What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects (3 to <9 Years of Age) Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    Safety and tolerability of H3N2 monovalent vaccine was assessed in terms of the number of subjects (3 to <9 years of age) reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events and other adverse events after each vaccination.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7 after each vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects (9 to <18 Years of Age) Reporting Solicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    Safety and tolerability of H3N2 monovalent vaccine was assessed in terms of the number of subjects (9 to <18 years of age) reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events and other adverse events after each vaccination.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7 after each vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects (18 to < 65 Years) Reporting Solicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    Safety and tolerability of H3N2 monovalent vaccine was assessed in terms of the number of subjects (18 to < 65 years of age) reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events and other adverse events after each vaccination.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7 after each vaccination

  4. Number of Subjects (≥ 65 Years) Reporting Solicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    Safety and tolerability of H3N2 monovalent vaccine was assessed in terms of the number of subjects (≥ 65 years of age) reporting solicited local and systemic adverse events and other adverse events after each vaccination.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 7 after each vaccination

  5. Number of Subjects (3 to ≥ 65 Years of Age) Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    The number of subjects reporting any unsolicited adverse events (AEs) from day 1 through day 21 after last vaccination within each vaccine group are reported.

    The number of subjects reporting any serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to withdrawal from the study, medically attended AEs, AE of special interest (AESI), new onset chronic disease (NOCDs) from day 1 through day 366, after receiving with H3N2 monovalent vaccine are reported.

    Measured: Day 1 through Day 366

    The percentages of subjects (3 to ≥ 65 years of age) achieving seroconversion or significant increase in HI antibody titers against H3N2 homologous strain, three weeks after receiving first (Day 22) and second (Day 43) vaccination are reported.

    Seroconversion is defined as HI titer ≥1:40 for subjects negative at baseline (HI titer <1:10); or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects positive at baseline (HI titer ≥1:10) on Day 22 and Day 43.

    The percentage of subjects achieving seroconversion or significant increase for HI antibody titers at three weeks after receiving first (Day 22) and second (Day 43) vaccination is reported, across age groups of 3 to ≥61 years.

    Seroconversion is defined as HI titer ≥1:40 for subjects negative at baseline (HI titer <1:10); or a minimum 4-fold increase in HI titer for subjects positive at baseline (HI titer ≥1:10) on Day 22 and Day 43.

    Measured: Day 22, Day 43 post vaccination

  5. Percentages of Subjects (3 to ≥ 61 Years of Age) Achieving HI Titers ≥1:40 Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

    The percentages of subjects achieving HI titers ≥1:40 against H3N2 homologous strain at three weeks after receiving first (day 22) and second (day 43) vaccination, is reported across age groups of 3 to ≥ 61 years.

    Measured: Day 1, Day 22, Day 43 post vaccination

  6. GMR in Subjects (3 to ≥ 61 Years of Age) of Post-vaccination Versus Pre-vaccination HI Antibody Titers Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Swine Influenza in people with Prophylaxis of A/H3N2v Influenza, run by Novartis Vaccines at 11 sites in United States.

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 31 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 17 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 17 Feb 2016). 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?

Number of Subjects (3 to <9 Years of Age) Reporting Solicited Adverse Events (AEs) Following Vaccination With H3N2 Monovalent Vaccine. (time frame: Day 1 through Day 7 after each vaccination). The study lists 7 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 NCT01855945, 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 17 Feb 2016.
