About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Tolerability and Safety of an Adjuvanted, Inactivated Novel Swine Origin A/H1N1 Monovalent Subunit Influenza Virus Vaccine in Healthy Subjects Aged 18 Years and Above

This present study, a phase II, open label study will evaluate the immunogenicity, tolerability and safety of an adjuvanted, inactivated Novel Swine Origin A/H1N1 Monovalent Subunit Influenza Virus Vaccine in healthy subjects aged 18 years and above. This study will explore the effect of the previous and concomitant exposure to a seasonal influenza vaccination to the immunogenicity and safety profile of two different doses of an adjuvanted H1N1sw vaccine.

Read the detailed description

At enrolment, subjects were stratified into two age strata (18 to 60 years, over 60 years). Total duration of the study is eight weeks, which include two weeks for enrolment and 6 weeks for study participation. Vaccinations were to be administered on day 1 and day 22. Blood samples were collected at day 1 (baseline, before the first vaccination), at day 22 (before the second vaccination), at day 29 (one week after the second vaccination) and at day 43 (three weeks after the second vaccination). Sera were tested by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) and Microneutralization (MN) assays. Safety was assessed until 3 weeks after the first and second vaccination.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Monovalent A/H1N1 influenza vaccineBiological

    This trial will be performed at multiple sites; appr. 160 subjects exposed to the annual vaccine registration will be invited to take part into this study. In addition, a total of 224 healthy subjects not yet exposed to the seasonal influenza vaccines will be enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Monovalent A/H1N1 influenza vaccine in people with Pandemic Influenza Disease, run by Novartis Vaccines at 5 sites in Italy.

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 5 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 1 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Italy. 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?

To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of 1 and 2 IM doses of MF59-H1N1sw flu vaccine in adult-elderly subjects previously exposed to 09/10 NH TIV and in those not yet vaccinated against flu season 09/10. (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT00992212, 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 1 Dec 2016.
