Vaccines Treatment Options in Pennsylvania

Primary objective: To evaluate the clinical activity of the vaccine regimen, as indicated by progression-free survival versus the clinical activity of the reference treatment. Secondary objectives: Safety: To describe the safety profile in both treatment groups. Efficacy: To determine the objective clinical responses of patients in both treatment groups: complete response and partial response. Read Less

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety of two injections of Menactra® Vaccine in subjects at 9 months and at 12 months of age when the second dose is given concomitantly with other pediatric vaccines routinely administered in the US. Safety Objective: To describe the safety profile of two doses of Menactra® Vaccine. Read Less

To describe any degree of preference for the route of administration of Fluzone influenza vaccine, ID versus IM, in healthy adult subjects 18-49 years of age. To collect safety data, injection site reactions, and systemic reactions, through Day 7 post-vaccination; SAEs through day 28 post-vaccination Read Less

Primary Objective: To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule (described in the package insert for vaccine-naïve young children) to the investigational and control groups. Observational Objective: To describe the percentage of protective Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) antibody titers (following a 2-dose Fluzone® immunization series) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens among the investigational and control groups.

The present formulations are being developed for further study in the elderly population in order to generate additional supporting data. Primary Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of post-vaccination immunogenicity of subjects who received either 1 of the 2 investigational formulations of a trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) compared to that of the standard Fluzone® in elderly subjects. Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity To describe the immunogenicity in subjects receiving investigational Fluzone and standard Fluzone®. Safety: To evaluate and describe the safety profile of investigational Fluzone in terms of solicited- and unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events post-vaccination. Read Less

Compared to young adults, the elderly mount a lower antibody response to vaccination. Thus, improvement of the immune response to influenza vaccination in this age group, which is at higher risk for influenza-related morbidity and mortality, represents an important unmet need. Primary Objectives: Immunogenicity: * To demonstrate lot consistency of the Fluzone High Dose (Fluzone HD) manufacturing process through evaluation of the immune responses elicited by three different lots. * To demonstrate the superiority of Fluzone HD vaccine compared to standard-dose Fluzone® vaccine. Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity: * To describe the seroprotection of Fluzone HD compared to that of standard dose Fluzone® vaccine. Safety: * To describe the safety profile of Fluzone HD, in terms of solicited -, unsolicited adverse and serious adverse events post-vaccination. * To describe clinical information on some additional defined criteria during the six months following vaccination.

The study is to compare the 2 Groups with respect to antibody responses to inactivated influenza vaccine. Observational Objectives: * To describe the percentage of participants with protective Hemagglutinin (HAI) antibody titers to each of the 3 vaccine antigens in both study groups following each vaccination. * To describe the HAI geometric mean titer (GMTs) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens in both study groups following each vaccination. * To describe the safety of the 2005-2006 pediatric formulation of Fluzone® vaccine in both study groups.

This study is designed to test lot consistency of three different manufacturing lots and to generate safety and immunogenicity data of the investigational vaccine administered via the ID route. Primary Objective: * To demonstrate lot consistency of the Fluzone ID manufacturing process. * To provide information concerning the immune response of Fluzone ID. Secondary Objectives: Safety * To describe the safety profile of subjects who receive of Fluzone ID. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to generate additional data on the immunogenicity and safety of revaccination with Fluzone Intradermal (ID) or Fluzone Intramuscular (IM) vaccine. Primary Objective: * To evaluate and describe the safety profile of revaccination with Fluzone ID for all participants. Secondary Objective: * To describe immunogenicity following revaccination with Fluzone ID or Fluzone IM. Read Less

This is a modified single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, comparative, multicenter study to test Menactra vaccine in toddlers. Primary Objectives: * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) vaccine when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccine (PCV) when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. Observational Objectives: Safety - To describe the safety profile throughout the course of the study from Day 0 up to 6 months after the last study vaccination\[s\]) in subjects in the study groups. Immunogenicity: - To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, 30 days after the first and second Menactra vaccine administration in a subset of subjects in the first study group.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate different doses of the Influenza A/H1N1 pandemic vaccine in toddlers and children. Primary Objectives: * To describe the immunogenicity of the candidate vaccines after each injection. * To describe the safety of the candidate vaccines after each injection. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the administration, safety and immunologic effectiveness of an experimental vaccine for colorectal cancer patients. Read Less
