About this study

Official title: FeverText: Assessing Fever Rates After Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination During the 2011-12 Influenza Season Using Text Messaging

In this study, the investigators will prospectively assess fever rates and other associated vaccine adverse events in 6-23 month old patients during days 0-7 after administration of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) concomitantly compared to those who receive trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administered non-concomitantly. The investigators hypothesize that fever rates will be significantly higher during the 0-1 days after vaccination when inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) are given concomitantly than when TIV or PCV13 is administered non-concomitantly.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jul 2014). 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?

Fever >= 100.4 (time frame: 8 days). 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 NCT01467934, 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.
