Modified RNA Vaccines for Flu

New Orleans, Louisiana
The purpose of this study is to learn if modified RNA (modRNA) vaccines for the prevention of influenza are: * safe; and * how these vaccines produce an immune response in generally healthy adults. Immune response is the way the body protects itself against things it sees as harmful or foreign. RNA (also called ribonucleic acid) is one of two types of nucleic acid made by cells. RNA contains information that has been copied from DNA (the other type of nucleic acid). Cells make several different forms of RNA, and each form has a specific job in the cell. Many forms of RNA have functions related to making proteins. RNA is also the genetic material of some viruses instead of DNA. RNA can be made in the laboratory and used in research studies. Also called ribonucleic acid. Influenza is term used for flu illness. It is an infection caused by a virus that affects your mouth, nose, and throat. The study is seeking for participants who: * are at least 18 years of age * have not received an influenza vaccine within the last 6 months * are generally healthy This study will be divided into three sub-studies: Substudy A (SSA), Substudy B (SSB), and Substudy C (SSC). All participants, regardless of sub-study, will receive 1 dose of either of the following vaccines as an injection into their arm: * 1 of the modRNA influenza vaccines that is being studied; or * an approved influenza vaccine approved for use in their respective age group. Participants will be involved in this study for about 6 months. During this time, participants will have at least 3 clinic visits.

Over-the-counter drugs like acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol®) can be detrimental. In space, astronauts who have pain and constant discomfort use acetaminophen extensively. Investigators are studying the effects of acetaminophen under space-like conditions since acetaminophen might affect astronauts' health. Investigators also wish to see whether a dietary supplement can reduce some negative effects of acetaminophen. It is believed that acetaminophen promotes the productions of chemicals in the body that could be toxic. In this study, measurements of these chemicals in urine after ingestion of 1 tablet of acetaminophen and compare these measurements to when acetaminophen is taken at the same time as a dietary supplement. This study will also explore whether these products are more abundant when blood is placed under conditions that mimic space. Therefore, this study will collect blood from a few volunteers who took acetaminophen, and acetaminophen with the dietary supplement.

In this project, the investigators propose to test effectiveness of a daily nutraceutical supplement containing bioactive B vitamins to mitigate optic disc edema in astronauts. The proposed countermeasure is intended to maximize functioning of the one-carbon metabolic pathway to provide enough substrate and cofactors to overcome any genetic differences that may impact the efficiency of enzyme function. By optimizing the pathway, this will 1) optimize endothelial function by increasing eNOS coupling and nitric oxide synthesis and 2) optimize collagen firmness and elasticity in the sclera and lamina cribrosa, and 3) minimize changes in total retinal thickness during and after flight. The protocol includes assessments of ocular health and function, along with determinants of vascular endothelial function, advanced glycation end products, and nutritional status and one carbon biochemistry. These additional measures will be critical for the further definition of the causes of optic disc edema in some astronauts after long-duration space flight, and in understanding the effect of the countermeasure. Finally, the supplemented subjects in this study will be compared against total retinal thickness data from previously flown astronauts known to have not taken supplements during their missions.

The primary objective of this substudy is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET ligand \[18F\]DPA-714 in participants enrolled in the UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson's Disease (Clinical Research Core) and Longitudinal \[18F\]DPA-714 Imaging in a Parkinson Disease Cohort studies. The PET tracer \[18F\]DPA-714 binds to the 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO, also known as the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor) in the mitochondria of activated microglia/macrophages and provides a non-invasive measure of neuroinflammation. The amount and distribution of \[18F\]DPA-714 in the brain will be correlated to clinical data acquired through the separate ongoing UAB Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Parkinson Disease (Clinical Research Core) and Longitudinal \[18F\]DPA-714 Imaging in a Parkinson Disease Cohort studies. The primary objective of this study is to determine if patients with PD have higher levels of neuroinflammation than healthy controls as measured with \[18F\]DPA-714-PET/MRI.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials in New Orleans, LA pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do clinical trials in New Orleans, LA work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials in New Orleans, LA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in New Orleans, LA is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in New Orleans, LA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study in New Orleans, LA ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest clinical trials in New Orleans, LA ?

Most recently, we added PGT121.414.LS + VRC07-523LS for HIV, HIV Vaccine for HIV Prevention and DV700P-RNA + DV701B1.1-RNA for HIV to the Power online platform.
