What is being measured

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

  1. Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers, Against Each of the Vaccine Influenza Virus Strains.

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine influenza strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 (H1N1), Flu A/Victoria/361/11 (H3N2) and Flu B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/09 (Yamagata) antigens.

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  2. Number of Subjects Seroprotected for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with serum HI titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection in adults. The influenza vaccine strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 (H1N1), Flu A/Victoria/361/11 (H3N2) and Flu B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/09 (Yamagata) antigens.

    Measured: At Day 0 and Day 21

  3. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies Against Each of the Three 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 influenza strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 (H1N1), Flu A/Victoria/361/11 (H3N2) and Flu B/Hubei-Wujiagang/158/09 (Yamagata) antigens.

    Measured: At Day 21

  4. Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for HI Antibody Titer Against Each of the Three Vaccine Influenza Strains.

    MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination (Day 21) compared to pre-vaccination (Day 0).

    Measured: At Day 21

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms.

    Solicited local symptoms assessed were ecchymosis, induration, pain, redness and swelling. Any was defined as occurrence of any specified solicited local symptoms reported irrespective of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain was defined as considerable pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 ecchymosis, induration, redness and swelling were defined as ecchymosis, induration, redness and swelling above 100 millimeters (mm).

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.

    Solicited general symptoms assessed were arthralgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, myalgia, shivering, sweating and fever [oral temperature ≥38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Gastrointestinal symptoms included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. Any =occurrence of any specified solicited general symptoms reported irrespective of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination, Any fever = oral temperature ≥38.0 degrees Celsius (°C). Grade 3 symptoms = symptoms that prevented normal activities. Grade 3 fever = oral temperature ≥39.0°C. Related = symptoms considered by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs).

    Unsolicited AE covers any AE 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.

  4. Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed included medical occurrences 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 Fluviral® 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 9 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 14 Oct 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?

Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers, Against Each of the Vaccine Influenza Virus 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?
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.
