About this study

Official title: Phase II Safety and Immunogenicity of Live Attenuated Influenza H5 Candidate Vaccine Strain A/17/Turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) in Healthy Thai Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate immune response and safety of live attenuated influenza H5 vaccine candidate strain A/17/turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) manufactured by GPO, Thailand in healthy Thais.

Read the detailed description

It is a double blind randomized study using 7.5-8.5 log EID50 dose which is the same dose as being tested in phase I.

150 participants (100 vaccinees and 50 placebos) age 18-49 years old will be enrolled. All will be separated in 4 batches; Batch 1: 36 participants (24 vaccinees and 12 placebos) Batch 2: 38 participants (25 vaccinees and 13 placebos) Batch 3: 38 participants (25 vaccinees and 13 placebos) Batch 4: 38 participants (26 vaccinees and 12 placebos)

Each batch will be admitted in the isolation ward for 5 days after each immunization mainly for safety assessment. Two doses of live attenuated influenza H5 vaccine candidate strain A/17/turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) will be given by intranasal route 28 days apart. Total follow up is 60 day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Avian Flu Vaccine in people with Influenza Due to Influenza A Virus Subtype H5N2, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 7 inclusion and 17 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 31 Jan 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Phase II safety and immunogenicity of live attenuated influenza H5 candidate vaccine strain A/17/turkey/Turkey/05/133 (H5N2) in healthy Thai volunteers (time frame: within 60 days after screening). 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 NCT01841918, 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 31 Jan 2018.
