About this study

Official title: Proof of Concept Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Influenza Virus Vaccine Fluzone® 2004-2005 Among Healthy Children 2 Months vs 6 Months of Age

Primary Objective:

To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule (described in the package insert for vaccine-naïve young children) to the investigational and control groups.

Observational Objective:

To describe the percentage of protective Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) antibody titers (following a 2-dose Fluzone® immunization series) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens among the investigational and control groups.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational and descriptive study that will provide preliminary comparative information about the safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone® vaccine among children aged 6 to 12 weeks (the investigational group, also referred to as the 2-month-old group) versus children aged 24 to 36 weeks (the control group, also referred to as the 6-month-old group). The study is not designed to achieve any preset statistical power, and no hypotheses will be tested.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Influenza virus vaccine (2004-2005 Formulation) in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 8 sites 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 7 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 14 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jul 2009). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactions After Vaccination With Fluzone® 2004-2005 Pediatric Formulation. (time frame: Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination). 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 14 Apr 2016.
