BPL-1357 Against H1N1 Influenza Virus Challenge

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. ...

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Onradivir Tablets in Participants Aged 12 to 17 Years With Uncomplicated Influenza A.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Onradivir Tablets in participants aged 12 to 17 years with influenza A virus infection. The trial plans to enroll approximately 150 adolescent participants (12-17 years) with uncomplicated influenza A, confirmed by rapid antigen/nucleic acid testing and within 48 hours of symptom onset. Eligible participants who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Onradivir Tablets or placebo once daily for 5 consecutive days. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, and a safety follow-up period. Each participant will be followed up until Day 14 after the first dose. Nasopharyngeal swabs will be collected at screening, Day 2, Day 4, Day 5, and Day 10 for virological testing, including: Viral load measurement by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) Viral titer determination by culture assay (50% tissue culture infectious dose, TCID₅₀) Throughout the treatment and safety follow-up periods, participants will record body temperature, influenza symptom scores, and daily activity scores using a diary card. Clinical laboratory tests will be performed at screening, Day 5, and Day 15. Physical examinations and vital signs measurements will be conducted at each follow-up visit. Adverse events and concomitant medications will be documented throughout the study.

SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Study of Next Generation Non-Invasive Passive Detection Technologies (Level42)

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate new non-invasive passive surveillance technologies, Level 42 AI imPulse™ Una and TOR devices for the detection of COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals over age of 18 undergoing COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV screening and testing at BAMC Ft Sam Houston, TX; with and without COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV. The hypotheses are: (H1) The imPulseTM Una and the imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscopes have at least a similar discriminative and detection ability among symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 carrier versus those not infected compared to gold standard RT-PCR. We will operationalize and deploy both the imPulseTM Una and imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscope into DoD use-cases and compare their usability between the devices. (H2) Identify if the imPulseTM Una and the imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscopes have at least a similar discriminative and detection ability among symptomatic and asymptomatic Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Influenza and Long COVID carriers versus those not infected compared to gold standard Rapid RSV and Flu Antigen Tests, or RT-PCR and molecular assays. We will operationalize and deploy both the imPulseTM Una and imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscope into DoD use-cases and compare their captured traces in the early identification of disease/illness analyzed by the devices built in algorithms. (H3) In the mid to long-term, this approach will also be explored as a diagnostic system to explore pursue the physical (structural and mechanical) properties of cells and tissues that maintain normal cell behavior (motility, growth, apoptosis), and the critical importance of the ability of cells to sense and respond to mechanical stresses, which will be operationally critical for assessment of both traumatic and unconventional exposures in austere environments. Participants will: * Be consented; * Be screened for COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV symptoms according to BAMC's current screening procedures; * Have study data collected; * Complete a symptoms questionnaire; * imPulseTM Una and TOR e-stethoscopes examination will be conducted; * Participants will be compensated for completing all study requirements. (Active-Duty personnel must complete the study procedures while off-duty in order to receive compensation.)

The primary objectives are to evaluate safety and immunogenicity: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of one or two doses of monovalent or bivalent Group 1 and 2 study products and 2) To describe the Group 1 and 2 anti-HA stalk IgG antibody responses of one or two doses of monovalent or bivalent Group 1 and 2 study products by ELISA.

Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a Mosaic Hexavalent Influenza Vaccine VRC-FLUMOS0116-00-VP (FluMos-v2) in Healthy Adults

Background: Influenza (flu) virus causes 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 650,000 deaths per year worldwide. Current vaccines work well against single strains of flu virus. But no single vaccine works well against all flu viruses that can cause illness. Objective: To test an experimental flu vaccine (FluMos-v2) in healthy adults. Eligibility: Healthy adults aged 18 to 50 years. Design: Participants will have 11 clinic visits in 10 months. They must agree not to get a licensed flu vaccine while taking part in this study. FluMos-v2 will be given with a needle injected into a muscle in the upper arm. Participants will receive a follow-up phone call the following day. Participants will be given a diary card, a ruler, and a thermometer. They will take their temperature every day for 7 days after receiving the shot. They will measure any skin changes at the injection site. They will record their findings and how they feel. Participants will receive a second FluMos-v2 shot after 4 months. They will repeat the other follow-up steps. Participants will have 9 other clinic follow-up visits. Blood will be drawn at each visit. Participants should also come to the clinic if they develop flu-like symptoms during the study. Participants may opt for an apheresis 2 weeks after each shot: Blood will be removed through a needle in the vein of 1 arm. The blood will run through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood is returned through a needle in the other arm.

The Effects of Endotracheal Suctioning on Pain and Serum Markers

The goal of this experimental study is to understand if endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning increases pain and causes stress on the body in intubated adult ICU patients. These patients are already on ventilators, which means they need suctioning to keep their airways clear, but this procedure may be uncomfortable and cause stress. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does ETT suctioning raise pain levels as measured by the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT)? Does ETT suctioning increase certain chemicals in the blood (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) that show stress and lack of oxygen in the body? Researchers will compare patients who have ETT suctioning (intervention group) with those who do not have suctioning during the study period (control group) to see if there are differences in pain and blood markers of stress. Participants will: Have pain measured before and after suctioning using the CPOT. Have blood samples taken from an existing line at three time points: 5 minutes before, 5 minutes after, and 30 minutes after suctioning. Provide demographic information (like age, gender, and diagnosis) from medical records. This research will help improve how pain is managed for ICU patients who cannot speak for themselves, potentially leading to better pain relief methods in the future.

pH1N1 Blinded Challenge Study

This protocol describes a clinical trial to develop and validate a Controlled Human Infection Model (CHIM) for influenza A/Arkansas/08/2020 (pH1N1). The study is designed to determine the optimal infectious dose of the pH1N1 challenge strain for use in future clinical trials evaluating influenza countermeasures. The study will enroll and challenge adult volunteers with the pH1N1 influenza virus challenge or sham inoculations. Given the adaptive design of this trial, the potential number of participants can vary. Depending on the pathway recommended by the PSRT and followed in the Trial Schema, the study population can range from around 30 to 99. The anticipated final sample size will be approximately 90 receiving pH1N1 challenge product plus and 6 persons receiving a sham inoculation. Participants will be pre-screened for health and for serological HAI antibody titers of \</1:40 against the challenge strain. Eligible participants will be enrolled sequentially into challenge cohorts and will be randomly assigned to receive a single dose of either sham inoculation or the interventional study product at a dose between 10\^6 to 10\^7 TCID50 (or 10\^5 TCID50 if needed). Dose titration will be conducted under an adaptive escalation schedule whereby dosing will start at 10\^6 TCID50 and escalate to the next dose if a pre-determined symptomatic influenza attack rate and clinical symptom score thresholds are not met and if the dose is determined to be safe with no pre-defined halting criteria being met. The primary objectives of this study are to determine the optimal infectious dose of a pH1N1 viral challenge to cause laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza and to assess the safety profile of pH1N1 viral challenge.

Screening for LID Clinical Studies Unit Healthy Volunteer Protocols

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.

Cellular and Molecular Characterization of the Immune Response in Healthy NIH Employees atBaseline, and After Immunization With the H1N1 or Seasonal Influenza Vaccines

Background: \- Seasonal influenza is a major health problem whose impact is typically reduced by vaccination. The H1N1 (swine flu) influenza virus is an emerging pathogen that has the potential to cause devastating illness and even death in the coming months. Currently, there are limited data on the cellular and molecular immune responses in adult recipients of either the seasonal or the H1N1 influenza vaccines. Objectives: \- To obtain blood and nasal wash samples and perform laboratory studies to characterize the immune response in healthy adult volunteers at baseline and after immunization with the seasonal or H1N1 influenza vaccines. Eligibility: \- Adult employees at least 18 years of age of the NIH Clinical Center who are deemed healthy by a brief medical history and physical examination and routine blood testing. Design: * Before the start of the influenza season, volunteers will receive either the seasonal influenza vaccine or the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. If the H1N1 vaccine is available at the start of the season, volunteers will receive both the seasonal vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine. * Blood will be drawn over an 8-week period. Volunteers must not eat anything for 8 hours prior to the blood draw. The sequence of the blood draws is as follows: 2 weeks before vaccination; right before vaccination; and 1, 7, 14, 28, and 60 days after vaccination. * Two to four nasal washings will be collected by a nurse before volunteers receive the vaccination(s) and 28 days after the vaccination. * Prevaccine and postvaccine blood and nasal wash samples will be compared to determine volunteers immune responses. * Research samples will be stored indefinitely and will be used strictly for laboratory experiments.

Communication Intervention to Improve Influenza Vaccination Rates Among Elderly in Can Tho

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a multi-component community-based communication intervention to increase influenza vaccination rates among adults aged above 65 years in Can Tho City, Vietnam. Using a cluster randomised controlled trial design with stratified lottery randomisation, four study sites were selected from eight sites surveyed in a prior study: O Mon Ward and Truong Thanh Commune (intervention); Phuoc Thoi Ward and Truong Xuan Commune (control). The intervention includes community health education sessions, healthcare worker training, household visits, health communication banners, and Zalo-based vaccination reminders, delivered over 12 months (September 2025 to September 2026). Effectiveness is assessed by comparing pre- and post-intervention outcomes using Difference-in-Differences (DID) analysis.

Smart Analysis and Decision-Making for Emerging Infectious Diseases

Emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, mpox, and dengue fever, are characterized by rapid transmission, wide impact, and high uncertainty, posing ongoing threats to global public health. While China achieved significant success in COVID-19 control, the response also revealed key challenges, including fragmented information, delayed risk perception, experience-dependent assessment, and inefficiencies in complex decision-making. This study aims to establish a smart technology system covering the full chain of "risk perception-situational assessment-intelligent decision-making-comprehensive evaluation." Specific objectives include: Constructing a global disease burden database and knowledge graph for emerging infectious diseases; Developing early risk assessment models covering the full transmission spectrum (cross-species, imported, and local outbreak); Building an AI-driven collective intelligence decision-support tool for epidemic control; Developing precise intervention frameworks and comprehensive evaluation indicators for key populations (e.g., elderly, students); Integrating the above technologies into a multi-agent toolkit and evaluating its effectiveness through a cluster randomized controlled trial across 52 CDC sites in five provinces (Guangdong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, and Shanghai). The study population includes public health professionals and managers responsible for epidemic surveillance, risk assessment, decision-making, and emergency response at the city/district/county CDC levels across the five provinces. Approximately 780 participants will be enrolled. The intervention group will use the smart toolkit alongside routine practices, while the control group will follow routine practices only. The primary outcome is response time for epidemic assessment and decision-making (hours from risk perception to decision completion). Secondary outcomes include epidemic control effectiveness, user satisfaction, and socioeconomic benefits. The intervention period is 3 months, starting around July 2026 and ending in December 2027. This study has been approved by the Peking University Biomedical Ethics Committee. The study does not involve individual patient data; all data are aggregated at the district/county level from CDC sources or publicly available data. Anonymous questionnaires do not collect any personal identifiable information.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA-LNP in Healthy Adults

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.

Virological Surveillance of Acute Respiratory Infection in Primary Health Care in Metropolitan France

Every year in the fall and winter, numerous respiratory viruses (such as influenza viruses, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), RSV, rhinovirus, and metapneumovirus) circulate in mainland France, causing acute respiratory infections (ARIs). These viruses can cause epidemics of varying severity, requiring close monitoring to determine their circulation levels and adapt public health measures accordingly. In France, ARI surveillance relies on two networks: the Sentinelles network in primary care and the RENAL network in hospitals. The Sentinelles surveillance is conducted in collaboration with Santé publique France, the National Reference Center for Respiratory Infection Viruses (Institut Pasteur and Hospices Civils de Lyon), and the University of Corsica. As part of the virological surveillance of ARIs, Sentinelles physicians are asked to collect nasopharyngeal swabs or saliva samples from a sample of patients presenting with an ARI during their clinic visits. This surveillance makes it possible to identify respiratory viruses circulating in primary care (general practice and pediatrics), to describe confirmed cases for each of the circulating viruses, and to estimate the impact of each on general practice. This surveillance also allows for the evaluation of the effectiveness of vaccines against influenza and COVID-19.
