What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Adverse Events After One Dose of Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine

    To assess the safety and tolerability in terms of number of adult and elderly subjects reporting solicited adverse events following one dose of the cTIV or the TIV vaccine .

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 postvaccination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Six-months Safety Data of Subjects After One Dose of Cell Culture Derived or Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine

    To collect additional safety data for 6 months after vaccination with one dose of cell culture derived or egg-derived influenza vaccine in terms of serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse events (AEs) necessitating a physician's visit and/or resulting in premature subject's withdrawal from study.

    Measured: Up to 6 months postvaccination

  2. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) After One Dose of Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine in Adult and Elderly Subjects

    The haemagglutinin inhibition (HI) antibody titer response following one 0.5 mL dose of either cell derived (cTIV) or egg-derived vaccine (TIV) in adult and elderly subjects is reported as GMTs.

    The HI GMTs were evaluated using egg-derived antigen assay.

    Measured: Day 22 postvaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs), After One Dose of the Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine in Adult and Elderly Subjects

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of GMR in adult and elderly subjects following one 0.5ml dose of either the cTIV vaccine or the TIV vaccine, according to the CHMP criteria.

    The European licensure (CHMP) criteria was met if the mean geometric increase (GMR, day 22/day 1) in HI antibody titer is >2.5 for adults and >2.0 for elderly subjects.

    Measured: Day 22 postvaccination

  4. Percentages of Adult and Elderly Subjects Achieving HI Titers ≥ 40 After One Dose of the Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of adult and elderly subjects achieving HI titers≥40,after one dose of either the cTIV vaccine or the TIV vaccine.

    European (CHMP) criteria is met if the percentage of subjects achieving HI titers ≥ 40 is > 70% for adults and >60% for elderly.

    Measured: Day 22 postvaccination

  5. Percentages of Adult and Elderly Subjects With Seroconversion or Significant Increase in HI Antibody Titers After One Dose of Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine.

    Immunogenicity was assessed in terms of percentages of adult and elderly subjects showing seroconversion or significant increase in HI antibody titers after one dose of cell culture-derived or the egg-derived influenza vaccine.

    Seroconversion or significant increase as per European Licensure (CHMP) criteria is defined as percentage of subjects with a prevaccination HI titer <10 to a postvaccination titer ≥ 40 for adults and ≥ 30 for elderly. Significant increase is defined as percentage of subjects with a prevaccination HI titer ≥ 10 and a ≥ 4-fold increase in postvaccination HI antibody titer.

    Measured: Day 22 postvaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cell culture derived influenza vaccine and egg-derived influenza subunit vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Novartis Vaccines at 5 sites in Poland.

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 8 inclusion and 26 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 14 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Poland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jan 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects Reporting Solicited Adverse Events After One Dose of Cell Culture-derived or the Egg-derived Influenza Vaccine (time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 postvaccination). 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 NCT00306527, 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 14 Aug 2019.
