Who may be able to join

  • All adults 18 years and older.

  • Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
  • If the subject is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. either surgically sterilized or one year post-menopausal; or, if of childbearing potential, she must be abstinent or have used adequate contraceptive precautions .

Who cannot join

  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) 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.

  • History of allergy or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine(s) including egg, chicken protein, gelatine, formaldehyde, gentamicin sulphate, thimerosal or sodium deoxycholate.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrollment. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. Oral temperature <37.5°C (99.5°F) / Axillary temperature <37.5°C (99.5°F)).

About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Observer-blind, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Fluarix™ (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) Compared With Fluzone® (Aventis Pasteur) Administered Intramuscularly in Adults 18 Years and Older in the U.S.

The purpose of this study is to compare two licensed influenza vaccines (Fluzone and Fluarix) in terms of the immune response elicited and the safety/ any symptoms that may occur for up to six months after vaccination.

Read the detailed description
  • Experimental design: multi-center, randomized (1:1), observer-blind, active-controlled study in 2 parallel groups with approximately:
  • Study vaccine: full dose of Fluarix by IM administration.
  • Control vaccine: full dose of Fluzone by IM administration.
  • Two scheduled visits per subject at days 0 (visit 1) and 21(visit 2) with blood sample collected at each visit to evaluate the immune response. There will be a final contact with each subject 6 months after vaccination for safety follow up and study conclusion.
  • Vaccination schedule: one IM injection at day 0.
  • Type of study: Self contained.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunological non-inferiority (GMT & seroconversion rates) of Fluarix vs Fluzone 21 days post-vaccination in adults (18 yrs)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Non-inferiority of Fluarix vs Fluzone 21 days post-vacc in elderly (>65 yrs)

  2. Immuno comparison of Fluarix vs Fluzone post-vacc in immunologically -competent, -compromised, overall, stratified by age

  3. Safety comparison (sol local, general & unsol AEs, SAEs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Influenza in people with Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 15 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 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 18 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Immunological non-inferiority (GMT & seroconversion rates) of Fluarix vs Fluzone 21 days post-vaccination in adults (18 yrs). 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 NCT00197288, 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 18 Jan 2017.
