What is being measured

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

  1. GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies (HIA) and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate and seroprotection rate checked against the CHMP criteria. The seroprotection power will be calculated as well.

    Measured: On Day 21 (± 2) after vaccination

  2. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of solicited local and general symptoms

    Measured: Within 4 days after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence and causal relationship to vaccination of unsolicited signs and symptoms

    Measured: Within 30 days after vaccination

  2. Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of any serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Measured: During the entire study period.

  3. Investigation of antibody persistence assessed by the criteria of the CHMP.

    Measured: 11, 19, 27 weeks after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Thiomersal free trivalent influenza split vaccine 2002/2003 and GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' Influsplit SSW®/Fluarix™ 2002/2003 in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 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 8 Aug 2008. 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 Germany. 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?

GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies (HIA) and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate and seroprotection rate checked against the CHMP criteria. The seroprotection power will be calculated as well. (time frame: On Day 21 (± 2) after vaccination). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Aug 2008.
