Vaccines Treatment Options in Cincinnati, OH

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the GSK3536852A vaccine, which was designed to protect against shigellosis caused by Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) and is using the new Generalized Modules for Membrane Antigens (GMMA) platform technology developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Vaccines Institute for Global Health (GVGH). The study vaccine could be the stepping stone for the development of a multivalent broadly protective Shigella vaccine for vaccination of impoverished communities where shigellosis is endemic. However, a standalone monovalent vaccine against S. sonnei could be used to protect travelers against diarrheal shigellosis, as the vast majority of travelers' shigellosis is caused by S. sonnei, and even to protect infants in endemic regions where shigellosis is primarily caused by S. sonnei. The GSK3536852A vaccine has been tested in two Phase I dose escalation studies in Europe to assess its safety and immunogenicity via three routes of administration: intramuscular (IM), intranasal (IN) and intradermal (ID). The results from the first study (dose escalation with IM vaccination) have shown that the vaccine has an acceptable safety profile and is well-tolerated up to a dose of 100 micrograms (µg). The results from the second study (dose escalation with ID, IN and IM vaccination) showed that GSK3536852A vaccine is well-tolerated also when administered by the ID and IN routes of vaccination. However, immunogenicity data have shown that GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the ID and IN routes is not as immunogenic as GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the IM route. Therefore, it has been decided to proceed with the clinical development program of this vaccine only using the IM vaccination route. In terms of dosage, the regimen tested in Phase I studies (three doses given one month apart) did not show any significant benefit from the third dose in terms of immunogenicity, therefore a two dose schedule was selected for next studies. A Phase IIa study, conducted in endemic regions of Africa (i.e., Kenya), has been completed and confirmed the acceptable safety profile and immunogenicity of GSK3536852A vaccine. Performing this vaccine-human challenge study may give the opportunity to establish evidence of clinical protection induced by the candidate S. sonnei vaccine (GSK3536852A vaccine) at an early development stage.

This is a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 120 males and non-pregnant females, 18 to 49 years old, inclusive, who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. This clinical trial will be conducted at 3 United States sites and is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of two priming doses of M-001 followed by a seasonal quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4). The duration of this trial for each subject will be approximately 7 months. The entire study duration will be approximately 24 months. The primary objectives are: 1) To assess the safety as measured by vaccine related adverse events, reactogenicity, and laboratory adverse events of two doses of M-001 vaccine, each dose administered approximately 21 days apart; and 2) To assess the T cell responses to M-001 component peptides following two doses of M-001.

The purpose of this study is to further develop a formulation and dose regimen of the norovirus GI.1/GII.4 bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine that is immunogenic and safe in an elderly population aged 60 years and above. Read Less

This is a pilot, prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial. During the study, pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to receive co-administration of a single intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL dose of US-licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and a single intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL dose of US-licensed Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine adsorbed (Tdap) or sequential administration of the vaccines (IIV followed by Tdap \~ 21 days later). Vaccines will be administered by licensed study personnel. Prior Tdap/Td/TT and 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 7 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 the Tdap and Influenza at time points that include: prior to vaccination(s), \~21 days post vaccination(s), and at delivery. Additionally, cord blood serum will be analyzed for the same antibody titers. Pregnant women will be followed with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained from medical record review.

This is a first-in-human (Phase 1) and Phase 2 study of a single vaccination with one of three dose levels of an investigational vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus (SA4Ag). The main goal of the study is to determine how safe and well tolerated the vaccine is as well as to describe the immune response elicited by the vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 to \<65 years. In addition, the study aims to assess the effect of the SA4Ag vaccine on the presence of the Staphylococcus aureus on the skin and within the nose, throat and perineum of healthy adults aged 18 to \<65 years.

This is a Phase 1 and Phase 2 study of a single vaccination with one of three dose levels of a 4-antigen investigational vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus (SA4Ag) and a single dose level of a 3-antigen Staphylococcus aureus vaccine (SA3Ag). The main goal of the study is to determine how safe and well tolerated the vaccine is as well as to describe the immune response elicited by the vaccine in healthy adults aged 65 to \<86 years. In addition, the study aims to assess the effect of the Staphylococcus aureus vaccine on the presence of the Staphylococcus aureus within the nose, throat and perineal skin of healthy adults aged 65 to \<86 years.

The main purpose of this clinical study is to see if a maintenance dose of GEN-003 reduces the number of days that subjects have a genital herpes recurrence. The second purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a maintenance dose of GEN-003. Read Less

A Phase 1 dose escalating study of ETEC candidate vaccine to determine safety and immunogenicity of a multi-dose regimen in healthy adult volunteers. The study will be conducted at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The primary objectives assess the safety and tolerability of dmLT vaccine when administered in three doses sublingually over a range of dosages in healthy adult subjects. The secondary objectives assess long-term safety follow-up from immunization through Month 7 post vaccination, following three SL doses of dmLT vaccine over a range of dosages and comparing with three doses of a comparable dosage of oral vaccine. The study subject population is 52 healthy adult male and female subjects, ages 18 to 45. Subject participation duration is approximately 8 months with study duration of approximately 1.5-2 years, including 6-7 months of follow-up. Read Less
