FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENTBiological
Intramuscular injection, 1 dose each in FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT Adults and FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT Elderly Groups
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT Adult Group | Experimental | Subjects 18-60 years of age received 1 dose of FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENT vaccine at Day 0. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid of the non-dominant arm. Receives: Biological: FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENT |
| FLULAVAL QUADRIVALENT Elderly Group | Experimental | Subjects above 60 years of age received 1 dose of FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENT vaccine at Day 0. The vaccine was administered intramuscularly in the deltoid of the non-dominant arm. Receives: Biological: FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENT |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Humoral Immune Response in Terms of Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies Against Each of the 4 Vaccine Influenza Strains.
Antibody titres were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu B/Florida/4/06 (Yamagata), FluB/Bri/60/08 (Victoria), Flu A/CAL/7/09 (H1N1) and Flu A/Victoria/210/09 (H3N2) antigens.
Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21
Number of Subjects Who Were Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against Each of the 4 Vaccine Influenza Strains.
A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer greater than or equal to 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection. The vaccine strains assessed were Yamagata, Victoria, H1N1 and H3N2 antigens.
Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21
Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies Against Each of the 4 Vaccine Influenza Strains.
A seroconverted subject was defined as a subject who had either a pre-vaccination titer less than (<) 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The vaccine strains assessed were Yamagata, Victoria, H1N1 and H3N2 antigens.
Measured: At Day 21
HI Antibody Seroconversion Factors (SCFs) Against Each of the 4 Vaccine Influenza Strains.
SCFs were defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to Day 0. The vaccine strains assessed were Yamagata, Victoria, H1N1 and H3N2 antigens.
Measured: At Day 21
Secondary outcomes (4)
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.
Solicited local symptoms assessed were pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as any solicited local symptom reported irrespective of intensity. Grade 3 pain was defined as pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 redness and swelling were defined as redness/swelling greater than 100 millimeters (mm). i.e. >100mm.
Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.
Solicited general symptoms assessed were chest tightness, chills, cough, fatigue, headache, joint pain at other location, muscle pain, red eyes, sore throat, swelling of the face and fever [oral temperature ≥ 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination. Related = symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = oral temperature above 39.0°C
Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period
Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).
An unsolicited AE was defined as any AE (i.e. any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.
Measured: During the 21-day (Days 0-20) post-vaccination period.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
A serious adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Measured: During the entire study period (Day 0 - Day 20 after vaccination).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing FLULAVAL® QUADRIVALENT in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Canada.
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 8 inclusion and 19 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 7 Sep 2018. 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 Canada. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Nov 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 Immune Response in Terms of Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibodies Against Each of the 4 Vaccine Influenza Strains. (time frame: At Day 0 and Day 21). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01440387, 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 7 Sep 2018.
