About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Stratified, Observer-Blind Clinical Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of an MF59-Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Subunit Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Older Adults

This Phase 2, randomized, observer-blind, active controlled clinical study is evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational MF59-Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Subunit Inactivated Influenza Vaccine. Approximately 480 subjects are to be randomized into 1 of 4 possible treatment groups (investigational Influenza Vaccine or licensed Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine comparators) at 120 participants per group. Every participant will receive an influenza vaccine injection on Day 1 and will be followed up for approximately 6 months following injection. The primary immunogenicity analysis is based on Day 29 serum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Investigational aIIV4c, IIV4c and aIIV4 in people with Influenza and Human, run by Seqirus at 21 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 4 inclusion and 17 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 17 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 17 Apr 2024). 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?

Immunogenicity Endpoint: Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) Against the A/H1N1, B/Victoria and B/Yamagata Vaccine Strains by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Assay and Against A/H3N2 Strain Using Microneutralization Assay Using Cell-derived Target Viruses (time frame: 28 days post-vaccination). 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 NCT04576702, 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 17 Apr 2024.
