About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of Four Dosage Levels of Intramuscular Monovalent Inactivated Influenza A/H9N2 Vaccine With and Without MF59 Adjuvant in Ambulatory Adults

The purpose of this study is to compare the body's reactions and immune responses after receiving different strengths of a H9N2 influenza virus vaccine with and without an adjuvant given into the arm muscle. Study participants will include up to 96 healthy adults, ages 18-34. The 4 dosages of the experimental H9N2 vaccine to be tested in this study are the following: 3.75, 7.5, 15, and 30-mcg (with and without MF59 adjuvant). Participants will be vaccinated on Days 0 and 28. Participants will record any vaccine side effects in a diary for 7 days following each vaccination. Participants will return to the clinic on days 2 and 7 after vaccination. Blood samples will be collected 7 days following each vaccination. Serum and nasal wash specimens will be collected before each vaccination and 4 weeks after injections (0, 4, and 8 weeks). Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 8 months.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this study is to assess the safety of 4 different dosages of purified monovalent surface antigen (SA) influenza A/H9N2 virus vaccine with or without MF59 adjuvant and administered intramuscularly to ambulatory adults. The hypothesis is that all dosage levels of adjuvanted and nonadjuvanted vaccine will be well tolerated. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the safety of 4 dosage levels of monovalent surface antigen (SA) influenza A/H9N2 virus vaccine given with or without MF59 adjuvant. The primary endpoint is the frequency and severity of solicited local and systemic adverse events in each vaccine dosage level group. The secondary objective of this project is to determine the immunogenicity of 4 dosage levels of monovalent surface antigen (SA) influenza A/H9N2 virus vaccine given with or without MF59 adjuvant. The secondary endpoints include the following: the proportions of subjects in each vaccine dosage group that achieve a serum HAI titer of at least 1:32 one month after the second vaccination; the geometric mean titer (GMT) of serum HAI antibody against the influenza A/H9N2 virus one month after the second vaccination; the rates of significant increases in titer between pre- and post-immunization serum samples (defined as seroconversion-i.e., increase in titer from <1:4 pre-immunization to at least 1:8 after vaccination, or 4-fold or greater increase in titer between pre- and post-immunization samples) 28 days after each vaccination (days 28 and 56); and the proportion of subjects with a 4-fold or greater increase in percent HA-specific antibody in nasal wash specimens for each vaccine group. The study will be a double-blind evaluation of 4 dosage levels of study vaccine. The 4 dosage levels to be tested are 3.75-, 7.5-, 15-, and 30-mcg of HA of the vaccine strain with and without MF59 adjuvant. Because all dosage levels are lower than the total hemagglutinin content of the FLUAD® vaccine used in Europe, subjects will be enrolled into all dosage and adjuvant groups concurrently using a randomized, double-blind study design. Ninety-six persons 18-34 years of age will be enrolled. A single lot of monovalent inactivated SA influenza A/H9N2 vaccine will be used throughout the trial. All injections will be administered in a 0.5-mL volume into the deltoid muscle. Screening and safety laboratory examinations will be assessed before the first dose and 7 days after each vaccination. Assessments for reactogenicity will be done for at least 20 minutes after each vaccination, in the clinic 2 and 7 days after each inoculation, via diary card for seven days after each vaccination, and via phone or other contact at 7 months after the first vaccination for any serious adverse events during the entire study period. Serum and nasal wash samples collected on days 0, 28, and 56 will be used to measure immunogenicity of the vaccine preparation. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 8 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Influenza A/H9N2 vaccine and MF59 adjuvant in people with Influenza, 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

The frequency and severity of solicited local and systemic adverse events in each vaccine dosage level group. (time frame: Duration of study.). 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 NCT00133471, 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 27 Aug 2010.
