About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Phase I/II, Dose-Ranging Study of the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of Intramuscular Inactivated Influenza A/H7N7 Vaccine in Healthy Adults
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, any adverse events or side effects, and the body's immune response to an experimental flu vaccine [Inactivated Influenza A/H7N7 Vaccine] being given in increasing doses. Researchers will try to find the smallest dose of flu vaccine needed to cause antibody responses against the flu virus in both single and repeat doses. The study will enroll 125 healthy adults ranging in age from 18 to 40 years old. Subjects will be given 2 doses of the vaccine 28 days apart. Study procedures will include obtaining a medical history, physical exam, blood sample collections, and use of patient memory aids. The volunteers will be in the study for about 7 months.
Read the detailed description
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, Phase I/II, influenza study will compare the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of increasing doses of monovalent subvirion influenza A/H7N7 virus vaccine administered by intramuscular (IM) injection to healthy adults. A total of 125 healthy adults ranging from 18 to 40 years old will be enrolled at one site for this study. The subjects will be randomized to receive saline placebo or 7.5, 15, 45, or 90 mcg of the influenza A/H7N7 vaccine by intramuscular (IM) injection in an approximate 1:1:1:1:1 ratio (N=25/vaccine dose group and 25 in the placebo group). Subjects will receive 2 doses separated by approximately 28 days. Subjects will be observed in the clinic for a minimum of 30 minutes after inoculation. All subjects will maintain a memory aid to record oral temperature and systemic and local adverse events (AEs) for 7 days after each immunization. Subjects will be contacted by telephone 1-3 days after vaccination to assess for the occurrence of AEs, and they will return to the clinic between Day 8 and 12 for AE and concomitant medication assessment, a targeted physical examination (if indicated), and review of the memory aid. Serum for immunogenicity evaluations will be obtained for subjects prior to the first vaccination, at Day 28 prior to the second vaccination, and on Days 56 and 208. A Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will review available 7 day safety data at approximately Day 20 following the first subject vaccination before administering the second dose of vaccine to any subjects. The primary objectives of the study will be: to determine the dose-related safety of subvirion inactivated H7N7 vaccine in healthy adults; to determine the dose-related immunogenicity of subvirion inactivated H7N7 vaccine in healthy adults approximately 1 month following receipt of 2 doses of vaccine; and to provide information for the selection of the best dose levels for further studies. The secondary objective will be to evaluate the dose-related immunogenicity and the percent of subjects responding approximately 1 and 7 months after the first vaccination. The primary endpoints are: adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) information (solicited in-clinic and via memory aids, concomitant medications, and periodic targeted physical assessment); the proportion of subjects in each dose group achieving a serum neutralizing antibody titer of greater than or equal to 40 against the influenza A/H7N7 virus 28 days after receipt of the second dose of vaccine (approximately Day 56); geometric mean titer (GMT) and frequency of 4-fold or greater increases in neutralizing antibody titers in each group 1 month after receipt of each dose, and 7 months after receipt of the first dose of vaccine; and GMT and frequency of 4-fold or greater increases in serum hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers in each group 1 month after receipt of each dose, and 7 months after receipt of the first dose of vaccine. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 7 months. This study is linked to DMID protocol 07-0060.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Influenza A/H7N7 Vaccine in people with Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 22 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 23 Aug 2013. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) information (solicited in-clinic and via memory aids, concomitant medications, and periodic targeted physical assessment). (time frame: Duration of study.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00546585, 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 23 Aug 2013.
