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 5 to 8 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Immunocompetent children who are at least 5 and no more than 8 years of age on the date of the first vaccination.
  • Parents able to give informed consent and child available for all study visits.
  • Family able to understand and comply with planned study procedures.
  • Family must have telephone accessibility.

Who cannot join

  • Previous receipt of influenza vaccine of any kind (shot or nasal spray).

  • Immunocompromising illnesses or current receipt of immunosuppressive agents
  • Allergy to eggs or egg protein, or to gentamicin (an antibiotic that is present in trace amounts in the vaccine).
  • Any acute or chronic condition that (in the opinion of the investigator) would render vaccination unsafe or would interfere with the evaluation of responses.

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of One Versus Two Doses of Influenza Vaccine in Children Aged 5-8 Years of Age Receiving Influenza Vaccine for the First Time

The purpose of the study was to find out if children 5 through 8 years of age who are getting influenza vaccine for the first time should get one or two doses.

Read the detailed description

Currently, two doses of influenza vaccine are recommended for children younger than 9 years receiving influenza vaccine for the first time. While the scientific support for 2 doses of vaccine in infants and toddlers is sound, the need for 2 doses of vaccine for adequate immunogenicity in older children is less certain. If the immunogenicity of a one-dose vaccine regimen is comparable to a two-dose regimen, then one dose would be preferable for reasons of safety, practicality and economics, and would reduce a major barrier to vaccination in this injection-adverse age group. This study compared the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of one versus two doses of influenza vaccine in children aged 5 to 8 years old receiving influenza vaccine for the first time. All children enrolled in the study received two doses of vaccine, and the immune response after one dose of vaccine was compared to the immune response after two doses of vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of antibody response after 1 dose of influenza vaccine with that after 2 doses of influenza vaccine.

    Measured: Blood samples were obtained at 3 time points, before dose 1 of vaccine, 4 weeks after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and 4 weeks after dose 2 of vaccine.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To describe and compare the safety profile after 1 and 2 doses of vaccine.

    Measured: Study diaries were kept from the day of vaccination daily for the 4 days after vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2 0.5 ml doses of '04-05 Trivalent Influenza Vaccine in people with Influenza, run by Kaiser Permanente 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 13 Oct 2017. 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?

Comparison of antibody response after 1 dose of influenza vaccine with that after 2 doses of influenza vaccine. (time frame: Blood samples were obtained at 3 time points, before dose 1 of vaccine, 4 weeks after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and 4 weeks after dose 2 of vaccine.). 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 NCT00158665, 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 13 Oct 2017.
