Rift Valley Fever
This study is to collect safety and immunogenicity data for an Rift Valley Fever (RVF) vaccine
COVID-19
This phase 1 randomized, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial evaluates the safety and immunogenicity of OCU500, a ChAd36 Vector Encoding SARS-CoV-2 Spike Vaccine, in healthy adults aged 18-64 who previously completed a primary COVID-19 vaccination series and at least one booster. The study evaluates two dose levels (1×10\^10 viral particles (VP) and 5×10\^10 VP) and two routes of administration (intranasal and inhaled). The trial includes 80 participants across four study arms (20 per arm). The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a single dose of OCU500 administered in previously vaccinated healthy adults.
HCC
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-site Phase II study of a personalized neoantigen DNA vaccine (GNOS-PV02) and plasmid encoded IL-12 (INO-9012) in subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC based on pathology report, who were eligible to undergo definitive resection, have demonstrated laboratory, radiographic and/or pathologic high-risk criteria for recurrence (described under eligibility), have no evidence of disease (NED) as per MRI approximately 28 days post resection, and are able to provide a tissue sample for personalized neoantigen DNA vaccine development.
Clostridoides Difficile Associated Disease
The purpose of the study is to learn about how effective, safe, and tolerable the Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) vaccine is in decreasing the number of C. difficile infections (pCDI) in adults 65 years of age or older. The participants will receive either the C. difficile vaccine or placebo (saline). A placebo does not contain any active ingredients. The vaccines will be given as a shot into the upper arm muscle. This study looks at the number of diarrhea (loose stools) events related to a C. difficile infection, so the length of the study can change. If these events happen quickly, the study may finish sooner; if they happen slowly, it could take longer. Sometimes, the study might stop early if the vaccine clearly does not work. Participants will stay in the study until enough events have occurred to answer the main question. On average, each person is expected to take part for up to about three and a half years. During this time, participants will have 3 planned clinic visits and 3 planned phone visits. After these visits, more scheduled clinic visits will happen every year until the end of study. Besides the scheduled study visits, if at any time during the study a participant has 3 or more loose stools in 24 hours, they will be asked to save the next one (the fourth or later) and contact the study site. The study site will check to see if it could be a C. difficile infection. This check may happen at the clinic or through a phone or video call.
Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8 · Invasive Breast Carcinoma · Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Carcinoma
This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without personalized synthetic long peptide vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without neoantigen vaccine will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.
Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC)
The primary objective of the trial is the safety and tolerability of administering a vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase, in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic FLC and with non-FLC solid tumors and to assess the T-cell response.
Human Papillomavirus-Related Carcinoma
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of RG1-virus-like particle (VLP) in preventing human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers in women. RG1-VLP is a vaccine that aims to protect against rare HPV types not targeted by currently approved HPV vaccines. HPV is a common sexually-transmitted infection that can cause certain genital and oral cancers. RG1-VLP contains a protein of HPV type 16 (HPV16) with a slightly different structure than the licensed Gardasil-9 vaccine. Gardasil-9 is approved by the Federal Drug Administration to help protect against diseases caused by some types of HPV. Gardasil-9 also contains 9 different HPV proteins. Both vaccines contain alum to stimulate the immune system. The usual approach for the prevention of HPV-related cancers for patients who are at increased risk is to consider the currently approved HPV vaccine like Gardasil-9, as well as to be followed closely by their doctor to watch for the development of cancer via routine pap smears. This trial may allow researchers to find out whether the RG1-VLP vaccine can safely trigger an immune response against HPV in healthy women and if it is better or worse than the usual approach for the prevention of HPV-related cancers.
Endometrial Cancer · Cancer of Endometrium · Carcinoma of Endometrium
Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) of the uterus is becoming more common in the US. Sometimes EC often has increased levels of a protein called HER2. Cancers with HER2 tend to be more aggressive and have poorer outcomes. Objective: To test 2 study drugs-a vaccine that targets HER2 (AdHER2DC) plus a drug that supercharges immune cells that kill tumor cells (N-803)-combined with 2 FDA-approved cancer treatment drugs in people with EC. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with HER2-positive EC that returned or got worse after treatment. Design: AdHER2DC vaccine is made from each participant s own blood. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood is removed from the body through a tube attached to a needle. The blood passes through a machine that separates out the target cells. The remaining blood is returned to the body through a second needle. A special catheter may be needed. The first treatment cycle is 28 days; each cycle after that will be 21 days. All participants will get the 2 approved drugs and the vaccine. One drug is a tablet taken by mouth once a day, every day. The other drug is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. The vaccine is injected under the skin. Participants will receive the vaccine on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, and 3. Additional doses up to 3 doses will be give if possible. Some participants will receive N-803. This drug is injected under the skin of the abdomen on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment may last up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will continue up to 2 more years.
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Background: Each year, more than 32,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has returned or progressed after treatment and spread to other organs. This is called metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Most people with mCRC survive only about 2 years. Objective: To test the ability of a combination of up to 4 experimental anti-cancer drugs treat mCRC. The names of these drugs are retifanlimab, TriAdeno vaccine, N-803, and SX-682. They are described below. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years or older with mCRC. Participants must have Design: Participants will be screened. This includes having a physical exam, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests. If signed on to the study, participants will have 2 tumor biopsies. One when starting the study and once about 8 weeks after bring on the study. Participants will receive $500 for each biopsy. Participants will be treated with either 3 or 4 drugs and will receive a detailed calendar explaining when each drug is given. Retifanlimab is given every 4 weeks through an IV (an IV is tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm). N-803 is injected under the skin on the abdomen every 4 weeks. TriAdeno vaccine is injected under the skin of the upper arm or thigh once a month for 3 doses and then once every 3 months. Some participants will also receive a 4th drug. SX-682 is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take this drug 2 times a day at home for about 3 weeks of each month. Study treatment will continue up to 2 years. Follow-up phone calls/emails may continue for 3 more years.
Pneumococcal Infection
Researchers are looking for new vaccines to prevent pneumococcal disease, which is any infection in the lungs or other parts of the body that is caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. V118C is a new vaccine designed to help prevent disease from Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. This study will look at V118C in toddlers and infants. The goal of the study is to learn how safe V118C is for children and how well they tolerate it.
Healthy
BEATRIX (group B strEptococcus mATeRnal and Infant VaX study) The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and how the group B streptococcus (GBS) vaccine works in pregnant women and their babies. This study is seeking healthy pregnant participants: * aged 49 or younger who can join. * between 24 and 36 weeks of gestation ("Gestational age" is a medical term used to describe how far along your pregnancy is) * had a fetal ultrasound examination performed with no major fetal abnormalities observed * documented negative for HIV, syphilis and Hepatitis B All participants in this study will receive only 1 shot in an arm. This could either be a group B streptococcus 6-valent polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (GBS6) or placebo. Placebo is an inactive substance used in the study for comparison purposes; in this study, the placebo injection will be saline (saltwater). The pregnant participants may take part in this study for a maximum of 14 months (6 months after delivery) , and their babies for about 12 months after they are born. The pregnant participants will need to visit the research site at least 3 to 4 times with some visits permitted to occur over the telephone. A subset of infants will be asked to take part in the study for up to 19 months. The subset will receive diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine and/or pneumococcal vaccine following each country's standard immunization plan and have blood drawn 1 month after completion of the primary and/or toddler (booster) doses.
High Risk Cancer · Pancreatic Cancer
This Phase 1 study will evaluate safety and the immune response to pooled mutant-KRAS peptide vaccine with poly-ICLC adjuvant for patients who have been identified to be at risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Malaria
Background: Malaria is a serious infection caused by a parasite. People get malaria when an infected mosquito bites them. Malaria can cause major health and social problems in places were malaria is common, such as Africa but can also affect travelers who have never been exposed to malaria. Researchers at the NIH want to find a safe and effective malaria vaccine, antimalarial drugs, or prevention regimen. To do this, healthy volunteers are recruited under a general screening study in order to see if are qualified to join a future malaria study. Objective: To screen healthy volunteers to see if they are eligible to join investigational malaria studies. The studies will be trials of investigational antimalarial drugs, malaria vaccines, or prevention regimens. They may also involve controlled human malaria infection trials. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18 50 Design: Participants will first be prescreened by phone. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Participants may go more than 1 year without joining a clinical trial. If this happens, they may be re-contacted to see if they still want to be part of this screening protocol. Those who still want to participate and have had relevant medical changes will be rescreened.
Human Papilloma Virus · Anal Dysplasia · HIV
This is a phase 2, open-label study to assess the immunogenicity of the 9-valent human papillomavirus (HPV) recombinant vaccine (Gardasil9) in people born male with current or past exposure to androgen blockers or estrogen (BM-EABE). Investigators will enroll BM-EABE with HIV and HIV negative controls (BM-EABE or men who have sex with a person with a penis (MSPP)) and administer Gardasil9 at timepoints Day 0, Month 2, and Month 6. The immune response to the vaccine will be analyzed at Month 7 (1 month following the final vaccine dose).
Colorectal Cancer · Pancreatic Cancer
Phase 1b study evaluating the efficacy and immune response to a synthetic long peptide mutant KRAS vaccine (SPL mKRASvax) combined with Balstilimab and Botensilimab for unresectable or metastatic mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-p) colorectal cancer (mCRC) or unresectable or metastatic MMR-p pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with measurable disease following first-line chemotherapy.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This is a single institution, Phase 1 study for patients with Stage III/IV unresectable Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutated NSCLC to evaluate safety of the pooled mutant-KRAS peptide vaccine (KRAS peptide vaccine) with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly-ICLC) adjuvant in combination with chemoimmunotherapy, nivolumab and ipilimumab in the first line treatment setting. The primary objectives of this study are to determine the safety and feasibility of administering the KRAS peptide vaccine with poly-ICLC adjuvant with chemoimmunotherapy nivolumab and ipilimumab. The secondary objectives are to estimate the progression free survival (PFS) of pooled mutant-KRAS long peptide vaccine with poly-ICLC adjuvant in combination with chemoimmunotherapy, Nivolumab + Ipilimumab for the first line treatment of patients with unresectable Stage III/IV NSCLC whose tumors harbor selected KRAS mutations (KRAS glycine-to-cysteine substitution at codon 12 (G12C), KRAS glycine-to-valine substitution at codon 12 (G12V), KRAS glycine-to-aspartate substitution at codon 12 (G12D), KRAS glycine-to-arginine substitution at codon 12 (G12A), KRAS glycine-to-Aspartate "D" at codon 13 (G13D) or KRAS G12R) and to assess the impact of predicted KRAS mutations on mutant-KRAS specific T cell responses in the peripheral blood of these patients. Participants will receive two doses of chemoimmunotherapy followed by KRAS-targeted vaccine with ipilimumab and nivolumab. Exploratory objectives will assess the impact of predicted KRAS mutations on mutant-KRAS specific T cell responses in the peripheral blood, as well as changes in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA). Approximately 15 subjects will be enrolled to have 12 evaluable subjects for T cell response assessment. Safety analysis will include all enrolled patients who receive at least one dose of vaccine. The evaluable population for T cell response will consist of all patients who receive at least one dose of vaccine and have baseline and post-treatment T cell measures in the peripheral blood at 12 weeks.
COVID-19 · Vaccine
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out which approach works better in getting more of the friends and connections of Latino adults get vaccinated against COVID-19. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can teaching people to use motivational interviewing help more friends and connections of Latino adults get the COVID-19 vaccine compared to just giving information about the vaccine? 2. What are the things that make it easier or harder for Latinos and networks to get the COVID-19 vaccine? 3. How does this intervention work in practice so that it can be made available to more people in the future The researchers will compare the vaccine rates of the friends and connections of Latinos who have been trained in motivational interviewing with those who have only been given information about the COVID-19 vaccine. This will help figure out which method works best to encourage more people to get vaccinated.
Zika · Influenza
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.
