Vaccines Treatment Options in Durham, NC

The primary goal of this prospective clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of PEP-CMV in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma and malignant glioma. Patients with histologically-proven medulloblastoma or malignant glioma who had received prior therapy for their initial diagnosis and subsequently had tumor recurrence/progression may be enrolled any time after recurrence/progression regardless of prior adjuvant therapy. PEP-CMV is a vaccine comprised of Component A, a synthetic long peptide (SLP) of 26 amino acid residues from human pp65. In May 2021, enrollment on the study was temporarily suspended due to delays in vialing the PEP-CMV study vaccine. Read Less

This is a randomized, multi-site, adaptive, open-label clinical trial comparing the immune response to different additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine in participants with autoimmune disease requiring IS medications. All study participants will have negative serologic or suboptimal responses (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤200 U/mL) or a low immune response (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result \>200 U/ml and ≤2500 U/mL) to their previous doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The study will focus on 5 autoimmune diseases in adults: * Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) * Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) * Multiple Sclerosis (MS) * Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), and * Pemphigus. This study will focus on 4 autoimmune diseases in pediatric participants: * Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) * Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) * Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis (POMS) * Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) Read Less

This is a Phase I, randomized, double blinded, clinical trial in up to 240 males and non-pregnant females, 18-45 years of age, inclusive, who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of either the 2018/2019 seasonal Fluzone or Flublok Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur (SP) given without adjuvant or with one of two adjuvant formulations, AF03 or Advax-CpG55.2. Eight Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit (VTEU) sites will be included in the study. Study duration is approximately 18 months, and subject participation duration is 12 months. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the safety and reactogenicity of 2018/2019 Fluzone and Flublok with and without AF03 or Advax-CpG55.2 adjuvant; 2) to assess the serum hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody responses against 2018/2019 QIV strains from baseline (Day 1) to approximately Day 29 after receipt of 2018/2019 Fluzone and Flublok with and without AF03 or Advax-CpG55.2 adjuvant; 3) to assess the serum neuraminidase inhibition antibody (NAI) responses by enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA) against NA antigens in the 2018/2019 QIV from baseline (Day 1) to approximately Day 29 after receipt of 2018/2019 Fluzone and Flublok with and without AF03 or Advax-CpG55.2 adjuvant; 4) to assess the influenza neutralizing (Neut) antibody titer responses against 2018/2019 QIV strains from baseline (Day 1) to approximately Day 29 after receipt of 2018/2019 Fluzone and Flublok with and without AF03 or Advax- CpG55.2 adjuvant.

In this Phase 4, open-label trial, participants of the ACTIV-3/TICO clinical trial at selected sites who received certain pre-specified blinded investigational agents or placebo as part of that trial, and who have since achieved sustained recovery, and who are still \[TICO assignment\] blinded and who are still within 28 to 90 days after initial TICO randomization, will be randomized in this 2x2 factorial design to one of four groups: (i) immediate versus 12 week deferral of first dose administration and also (ii) one dose only, versus two doses to be given 4 weeks apart of the Moderna mRNA-1273 or the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine (mRNA vaccines). Choice of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is determined based on availability at the site. The choice is individual, although participants vaccinated twice should receive the same type of vaccine for both injections. The primary objectives of this 2x2 factorial design are (i) to estimate the difference in neutralizing antibody (NAb) response to the mRNA vaccine from baseline to Week 48 among participants vaccinated early versus deferred, and (ii) to estimate the difference in NAb response to this vaccine among participants vaccinated once versus twice. The primary analyses will be carried out in participants randomized to placebo in TICO. Analyses will also be carried out for those who receive the investigational agent(s) studied in TICO. A key secondary objective is to ascertain the effect, if any, of SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies, and other interventions that have been studied in hospitalized COVID-19 subjects, on natural and vaccine-induced immunity. Participants will remain blinded to the interventions received in the ACTIV-3/TICO study, however allocation to the timing of vaccination and to one or two vaccinations in this (VATICO) study is not blinded.

A prospective, randomized open-label clinical trial will be conducted from July 2018 to October 2020. Approximately 300 preterm infants will be enrolled across three sites: Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Eligible infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 2-month US licensed childhood vaccines (PCV13, DTaP, HBV, IPV an Hib) or no vaccines. After their participation in the study, healthcare providers of the infants in the unvaccinated group will make decision abut receipt of their 2-month childhood vaccines. The study will collect data from the continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors from randomization to 48 hours after randomization for infants in the unvaccinated group, and from randomization to 48 hours after vaccination for infants in the vaccinated group. Infants in both groups will be monitored for up to 60 hours for the occurrence of apnea, bradycardia, and oxygen desaturation. For infants in the "vaccinated" group, the study will also collect adverse events of clinical interest and serious adverse events occurring between the end of the 48-hour monitoring period and 14 days after vaccination. This information will be collected through parental report and review of medical records. Read Less

This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine (V160) administered in a 2-dose or 3-dose regimen to healthy seronegative women 16 to 35 years of age. Participants received blinded V160 on Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6 (3-dose regimen), V160 on Day 1 and Month 6 and placebo at Month 2 (2-dose regimen), or placebo on Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6, and were followed to approximately Month 24. The primary hypothesis of the study was that administration of a 3-dose regimen of V160 will reduce the incidence of primary CMV infection compared to placebo. Read Less

This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. During the study, pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to receive RIV4 or IIV4. Vaccines will be administered by licensed providers. Prior influenza vaccine history will be verified by medical record review when possible. Injection-site (local) and systemic reaction data will be assessed on vaccination day and during the 8 days following vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries, depending on study participant preference. Maternal serum samples will be collected for antibody titers relevant to Influenza at time points that include: prior to vaccination and \~29 days post vaccination. When feasible, maternal blood at delivery and cord blood serum will be analyzed for the same antibody titers. Pregnant women will be followed through delivery with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained from medical record review for 90 days of life. Read Less

INVESTED will test the hypothesis that high dose trivalent influenza vaccine will reduce cardiopulmonary events to a greater extent than standard dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in high-risk cardiovascular patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or heart failure. The trial will enroll 9300 participants over one Vanguard (pilot) season and three additional influenza seasons. The primary endpoint will be a composite of all-cause mortality or cardiopulmonary hospitalization. Read Less

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.
