About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Safety and Tolerability of a H1N1 Influenza Vaccine in Immunocompromised Adults Who Have Undergone Solid Organ Transplantation or Bone Marrow Transplantation and in Age-Matched Healthy Volunteers

The trial investigates the efficacy of the adjuvanted H1N1 influenza vaccine Focetria(R) in immunocompromised adults who have undergone solid organ or bone marrow transplantation. It is expected that when administered twice the vaccine fulfills all serological efficacy criteria required for the elderly population age 60 years and older.

What is being measured

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

  1. The adjuvanted H1N1 influenza vaccine, when administered twice in transplanted patients, fulfils all serological efficacy criteria as required for the elderly population (aged 60 and older) according to the respective European guidance documents.

    Measured: 42 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The adjuvanted H1N1 influenza vaccine in transplanted patients, when administered twice, is at least as effective as the adjuvanted H1N1 influenza vaccine in the healthy volunteers after only one administration.

    Measured: 42 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Focetria (2x H1N1 vaccine with MF59 adjuvants) in people with Immunocompromised, run by HepNet Study House, German Liverfoundation at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2012. 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 Germany. 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 was stopped early (reason given: End of H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic). Results are not available in the source record.

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 adjuvanted H1N1 influenza vaccine, when administered twice in transplanted patients, fulfils all serological efficacy criteria as required for the elderly population (aged 60 and older) according to the respective European guidance documents. (time frame: 42 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 16 Apr 2012.
