objectives: * To describe the immunogenicity of the candidate vaccines after a single injection. * To describe the safety of the candidate vaccines after a single injection. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the concomitant administration of Menactra® vaccine and DAPTACEL® vaccine. The main objectives are: Immunogenicity: To evaluate the antibody responses to both vaccines when Menactra vaccine is given concomitantly with DAPTACEL® compared to when either vaccine is given alone. Safety: To evaluate the rate of local and systemic reactions when DAPTACEL® and Menactra vaccines are administered concomitantly compared to when each vaccine is given alone. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MDX-010 (ipilimumab, BMS-734016) (anti-CTLA4) in combination with MDX-1379 (gp100, BMS-734019) in patients with previously treated, unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma. Survival time will be evaluated, as well as patient responses and time to disease progression. Eligible patients are those who in response to a single regimen containing interleukin-2 (IL-2), dacarbazine, and/or temozolomide, have 1) relapsed following an objective response (partial response/complete response \[PR/CR\]); 2) failed to demonstrate an objective response (PR/CR); or 3) could not tolerate such a regimen due to unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be randomized into one of three groups, and will receive one of the following treatments: MDX-010 alone, MDX-1379 alone, or MDX-010 in combination with MDX-1379. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of an influenza vaccine. Influenza is a highly infectious disease that occurs throughout the world in the winter months. Infection with an influenza virus is a major public health threat as it has the ability to spread rapidly and affect large numbers of people. Up to 1359 healthy adults ages 18 to less than 65 years old will participate in this study for up to 24 days. Volunteers will receive an injection of either influenza vaccine with thimerosal, vaccine without thimerosal, or placebo with thimerosal. Volunteers will be asked to document information about any health changes for 21 days following vaccination. Volunteers will return to the clinic on days 5 and 21 after vaccination to share this information with study staff. On day 21, volunteers will have a physical examination. Blood samples will be taken prior to vaccination and at Day 21 post-vaccination. Read Less

The goal of this study is to determine whether the immune responses induced by Fluviral, the investigational vaccine, are comparable to those induced by Fluzone, which is an influenza vaccine currently licensed in the U.S. The study focuses on persons 50 years old and over. In addition, the study will compare the rate of reactions to the two vaccines, and the general health of persons who receive them over the 42 days after immunization. Read Less
