  • Ages 18 to 49 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female age 18 to 49 years, inclusive, on the day of randomization (reached his or her 18th year birthday but not yet reached his or her 50th year birthday) at the time of the dose of study product
  • Written informed consent and a locally required authorization (eg, HIPAA in the USA, ) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of One Dose of Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) Compared to One Dose of Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (IIV) in Adults 18-49 Years of Age

This randomized, open-label, single-site study at Saint Louis University will enroll approximately 40 subjects who are healthy, 18 to 49 years old. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either licensed trivalent FluMist containing (2010-2011 season appropriate), or licensed inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine (2010-2011 season appropriate) so that approximately 20 subjects will be randomized to receive LAIV, and 20 will receive IIV.

Read the detailed description

This Phase IV, randomized, open-label, single-site study at Saint Louis University will enroll approximately 40 subjects who are healthy, 18 to 49 years old. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive either licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) (2010-2011 season appropriate) or licensed live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) (2010-2011 season appropriate) so that approximately 20 subjects will be randomized to receive IIV, and 20 will receive LAIV. Subjects will receive 1 dose of IIV or LAIV in the Center for Vaccine Development on Day 0 and will return to the site on days 7 and 45 to assess immunogenicity. Subjects will be asked to report any serious adverse events. Blood samples and nasal washes for assessment of immune responses will be obtained at three time points: on Day 0 prior to dosing with IIV or LAIV, and at visits conducted 7 and 45-51 days post vaccination. The study will be conducted just prior to and during the influenza season. Subjects will receive a single dose of IIV or LAIV administered as instructed per package insert. Two contacts will be made with subjects, either telephone calls or e-mail, to collect serious adverse events only, one at Days 28-35, and one at approximately Days 180-190 to conclude the subject's participation. The duration of each subject's participation is approximately 6 months. The primary immune studies conducted with collected samples will include serum hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) antibody titers, nasal wash influenza-specific secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) responses, peripheral blood interferon gamma (IFN-γ) ELISPOT assays and peripheral blood carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) dilution/intracellular cytokine staining flow cytometric assays. In addition, frozen serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) samples will be used in exploratory assays to determine the kinetics and nature of innate responses and the detailed molecular signatures of memory T cells induced by IIV and LAIV vaccinations. Investigators will be performing genome-wide expression studies, but will not perform DNA sequencing and will not send anything other than coded samples outside of Saint Louis University.

    Measured: Day 0, Day 7, and Day 45

  4. Secretory Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Responses

    Influenza virus strain-specific nasal wash secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) titers by ELISA was measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Inactivated Influenza Vaccine and Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza, run by St. Louis University.

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 16 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 6 Mar 2019. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2019). 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?

Serum Antibody Responses (time frame: Day 0, Day 7, and Day 45). The study lists 5 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 NCT03101462, 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 6 Mar 2019.
