    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of local symptoms.

    Measured: Day 0-6

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General AEs

    Any fever was defined as oral temperature ≥38.0 degree centigrade (°C), grade 3 fever was oral temperature ≥ 39.0°C. For other symptoms, any was defined as occurrence of any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to the study vaccination, grade 3 was defined as a general symptom that prevented normal activity. Related arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering and fever were defined as general symptoms assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-6

  4. Duration of Solicited General AEs

    Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.

    Measured: Day 0-6

  5. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited AEs

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 was defined as an unsolicited symptom that prevented normal activity. Related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

  6. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related AEs With a Medically Attended Visit (MAEs) During Day 0 to Day 20

    For each solicited and unsolicited AE the subject experienced, the subject was asked if they had received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade, grade 3 was defined as a symptom that prevented normal activity and related was a general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

  7. Number of Subjects Reporting AEs of Specific Interest (AESI) Including Autoimmune Diseases From Day 0 to Day 20

    AESI for safety monitoring are a subset of AEs that include both clearly autoimmune diseases and also other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders which may or may not have an autoimmune etiology. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade.

    Measured: Day 0-20

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Day 0 to Day 20

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 0-20

Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade, grade 3 was defined as a symptom that prevented normal activity and related was a general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 21-179

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting AEs of Specific Interest (AESI) Including Autoimmune Diseases Between Day 21 and Day 364

    AESI for safety monitoring are a subset of AEs that include both clearly autoimmune diseases and also other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders which may or may not have an autoimmune etiology. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade, grade 3 was defined as a symptom that prevented normal activity and related was a general symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

    Measured: Day 21-364.

  3. Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titres (GMTs) per separate vaccine strain. The vaccine strains included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay and B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: Day 0-21

  4. The Number of Subjects Seropositive to HI Antibodies

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with antibody titer greater than or equal to the cut-off value i.e ≥ 1:10. The vaccine strains included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay and B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: Day 0-21

  5. The Number of Subjects Seroprotected by HI Antibodies

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer ≥ 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection. The vaccine strains included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay and B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: Day 0-21

  6. The Number of Subjects Seroconverted to HI Antibodies

    A seroconverted subject was defined as a subject who had either a pre-vaccination titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The vaccine strains included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay and B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: At Day 21

  7. HI Antibody Seroconversion Factors (SCF)

    SCF was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to Day 0. The vaccine strains included A/Brisbane, A/Uruguay and B/Brisbane antigens.

    Measured: At Day 21

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Day 21 to Day 364

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Influenza vaccine GSK2186877A and GSK Biologicals' Fluarix™ in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 29 sites in 4 countries.

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 15 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 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in Germany, United States, Norway, Belgium. 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 24 Apr 2012). 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 Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Day 0-6). The study lists 8 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 31 Jul 2018.
