About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial To Assess Safety And Efficacy Of Influenza Virus Vaccine, Trivalent, Types A & B, Live Cold-Adapted (CAIV-T) In Adults Aged 60 Years And Older CAIV-T, Liquid Formulation

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the liquid formulation of CAIV-T against culture confirmed influenza illness in adults aged 60 years and older. In addition this study aims to demonstrate superiority of CAIV-T when compared with placebo and the effect on economic resources.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the efficacy over 1 year against culture-confirmed influenza-illness caused by community-acquired subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine, in adults aged ≥ 60 years at enrollment, of 1 dose of an intranasally-administered (IN) liquid formulation of influenza virus vaccine, trivalent, types A and B, live, cold-adapted (CAIV-T; Wyeth, Marietta, PA, USA) compared with saline placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary study endpoint was the comparison of efficacy of CAIV-T versus placebo against culture-confirmed influenza-illness caused by community-acquired influenza subtypes that were antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. A secondary comparison of interest was the incidence of culture-confirmed influenza-illness caused by any antigenic subtype.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CAIV-T in people with Influenza, run by MedImmune LLC at 1 site in South Africa.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 3 Oct 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Africa. 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 phase mean?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary study endpoint was the comparison of efficacy of CAIV-T versus placebo against culture-confirmed influenza-illness caused by community-acquired influenza subtypes that were antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00217230, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Oct 2006.
