About this study

Official title: A Post-marketing Study to Monitor the Safety of Beijing Tiantan Biological's Influenza Virus Vaccine Administered in Chinese Subjects Aged 60 Years or Older

To monitor the safety of Beijing Tiantan Biological's influenza vaccine in elderly through Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System of China.

The hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse events among influenza vaccines manufactured by independent companies.

Read the detailed description

In 2011 and 2012, Beijing Municipal Health Bureau launched the free influenza vaccination campaign among children aged 6-18 years old and the elderly aged 60 years old and above. Inactivated split-virion vaccines from Beijing Tiantan Biological Products Company were used for the elderly in the campaign.

All vaccine recipients provided written informed consent, containing information about the vaccine, possible adverse effects, and medical care.

Adverse events were collected through the National Immunization Information System's National Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) Surveillance System, which was established in 2005 on the basis of World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. According to the Guideline for the Identification of Adverse Reaction after Immunization issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health in 2008, Beijing CDC and local prefectural CDC must organize an expert panel to investigate adverse events and assess causality, using criteria based on Chinese Standard Procedures for Vaccination. The panels consist of physicians, epidemiologists, pharmacists, and other relevant experts. In general, expert panels investigate deaths, life-threatening illnesses, and permanent disabilities, and immunization-program managers or vaccination providers investigate common, minor adverse events. Adverse events are classified into one of five categories: vaccine reactions (common and minor to rare and more serious), program errors, coincidental illnesses, psychogenic reactions, and unclassifiable events.

At the time of vaccination, vaccinees were instructed to report any adverse event to physicians or vaccination providers. Adverse events that were fatal or that resulted in disability and clusters of events (i.e., notably high numbers of similar adverse events related to a certain vaccine) were required to be reported within 2 hours after their occurrence. The following adverse events were required to be reported within 2 days after their occurrence: anaphylaxis or other allergic reactions occurring within 24 hours after vaccination; fever (axillary temperature, >37.5°C), angioedema, or a local injection-site reaction (diameter, >2.5 cm) occurring within 5 days after vaccination; purpura, an Arthus reaction, febrile convulsion, seizure, or polyneuritis occurring within 15 days after vaccination; and the Guillain-Barré syndrome occurring within 3 months after vaccination. Other reactions that were common and minor (e.g., mild pain and fatigue) were not required to be reported.

What is being measured

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

  1. the rate of reported adverse events

    The rate of reported adverse events was calculated by dividing the number of vaccinees who reported having an event by the number of vaccine doses administered. The cumulative rate of reported adverse events was calculated by dividing the number of vaccinees who reported having an event by the number of vaccine doses administered from the beginning of the first week to the end of each week.

    Measured: 3 months after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza and Vaccination Adverse Event, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

the rate of reported adverse events (time frame: 3 months after vaccination). 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 24 Jul 2013.
