About this study

Official title: Controlled Trial of Serologic Efficacy of Influenza Vaccine in Patients With Sarcoidosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of influenza vaccine (antibody response) in patients with sarcoidosis.

Read the detailed description

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease with unclear etiology characterized by the presence of noncaseating granuloma[1]. T helper cells response is exaggerated at the site of disease and cellular immunity depressed in peripheral blood[2]. Cutaneous anergy, lymphopenia and inversion of CD4/CD8 ratio in peripheral blood suggest T helper cells involvement[3].

The action of humeral immune system in sarcoidosis is a matter of controversy. Standard hepatitis B virus vaccination did not provoke protective antibody titer in patients with sarcoidosis[3]. Although antibody response against influenza vaccine in patients with sarcoidosis is not well described, this vaccine is highly recommended in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases such as asthma, COPD and fibrosis [4, 5, 6]. In this study we aim to evaluate the humeral response to the influenza vaccine in sarcoidosis patients and assess vaccine safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serologic Response (equal or more than 4 fold HI titer rise) to each of the 3 antigens of the trivalent vaccine of the 2008-9 influenza vaccine

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Magnitude of change in the antibody titer against each of the 3 antigenes of the trivalent vaccine of the 2008/2009 season [A/Brisbane/59/2007(HIN1)-like virus;A/Brisbane/10/2007(H3N2)-like virus;B/Florida/4/2006-like virus]

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  2. Protective Antibody (equal or more than 1:40) titer after vaccination

    Measured: 4-6 weeks

  3. Vaccine Safety (any major or minor side effects)

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Sarcoidosis, run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 9 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 21 May 2009. 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 Iran. 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.

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?

Serologic Response (equal or more than 4 fold HI titer rise) to each of the 3 antigens of the trivalent vaccine of the 2008-9 influenza vaccine (time frame: 4-6 weeks). 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 NCT00828828, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 21 May 2009.
