About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluzone Influenza Virus Vaccine (2005-2006 Formulation) Among Healthy Children 6 to 12 Weeks of Age

Study of the safety and immunogenicity (antibody producing capability) comparing inactivated influenza vaccine to placebo given to infants at 2 and 3 months of age. Infants will receive inactivated influenza vaccine at the same time as other vaccines on the routine immunization schedule. Infants will be randomized at enrollment to receive inactivated influenza vaccine or placebo at a 2:1 ratio. This study is double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled.

Read the detailed description

Methods: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 1375 healthy US infants 6-12 weeks of age. Subjects received either 2 doses of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV, Fluzone®, sanofi pasteur 2005-6 pediatric formulation) (N=915) or placebo (N=460) 1 month apart, along with indicated concomitant vaccines. Solicited adverse events were collected for 7 days following each vaccination, unsolicited adverse events for 28 days, and serious adverse events for 6 months. Hemagglutination inhibition antibodies to all 3 vaccine strains were measured following the second TIV/placebo dose.

Results: No significant differences were seen between TIV and placebo groups for any safety outcomes. Fever ≥38oC rectal within 3 days of vaccination was seen in 11.2% vs 11.7% of TIV vs placebo recipients. Serious adverse events within 28 days of vaccine/placebo were reported in 1.9% of TIV and 1.5% of placebo recipients; only one (hypersensitivity reaction in a TIV recipient) was considered vaccine-related. Significantly increased antibody responses (p<0.001) were seen against all 3 strains in TIV recipients by titer ≥ 1:40 or geometric mean titer (GMT) (p<0.001). Altogether, 50% of infants had antibody titers ≥ 1:40 for H1N1, 86% for H3N2, and 11% for B compared with 7%, 10%, and 0.3% in the placebo group. The reciprocal GMT for influenza recipients was 33, 95, and 11 for H1N1, H3N2, and B vs. 7, 9, and 5 for placebo recipients. Over 90% of infants who received TIV had antibody ≥ 1:40 for at least one vaccine strain and 49.6% for 2 strains, vs. 16.4% and 0.9% in the placebo group.

Conclusions: TIV administered to young infants beginning at 6-12 weeks of age is safe and immunogenic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing 2005-2006 trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in people with Inactivated Influenza Vaccine, run by Seattle Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 28 Jan 2009. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To demonstrate the safety of Fluzone vaccine administered to 2-month old children (time frame: within 6 months). 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 NCT00242424, 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 28 Jan 2009.
