About this study

Official title: Open Label Parallel Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Three Regimens of the Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (Inactivated and Fragmented) in Kidney Transplant Recipients

This will be an open label, parallel, randomized clinical trial that will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the trivalent influenza vaccine (inactivated and fragmented) produced by Instituto Butantan among adult kidney transplant recipients, when administered in three vaccination regimens: i) the recommended dose; ii) a single double dose; iii) two doses administered with a 21 day interval.

The randomization ratio among the three groups of kidney transplant recipients will be 1:1, and 60 participants will be included in each group. After vaccination all participants will be followed for 26 weeks.

In addition, 15 healthy adults will be included as a control group, and will receive the recommended dose.

The study hypothesis is that a different vaccination regimen can improve the immune response of kidney transplant recipients after vaccination with the trivalent influenza vaccine (inactivated and fragmented).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Seroconversion.

    Seroconversion will be defined as HI titers ≥1:40 post-vaccination among subjects with pre-vaccination HI titers <1:10, or as a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination HI titers among subjects with pre -vaccination HI titers ≥ 1:10.

    Measured: 21 days (+7 days) after vaccination.

  2. Percentage of Seroprotection

    Seroprotection will be defined as post-vaccinations HI titers ≥1:40.

    Measured: 21 days (+7 days) after vaccination.

  3. Increase in the geometric mean titers of HI post-vaccination.

    Measured: 21 days (+7 days) after vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Solicited and unsolicited local and systemic adverse reactions.

    Measured: Until day 3 post-vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Trivalent influenza vaccine (inactivated and fragmented). in people with Human Influenza, run by Butantan Institute at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 27 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 21 Jul 2015. 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 Brazil. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Seroconversion. (time frame: 21 days (+7 days) after vaccination.). The study lists 3 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 NCT02104869, 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 21 Jul 2015.
