About this study

Official title: The Immunogenicity and Safety of the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine, Formulation 2013-2014, in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Not on Dialysis

In recent years, several studies revealed that the current influenza vaccine strategy might be of minimal vaccine effectiveness and had a smaller effect on reducing morbidity and mortality in the end-stage renal disease population than previously thought. Thus, this also raised the question about the effectiveness of administration of influenza vaccination in chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effectiveness of seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine, formulation 2013-2014, in patients with different stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antibody response to each of the three influenza vaccine strains included in the licensed seasonal flu vaccine, as measured by the method of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and ELISA-based microneutralization (microNT-ELISA) assays. All participants will be divided into 3 groups: participants refused to receive vaccination, those receive either one (week 0) or one more booster vaccination (week 0 and week 4). The investigators will collect serum of participants at the 5th weeks, 9th weeks, and 21th week post vaccination and evaluate the difference of immune response in these 3 groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Seasonal influenza vaccine (AdimFlu-S)Biological

    Also called AdimFlu-S, manufactured by Adimmune company.

    Participants receiving 0, 1 and 2 dose of AdimFlu-S during the study period.(a) No vaccination: no any influenza vaccination during the study period.(b) One dose of AdimFlu-S group: patient will receive one dose of Seasonal influenza vaccine (AdimFlu-S) at the initiation of the study.(c)Two doses of AdimFlu-S group: patients will receive one dose of Seasonal influenza vaccine (AdimFlu-S) at week 0 and 4 weeks after the initiation of the study.

The group receiving no influenza vaccineNo interventionParticipants in this group will not receive any influenza vaccine (negative control group).
One dose of AdimFlu-S groupExperimentalParticipants in this group will receive one dose of the seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (one dose of AdimFlu-S group), formulation 2013-2014, at the initiation of the study. Each administered dose contain 15 ug virus antigen for each virus strain.
Receives: Biological: Seasonal influenza vaccine (AdimFlu-S)
Two dose of AdimFlu-S groupExperimentalParticipants in this group (Two dose of AdimFlu-S group)will receive the seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine, formulation 2013-2014, at the week 0 and 4 weeks after the initiation of the study. Each administered dose contain 15 ug virus antigen for each virus strain.

What is being measured

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

  1. The dynamic change of seroprotection rate related to administration of influenza virus vaccine strains (2013-2014 season) of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.

    The primary endpoint will be the seroprotection rate which is defined as the proportion of subjects with HI titer ≥ 1:40. MicroNT-ELISA assay might also be used to evaluate the seroprotection post vaccination, which will be defined as micro-NT titer ≥1: 40 or ≥ 1:160 .

    Measured: The seroprotection rate will be assessed at 4, 8, 20 weeks after the initiation of the study.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The safety of the influenza vaccination in patients with chronic kidney disease.

    Patients who received influenza vaccination would be asked to record any local or systemic side effect during the first week after vaccination. Besides, the investigators would also monitor any possible adverse effect during the whole study period.

    Measured: the safety issue related to the vaccination will be assessed in each visit during the whole study period (20 weeks).

  2. The dynamic change of seroconversion rate related to administration of influenza virus vaccine strains (2013-2014 season) of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.

    The seroconversion is defined as the HI titer of the post-vaccination serum is at least 1:40 for those who had a negative pre-vaccination HI serum titer or a four-fold or greater increase in HI titers in subjects who had a positive pre-vaccination HAI serum titer. The seropositive is defined as the HI titer ≥ 1:10, and the seronegative is defined as HI titer < 1:10.

    Measured: The seroconversion rate will be assessed at 4, 8, 20 weeks after the initiation of the study.

  3. The dynamic change of seroresponse rate related to administration of influenza virus vaccine strains (2013-2014 season) of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.

    The seroresponse is defined as HI or micro-NT titer of the post-vaccination serum is at least 4-fold increase of the HI or micro-NT titer after vaccination.

    Measured: The seroresponse rate will be assessed at 4, 8, 20 weeks after the initiation of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Seasonal influenza vaccine (AdimFlu-S) in people with Immunogenicity and Adverse Drug Effect of Vaccines Influenza and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2014. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yu-Tzu Chang, MD, MSc (886-2353535 ext. 4930, kangxiemperor@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The dynamic change of seroprotection rate related to administration of influenza virus vaccine strains (2013-2014 season) of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation. (time frame: The seroprotection rate will be assessed at 4, 8, 20 weeks after the initiation of the study.). 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 Apr 2014.
