About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine Administered Via the Intramuscular Route in Child/Adolescent and Adult Subjects

The aim of the study is to assess the safety profile of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) and to demonstrate that 3 different industrial lots of QIV induce an equivalent immune response in children/adolescents (9 to 17 years of age) and adults (18 to 60 years of age).

Primary Objective:

Read more
  • To describe the safety profile (injection site reactions and systemic events) of each vaccine during the 21 days following vaccination, and serious adverse events (including adverse events of special interest) throughout the study in all adult and child/adolescent participants.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To demonstrate that the 3 different industrial lots of quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) induce an equivalent immune response at 21 days post-vaccination in both age groups (lot consistency)
  • To describe the compliance of the immunogenicity of QIV to the European Medicines Agency Note for Guidance (NfG) (CPMP/BWP/214/96) in each age group.
Read the detailed description

All participants will receive a single injection of their assigned vaccine during Visit 1. They will be followed up for safety and immunogenicity through Day 21 post-vaccination (Visit 2), and also monitored for safety for up to 6 months post-vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of participants reporting solicited injection site reactions and solicited systemic reactions during the trial

    Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering

    Measured: Day 0 to 7 post-vaccination

  2. Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited systemic reactions including serious adverse events (SAE) throughout the trial.

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose (including overdose): Results in death; Is life-threatening; Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Results in persistent or significant disability / incapacity; Is a congenital anomaly / birth defect; Is an important medical event.

    Measured: Day 0 up to six months post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of participants with seroprotection and seroconversion post vaccination with either the investigational QIV, or TIV or the licensed 2011-2012 TIV

    Immunogenicity assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for each vaccine strain.

    Seroprotection defined as a post-vaccination titer of ≥ 40 (1/dil); Seroconversion defined for participants with a pre-vaccination titer < 10 (1/dil) and a post-vaccination titer of ≥ 40 (1/dil).

    Measured: Day 21 post-vaccination

  2. Level of anti-hemagglutinin antibody titers for each of the 4 strains for each lot of the investigational QIV vaccine.

    Measured: 21 Days post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (split virion, inactivated) and 2011 to 2012 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 14 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 29 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Philippines, Australia. 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?

Percentage of participants reporting solicited injection site reactions and solicited systemic reactions during the trial (time frame: Day 0 to 7 post-vaccination). The study lists 2 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 NCT01481454, 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 29 Mar 2013.
