Vaccines Treatment Options in Ohio

The main objective is to determine whether immune responses to Tdap (GlaxoSmithKline, Boostrix®) and HPV vaccine (Merck \& Co., Inc., Gardasil®) when administered concomitantly with MenACWY are comparable to responses elicited by these vaccines when given alone. Read Less

This is a multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a Fluzone revaccination in elderly adults aged ≥ 65 years. Primary Objective: To describe the safety profile for all subjects. Secondary Objective: To describe immunogenicity 28 days following revaccination with one of three Fluzone formulations. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to describe the immunogenicity of the prototype Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) compared with the 2009-2010 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) and the 2008-2009 TIV among children and adults. Primary Objective: To describe the immunogenicity of the prototype Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV) compared with the 2009-2010 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) and the 2008-2009 TIV among adults. Observational Objectives: * To describe the safety of the 2009-2010 TIV among subjects ≥6 months to \<5 years, 18-60 years, and ≥ 61 years of age, and to describe the safety of 2008-2009 TIV and prototype QIV Fluzone® vaccines among subjects 18-60 years and ≥ 61 years of age. * To describe the immunogenicity of the 2009-2010 TIV vaccine among subjects ≥6 months to \<5 years, 18-60 years, and ≥61 years of age, and to describe the immunogenicity of 2008-2009 TIV and prototype QIV vaccines among subjects 18-60 years and ≥61 years of age.

The aim of the study is to evaluate a prototype quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV), the licensed 2010-2011 trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) containing the primary B strain, and the investigational TIV containing the alternate B strain in adult subjects. Primary Objective: * To demonstrate non-inferiority of antibody responses to QIV compared with licensed 2010-2011 TIV (containing the primary B strain) and investigational TIV (containing the alternate B strain) as assessed by geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios for each of the four virus strains separately among subjects 65 years of age and older Observational Objective: * To describe the safety profiles of TIV among subjects 18 years of age and older and QIV in subjects 65 years and older, as assessed by solicited injection site and systemic adverse events (AEs) collected for 7 days post-vaccination, unsolicited adverse events collected from 21 days post-vaccination, and adverse events of special interest and serious adverse events (SAEs) collected from Visit 1 to Visit 2.

RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining these two treatments may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining vaccine therapy with radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been completely removed in surgery.

The primary objective of this phase 3b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Novartis MenACWY conjugate vaccine when administered with routine infant vaccinations to healthy infants Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immune response (body's defense against disease) to an experimental H1N1 influenza vaccine against the 2009 H1N1 virus. This study will help determine how and when the H1N1 flu shot should be given with the seasonal flu shot to make it most effective. The 650 participants will be divided into the following age groups: infants from 6 months-36 months old, children 36 months-9 years old, and adolescents 10-17 years old. Each age group will have 200 children. There are 4 treatment groups in each age level. Study procedures include: medical history, targeted physical exam based on history, maintaining a memory aid, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in the study for about 8 months. Read Less

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor tissue may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (13vPnC) compare to the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine (7vPnC) and to compare the immune response to concomitant vaccines administered with 13vPnC and 7vPnC. Read Less

Primary Objective: To describe the immune response to a single administration of 2 formulations of the investigational cell-based influenza vaccines in healthy adult subjects. Secondary Objective: To describe the safety following a single administration of 2 formulations of the investigational cell-based influenza vaccines in healthy adult subjects. Read Less

This randomized, parallel-group, open-label study will evaluate the effect of Actemra (tocilizumab) on vaccination in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to methotrexate and who have had an inadequate clinical response or were intolerant to treatment with one or more anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the body's immune response (body's defense against disease) to an experimental H1N1 influenza vaccine in people with asthma. The study will enroll 350, and possibly up to 400 healthy adults ages 12 and older with mild, moderate, or severe asthma. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible vaccine groups: group 1 will receive 15 mcg of H1N1 vaccine; group 2 will receive 30 mcg of H1N1 vaccine given as two 15 mcg injections. Both groups will receive vaccine injections on days 0 and 21. Study procedures include: medical history, physical exam, spirometry, maintaining a memory aid and, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 7 months. Read Less
