NCT01386424
Background: * The Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID) Clinical Studies Unit (CSU) enrolls healthy volunteers into clinical studies to study infectious diseases. * Viruses can be highly infectious and contagious. They cause considerable illness in the United States each year and a good example of this is influenza (the flu). The LID CSU performs clinical studies to learn about these viral infections and assist in the development of vaccines and treatments for the infections. These clinical studies include influenza "challenge studies" as well as natural history studies and phase I trials involving vaccines for viruses carried by mosquitos such as Zika or Dengue virus. * In influenza challenge studies studies, doctors expose a person to a flu virus. Then they study the flu through the body's natural healing process. This information will help to find better ways to prevent the flu and may also improve treatments for the flu. * Natural history studies and phase I trials of new vaccines are performed so the researchers can learn how some viral infections occur and if new vaccines are safe and potentially effective in preventing the infections. In some of these studies, participants experience insect bites with special clean (non-infected) insects (such as mosquitos) to better understand the role of insects in these infections. Objectives: \- To screen healthy volunteers for future CSU studies. Eligibility: \- Healthy people between the ages of 18 and 65 Design: * The 3- to 5-hour screening exam includes the following: * Medical history and physical exam * Standard blood tests including pregnancy, Hepatitis B and C, and HIV tests * Standard urine drug testing * Electrocardiogram (ECG) to test heart rhythm and function * Chest x-ray * Eligible volunteers are enrolled in the study for up to 1 year, until they take part in a CSU study or are found to be ineligible to participate. * Volunteers may withdraw from the study pool at any time.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study conducted at a single center with approximately 78 healthy adults aged 18-59 years. Part 1 Single Ascending Dose (SAD) will enroll 48 participants into six cohorts (S1-S6) to receive single oral doses of VNT-101 (100-1500 mg) or placebo under fasting or fed (S5 only) conditions. Part 2 Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) will enroll 30 participants into three cohorts (M1-M3) to receive multiple oral doses of VNT-101 (250-750 mg BID Days 1-5, QD Day 6) or placebo under fasting conditions. Dose escalation in both parts will proceed after Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) review. The primary objective for Part 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending oral (SAD) doses of VNT-101 in healthy adult participants under either fasting or fed conditions. The primary objective for part 2 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral (MAD) doses of VNT-101 in healthy adult participants.

NCT00186927
Croup is an illness of young children that is caused by a virus. With this illness, the child has fever, cough, and hoarseness. Although the illness usually gets better in 2 to 4 days, some children may be admitted to the hospital and a few infants may require an intervention to help their breathing. This illness is most often caused by a virus called parainfluenza virus type 1, but it can be caused by other viruses. The experimental vaccine that is being investigated in this study is intended to try to prevent croup caused by parainfluenza virus type 1. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent this virus, or medications available to treat the illness once infection has occurred. This research study is testing a new experimental live-virus vaccine that is given by placing liquid drops in the nose. The Sendai virus is very similar to the virus that causes croup, but it has never been found to cause illness in people. Previous studies in animals have shown that the vaccine provided protection against the croup virus, and did not cause illness. Many people have been exposed to the Sendai virus, but no one has been known to develop illness. Several healthy adults have been given the Sendai virus vaccine being studied, and they did not experience any serious side effects or illness.

NCT05227001
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study vaccine for the potential prevention of influenza. The study vaccine is called Self-Amplifying Ribonucleic Acid vaccine (saRNA vaccine). This study is seeking participants who: * Are between the age of 18 to 49 years old. * Are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. * Are healthy as determined by medical history, physical examinations, and the study doctor. * For male participants, can father children and willing to use an acceptable method of contraception. Female participants who are not of childbearing potential; or male participant not able to father children. * Are capable of giving signed informed consent. Participants will receive either the saRNA vaccine, a licensed Influenza Vaccine (QIV) or a placebo. Participants will not know which vaccine they receive in advance. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the study medicine. Participants will receive the study vaccines as a single shot in the arm. We will compare participant experiences to help us determine if the saRNA vaccine is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for 6 months. During this time, they will receive the study vaccine and participate in follow-up visits.
NCT07215858
Background: Influenza (flu) infections are a serious global health threat. Each year, between 3 and 5 million people get the flu, and up to 500,000 die from it. Current vaccines protect against seasonal flus, but broader vaccines are needed to protect against potential flu pandemics. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 55 years. Design: The study will last 5 to 8 months and has 2 phases, A and B. The study vaccine will be given either as a shot in the arm or as a nasal spray. Participants will receive 1 of 3 combinations: (1) study vaccine in the nose and placebo in the arm; (2) placebo in the nose and study vaccine in the arm; or (3) placebo in the nose and placebo in the arm. A placebo is just like the real vaccine but contains no active ingredients. Phase A: Participants will have 5 clinic visits over 56 days. They will receive a shot and a nasal spray at 2 of the visits, 28 days apart. At each visit, they will have a physical exam, with tests of their blood, urine, and nasal secretions. They will check their temperature at home and record any symptoms for 7 days after each vaccine. Phase B: Participants will stay in the hospital for at least 9 days. They will be infected with a flu virus. They will provide blood, urine, and nasal fluid samples. They will have tests of their heart function. They will remain in the hospital until they test negative for the flu 2 days in a row. They will have 2 follow-up visits, 4 and 8 weeks after leaving the hospital.
NCT05945485
This is a Phase 1, single-site, comparator-controlled, dosage-escalating study of an intramuscularly administered mRNA-LNP vaccine encoding for DCVC H1 HA in up to 50 adult volunteers aged 18 to 49 years, inclusive. This study is designed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine administered 28 days apart. Eligible participants will be sequentially enrolled into dosage escalation groups (10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg). A separate group of 10 participants will receive one dose of the licensed quadrivalent influenza vaccine (IIV4). Enrollment of participants into the IIV4 group is limited to when the vaccine is available for a given year. Concurrent enrollment of the IIV4 group and any pre-specified study product group or groups may present logistical challenges due to the availability of the IIV4 vaccine and may preclude enrollment of all study participants prior to the subsequent off-season. Participants receiving IIV4 will be followed for safety but only their immune responses will be compared to those of participants receiving DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine. Dosing of DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine will commence at the lowest dose (10 mcg) and only escalate to the next highest dose if safety concerns are not identified. For each DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine dosing group, the first two participants enrolled will be considered the sentinel subgroup. After the two participants in the Low Dose sentinel subgroup are enrolled and given their first vaccination, enrollment and subsequent vaccinations in that dosing group will then be stopped until Day 3. This review will be conducted by a Safety Review Committee (SRC). If no halting criteria are met, the SRC will allow administration of the second dose for the sentinel subgroup and continued enrollment of the remaining 8 Low Dose Group participants (expanded subgroup) to complete enrollment of 10 participants. In order for a timely receipt of a second dose of study product on Day 29, SRC review and approval must occur prior to Study Day 28 for the first sentinel participant in the Low Dose Group. After the Low Dose Group enrollment is completed and both doses have been administered, enrollment will be stopped pending SRC review. After all participants in the Low Dose Group have completed the Day 36 visit, the SRC will review the clinical laboratory, reactogenicity, and adverse event information through the Day 36 visit for all Low Dose Group participants that received two doses. Approval by the SRC will allow dose escalation and initiation of enrollment of the Medium Dose Group sentinel subgroup. The Medium and High Dose sentinel and expanded groups will be enrolled as described above for the Low Dose sentinel and expanded groups, respectively, with the High Dose expanded subgroup enrolling up to 18 individuals. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of two doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine administered intramuscularly in healthy adults (18-49 yrs) at dosage levels of 10 mcg, 25 mcg, and 50 mcg.

NCT05446740
The purpose of this first-time-in-human (FTiH) study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) messenger RNA (mRNA)-based monovalent vaccine (GSK4382276A) candidate against influenza in healthy younger adults (YA) and older adults (OA).
NCT06599658
The goal of this pragmatic embedded open-label, 2 x 2 factorial phase II randomized controlled trial is to evaluate strategies to improve COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in people living with immunocompromising conditions (PLIC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is co-administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) with the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster dose non-inferior in inducing a 1-month peak protective humoral response against COVID-19, compared to a strategy of sequential administration of COVID-19 booster dose followed by seasonal IIV given one month later? 2. Is the administration of the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster doses at 3-month intervals superior at maintaining a longer term protective humoral immune response, compared to booster doses administered at 6-month intervals? Researchers will compare (1) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (2) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (3) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval, and (4) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval to see if median neutralization capacity of patient sera is non-inferior in the co- vs. sequential administration arms at 1-month after the initial COVID-19 booster and superior in the 3-month interval arms vs. the 6-month interval arms at 12 months after the initial COVID-19 booster. These outcomes will also be compared at 2-months for question 1 and 6-months for question 2. People living with immunocompromising conditions who take part in the trial will have blood samples drawn to verify immune response, be monitored for changes in clinical events and therapies, and complete questionnaires to verify adverse effects, quality of life and economic impact.
NCT05040659
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to better track smell recovery in people who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COVID-19). Many people who have been infected by this virus develop changes in their sense of smell (olfaction). We are interested in measuring smell function objectively via smell cards that test odor intensity, identification, and discrimination. Objective and precise olfactory testing that can be performed in the convenience of one's home will help identify people with smell loss after infection by SARS-CoV-2. We will use results from this test to better understand the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery of olfactory function and to learn whether the AROMHA longitudinal smell test is a reliable olfactory function tracking tool to quantify smell loss in the context of COVID infection. These results may inform the design of therapeutic clinical trials to accelerate the recovery of smell function.

Part B will include a subset of Part A participants who have household contacts (HHCs) recruited to the study. Part B will evaluate the incidence of onward influenza transmission from pediatric index participants (IPs) under 5 years of age and those aged 5 to under 12 years, treated with baloxavir marboxil, to their HHCs.
NCT06800885
Real-time monitoring of vaccination rates for Germany is unavailable, and up-to-date data publication is delayed, which makes it challenging to develop effective public health strategies to increase vaccination coverage. This study aims to address the gap by assessing current influenza vaccination rates, particularly among those aged 60 and older, to inform public health interventions and encourage healthcare providers to recommend influenza vaccination more proactively. The primary objective of this study is to determine the influenza vaccination rates in the German population during the current respiratory season. The study will focus on: 1. Assessing the vaccination rates among the two main age groups 18 years of age through and including 59 years of age and 60 years of age (inclusive) and older 2. Assessing the vaccination rate among individuals with risk-based vaccination recommendation according to Standing Committee on Vaccination (Ständige Impfkommission) (STIKO) The study will target a disproportionate sample of the German population regarding age: 30% aged 18 years of age through and including 59 year of age and 70% aged 60 years of age (inclusive) and older. Within these age groups, the study targets a representative distribution regarding gender and region. This study is conducted as an online survey that will either be self-completed by the respondents (CAWI) or completed via an interviewer for a subgroup of respondents aged 70+ (CATI). The survey is estimated to last 10 minutes and will comprise of closed-ended questions only (i.e., respondents will not have the possibility to add any free-text). The survey will be conducted in German. The panelists will be divided into strata based on demographic variables like gender and region. Within each stratum, participants will be randomly selected to participate in the survey.
