Vaccines Treatment Options in Virginia

This study will further evaluate the ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine in a population of middle-aged to elderly individuals at risk of exposure to Clostridium difficile because of impending hospitalization or residence in a care facility. Primary Objectives: * To describe the safety profile of subjects in each of the study groups. * To describe the immune responses elicited by toxoid A and toxoid B of subjects in each of the study groups. Observational Objective: * To describe the occurrence of first-time Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) episodes. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate relative effectiveness of high dose influenza vaccine in preventing influenza mortality, hospitalization, and functional decline in a nursing home population in the U.S., compared to the standard dose trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine.

Human Papilloma virus (HPV) are viruses that cause a common infection of the skin and genitals in men and women. Several types of HPV infection are transmitted by sexual activity and, in women, can infect the cervix (part of the uterus or womb). This infection often goes away by itself, but if it does not go away (this is called persistent infection), it can lead in women over a long period of time to cancer of the cervix. If a woman is not infected by HPV, it is very unlikely that she will get cervical cancer. This study will evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals HPV 16/18 VLP/AS04 vaccine to prevent infection associated cervical pre-cancer and vaccine with HPV 16 or 18 and the vaccine safety, over 48 months, in young adolescents and women of 15/25 years of age at study start. Approximately 18.000 study subjects will either receive the HPV vaccine or a control vaccine (hepatitis A vaccine) administered intramuscularly according to a 0-1-6 month schedule. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007. Read Less

This is an open-label, phase II study of a vaccine comprising melanoma peptides and a tetanus helper peptide, administered in GM-CSF-in-adjuvant. Patients will be randomized to receive one of two different vaccine regimens. Patients will be stratified by stage of disease (IIB versus III versus IV). Read Less

The purpose of this pilot evaluation is to help determine the feasibility and power needed to prospectively evaluate relative effectiveness of high-dose influenza vaccine in preventing influenza mortality and hospitalization in a nursing home population in the U.S., compared to the standard-dose influenza vaccine.

The goal of this study is to establish that Flublok Quadrivalent is non-inferior to fully licensed (traditional approval status) quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) in protecting against laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza disease in the ≥50 year age population. Read Less

Open label, single arm, multicenter study of the shedding and safety of a single dose of trivalent, influenza virus vaccine live, intranasal in children 6 to \< 60 months of age, with 28-day shedding follow-up and 180-day safety follow-up. Read Less

This was a Phase II, randomized, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the immune response to vaccines after administration of 1000 mg of rituximab in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were receiving background methotrexate (MTX). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the immunogenicity and safety profile of CSL Limited's Influenza Virus Vaccine compared to a US licensed comparator Influenza Virus Vaccine in a pediatric population aged greater than or equal to 6 months to less than 18 years. Read Less

This is a study to assess the immune (antibody) response and safety of a bioCSL split virion, inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine, in comparison with a US licensed 2014/2015 trivalent influenza vaccine (bioCSL TIV-1), and a trivalent influenza vaccine containing the alternate B strain (bioCSL TIV-2), in healthy adult volunteers aged 18 years and above.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine given to women ages 18-45 to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV), which they may catch from their children who attend daycare centers. Cytomegalovirus does not usually cause serious illness in adults and children. However, CMV can be a cause of deafness and mental retardation in a child born from a mother who has the infection during pregnancy. Women in the study will be given either cytomegalovirus or Hepatitis A vaccine. A blood sample will be taken before the vaccination is given. After vaccination, urine, saliva, and blood will be collected every 1-6 months for up to 3 years. Information regarding any reaction to the vaccination will be collected. All family members will be asked to provide urine and saliva to test for CMV every few months for up to 3 years. All children born to women who have been vaccinated will be tested for CMV infection. 180 women who are not infected with CMV will be vaccinated. 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.
