About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Controlled Trial to Compare the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Influenza Virus Vaccine, Trivalent, Type A&B, Live, Cold-Adapted (CAIV-T) With Influenza Virus Vaccine, Trivalent, Inactivated (TIV) in Children With Asthma Aged 6 Years to 17 Years

  • Trial to assess asthma exacerbation through to the end of the study; and to demonstrate that the efficacy over one season against culture-confirmed influenza-illness; and finally to assess the safety and tolerability of CAIV-T in children with asthma.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CAIV-T and TIVBiological

What is being measured

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

  1. To demostrate that the efficacy over one influenza season against culture-confirmed influenza illness caused by community-acquired subtypes antifenically similar to those contained in the vaccine

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To demonstrate that the efficacy over one season of a single dose of CAIV-T was not inferior to that of one dose of TIV against culture-confirmed influenza-illness of any subtype

  2. To compare the efficacy over a defined surveillance period against asthma exacerbations, asthma medication, clinical visits, hospitalizations, days off school (pharma-ecomonic measures) associated with influenza-like illness

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CAIV-T and TIV in people with Asthma, run by MedImmune LLC at 2 sites in Belgium.

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 16 inclusion and 12 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 3 Oct 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To demostrate that the efficacy over one influenza season against culture-confirmed influenza illness caused by community-acquired subtypes antifenically similar to those contained in the vaccine. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 3 Oct 2006.
