About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of Different Doses of Trivalent Baculovirus-expressed Influenza HA Vaccine in Adults With Non-Hodgkin's B-cell Lymphoma: A Phase II, Double-Blind Pilot Study - Version 4

Primary Objective:

To assess the trend in immunogenic response across patients administered either licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or one of three doses (15, 45 or 135 μg) of trivalent recombinant baculovirus expressed hemagglutinin vaccines. Immunogenic response is defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in serum antibody.

Secondary Objective:

To determine the safety and tolerability of 3 doses (15 μg HA per virus, 45 μg HA per virus, and 135 μg HA per virus) of recombinant baculovirus-expressed HA vaccine in patients with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Influenza is a common respiratory infection caused by viruses. Standard influenza vaccines may not be as effective at protecting cancer patients as the general population from getting influenza. New technology has been developed that allows stronger (and hopefully more effective) influenza vaccines to be developed. This research study will test an experimental influenza vaccine.

If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the toss of a coin) to receive either standard inactivated influenza vaccine or one of three doses of the experimental vaccine. You will have an equal chance of being assigned to any of the four treatment groups. Neither your physician, the study doctor, or you will know which vaccine or dose you received. In case of an emergency, the study doctor can find out which vaccine and dose you received.

Before the injection is given, a blood test will be taken to measure your antibodies (substances that fight infection). About two teaspoons of blood will be taken for this blood test. The vaccine will be given as a one time injection in the arm. After you are given the injection, you will be observed for 20 minutes in the clinic before you are sent home. Everyone taking part in this study will be asked to keep a symptom diary and temperature log for 1 week after the injection. After 7 days, you will return for review of the diary and any symptoms you may have had.

At 4 and 8 weeks after the influenza vaccine is given, most patients will have a blood test to learn the amount of immunity against the influenza virus they have developed. About two teaspoons of blood will be required for this test. A few patients may not be eligible for the eight week blood collection and will be instructed by the study nurse about future visits to UTMDACC. Six months after you have received the vaccine, you will be contacted by one of the study personnel to ask you if you had any serious side effects that might be from the study vaccine. Once you have received this follow-up telephone call, your participation in this study will be completed.

This is an investigational study. The standard vaccine used in this study is FDA approved and commercially available. The experimental vaccine is authorized for use in research only. About 100 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at UTMDACC.

This protocol is partially funded by a research contract from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to Baylor College of Medicine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trivalent Baculovirus-expressed Influenza HA vaccine in people with Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 6 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 31 Jul 2012. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Immunogenic response across patients administered either licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or one of three doses (15, 45 or 135 μg) of trivalent recombinant baculovirus expressed hemagglutinin vaccines. (time frame: 3 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 31 Jul 2012.
