Vaccines Treatment Options in North Carolina

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immune effects of a pneumococcal vaccine in adults. This vaccine can possibly provide protection against further pneumococcal disease. This study will happen in 3 stages: Stage 1 is seeking participants who are between 18 years to 49 years of age. The participants will receive 1 of 2 pneumococcal vaccine candidates (different formulations) or 20vPnC (Prevnar 20) as a single shot given into the upper arm muscle. Stage 2 will begin after participants have completed Stage 1, and a pneumococcal vaccine candidate has been decided. Stage 2 is seeking participants who are adults 50 years of age and older. The participants will receive the chosen pneumococcal vaccine candidate from Stage 1 or 20vPnC (Prevnar 20). The vaccines will be given as a single shot into the upper arm muscle. Stage 3 is seeking participants who are adults 50 years of age and older. The participants will receive the chosen pneumococcal vaccine candidate from Stage 1 or a licensed pneumococcal comparator vaccine. The vaccines will be given as a single shot into the upper arm muscle. Participants will take part in this study for about 6 months for Stage 1 and Stage 3, and 12 months for Stage 2. During this time participants will have from 2 to 4 clinic visits and 1 phone visit. 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 clinic visits. Read Less

The study is divided into 2 parts: Part 1 and Part 2. The purpose of Part 1 of this study is to generate sufficient safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity data to enable selection of an mRNA-1083 vaccine composition and dose level to evaluate in a subsequent Phase 3 clinical trial in adults. The purpose of Part 2 of this study is to generate safety and immunogenicity data for additional mRNA-1083 compositions and dose levels in young adults ≥18 years and \<50 years of age. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and effects of a combined influenza and COVID-19 vaccine. This combined vaccine is compared to separate vaccines for the protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Influenza and COVID-19 are diseases that can spread easily from one person to another and cause body aches, fever, cough, and other symptoms. Giving both influenza and COVID-19 vaccines together against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 could provide great benefits to both patients and caregivers in terms of simple and easy care. Around 8550 participants will be assigned into 1 of 8 vaccination groups (Group A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H) by chance. Cohort 1: Approximately 450 participants will be assigned by chance to one of the following: * Group A:Influenza and COVID-19 combination A vaccine, given at the same time in one arm and placebo (an injection consisting of just salt water and no medicines in it) in the opposite arm. * Group B: COVID-19 vaccine, given at the same time to one arm and licensed influenza vaccine in the opposite arm. Cohort 2: Approximately 4500 participants will be assigned by chance to one of the following: * Group C: Influenza and COVID-19 combination B vaccine, given at the same time in one arm and placebo in the opposite arm. * Group D: COVID-19 vaccine, given at the same time in one arm and licenced influenza vaccine in the opposite arm. Cohort 3: Approximately 3600 participants will be assigned by chance to one of the following: * Group E: Influenza and COVID-19 combination B vaccine. * Group F: COVID-19 vaccine. * Group G: Licenced influenza vaccine. * Group H: Investigational influenza vaccine. All participants in cohort 1 and cohort 2 will receive 2 injections and participants in cohort 3 will receive 1 injection as per their assigned study group at Visit 1. The participants will be followed for about 6 months. During this time, researchers will assess safety and the body's reaction to the vaccination over approximately 6 months. This will help understand if the study medicine is safe. Read Less

This is a Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different booster dose levels of the monovalent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) recombinant (r) spike (S) protein nanoparticle (SARS-CoV-2 rS) vaccines with Matrix-M™ adjuvant (NVX-CoV2373 \[prototype Wuhan vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant\] or NVX-CoV2601 \[Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant\]).

Primary objectives: * To assess the safety profile of each SP0202 formulation and Prevnar 13 in toddlers and infants (after each and any injection). * To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of one dose in toddlers (Groups 1-4) * To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of 3 doses in infants (Groups 5-8) * To assess the immune response (serotype specific IgG concentration) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after administration of a 4-dose schedule in infants (Groups 5-8) Secondary objectives: * To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of one dose in toddlers (Groups 1-4) * To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after the administration of 3 doses in a subset of infants (Groups 5-8) * To assess the immune response (serotype specific OPA titer) of the SP0202 formulations and Prevnar 13 1 month after administration of a 4-dose schedule in a subset of infants (Groups 5-8) * In toddlers: to describe the Ab responses against Pentacel antigens before and 1 month following injection of Pentacel * In infants: to describe the Ab responses against antigens of the routine pediatric vaccines (Pentacel, RotaTeq, ENGERIX-B, M-M-RII, and VARIVAX) when administered concomitantly with either SP0202 or Prevnar 13 (at pre-Dose 1 (as applicable) for RotaTeq, Diphteria, Tetanus and Pertussis antigens; at PD3 for ENGERIX-B, RotaTeq, and Pentacel; at PD4 for M-M-RII and VARIVAX\]) Read Less

A prospective, randomized open-label clinical trial that will be conducted during the 2017-2018 influenza season. During the 2017-2018 season, approximately 280 children will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Eligible children will be randomized to receive simultaneous or sequentially administered US licensed PCV13, US-licensed DTaP vaccine, and US-licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Children in the simultaneous group will receive PCV13, DTaP, and IIV vaccines at Visit 1, and then return for a health education visit without vaccination about 2 weeks later (Visit 2). Children in the sequential group will receive both PCV13 and DTaP without IIV at Visit 1, and then will receive IIV and health education about 2 weeks later (Visit 2). Parents will record the occurrence of fever, solicited adverse events, medical care utilization, and receipt of antipyretics over 8 days following Visit 1 and Visit 2. In addition, febrile seizures and serious adverse events will be recorded for the entire study period (from enrollment through 8 days following the Visit 2) as determined through parental report and chart review. Parental perceptions about their child's vaccine schedule will be assessed on the 8th day following Visit 2. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety (primary objective), the ability to trigger the production of antibodies (immunogenicity; a secondary objective) and presence of vaccine virus in the stool (fecal shedding; a secondary objective) of two novel oral polio vaccines (nOPV), novel oral poliomyelitis vaccine type 1 (nOPV1) and novel oral poliomyelitis vaccine type 3 (nOPV3), as compared to Sabin strain monovalent oral poliomyelitis vaccine (mOPV) controls, in healthy adults.

The goal of this cluster randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of messaging interventions to increase booster vaccine uptake in adults in the emergency department(ED). The main question\[s\] and goals of this study are: * does the intervention of vaccine messaging increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? * does the intervention of asking about vaccine acceptance increase booster vaccine uptake at 30 days post ED visit? * considering recent national changes to funding and availability of updated vaccines, the investigators will examine the effects of these changes on vaccine acceptance and uptake in ED populations. Specifically, they will stratify EDs and ED patients according to the ED availability of vaccines, and they will also examine whether costs and availability of vaccines are a deterrent to patient acceptance and uptake of vaccines Read Less

This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. During this study,pregnant participants will be randomly assigned to receive IIV and mRNA COVID-19 vaccine either simultaneously or sequentially (7-14 days apart). All participants will receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at Visit 1 (Day 1). Solicited local and systemic symptoms of reactogenicity will be assessed on day of visit for Visits 1 and 2 and daily during the 6 days following each visit using either electronic or paper symptoms diaries, depending on study participant preference. Serious adverse events (SAE) and adverse events of special interest (AESI) will be collected throughout the duration of the study. Pregnant people will be followed through delivery with comprehensive obstetric and infant outcomes obtained from medical record review for 90 days post-delivery. Maternal serum samples will be collected for antibody titers relevant to Influenza and COVID-19 prior to vaccination, at Day 29 (both groups), as well as Days 36-43 if in sequential group. When feasible, maternal blood at delivery and cord blood serum will be analyzed for serological analyses of placental influenza and COVID-19 antibody transfer (cord blood: maternal antibody ratio) will be determined.
