Disease arising from reactivation of latent virus

This study tests a new mRNA vaccine called SYS6017 to prevent shingles, a painful rash caused by the chickenpox virus. About 800 healthy adults aged 40 and older will receive either the new vaccine, a placebo, or an existing shingles vaccine. Researchers will check how well the v…

This phase 2 trial tests a new mRNA vaccine called IN001 for preventing shingles in healthy adults aged 50 to 79. Researchers will compare three dose levels of IN001 against the existing Shingrix vaccine to see how safe and effective they are. The study involves 480 participants …

This study compares two common antibiotic combinations—vancomycin with piperacillin/tazobactam versus vancomycin with meropenem—to see which is less harmful to the kidneys. About 852 hospitalized adults with serious infections will be randomly assigned to one of the two combos. T…

This study will test a new blood test that looks for tiny molecules called miRNAs to detect HCMV infection earlier in people who have received a stem cell transplant. The standard DNA test can miss early signs, so researchers hope this new method will give doctors a head start. A…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding daily calcitonin injections to standard shingles treatment can prevent postherpetic neuralgia, a painful nerve condition that can last for months or years. Researchers will enroll 168 adults aged 50 and older who have had a shingles rash fo…

This study tests a new shingles vaccine in 135 healthy adults aged 50 and older. Researchers will compare the immune response and safety of the new vaccine against an existing one to find the best dose. The goal is to prevent shingles, a painful rash caused by the chickenpox viru…

This study tests whether an extra dose of the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) can boost immunity in people who have had a solid-organ transplant, like a kidney or liver. About 30% of transplant patients still get shingles after the standard two-dose vaccine, likely due to immune-supp…

This study looks at whether the shingles vaccine can prevent shingles and improve survival in 500 lung cancer patients. Participants will either receive the vaccine or not, and researchers will track shingles cases and survival rates over time. The goal is to see if the vaccine o…

This study tests a special gel applied to the skin to see if it can quickly reduce pain from shingles. Thirty adults with shingles-related pain will receive a single application of the gel. Researchers will measure pain levels before and after application, focusing on relief with…

This study tests whether dexamethasone palmitate, a steroid, can better relieve shingles pain and prevent long-term nerve pain compared to standard care. About 954 adults with shingles rash and severe pain will receive the drug by injection or infusion. Researchers will track pai…

This observational study will look at 10,000 adults in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world during a single 24-hour period. Researchers want to find out how common infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are, how they are treated, and how patients recover. No new tre…

This research project aims to understand why older adults get more infections and why those infections can be more serious. By following 23,000 people aged 60 and older, scientists will collect health data and samples like blood and stool to study how the immune system changes wi…

This study will collect blood samples from 30,000 adults in the UK with various health conditions, including blood clots, infections, heart disease, diabetes, and more. The samples will be used to develop and fine-tune new diagnostic tests for the cobas® lumira device, which allo…

This study will follow 300 adults with severe infections in the ICU to see how levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)—natural molecules that help stop inflammation—change over time. Researchers will use blood samples already collected during routine care, so no extr…
