Who may be able to join

  • Male and female subjects will be eligible for participation in this study if they:

  • suffer from any kind of immunodeficiency;
  • suffer from a disease (e.g. autoimmune disease) or are undergoing a form of treatment (e.g. systemic corticosteroids, chemotherapeutics) that can be expected to influence the normal immunologic functions;
  • have a history of inflammatory or degenerative neurological disease (e.g. Guillain Barré, multiple sclerosis);
  • have received a blood transfusion or immunoglobulins within 30 days of study entry;

About this study

Official title: Single-blind Randomized Controlled Phase II/III Study to Investigate the Immunogenicity and Safety After a Single Vaccination With Three Different Lots of an Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (Whole Virion, Vero Cell-derived) in Comparison to a Licensed Egg Derived Influenza Vaccine for Season 2004/2005.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Vero Cell-derived Influenza Vaccine and Egg cell-derived Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Alachua Government Services, Inc. at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany, Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Oct 2015.
