Clinical Trials Related to Vaccines
A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that the body later encounters.
Participate in a clinical trial to help find new vaccine modalities.
Dr. Kingsley, CEO of IACT Health, explains biologics and why you shouldn’t be scared of them in the following interview for the blog, SennSays.
Cytomegalovirus Vaccine – Healthy Volunteers
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a virus that can infect people of all ages. Most people never have symptoms of CMV. However, the virus can cause health problems for some babies whose mothers become infected with CMV during pregnancy. – Find A Study Near You –
E. coli Vaccine
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. Some types can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Healthy adults usually recover from infection with E. coli typically within a week, but young children and older adults have a greater risk of developing a life-threatening form of kidney failure. – Find A Study Near You –
Meningococcal (Meningitis) Vaccine
Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. The most common symptoms are fever, headache, and neck stiffness. Other symptoms include confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light or loud noises. – Find A Study Near You –
Pneumococcal (pneumonia) Vaccine
Pneumococcal vaccination is a method of preventing a specific type of lung infection (pneumonia) that is caused by the pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacterium. This multivalent pneumococcal vaccine is given with, or separately from, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in healthy infants. – Find A Study Near You –
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine
RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious, especially for infants and older adults. In fact, RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States. It is also a significant cause of respiratory illness in older adults. – Find A Study Near You –

Staph Aureus Vaccine
Staphylococcus aureus or “staph” is a type of bacteria found on human skin, in the nose, armpit, groin, and other areas. While these germs don’t always cause harm, they can make you sick under the right circumstances. Staph aureus is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections, such as abscesses, boils, furuncles, and cellulitis (red, swollen, painful, warm skin). Staph aureus germs can also cause more serious infections, such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, endocarditis (infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves), and bone and joint infections. Staph aureus is spread by touching infected blood or body fluids, most often by contaminated hands. – Find A Study Near You –
