Vaccines Treatment Options in Ohio

The aim of the study was to describe the safety and immunogenicity of a 0.5-mL dose (15 μg hemagglutinin \[HA\] per strain) of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine in children 6 to \<36 months of age. Primary objective: * To compare the rate of any fever (temperature ≥100.4 degrees Fahrenheit \[38.0 degrees Celsius) following a 0.5-mL dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine to that following a 0.25-mL dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine during the 7 days after either vaccination (Dose 1 and Dose 2 combined) in participants 6 to \< 36 months of age. Secondary objective: * To compare antibody responses induced by a 0.5-mL dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine to those induced by a 0.25-mL dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine as assessed by geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios and seroconversion rate differences after the final vaccination in participants 6 to \< 36 months of age. Other objectives: * To describe the safety of 2 different dose levels of the 2016-2017 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine in participants 6 to \< 36 months of age. * To describe the immunogenicity of 2 different dose levels of the 2016-2017 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine in participants 6 months to \< 36 months of age. * To submit available sera from approximately 30 participants to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research for further analysis by the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the FDA to support formulation recommendations for subsequent influenza vaccines.

This was a dose and formulation ranging study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of SP0173 in healthy adolescents, adults, and older adults in the United States (US). Primary Objective * To describe the safety profile of each SP0173 investigational formulation. Observational Objective: * To describe the immunogenicity of each SP0173 investigational formulation.

The purpose of this study is to complete the total safety database size for GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' (GSK's) human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine across the Porcine circovirus (PCV)-free development plan. This study used a purposely selected lot for PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine that is in the upper range of the usual release potencies. The PCV-free liquid HRV vaccine lots used were stored frozen in order to keep the titer stable until administration during the study. As the liquid formulation of GSK's HRV vaccine is not licensed in the US, the lyophilized formulation of the vaccine was used as a control in all phase III studies as part of the PCV-free development plan.

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

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and immune response of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) compared with 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vPS). Although the study started with only 1 population, amendments to the original protocol will now reflect three participant populations. Three age cohorts will be enrolled. The first cohort (age 60-64) will be blinded. Cohort 2 (age 50-59) and cohort 3 (age 18-49) are open label. Subjects in cohorts 1 and 2 will receive 2 vaccinations 3-4 years apart. Subjects in cohort 3 will receive 1 vaccination. All participants should be naïve of 23vPS. Comparisons of immune responses from the different cohorts will be done. Read Less

HIV vaccines may help the immune systems of HIV infected patients better control the virus. The goal of this study is to determine whether patients on anti-HIV medications can stop taking those medications if they receive an HIV vaccine. While taking anti-HIV medications, participants will receive either an HIV vaccine or a placebo. Participants will then stop taking their anti-HIV medications and the study will compare the viral loads of participants who received the vaccine with the viral loads of participants who received the placebo. Primary study hypotheses: 1)The Week 12 and Week 16 post-ART interruption geometric mean HIV-1 RNA levels will be lower among participants who had received MRK Ad5 vaccine prior to ART interruption than among participants who received placebo; 2) the time averaged area under the curve of the log10 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml versus day function in the 16 week post-ART interruption step will be lower among participants who received the MRK Ad5 vaccine prior to ART interruption than among participants who receive placebo.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) have an increased risk of developing anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, which can be a risk factor for anal cancer. HIV-infected women are also at risk of anal cancer. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved quadrivalent HPV vaccine, Gardasil, at preventing anal HPV infection in HIV-infected MSM and HIV-infected women.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a naturally occurring substance that is made by the body in response to infection or inflammation, and greatly improves cellular immune responses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GM-CSF as an adjuvant to improve the immune response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in HIV infected individuals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an HIV-1 nef/tat/vif, env pDNA vaccine delivered with electroporation (EP), followed by a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) HIV envC vaccine boost, in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a VRC DNA/rAd5 vaccine regimen in healthy, circumcised men and male-to-female (MTF) transgender persons who have sex with men. NOTES: As of April 2013, all vaccinations in this study have been stopped. As of June 2017, this study has been closed. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to describe the level of serum antibody and cellular immune responses conferred by FluMist and TIV against influenza virus strains. Read Less

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).
