Fluarix Immunogenicity and Safety Trial
A Phase 3 study testing Fluarix in people with Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 4 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to test the immune response caused by investigational Fluarix vaccine in healthy people aged between 18-64 years in the U.S.A. Up to 1050 volunteers at 4 centers will receive Fluarix or Placebo (saline), and their responses will then be compared. Read more about this study

Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 64 years
- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Adult
Who may be able to join
- A male or female age between18-64 years at the time of the vaccination.
- Subjects who the investigator believes can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g., return for follow-up visit and completion of the diary cards) should be enrolled in the study.
- Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
- Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
- Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. either surgically sterilized or one year post-menopausal. If subject is of childbearing potential, she must be abstinent or have used adequate contraceptive precautions (e.g. intrauterine contraceptive device; oral contraceptives or other equivalent hormonal contraception, e.g. progestogen-only implantable, cutaneous hormonal patch or injectable contraceptives, diaphragm or condom in combination with contraceptive jelly, cream or foam) for 30 days prior to vaccination. She must also have a negative pregnancy test at study entry and must agree to continue such precautions for two months after completion of vaccination.
Who cannot join
- Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the administration of the study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
- Has received any other licensed vaccines within 2 weeks (for inactivated vaccines) or 4 weeks (for live vaccines) prior to enrollment in this study.
- Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the administration of the study vaccine. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, >= 0.5 mg/kg/day.)
- Any medically diagnosed or suspected immunodeficient condition based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the administration of the study vaccine or during the study.

About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo Controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of GSK Bio Influenza Vaccine (Fluarix) Administered Intramuscularly in Healthy Adults
The purpose of this study is to test the immune response caused by investigational Fluarix vaccine in healthy people aged between 18-64 years in the U.S.A. Up to 1050 volunteers at 4 centers will receive Fluarix or Placebo (saline), and their responses will then be compared. Subjects will be placed by age into 2 groups (18 to 49 years old and 50 to 64 years old), then randomly assigned to receive a dose of Fluarix or Placebo by injection into a muscle. There will be 2 phases in this study: (1) the active study phase (2 visits) for all subjects; and (2) the cross-over phase, only for subjects enrolled in the placebo group who accept to receive Fluarix. Blood samples will be obtained in order to measure immune response to the vaccine. On the day of vaccination, volunteers will receive a diary card to record information on symptoms experienced during the next 3 days. Subject participation in either group will be up to 2 months.
Read the detailed description
This study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled Phase III study to evaluate the immunogenicity and the safety of GSK Bio influenza vaccine (Fluarix) administered intramuscularly in healthy adults aged 18 to 64 years. Vaccination is currently the most effective means of controlling influenza and preventing its complications and mortality in persons at risk. Following vaccination, seroprotective antibody titers are achieved in a high proportion of vaccinated subjects. GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK Bio) has been marketing an inactivated influenza split vaccine (Fluarix®) since 1992. More than 126 million doses have been distributed and the vaccine is registered in 78 countries. It has been well tolerated and has proven to be highly immunogenic when injected by the intramuscular route.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Fluarix in people with Influenza, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 4 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 20 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 27 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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.
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 27 Aug 2010.
