About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Uncontrolled, Open Label Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Influenza Vaccine (Surface Antigen, Inactivated) Ph.Eur, Formulation 2010/2011, When Administered to Adult and Elderly Subjects

Influenza poses a significant threat to individual and public health, and influenza vaccination with a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine is widely recommended to children, adults at risks and elderly. Due to antigenic changes of influenza viruses, the virus strains used in interpandemic influenza vaccines are adjusted every year according to WHO (World Health Organization) and CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) recommendations. Following a change in the vaccine antigen composition recommendation from the previous season, immunogenicity and tolerability of the newly composed vaccines are subject of evaluation in an annual clinical trial in non-elderly adult and elderly subjects according to the guidelines set by EMEA (CPMP/BWP/214/96).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Influenza Vaccine (Surface Antigen, Inactivated) Ph.Eur, Formulation 2010/2011 in people with Seasonal Influenza, run by Novartis Vaccines 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 32 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 10 Mar 2021. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Antibody response to each influenza vaccine antigen as measured by hemagglutination inhibition at 21 days post immunization (time frame: 22 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 10 Mar 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
