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. ...
NCT07111078
Background: Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses. Flu symptoms can range from mild to severe, and the illness can be fatal. Vaccines help the body learn to prevent or fight infections such as flu. Some vaccines are combined with adjuvants. Adjuvants are special salts or fats that help vaccines work better. Researchers are looking for ways to make flu vaccines more effective. Objective: To test a new flu vaccine with and without a new adjuvant. Eligibility: Healthy adults aged 18 to 50. They must have had at least 1 flu vaccine since 2020. Design: Participants will have 12 clinic visits over 15 months. The vaccine is given as an injection into the muscle of the upper arm. Participants will be vaccinated during 2 visits spaced 4 months apart. Half will receive just the vaccine; half will receive the vaccine plus the adjuvant. They will be monitored for at least 30 minutes after each shot. Participants will keep a diary for 7 days after each shot. They check their temperature every day and record any symptoms. Participants will have 10 follow-up clinic visits plus 4 phone calls. They will have 4 to 10 tablespoons of blood drawn at each clinic visit. Fluid samples will be collected from their nose and mouth. They will be checked for any health changes. Participants may opt to undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from the body through a needle inserted into a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle.
NCT04576377
The aims of this vaccine trial are: (1) to measure humoral and selected cellular immune responses to repeated influenza vaccination with Flublok, including these responses' associations with age, birth year, and prior vaccination history; (2) to identify the characteristics of study participants who are vaccinated but still become infected with influenza virus ("vaccine failures") and participants who have poor immune responses to vaccination; and (3) to predict how influenza vaccinations and infections shape immunity.
NCT07240922
This study will provide novel insight into the effects of repeat influenza vaccination with Flublok and FluMist on the strength and breadth of immune responses to influenza, the mechanisms underlying heterogeneity in vaccine response and vaccine failure, and biological factors that could explain variation in influenza vaccine effectiveness.
NCT04101838

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.

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.

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.
