About this study

Official title: Effect of Influenza Vaccination or Infection on the Development of Protective Immunity in Children

This study is a prospective surveillance of the immune response to seasonal vaccination in healthy children. The study will enroll a total of approximately 220 subjects. 140 children will be vaccinated with inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and will be divided into 4 age cohorts: 20 children between 6-12 months of age, 60 children greater than 12 months of age and born after 2009, 30 children with a birth date between 2006 and 2009, and 30 children with a birth date between 2003 and 2006. 80 children presenting with natural influenza infection prior to receipt of influenza vaccination also will be divided into 4 age cohorts: 20 children between 3-12 months of age, 20 children greater than 12 months of age with a birth date after 2009, 20 children with a birth date between 2006 and 2009, and 20 children with a birth date between 2003 and 2006. Influenza vaccines will be administered using age-appropriate guidelines in all years of the study: Fluzone 0.25 mL administered intramuscularly to children between 6 and 35 months of age and 0.5 mL to children 36 months of age and older. Subjects will be seen at one domestic site and their participation duration is 2 influenza seasons plus 1 optional season. The primary hypothesis being tested in this study is that there will be differences in the specificity, magnitude and functionality of CD4 T cell and B cell reactivity in a cohort of children depending on early childhood exposures. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between influenza virus exposure, infection and vaccine history, and CD4 T cell reactivity in a cohort of children with well documented influenza exposures.

What participants receive

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

  • Influenza Virus Quadrivalent Inactivated VaccineBiological

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 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 12 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 18 Mar 2022. 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 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 18 Mar 2022). 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?

Frequency of CD4 T Cells With a Given Functional Potential (time frame: Year 2 (Visit 5)). 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 18 Mar 2022.
