Systems Biology of Zoster Vaccine (ZOSTAVAX®) in Young and Elderly
Completed
Vaccination is the most effective way of preventing infectious diseases. Despite the success of vaccines in general, vaccines induce diminished antibody responses and lower protection in the elderly in particular. This could be explained by a defect in the early responses of an ageing immune system. A better understanding of the basic immunological mechanisms that mediate vaccine efficacy is incomplete. Such information is critical and could greatly decrease both the cost and the time to new vac... Read More

Immunization With a Pentavalent Vaccine Composed of KLH-conjugates of GD2L, GD3L, Globo H, Fucosyl GM1, and N-Propionylated Polysialic Acid
Completed
Even when small cell lung cancer responds well to treatment with chemotherapy, it has a tendency to grow back and to spread. The investigators are interested in testing new therapies aimed at decreasing this risk. This study tests a vaccine, which is a substance injected under the skin which can cause an immune response. The hope is that the body will make antibodies to the vaccine which will also react against the cancer. The vaccine is specific for small cell lung cancer. It combines several c... Read More

Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Live Attenuated Human Metapneumovirus Vaccine
Completed
People who are infected with human metapneumovirus (HMPV) may develop upper and lower respiratory illnesses. Children are particularly sensitive to HMPV infection. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of an HMPV vaccine in healthy adults, HMPV-seropositive children, and HMPV-seronegative infants and children.

Evaluating the Safety and Immune Response to a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine in Adults, RSV-Seropositive Children, and RSV-Seronegative Infants and Children
Completed
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of upper respiratory tract illnesses as well as more severe lower respiratory illnesses, including bronchiolitis and pneumonia. RSV affects almost all children within the first 2 years of life. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to the RSV MEDI ΔM2-2 vaccine among adults, RSV-seropositive children, and RSV-seronegative infants and children.

Phase II Tularemia Vaccine Comparison
Completed
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 experimental vaccines that could provide protection from the disease, tularemia. This research will compare the ability of the vaccines to cause the body to develop an immune (protective) response and obtain more information on side effects of the vaccines. About 220 male and non-pregnant female volunteers 18 to 45 years will participate. Volunteers will be assigned to 1 of 2 vaccine groups by chance. About half of the volunteers will be placed in the DV... Read More

Vaccine Therapy Compared With Interferon Alfa in Treating Patients With Stage III Melanoma
Terminated
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of melanoma vaccine with that of interferon alfa-2b in treating patients who have stage III melanoma that has spread to regional lymph nodes following surgery.
