Vaccines Treatment Options in South Carolina

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.

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

The goal of the research proposed in the current application is to first define how much antibody aging renal transplant and dialysis recipients make after they are vaccinated with the pneumonia vaccine and how this compares to similar aged persons with good renal function and healthy young adults. The investigators will study differences in the kind of B cells and markers on the B cells that are known to be important in the response to the pneumonia vaccine in aging renal transplant and aging dialysis recipients compared to similarly aged and young healthy controls. Finally, the investigators will study how safe the pneumonia vaccine is in aging renal transplants. The answers to these questions will help in designing a better vaccine for older people with a renal transplant or on dialysis. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate end of shelf-life potency in terms of the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR vaccine, by comparing it to Merck \& Co., Inc.'s MMR vaccine, which is approved for use in the United States (US). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of GSK Biologicals' trivalent MMR (Priorix), comparing it to Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R II), which is approved for use in the US in healthy children 12 to 15 months of age. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess if there is any immune interference between the Porcine circovirus free (PCV-free) liquid Human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine and routine infant vaccinations currently in use in the US, namely Pediarix®, Hiberix® and Prevenar 13® as compared to the currently licensed lyophilized formulation of the HRV vaccine when co-administered with the same routine vaccinations in healthy infants 6-12 weeks of age Read Less

Multicenter, randomized, single-blinded comparison of two formulations of the rF1V vaccine at a single dosage of 80 µg and two 3-dose schedules in 400 healthy, adult volunteers in four parallel cohorts. Two rF1V vaccine cohorts (N=160 each) and two rF1V antigen-only cohorts (N=40 each) will be vaccinated at two different three-dose schedules (Days 0, 56 and 182 or Days 0, 56 and 121). Read Less

This phase 3 study is a randomized, double-blinded, comparator controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study of aQIV versus the US-licensed 2017-2018 adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV-1, Fluad), and versus an adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (aTIV-2), containing the alternate B strain.

This study is designed to assess the safety and ability of BioThrax and AV7909 anthrax vaccines to generate an immune response in adults ≥ 66 years of age in stable health in comparison to adults 18-50 years of age in stable health. Read Less

The investigators hypothesized that pneumococcal vaccination with either the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine PPV-23 (Pneumovax-23) alone or the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV-13 (Prevnar-13) followed by PPV-23 results in a similar antibody levels/functional antibody activity and induce similar pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS)-specific B cell response in HIV positive individuals \> 50 years of age, HIV positive individuals 21-40 years of age as compared to HIV negative \> 50 years of age. The investigators immunized the study groups HIV+ persons \>50, HIV+ persons 21-40 and controls (HIV negative) with PCV 13 followed by PPV23 and HIV\>50 with PPV alone and examined immune responses to polysaccharide (PPS) 23 (F),14, 3, 7 (F) and 19 (A) using polysaccharide specific ELISA and opsonophagocytic assays (OPA). Pre- and post-immunization peripheral blood samples were obtained. Extensive B cell phenotype analysis using fluorescent antibodies was used to characterize PPS-labeled B cells. Specific phenotypes were correlated with antibody levels and OPA and compared to populations immunized with PPV Read Less
