Females who are pregnant or nursing (breastfeeding) mothers or females of childbearing age who do not plan to use acceptable birth control measures, for the duration of the study. Adequate contraception is defined as hormonal (oral, injection, transdermal patch, implant, cervical ring), barrier (condom or diaphragm), intrauterine device (IUD) or monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 6 months or more prior to the subject's study entry.
  • Influenza vaccination or laboratory confirmed influenza within the last 6 months and more than one influenza vaccination within the past 12 months

  • They have experienced fever (i.e., axillary temperature ≥ 38°C) within the last 3 days
  • Simultaneous participation in another clinical study.
  • Any condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator, might prevent the subject from participation or interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives.
  • Severely obese with Body Mass Index (BMI) > 35
  • Site personnel involved in evaluation of safety and their immediate relatives are excluded from participation.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Single Center, Uncontrolled, Open-Label Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of a Surface Antigen, Inactivated Influenza Vaccine [Ph.Eur], Formulation 2009/2010, When Administered to Non-Elderly Adult and Elderly Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antibody response to each of the three influenza vaccine strains included in the licensed seasonal flu vaccine, as measured by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) at 21 days post immunization in non-elderly and elderly subjects in compliance with the requirements of the current European Union (EU) recommendations for the evaluation of the immunogenicity for a new formulation of a licensed flu vaccine (CPMP/BWP/214/96).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza and Seasonal Influenza, run by Novartis at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 27 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 28 Mar 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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 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?

Immunogenicity and tolerability of the Flu vaccines is being measured (time frame: 2 - 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 28 Mar 2017.
