  • Aged equal to or greater than 9 years of age and weigh at least 50 pounds
  • The subject must be in good health, as determined by: medical history; and targeted physical examination, when necessary, based on medical history. Stable medical or psychiatric condition is defined as: no recent increase in prescription medication, dose, or frequency of medication in the last 3 months and health outcomes of the specific disease are considered to be within acceptable limits in the last 6 months
  • The subject is able to understand and comply with the planned study procedures, including being available for all study visits

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effects of Age, Prior Exposure, and Previous Vaccination on the B Cell Response to Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Adults and Children

The study will be designed as a prospective surveillance of the immune response to seasonal influenza vaccination in 240 healthy children and adults ages 9 and over. Study duration will be 5 years, with a participant duration of 6 months. Subjects will receive a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine, at a dose of not less than 15 ug of hemagglutinin (HA), by intramuscular injection in open label fashion on day 0. Blood draws will occur at baseline, day 7, 28 and 90. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between first influenza A virus exposure (inferred by age), vaccine history, and baseline serum antibody response to seasonal influenza vaccine in healthy adults and children.

The study will be designed as a prospective surveillance of the immune response to seasonal influenza vaccination in 240 healthy children and adults ages 9 and over. Study duration will be 5 years, with a participant duration of 6 months. Subjects will receive a quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine, at a dose of not less than 15 ug of hemagglutinin (HA), by intramuscular injection in open label fashion on day 0. Blood draws will occur at baseline, day 7, 28 and 90. The primary hypothesis being tested in this study is that there will be differences in the specificity and magnitude of the HA-specific B cell response depending on the age, previous vaccine history and baseline B cell reactivity. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between first influenza A virus exposure (inferred by age), vaccine history, and baseline serum antibody response to seasonal influenza vaccine in healthy adults and children. The secondary objective is to evaluate factors related to failure of vaccine to provide protection against symptomatic influenza and the immune response to infection in vaccinated individuals by prospective surveillance of the vaccine cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Influenza Virus Quadrivalent Inactivated Vaccine in people with Influenza and Influenza Immunisation, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 2 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 5 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 24 May 2021). 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?

Magnitude of the Serum Antibody Response by Hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) (time frame: Through Day 28). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Aug 2026.
