About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase 1/2 Study to Assess the Immunogenicity and Safety of a Single Prime-Boost Vaccination Schedule With a Vero Cell-Derived Whole Virus H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Volunteers Aged 18 to 59 Years

The main objective of the study is to assess the immune response to a non-adjuvanted H5N1 influenza vaccine in an adult population when administered according to a single prime-boost schedule.

Being tested
Influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell derived)
Medical subject headings
Influenza, Human, Influenza in Birds

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell derived)Biological

    Dose A (Vietnam strain) for priming vaccination (Day 0) - Dose B (Indonesia strain) for booster vaccination (Day 360)

  • Influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell derived)Biological

    Dose A (Vietnam strain) for priming vaccination (Day 0) - Dose A (Indonesia strain) for booster vaccination (Day 360)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain associated with protection 21 days after the booster vaccination defined as titer measured by microneutralization test >= 1:20.

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of subjects with antibody response associated with protection 21, 42, 180 and 360 days after the priming vaccination and 21 days after the booster vaccination

    Measured: at the timepoints stated above

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell derived) in people with Influenza and Avian Influenza, run by Alachua Government Services, Inc. at 3 sites in 2 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 7 inclusion and 16 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 9 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Finland, Austria. 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?

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?

Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain associated with protection 21 days after the booster vaccination defined as titer measured by microneutralization test >= 1:20. (time frame: 21 days). 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 9 Oct 2015.
