About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Controlled Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of MEDI3250 in Adults 18 to 49 Years of Age

The objective of this study was to show that quadrivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine (Q/LAIV; MEDI3250) produced antibody levels similar to those produced by the commercial vaccine, FluMist.

Read the detailed description

This randomized, double-blind, active controlled, multicenter study enrolled 1,800 subjects who were 18 to 49 years of age. Subjects were randomized by site in a 4:1:1 fashion to receive a single dose of Q/LAIV, trivalent FluMist containing an influenza B strain from the Yamagata lineage (FluMist/B/Yamagata), or trivalent FluMist containing an influenza B strain from the Victoria lineage (FluMist/B/Victoria). The study was conducted at multiple sites in the USA in the influenza off-season.

    Serious adverse events were those that resulted in death; were life-threatening; resulted in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; were a birth defect in the offspring of a study participant; or were an important medical event that may not have resulted in death, threatened life, or required hospitalization but that, based on appropriate medical judgment, may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Days 0-28 post vaccination

  22. Number of Participants Reporting Any Serious Adverse Event From Administration of Investigational Product Through 180 Days Post Vaccination

    Serious adverse events were those that resulted in death; were life-threatening; resulted in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; were a birth defect in the offspring of a study participant; or were an important medical event that may not have resulted in death, threatened life, or required hospitalization but that, based on appropriate medical judgment, may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Days 0-180 post vaccination

  23. Number of Participants Reporting New Onset Chronic Diseases From Administration of Investigational Product Through 180 Days Post Vaccination

    An NOCD was a newly diagnosed medical condition that was of a chronic, ongoing nature and was assessed by the investigator as medically significant.

    Measured: Days 0-180 post vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Q/LAIV (MEDI3250), FluMist/B/Yamagata and FluMist/B/Victoria in people with Healthy or Stable Underlying Chronic Medical Condition, run by MedImmune LLC at 18 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 17 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 5 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 12 Aug 2011). 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?

The 4 Post-dose Strain-specific Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Antibody Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) in the Q/LAIV (MEDI3250) Arm Are Noninferior to Those in the Comparator FluMist Group. (time frame: Day 28-35). 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 NCT00860067, 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 5 Dec 2011.
