About this study

Official title: Influenza Specific Humoral and Cellular Immunity After Vaccination in Recipients of Allogeneic and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

RATIONALE: Studying immune response to flu vaccine in patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant may help doctors plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying flu vaccine to see how well it works in preventing infection in patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant and in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Examine the humoral and cellular memory immune responses to influenza immunization in patients who have undergone autologous or allogeneic hematologic stem cell transplantation.
  • Examine the impact of graft-vs-host disease on immune reconstitution and vaccine response in these patients.
  • Examine the impact of age ≥ 60 years on immune reconstitution after vaccination in these patients.
  • Examine and compare the cellular memory immune response to influenza immunization in healthy volunteers versus the response in these patients.
  • Examine the differences between CD8, CD4, and antibody response to circulating flu strains compared to immune response to flu vaccination in immunized vs non-immunized patients who were transplanted at a similar time and from the same transplant source.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to transplantation type and response (allogeneic HCT with no acute or chronic GVHD vs allogeneic HCT with acute or chronic GVHD vs autologous HCT) and patient age (≥ 60 years vs < 60 years).

Beginning 100-364 days post-transplantation patients receive vaccine to immunize against influenza A serotypes specific for influenza seasons 2006-2008, and/or vaccine to immunize against influenza A and B serotypes specific for influenza seasons 2009-2011. Healthy participants receive vaccine to immunize against influenza A serotypes specific for influenza season 2007-2008.

Blood samples from patients and healthy participants are collected at baseline and at days 30, 90, 180, and 360 post-vaccination for humoral immunity and antibody analysis by ELISA and hemagglutination-inhibition test (HAI) testing.

What participants receive

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

  • trivalent influenza vaccineBiological

    Patients or normal volunteers who will be vaccinated against the flu.

  • Immunoenzyme techniqueOther

    This test will determine the level of antibodies in participants who have been vaccinated against the flu and those who have not been vaccinated against the flu.

  • Laboratory biomarker analysisOther

    This test will count the number of T cells (the cells that kill the flu virus) in participants who have been vaccinated against the flu and those who have not been vaccinated against the flu.

What is being measured

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

  1. Humoral and cellular memory immune responses in patients and healthy volunteers

    Measured: At Day 0 and 30, 90 and 180 days after vaccine in healthy participants and also at 360 days in transplant patients . 4-5 times in the first 2 years after transplant for transplant patients not vaccinated. One time in normal participants not vaccinated.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence rate of influenza or respiratory incidence in patients after vaccination

    Measured: 1 year after vaccination or two years after transplant if not vaccinated.

  2. Impact of graft-vs-host disease on immune reconstitution and vaccine response

    Measured: 1 year after vaccination or two years after transplant if not vaccinated.

  3. Impact of age ≥ 60 years on immune reconstitution of after vaccination

    Measured: 1 year after vaccination or two years after transplant if not vaccinated.

  4. Differences between antibody and cytokine (CD8 and CD4) response

    Measured: 180 days after vaccine in healthy participants. 360 days after vaccine in transplant patients. 2 years after transplant for transplant patients not vaccinated. One time in normal participants not vaccinated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Leukemia, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 2 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?

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 7 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

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?

Humoral and cellular memory immune responses in patients and healthy volunteers (time frame: At Day 0 and 30, 90 and 180 days after vaccine in healthy participants and also at 360 days in transplant patients . 4-5 times in the first 2 years after transplant for transplant patients not vaccinated. One time in normal participants not vaccinated.). 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 7 Nov 2017.
