NCT04521764 — A Vaccine (MV-s-NAP) for the Treatment of Patients With Invasive Metastatic Breast Cancer

This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of using a modified measles virus, MV-s-NAP, in treating patients with invasive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Both the unmodified vaccination measles virus (MV-Edm) and this modified virus (MV-s-NAP) have been shown to multiply in and destroy breast cancer cells in the test tube and in resea…

NCT04899765 — Measles and BCG Vaccines for Mother and Child

In Africa, the mortality from infectious diseases remains high. The investigators have discovered that live vaccines such as the BCG vaccine against tuberculosis and the measles vaccine can strengthen resistance to other infections: they have beneficial “non-specific effects”. The investigators have now seen signs that these non-specific effects for children are stronger if their mother has bee…

NCT05923970 — Is a Third Dose of MMRV Vaccine Beneficial for the Adult Population in Alberta?

The current recommendation for a full course of measles-mumps-rubella-(varicella) vaccine (MMR(V)) is two doses. The problem is, many individuals within the vaccinated cohort show antibody levels that are below the level considered to be protective, even after two doses of vaccine. Because of these waning antibody levels, it is currently unknown whether highly vaccinated populations are protect…
