About this study

Official title: Persistence of Influenza Vaccine-induced Antibody in Lung Transplant Patients and Healthy Individuals Beyond the Season

This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals.

This study is designed to investigate influenza vaccine-induced antibodies in lung transplant patients beyond the season of vaccination.

Read the detailed description

Every year influenza infection causes significant morbidity and mortality in the general population making it a serious public health concern. Among those at highest risk for complications from infection are the immunocompromised. Effective influenza immunization that confers protection throughout the season is critical for lung transplant recipients because in addition to aggressive immunosuppressive therapy, infection directly affects the transplanted organ. Studies of influenza vaccine response rates in lung transplant patients show generally lower antibody concentrations, but acceptable influenza vaccine response rates compared with healthy individuals. However, little is known about the persistence of influenza vaccine-induced antibody concentration in either healthy or immunosuppressed populations.

Influenza antibody concentrations persist at seroprotective levels (defined as antibody concentrations at least 40 hemagglutination units) up to a year post vaccination. However, the investigators could find no information regarding persistence beyond one year.

It is hypothesized that the high rates of persisting influenza vaccine antibody in immunosuppressed lung transplant individuals would match the rates of persisting vaccine-antibody in healthy individuals.

Influenza antibody concentrations against viruses no longer included in the vaccine were measured in serum by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) annually (individual participants followed for 3 years). Samples were collected at 2-4 weeks post-vaccination. Seroprotection was defined as a titer of ≥ 1:40 and was compared between groups over the measured term using Fisher's exact tests.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antibody response to influenza vaccine

    Influenza antibody concentrations against viruses no longer included in the vaccine were measured in serum by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) annually following vaccination of lung transplant participants and healthy controls.

    Measured: season 1 (up to 1 year on study)

  2. Antibody response to influenza vaccine

    Influenza antibody concentrations against viruses no longer included in the vaccine were measured in serum by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) annually following vaccination of lung transplant participants and healthy controls.

    Measured: season 2 (up to 2 years on study)

  3. Antibody response to influenza vaccine

    Influenza antibody concentrations against viruses no longer included in the vaccine were measured in serum by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) annually following vaccination of lung transplant participants and healthy controls.

    Measured: season 2 (up to 2.5 years on study)

  4. Antibody response to influenza vaccine

    Influenza antibody concentrations against viruses no longer included in the vaccine were measured in serum by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA) annually following vaccination of lung transplant participants and healthy controls.

    Measured: season 3 (up to 3 years on study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 23 Oct 2020. 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.

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?

Antibody response to influenza vaccine (time frame: season 1 (up to 1 year on study)). The study lists 4 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 NCT04530786, 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 23 Oct 2020.
